NowhereUSA, I used to play Final Fantasy games. I did play the tenth one on the PS2. It was a dramatic game, but I liked how much it tried to show real people in the situations it presented the best it could, although probably not perfectly. I really liked the story. I had first played its sequel and got a very misguided look about what the story was originally like. The two were like night and day. I then played the 12th one and it was also very different. It was less about characters and more about short story sequences about the main conflict, not the characters, and exploring large areas. I did play Skyrim. I liked the freedom, although I was a little sad they reused the textures and enemies a lot. I guess as big a game it was, it was understandable. I'm glad you play games wisely, too. By the way, when I was a teen, I used to write fan fiction. I wrote some pretty darn funny stuff, too. I enjoyed taking a character I liked and working off of that. Plus, I did join a forum of people like me who did the same thing. Although I would have never been allowed to talk to anyone online and I did it in secret, I was able to build up my self-esteem and social skills doing so. It really was a good thing, and I was smart about it. I think it was better to talk to good people online once and a while than not very often in real life. About ballroom dancing, my only thought is why did the interest in it die out? It's just seems so pretty and elegant a sport. I would love to wear a ballroom dress, although I never have. I too enjoy cooking, although I think I'm not good enough yet to make expensive foods. I'm giving myself some time first, and slowly working my way up to more complex dishes.

For me personally, I like video games that have fun logic puzzles you need to think over and also good stories. Same with books, now that I think about it.
