...I actually like playing a dwarf in World of Warcraft.

But who knows how much longer I'll be playing that game? Now that I have the hang of Dwarf Fortress-- I just started playing it a few weeks ago-- it's eating up all my time instead of WoW. I can't be as creative in a breathtaking 3D environment where you systematically just kill everything over and over.

Haha, yeah.  Today my pally was in Ironforge and I thought 'I wonder how long before there's a tantrum?' and when I saw the goblins in Gadgetzan I thought 'Oh shit, siege!  Oh, wait...'

I recently watched the LotR movies again and yelled at the screen when Legolas beat Gimli in a drinking contest.
That was a win? I'm sure Legolas only had one drink.

Yeah.  The tricksy cheating elf didn't play the Dwarven way.

... I suddenly realized that I have started referring to the floors in my school as z levels. As in "I gotta run, my class is up two z levels" "Huh?" "I mean floors"

I hear if you combine them with dwarven syrup you can make rhesus pieces.

There are no Kangaroos in Austria. Trust me.

The reason Legolas beat Gimli in a drinking contest in LotR is because LotR Elves are like, physically invulnerable They're just plain superior to every other living creature on the planet.

This is offset by the fact that they are also complete assholes and excellent smiths, so it's all good.

... after an event occurs, I get a status message in my head.

... I am now deathly afraid of a kid in my class that is nicknamed Carp.

Carp is very annoying in classes, he like to interrupt the teachers with "the correct answer"

...sometimes, when something of note happens to me, it plays out in my head in a little "Retro has been happy lately. Someone held the elevator door for him lately" kind of way.

For a class we had to read "Black Cat" by Edger Poe.  Today during the class discussion everyone was talking about how horrible the scene was where the main character carved out his cat's eye with a pen knife.  I sat there and listened... I killed about 10 cats this morning before class...

I also own two cats, my brother and I got them for our birthdays. Despite their real names, I've taken a liking to calling them Bolts and Biscuits.

If I ever get another cat I'm probably going to call him/her Soapy.
