One of the things I hated about gaming, and don’t miss in the slightest, is all the smacktalk that goes on.\u00a0\u00a0 When you play online games of any kind, you can’t escape the morons who use the games to make themselves feel like less of a loser and spend all their time mouthing off.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been feeling so well lately, and I visited the doctor yesterday after being up since 3:30am.\u00a0\u00a0 He sent me for bloodwork to test my sugar and stuff, but said he suspects I might have Vertigo<\/a>, lovely.\u00a0 I had to come home and Google it to find out what exactly it was.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On top of that, I have (TMI TIME) some serious female crap going on, which the doctor is also helping me sort out.\u00a0\u00a0 Needless to say, I’m not a happy camper… especially since this is causing me to take time off work.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m feeling like shit and not sleeping well at all, which doesn’t bode well when you work in a job where concentration and attention to detail is a must.\u00a0 Especially if you are new and already worry enough that you are missing things or making mistakes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I hate that I am taking time off so soon after starting there but hopefully they will be cool about it.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, getting back to the gamer thing.\u00a0\u00a0 I was up at ridiculous o’clock again today, like 4am or something… so what is there to do when you are awake in the middle of the night?\u00a0\u00a0 I decided to play this battleship type game on Facebook to pass some time and get my mind off what was ailing me.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s when I met this genius... <\/em><\/p>\n

Alberto: hey
\nTammy: Hi
\nAlberto: you’re dead
\nTammy: Ok :)
\nAlberto: i’m gonna eat you up
\nTammy: alrighty
\nAlberto: you suck
\nTammy: are you here to play or chat?
\nAlberto: both naby
\nTammy: then find something a little more interesting to say
\nAlberto: like how preety you are
\nTammy: no not that either
\nAlberto: why not
\nTammy: because I don’t find it any more interesting than the other things you said
\nAlberto: can i put my hands down your pants
\nTammy: sure, I’ll mail you a pair
\nAlberto: i want you in it
\nTammy: I’ll put a picture of me in the pocket<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently the male ego demands smacktalk even on the lamest of gaming platforms.\u00a0 I probably should have taken a moment to tell Alberto about World of Warcraft<\/a>, which is like the Mecca of gamer egos, where he could find more of his people…. but just a moment after that conversation I sunk a buttload of his ships, he surrendered and ran off with his tail between his legs before I could school him.<\/p>\n

PWNED!! BREIGH FTW!<\/p>\n

It did work though, for that entire time I totally forgot how crappy I feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
