Paradigm Shifts
Okay so first it is important that you know that how I got through my giant exam last summer was partially through pllaying the Asteroids widget on my laptop. It was what I did to de-stress.. a blowing up little chunks of virtual rock to explosion sounds can be quite destressing.. plus it had the benefit of being a procrastination that kept my laptop in my lap, so that was good. I did this for over a month, and to a frequency where I had to stop for a while because I was getting obsessive, like you do, it happened with Tetris the same way....
Only today, after all that time, after all that playing I realised I could move the ship. All this time I thought the game was a stationary ship that you turn and blast the rocks with.. it never occured to me the thing could move. I suddenly thought.. hey what happens if I press other buttons... and the damn thing moved...
For some reason this makes me think of my life... how sometimes I forget that I can change my habits and just.. move.
But mostly it was just freaky.
Yeah.
Ok, I'm a nerd I accept that.
