I needed somewhere to say this. I swear it's vaping related eventuallly. But this is my WTH rant for today.
Why???
I love gaming. I obsessively love it. Give me a game with a storyline and great characters and I'm in. I've spend over 1000 hours in each Bioware game I own, and countless hours in others (I have over 300 games). But Someone always has to make jabs at it. I shouldn't get butthurt about it, but part of me does.
I discovered vaping in January. It has saved me from cigarettes. And for some people, that's enough. For me, it's become a hobby, a collection of things I think look cool that do the thing that keeps me off cigarettes. But someone, even others that vape make little jabs at my collecting. And it isn't people that don't matter, it's friends I dearly love, that are doing it in jest. I know if I ever said hey, come on that bothers me they'd stop and feel awful about it.
I guess just once, I'd like to be able to Squee (fangirl talk) about my favorite things to people in my life without worrying about getting poked at, or humored. People that share my passions. But I just haven't met many that get it.
And here's the kicker...I'm a woman. So if I got to gaming things, I'm blown off as not a real gamer etc etc. Anything with techgeek themes, I've learned gets me the same treatment.
I just...I'm sorry for the whine. I just...WTH man, WTH.
Hey Jess -- WTH girl, don't let them take away from what you enjoy. Overlook them because it is YOU that has to live your life. Not them. I know people picking at you must be bothersome but ask yourself this, do their opinions matter more than your happiness does?I also collect vaping supplies like mechanical mods. I have more than enough, but I like having them. RDAs, I have more then enough of those too. Juices and DIY supplies. Yep, I got plenty of that too. It is a hobby and a healthier one than cigar collecting right?
As far as gaming gos, I know plenty of girl gamers that play Vikings Gone Wild on Fb and Battle Pirates. Even my nephews that play their PS3s and play clan wars in whatever game they are playing, have girls in their clans and from what I understand, they play just as good as the guys do.
Some good advice if I may. The key to happiness is to just stay away from A-Hs.
