Role played

At the risk of lowering my dateability quotient, I'll proclaim that I just finished a video game! Woohoo!


It's about an ordinary little boy having to take on extraordinary responsibilities and save the world. Standard Harry Potter faire. Although this little boy has a hat that talks to him and lets him shrink down to mini size!

Ahem. But it's not the particular game that's important. It's more that I haven't actually finished a video game in decades! I'm more of a collector. I like downloading every game for a platform ever released, just so I'd have a complete collection of something. Sure it's a bit compulsive, but what's life without a little OCD? But I usually start many games, play the odd one through to the final boss and lose interest, since I've seen 95% of the story, and the last 5% requires the most effort.

Ahem. But it's not about video games. It's reflective of what I've often done. Starting things without following through to the end. And it's been like that since I was young. The ebb and flow of my motivation has delayed many things...

This is half the solution right?
