Sushifer's fabulous adventures in procrastination

webloreart:

I would LOVE to go see David Tennant and Catherine Tate live on stage in the London performance of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Unfortunately, money and location keep me bound from going. When David was in Hamlet with Patrick Stewart, a petition was put in place to have that performance go to DVD. This link is to a petition for the same thing to happen to Much Ado. If you can, please sign and pass it on :)

I feel simultaneously guilty and very smug that I’ve had the supreme pleasure of seeing this in the theatre. (it was very good, btw :D )

BIOWARE I LOVE YOU LET’S GET GAY MARRIED IN CANADA OK

Yay, happy for you guise~! NOW KISS THAT KAIDAN/GARRUS GOOD, M!SHEP.

This made my day. =D

Huzzah! About time too. Provided there’s a tough girl I actually like in ME3, my wonderfully macho f!shep should hopefully get some well-earned lady-lovin. Liara was just too much of an easy conquest to be worth her time in ME1.

Highlights - Male to Female ratio is at a 60/40% split. (Online gamers? 58/42%.) More female gamers over the age of 18 (33%) than male gamers 17 or under (20%). This is not news, I read that in a book published in 2005 and it hasn’t changed.

Although I’m a little curious if they’re basing that on actual players or strictly sales data - moms buying M rated games for their under-17 sons could screw up that percentage. I think they’ve accounted for that though. 

Average number of years adult gamers have been playing - 12 (average for female adult gamers - 10. Pffaaah. I’ve been playing since. Um. Since I could hold an NES controller? Excitebike and Duck Hunt anyone? X3 So probably 21 or 22 years…)

Anyway, more Bioware Is Right/’Straight Male Majority’ Is A Myth propaganda from me. X3

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

Webcomic artists! What is up with those guys? All they do is sit around and draw pictures, it can’t be that hard can it? It’s not like they’re out running a triathlon or something. Why do they keep asking me for donations? Why don’t they reply to my comments? And why don’t they for god’s sake…
