Pokemon, bisexuality, boss battles, depression, BOTVGH
Pokemon - Pokemon has been pretty much my life since about 1999. I started with the show in 1998, and played my cousin's Blue at Christmas, but I didn't get seriously into it until I got both Red and Blue in 1999. Pokemon, of course, hit me just as I started getting into the internet, so I joined a lot of Pokemon communities. As it is, all of the communities I'm in are either Pokemon-related (Bulbagarden, Smogon), or communities I found through Pokemon communities (Roleplay, which I found via The PokeMasters; or BOTVGH, which I found through Roleplay). Every time I think I'm done with Pokemon, new games come out and I get dragged back it. >:O So yeah, I'll probably be playing Pokemon until either a) I die or b) the series dies. I'll take bets on which one happens first. :B
Bisexuality - lol, this is kind of a funny one. Fact is, I've never had a real-life date in my life. That means I don't really *know* what my sexuality is. :| That said, I honestly tend to ignore gender (which is probably the result of years with the internet as my only interesting human contact) in favor of things like personality, so yeah. I'm meeting my online boyfriend in May, though, so we'll see how that goes.
Boss Battles - Well this was to be expected from Evvie. :B I remember the good old days of BBing in RPX, back when we all had 50HP and 50HP and PARTNERS. Man, I miss partners. I ought to bring that back. Anyway, the major thing for me BB-wise is, obviously, the fact that I'm hosting now. That's a lot of fun, and I hope to keep doing it (fingers crossed that LOL WORK doesn't interfere when I have to get a jerb. :B) I'm going to be honest - I'm having a lot of fun planning out the upcoming STORY ARC, especially the climactic battles, which should be really interesting.
Depression - Ugh. :| My depression stems from a crushing lack of self-confidence that sometimes verges on self-loathing. I'm not sure why I'm like that; I suspect a lifetime of really high standards combined with a strong memory for mistakes is a good starting point, though. Hopefully, when my thesis is done and out of the way, I'll have less stress in my life and I'll feel a lot better.
BOTVGH - You know, I tend to think of myself more as a Roleplayer than a BOTVGHer, seeing as I found Roleplay first. :B The BOTVGH people are nice (with a few notable exceptions), and generally they're interesting. Personally, I kind of hope that RPX and BOTVGH continue to grow closer, because really, there's not a lot of difference between them anyway. :B
