"I Live in Your World, You Play in Mine." #HAWMC

The quote "I Live in Your World, you Play in Mine" actually is made up by myself. As I worked for Sony's PlayStation Store, they came out with a tagline of "You live in your World, You play in Ours". Or something like that. and I took it and made something new and kind of different.

The quote made me feel like I was taking back the stigma of being labeled "abnormal" in a "normal" world. It also was something that if I said it, people would think it sounded familiar, but not too familiar (so I wouldn't get sued by Sony). I use it today in my GMail Signature, however sometimes I delete it because I don't know how "normal" people would perceive the tagline especially coming from an adult that they know nothing about.

Though video games have saved me from going completely off the deep end. Say what you will about violent video games, but playing 30-40 minutes of Grand Theft Auto (in extreme cases) or Ratchet and Clank (which I play more often) has been very cathartic and allowed me to vent anger, frustration and act on feelings that I would not and could not act on in real life. See Violent Video games do help when given the chance to do positive work than the negative they always seem to get when something bad happens.
