I agree, but coming onto a forum that's new to you and then trying to spoon feed the regulars some ridiculous story about how your ex-bf is the basis for a fictional character is just stupid.
Seriously, I have seen this crap before. Let me tell you a story.
I went to school from kindergarten through to High School with a bunch of gamers. They played D&D, and that was cool. They found something to enjoy when the outside world was rejecting them. Fine.
Well, I didn't see them for a while after high school. then I stumbled across them and we started hanging out here or there, since we hung out in some of the same places.
Then I started hearing some damned crazy stuff.They belived their house sat on a portal to a hell dimension and stuff like that. I thought it was all part of their games.
Well, I had another friend who was in the middle of a complete breakdown. Dudes life sucked. In his early twenties and never havingeven kissed a girl
( yes alot of the people I hung out with were geeks. I like geeks. Very rarely does a geek stab you in the back. And the goth scene of which I was part is filled with them. )
Well, lil jon ( the 23 year old virgin ) was in bad shape. Contemplating suicide and becoming more and more of a recluse to everybody but myself. One problem... I was shipping out. So I thought and I thought about it, and decided that he needed friends while I was gone, but who? Then I thought of the Gillespies ( the crazy D&D folks).
I introduced them and they hit it off. Started hanging out, even without me. I shipped out. Time passes and when I get back I look them all up.
Lil Jon is the first of that group I talk to. He mentions a girl. I am naturally ecstatic for him. We meet in our usual meeting spot, the local cemetary ( I was goth, what do you want of me? )
We meet up and he says "Steve, this is my girlfriend, Xantha."
There's nobody there. I think hes joking, so I shake hands with the empty air to his right.
"No Steve, shes over here," he says frustratedly gesturing another empty bit of air.
I freeze, realizing he isn't kidding. Lil jon sees this and says " I forgot. Jon and Nicole ( the Gillespies) said you might not have the sight."
He procedes to tell me how Jon and Nicole got him into "Spell-casting" and how during one session Nicole felt the presence of a four-armed indian spirit named Xantha. Turns out she had taken a liking to Lil Jon. Next thing you know the boy is walking around holding hands with and kissing the air where he sees a four armed indian girl.
I tried talking sense into Lil Jon, but got nowhere.
I went off on the Gillespies and haven't talked to any of them since. LastI heard Nicole performed a marriage ceremony. So now my one time depressed friend is completely nuts and is now married to an imaginary friend.
So you see, I have no patience for pretend bullshit. When you're kids, that is fine. But for an adult to try to sell that crap to a bunch of adults? No way.
And if you do believe it then I pity you and give my regards to your four armed indian spirit girlfriend, because you're just as nuts as Lil Jon.
