Hi guys. I am 20 and I used to play quite a lot of Broodwar, yet I never broke past D+ on ICCup. I played quite a bit of Nexus Word Wars and Sotis in SC2, but I just never got into the game like I did BW.

I was very active in the TL Maplestory guild for a while, but now I just loosely associate with the Kpop and HoN threads. (Though I do not speak a word of korean beyond kimchi and saranghae and I am <1200 MMR). You've probably also seen at least one or two of my condescending posts in political threads.

I have done many cool things in my life, such as travel and study. Expectedly, I have been to many places in the world and have read many textbooks. I like to sing and play guitar, but I don't dare do these things with my musical shower-passion in front of other people, since my vocals and fingerstyle precision are above-average at best. Sometimes I work up the courage to upload a music video to youtube, but I always get too embarrassed at how I look or how I sound that I very quickly stopped. I think I have problems with vulnerability.

I used to love close-up magic, but so few people were close enough to me to read through my sarcasm that I felt the art of illusion simply furthered my being from the goodness of human contact. While I still keep my my manual dexterity and can pull as good a sleight as any, I haven't performed in years.

I like to write poetry, but many who have read my poetry comment that I sound more mechanical than expressive... that I focus too much on the form in hopes that it might somehow compensate for my lack of heartfelt content.

My life is neither extraordinary nor tragic. My talents are many, but modest.
All-in-all, I'm a pretty mediocre person and probably not somebody you'd be proud to claim as an acquaintance.

So why do I bother to offer my hand in friendship?

Well don't you feel better about yourself in comparison already?

Don't get your hopes up. I'm a dude.

Kritty is awesome! I don't think we'll ever agree on our taste for K-Pop idols, however.

C- is doable as long as you know some solid build orders and raise the mechanics. You should hang out in op teamliquid on iccup sometimes, although most are afk most of the time...

Oh, nevermind, I read the spoiler.

Just kidding, of course, don't get down on yourself, you're more interesting than me!

In terms of mechanics I was totally capable of 220+ apm and had super solid macro. I just had a massive psychological problem of sabotaging myself with worse-than-horrible micro, throwing away entire armies into tank lines, getting my units caught while a ling backstab nabs my 3rd. It was just too stressful to stay cool and not feed my shuttle + reavers in the heat of the moment

Nobody thought I was 37 years old. I said it as a joke once. I guess it caught on -___-

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I'm also mediocre! and on SC2 NA server, Gigaflop.263 if you ever wanna chat! I also play other videogames, though, so I haven't been on that much recently. But if you have Terraria, I'd be glad to start a new worldand do stuff!

So, i guess i can be your friend!

Wait... why didn't you post your true age? 37 years old?! I'm glad to see more 30+ year old people playing SC2.

Can I be your friend? I write bad blogs and tell everyone I'm learning to play the bass guitar, but I never practice... My poems can have lots of emotion in them, but never have good form! (except haiku) I spend my days playing video games and pretending like I'm completely independent, but I always get depressed when I'm alone. :/

I'll be your friend! I'm so addicted to TL that instead of checking my work e-mail, which is the first tab that open when I start Chrome, I go to TL and read blogs and join in the tourney LR threads :<
