16 - Other people's shitty opinions

I was in kindergarten, I think, or maybe I was a little older, but not by much. I needed to pee so I headed for the bathroom where I found my mother cleaning the toilet. I crinkled my nose and declared I never wanted to clean a toilet in my whole life. My mother told me I'd have to one day and I insisted I never would. "Well, it's not going to clean itself and I'm not going to come to your house to clean for you," she told me. I said she wouldn't have to because I'd be rich and famous and I'd hire someone to clean my toilets and hers, so she wouldn't have to either! She sneered and me and said, "You'll never be able to afford a maid."

17 - Hidden talents

I've never been very big on video games. Most of the stuff I play is in the puzzle/strategy category. Every once in a while I venture into the realm of platform games but that's really about it. My nephews, on the other hand, are huuuuuuge fans of gaming. They love racing games, fighting games, first-person shooters... Any kind of action game, really. And I love watching them, but I'm just not much of a player. I am, however, a sucker for my nephews so when the oldest one (12 at the time, which made me 14) begged and begged me to play against him, eventually I agreed. He picked Tekken 3 which is a fighting game that he'd just gotten a few weeks earlier. I'd never even watched him play it. Everyone was prepared for me to have my ass handed to me.

Yeah, no. I totally whipped his butt. I didn't even need time to get used to which buttons produced which moves. I just got in there and K.O.'d him like it's what I was born to do. XD Honestly? You really don't need to have any kind of gaming talent or knowledge to kick ass at fighting games. All you need to do is button-smash and have better rhythm than the person you're playing against. Trufax, folks, you heard it here first.

ha! I had the exact same video game experience with my cousin! You're absolutely right that it's all about the button-smashing and rhythm.

Hi, this is me, I just really had to reply with my Wilson journal, because of your icon. :D

Anyway. I wonder what would happen if we played a fighting game against each other. I bet it'd be LOLarious and tons of fun to watch. XD
