I was born before the video game craze, thank God, video games rot your brain and they are full of gratuitous violence, stealing, and prostitutes - seriously, objectify women much? Go outside. I don't even know nor care to know how to use these new gaming systems.
I am a bit of a freak when it comes to violence and the supernatural. I am Christian, but when I went to Savannah, GA I booked a nighttime 'Tour of Savannah's Haunted Places' a week ahead. Also, nothing like spending 2 hours in the cemetery, hey it dates back to the Civil War! Even as a child I loved abandoned buildings and would always make my Dad stop so I could explore and scare myself s***less. Also the History Channel used to have a week of "Haunted History" not sure if they still do.
Also, I have a thing for researching unexplained events, unknown causes of death, prison and the people inside, autopsies, conspiracy theories, organized crime, women and children who kill, and I have a guilty pleasure, reading the truTV case files (although I have cried reading a few, they are very detailed and it's truly horrific), and researching serial killers - I don't understand how the psychopath/sociopath mind works, but am fascinated that someone can be a person, but not have any feelings of guilt, remorse, heartache, kindness, sharing/giving of oneself just because someone needs you and you can help. I just can't imagine doing some of the things people do. I've always been very empathetic and conscientious; also I'm not a fighter, even though I know self-defense is okay, but I would much rather run or go somewhere no one else can fit LOL - I really don't want to hurt anyone, seriously. I feel bad for people, even if they are criminals. Maybe not for them, but I am sure there is someone in the world who loves them, I feel for the person that loves the criminal.
Sorry that was a bit long. Hope you don't think I'm a psycho, I just like to research pretty much everything.
