I don't really mind your choice of lifestyle. It's OK with me if you've become a sort of hermitiosexual.

(To wit: his characterization of me as "wasting" my life and squandering opportunities around every corner.)

I would just like to see you do more with things, I guess. That's all! Just grab that brass key, if you could, please. Okay. Forget the brass key. The brass lantern and the skeleton key would do nicely instead.

Now let's sit back and revel in the creation of my new unit. Now let's make him walk around in circles! Now let's press all the spell buttons which are deactivated, so they don't do anything. Ahhh, POWER!")

I think you would like the game Majesty.

Here's proof to that end.

You know what I would like to see you do? (Well, not you specifically.) (Well, ALSO you specifically.) Quit projecting your own desires, drives, and moral structure onto other people, and let them just live their lives however the fuck they want to.

I talked about this with my mother yesterday. We both live under the primary guideline "do unto others as we would have them do unto us". To that end, she's very outgoing and social and talkative and kind and always wants to be involved with people and help them out if she can, or just brighten their day, if only a little bit.

To that end, I leave people the fuck alone.

Heh. Yes, I did find this both entertaining and familiar.
