I was wondering about what it was that I did for fun as a kid. I was wondering because I was wondering why I like video games. It's not because I played a bunch as a kid. I didn't have many friends as a kid. The friends I did have did play video games, but video games wasn't really how I interacted with them. I never practiced at games like they did. While they acquired skills to play Counter Strike and Star Craft, and talked about selling the loot they found in Diablo, all I did was listen. My parents didn't buy me Counter Strike, Star Craft, or Diablo. I never asked. My uncle gave me a copy of Star Craft, but I still didn't really get into it. I think it's because people moved on when I got it. In college I played DotA. Not well. I didn't care to play well. No one wanted to play with me because I was so bad. I had some fun despite being so bad, but I didn't make any new friends over the game.
I watched a lot of TV as a kid. Alone. I watched so much TV my dad installed physical locks (key operated power switches) on our TVs. I don't really really remember what I did when the TVs were locked. I never really developed a kinship with people who watched TV either. Mainly because I didn't know any, or because I watched shows that were unpopular. I remember following Firefly and Farscape in high school. I watched a lot of afternoon cartoons too. Batman The Animated series was one that stood out. I often found myself at the Discovery Channel or the History Channel. I still enjoy watching most documentaries.
I've been wondering about my personality, about who I am, and where I come from, hoping to get a clue about where I am going. I've been described as sad and depressing. That's what I think too. I have the habit of telling myself that I'm crazy, that I'm some sort of monster, that I'm a horrible person, and that I'm unfit for society. This happens involuntarily and after I've been thinking about my past actions and behaviors. My mom tells me that I have to tell myself that I'm a good person full of capability, but I can't lie to myself. I don't honestly believe I'm a good person full of capability. I don't know if I honestly believe I'm a bad person devoid of all capability either though. I do wonder what it is that I'm capable of though. twenty-three years of life has not yielded anything I think is useful to show for it.
All I have to offer at this point in my life seems to be this log of my introspection. I don't know what I'm suppose to do with it. I doubt it's worth much. Not enough to sustain my life at least.

But I'm back to where I started, nothing's really changed. I don't believe I'd do well in school so the thought of going back scares me. I'm not looking for a job for some reason. I'm sitting at home playing video games again. Well I just finished Borderlands, and until I get my network card and find some friends to play with me I'm probably not going back to it.
But most people don't seem to want to work, and most people don't seem to like school. So what makes me special? Why do I get to decide that I won't work unless I want to or I won't go to school unless I like it?

Why did I make such a big deal out of my parents neglecting me? There are plenty of kids that are neglect that seem to turn out alright. What makes me so special? Why did I make a big deal of it? Is it a big deal?
The emotion I was feeling at the time. That was special and I wanted to tell the world. But I'm afraid that I was obnoxious about it. Was I?

When I make a mistake I'm really harsh on myself. I succumb to the idea that I shouldn't bother trying anymore. I succumb to the idea that I shouldn't bother living anymore because I'm a failure. I have a feeling I learned this from my parents. My parents always ask me what I'm going to do different next time. They always want me to do better. The problem is I don't know if I can do better next time, so I try to avoid "next time."
I realize that what I really want is my parents to hug me and say it's okay, everything will be alright, you'll figure it out next time, life doesn't have to end. In this way I'm encouraged to try again instead of trying to figure out a perfect plan that ensures success.
After realizing this I should practice this method of comforting people or else I may inflict the kind of pain I was subject to.

I'm feeling sick again. I'm trying to figure out what classes I need to take at the community college. I have an academic counseling session December 2nd, but my mom is yelling at me now because she's afraid classes will be filled. I just don't know how to deal with her insanity.
