Writing - the act of creating a story really is enjoying and I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something (note* I had developed some real resentment for my writing, but it's starting to come around again)

Gaming - yes, believe it or not I like playing MMORPG games and roleplaying games (read: Dungeons and Dragons). Why? Because you're set up to win and the imaginary characters are thankful for what you've done. It's nice to accomplish something and not get punished/receiving negative reinforcement for doing it. Even if it is just imaginary.
