I have a story too! I drink sometimes for a medical condition that I have, but not usually a lot. Last night I accidentally overdid it and then stayed up until 1 am texting my sister about the untapped potential of ternary computer systems. I’m pretty sure that I was convinced they held the answers to the universe.

Oh dear, haha. Still funny!

I always like telling people that syntax-error wrote this last time he was drunk.

OH GOD xD I wish my drunk ramblings were that entertaining!

YES DO IT! DO iTTTT. Omg the circuits are a nightmare but it is so fun. I really want to make a proper original Clu costume someday. Mine looks like pajamas.

OH MAN, YOU’LL HAVE TO GIVE ME TIPS ON THE CIRCUITS.

I should do it for a convention or something. I don’t celebrate Halloween really anymore because my friends aren’t around (no parties or slightly “overage” trick or treating,) so that’s the only chance I’d have to wear it.

Sure! I’m always up to talking Tron and cosplay! Dang I’d go Tron trickortreating with you if I lived near you. Even if it wasn’t halloween

We could just go around making people’s dreams come true, right? 😀

Sounds good to me! Instead of “trick or treat” we say “Greetings, Program!”

I get that. I feel like I show my emotions better when there’s no one to show them to. It’s frustrating.

Oh yeah, definitely. I’m too self-conscious to be like this in front of other people; when I’m home alone, I’ll sing and dance and think out loud.

Yeah, I really throw great parties with just myself invited. I don’t feel self conscious, but there’s definitely something that is blocking my personality.

YES! 90s Sim games are pretty much the reason I don’t remember the 90s. I didn’t really come up for air.

Maxis games have been in my life literally as long as I can remember! I get wistful for them sometimes…even though I can’t remember playing like half of them, hah. It’s been that long.

Maxis, Sierra, even some Infocom were my childhood. I’ve probably forgotten most of it, but every now and then I remember something and go OH YEAH I remember/miss that game.

Granted, sometimes I just miss searching through floppies to find my game. is that weird.

I was always so confused when people judged me by my grades “you’re straight A, you shouldn’t have moral failings”. Like being a good parrot for the school system makes me a deity and above such things as human temptation?

I’ve found that people assumed I had no problems because I got good grades and was kind of a nerd. I completely fell prey to the absentminded professor stereotype in the sense that I think that’s how others saw me, but that’s not how I was. I’ve always been booksmart, so that’s how I did well in school…I was a horrible procrastinator, incredibly disorganized, and almost never studied. People thought I was some kind of demigod (har har) who focused on intellectual pursuits and did well in everything.

I remember people were surprised to find out I even had a boyfriend in eleventh grade! It was as if that didn’t fit into their narrative about me.

Yeah, there is definitely a stigma with getting good grades. That “oh you’re smart, life must be so easy for you” thing.

I guess the public school kids saw me as the shy, quiet, super-smart teacher’s pet type. A lot of people seem to see me as cute and young and innocent, and naive and brilliant. Like I’m some kind of raw, newly formed brain they want to harvest and use for their own purposes.

The church school kids thought I was the rebel demon child from hell who watched science fiction and listened to rock music and STILL managed to get straight As. I heard years later that I was considered by parents to be “a bad influence”, which amuses me greatly, given my otherwise sweet and adorable reputation.

Which is it? BOTH muahaha. The duality of genius.
