Well I’ve cleaned this slate, with the hands of uncertainty.

They are very few things that can really shake me to the core.
I mean I know I can get pretty agitated sometimes concerning certain things but I can admit there isn't much that really affects me emotionally.
Until I received a certain comment.
Look I know you were just joking and there was no hostile intention in that but I think I have to make things clear to you and everyone else.
I am NOT proud to be called a crazy gaming freak.
I may have been at one point in my life, and I would've felt all warm inside receiving that comment.
But now when I saw that I couldn't help but feel disgust, shame, guilt and above all intense personal disappointment.
That is NOT a part of my life I want to be associated with any longer. That is NOT what I want to be known as exclusively.
Some people already know this fact very clearly. When they ask me to game like every single week I used to lap it all up and neglect everything else. Now they know the first thing I would do now is shove my middle finger in their face, and I have a long middle finger.
I don't mind being called crazy in other things.
I don't mind being the crazy tastes-for-stuff guy.
I don't mind being the crazy random guy.
I even don't mind being called the crazy retarded guy (but then this depends on the context you're using it LAH)
But I never ever want to hear myself being called the crazy gamer guy ever again.
Of course, gaming has been such an integral and core part of my life that I can never truly be rid of it.
So I'm happy with just being called a casual gamer.
To that person: I'm sorry for reacting way beyond what you would expect but you have to know this okay.
Crazy EDEs FTW!
=D
