This is a place to express emotions. Feeling good? Wanna vent about your bad (fur) day? This is the place!
Now, for me...I still feel like shit from last night. I had to change my avatar in various places yesterday due to a friend's unhealthy obsession with a fictional character causing his depression.
Conker is awesome, don't get me wrong, I love that little squirrel. I just love "her" more. But I gotta stick to my word to not using the avatar for at least a month. You can't ask me about "her" during this time. I know it's just an avatar, but still...
To make matters worse, my friend seems to be changing...and quite frankly, I'm not sure it's for the better. He seems somewhat stable now, but I'll give it some time for the changes to sink in...not to mention he's still saying negative things about his "other" self...
I was reaching my wit's end there, since it felt like past attempts to help this person (from me and many, many others) weren't getting through. This one seems to have, but I'm not quite sure it's having the effect we wanted it to have...
Sorry for being so melodramatic over a fictional character, an avatar and my friend...I just don't know if it was worth it...
To try and end this on a somewhat positive note, I did see my nephews yesterday, and got to expose them to Banjo-Kazooie. However, I think I ought to get one of the mini Xbone controllers; the nephew that played was having trouble with the regular-sized controller I let him use. Still, all least he seemed like he was having fun. When I go on my trip in an hour, it's definitely on my list of "things to buy."
So, what are yours?
