what, no cookies?
you know about the voices that speaks in your head?
i listen to them somtimes. most of the times.
sometimes they tell me good things.
sometimes they make me wish for bad things.
about this blog
it's basically the inside of sakinah's brain.
but mercifully edited, censored, and anaesthesised with a heavy dose of prozac.

Everybody wants to be an original. They end up being a copy in progress. Speak what was spoken, do what was done, think what was thought. It's comforting to move in a flock, I suppose. Makes it harder for the wolves to decide on dinner.

What makes The Pursuit of Originality uncomfortable for me is when, for want of better word, the travelers scorn whatever would be deemed unoriginal.

Insert Battle Arena commentator's voice: Proactive vs Conservative, battle it out!

It's worse when sarcasm is being used in the game. It feels a bit like cheating. Very entertaining at first, but it wears you out and destroys all the fun in the end. Like the time I played FF-X while using GameShark from start to finish. I felt like king of the world (in this case; Spira), looking down on all the pathetic mindless dumb animals weak against my skills. Even though in actuality, all I used was just a bunch of altered, misrepresented data.

It didn't count as a win.
