Q: Why shouldn't Trickmaster Rapid be given too much empty free time where he's doing pretty much nothing? Times like showering or sleeping?
A: I play video games for this very reason; it keeps me occupied. Really, when I'm unoccupied, one of two things can happen.
Half of the time, especially recently, I might go into a downward spiral of depression and think depressed, possibly semi-blatantly self-destructive thoughts.
The other half, you get moments where I pace around in my mind for minutes upon minutes, constantly muttering the phrase, "666. Darnit, Loominatus!" over and over, as if I was rehearsing it or something.
Moral of the story: Video games aren't all bad. The way I think of it, it can act somewhat like alcohol, except alcohol is stupid and impairs your mind for days so you can't game properly.
(This post is also a reminder that we're still alive. Our town has, thankfully, not yet been completely wiped out by the impending apocalyptic earthquake-tsunami that everyone seems to be hyping up lately. Thank you guys for giving me nightmares about it, by the way.)
