I think the second random player option sometimes applies to me... Not that I make excuses to others, but to myself! "Oh, I lost because I so rarely play rZvZ..." Hehe.

But to be honest, I really do like all the races for different reasons... The three are so different, but all so cool and fun. :/

I updated the OP in case people start to take this too seriously.

@red_hq:
Watch the GLHF.it interview with Huk. He basically says that he picked Protoss as a race and got a reputation as a 1-base all-in player because his comp used to suck too much to macro. His main goal was to end the game before hitting 100 food, or he'd auto-lose to video lag. So maybe you should be 1-basing with early pushes instead of macroing? Between (semi) walls at your choke, chronoboost, not having to consume a worker to make buildings, and cannons being versatile against ground/air, there's no shortage of potential for protoss to hard macro. Just keep a decent standing force and have 800 warpgates to make a full army the instant you need it (sounds a lot like a typical Z style). More and more we're seeing that all the races have cute little ways to harass/contain/map-control with an inferior army size. Sounds a lot more fun than 2 gate robo timing pushes 24/7, but playing aggressive P with timing pushes isn't bad.

rofl your Protoss segment is insulting to those of us who have been Protoss for so long. Maybe because there is like a small segment of truth somewhere in there. Got a good laugh out of it

Well this is awkward. The random, zerg, and protoss segment somewhat applies to me.

Lol funny post. I started playing as Zerg in BW but when I tried Protoss I was naturally better with them. But alas, Zerg will always be my favourite of them all.
...but the parasites say NO!
