Confessions

This blog is a place for me to talk about things that I am too nervous or self conscious to talk about with my 'friends'. So that means it is time to make a few confessions.
I like poetry (generally that found in lyrics though).
I love a good story. This is something I love above almost anything. The most beautiful thing in anything, a game, a photo, a movie, a song is the story behind it.
I read books. Yes, ya chitao (Russian for I read). The most beautiful stories are in books, most likely because the author has a lot more control over the finished product to develop something exactly as they envision it. The Lord of the Rings is probably my favourite story ever, the whole atmosphere, lore and history behind and the general depth that fills the book is just amazing.
I enjoy single player games more than multiplayer. Again because of the story. Favourite game ever would have to be System Shock 2. It had an awesome atmosphere, storyline and told the story in one of the most effective ways I have yet seen. Although half life rates up there pretty high as well.

Well that was worthwhile. Sometimes I wonder if I write this thing to simply give a perception of myself that is much easier to control rather than to simply truly express myself. Although, if all I do is construct images of myself, and that is all that anyone sees, that is all I am. In terms of a hidden personality, if no one sees it it might as well not exist, and to everyone else it doesn't.

On another note however, does anyone else have conversations with themselves? I mean, not quite with themselves as in a discussion with themselves, rather imagining conversations before they happen. It is a habit of mine, and at best it is a harmless distraction for my wandering mind, and at worst it is the first sign of madness. It kind of annoys me, although being mad would have its benefits. The slightly skewed viewpoint would lead to some interesting actions on my behalf.

Edit: Nope, not mad. Plato wrote all of his best ideas as dialogues, something I should have realized before, and I just read something else about someone else evaluating ideas through internal arguments. That is good to know and kind of disappointing at the same time.
