i’ve only ever seen the first star wars movie.
i’ve never seen any of the x-men movies, and probably won’t.
only saw the first matrix movie.

don’t own a comic book. didn’t buy them as a kid.

don’t read fantasy or SF literature. don’t read much fiction at all, in truth.

have played D&D exactly once, and only long enough to know I wouldn’t be doing that again.

never been involved in any other kind of LARP.

don’t own any multisided dice.

i own one action figure and that’s of Sigmund Freud.

have never owned a video game console of any vintage.

do not currently own or intend to own any video games, or play any such games on my computer.

I was peripherally involved in an online RPG once, but only so I knew what the hell everyone around me was talking about.

never played lazer tag, paintball, killers/targets, etc.

never been to a rave, taken X, or completely understood the appeal of Daft Punk. (I suspect I’m not alone on that last one.)

don’t particularly like NIN.

have never downloaded music, legally or otherwise.

don’t own an iPod, don’t intend to (I detest headphones, earbuds, etc). I do have satellite radio, though.

all this is by way of saying that i am swiftly reaching a point in my life where i will no longer know what anyone around me is talking about.

then again, it’s not like they currently understand me, either.

It’s late, I’m sitting at the keyboard with a half-done poem, and the Smiths are on the radio.

If I wasn’t 46 years old, I’d swear I was 25 years old.
