Meme, (probably annoyingly) yoinked from mutt12

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

My questions, as asked by (as noted) mutt12

1) You don't harbor any ill will towards me for having to boot you out a little under two years ago, do you?

Towards you? No. It has, however, added another layer onto an already staggering number of layers of self-loathing I have, though. Trust me - you kept us around as long as you could. If you were a normal person (read: an asshole) I would've been out on my ass by the second month, or by the first month with DeAnna around. That you kept me around for six months, and DeAnna around for half of that, despite how much harder we made your life, says a lot about your charity.

2) Life been treating you okay?

I'm still in a job that caps at 1000 hours per fiscal year and that owes me a performance review from half a year ago. Prozac seems to be helping the depression/bipolar/whatever it really is - I still have my temper flareups, and there have been a few cases where I've unwittingly hurt DeAnna (not my daughter, and not DeAnna intentionally), but they've been a lot fewer and further between. I burned out on my reviews sometime around April, so I'm just getting over a 3-4 month self-imposed sabbatical. (THANK YOU, JUDY, FOR NOT HATING ME AFTER THAT :D :D :D)

3) Fatherhood as much as it's cracked up to be?

God, you have no idea. It's simultaneously the best thing that's ever happened to me, and a curse that will follow me around for the rest of my life. XD Take every bad customer, every idiot who won't listen to you when you try to point out simple logic, and every psycho who goes into a ragefit whenever something doesn't go their way, and cram them all together into a 24 lb body.... and then make her the most precious, adorable, lovable thing in the world. What everyone told me before was right - it really is different when it's your own child, and there's a mutual, adoring love there.

Having a kid isn't for everyone. Good lord, with your anxiety problems, it's most certainly not for you. I can't honestly say it was the smartest choice for me. But I've never once regretted it.

4) Did it piss you off that they closed E3 off to the majority review websites?

No more than it pissed me off that my one chance to go to the old E3, DeAnna was busy having labor. :P As I said, I was on a 'I haven't finished these two-month-late reviews' forced sabbatical around the time E3 was going on anyway, but judging from the fact that lynxara was able to go, I think there's still hope for me yet. And if not, eh, there's a lot of other media crap to cover. Hell, if I learn Japanese, I could try to go to the TGS! (Hah, that'd be the day.)

5) Play any good games lately?

(We're gonna need a bigger boat.)
