While I should probably be studying for finals and regents, I've been thinking...
When I play StarCraft, I have fun.  I play strategies that I like to play and stay away from trying to execute strategies that I feel are obnoxious to play. I have a lot of fun microing and winning small engagements. I play a playstyle that revolves around harassing a lot because that's what I like to do. I feel like I win more games if I play a more macro focused games, but I enjoy microing my little heart out.
This is very annoying for the opponent to play against. I'm sure everyone has played a game where all the opponent did was harass. Eventually you found yourself with no workers and proceeded to rage quit the game/A-move your entire army into their base by using the minimap while crying yourself to sleep. ^_^
I was trying to find an interesting analogy between personalities and playstyles.
I tend to be that person who is very paranoid about people. I don't trust a lot of what people say. I recently had a girl ask me to the graduation dance with her. I refuse to believe that she actually likes me. I've been trying to find out what she's up to, but I can't seem to find anything. (It's probably some prank or dare.) In conclusion, I'm very cautious when it comes to making friends. (I'm also a giant asshole because of this. :D)
Could this cautious mindset be like the harass heavy playstyle I play? It's annoying for the other person because almost nothing they say will actually get through to me. I assume this is very annoying for the person when they actually do like me and want to get to know me. I'm constantly questioning and probing for the real reason why that person is conversing with me. Could this be connected to why I enjoy constantly poking and harassing in StarCraft?
Harassing the opponent = Questioning the person
Opponent's response to harassment = Answer to the question
Information gathered (army composition, tech paths, resource management, etc.) = Information interpreted
No pressure on my base/army because of harassment = I give up little information about myself for them to use
I'm sure there are many contradictions in this analogy, but I'm curious to look into it. This is just an idea that could be pursued in the future for fun.
Could it be possible to create an analogy between one's personality and playstyle? Could I predict how someone enjoys playing StarCraft just by understanding their personality? Vice versa?
Happy gaming! I get to go back to studying... -_- Yay....

I tried to figure out ways to make the joke better, but I can't. The joke is made.

You don't deserve to be happy. But you earned it, so way to go.

That's not an all-in.
That's a 14cc.

You made an account on TL, and used one of your first posts to tell someone that they don't deserve to be happy? This isn't the way... StarCraft may be a game about a brutal war, but it's really just a metaphor for the struggle for peace within ourselves, so maybe you should think about that and be kind to others.

So if I cannon rush zergs as much as possible, I'm not an asshole I'm just trying to make peace with myself.

I'm just kidding, that guy is a douche and I didn't know how to say it without saying something like "Cut off your fingers so you can't type more stupid shit", but I decided to be silly with it.
But related to that - cannon rush all you want. It's part of the game. If you don't cannon rush, Zergs will be like "oH i CaN jUsT mAkE tHrEe HaTcHeRiEs b4 pOoL LaWL" and stupid shit like that.

The nice part about cannon rushing is that they never expect a 2 gate proxy.
