  • wearing a jacket even in 80°F weather
  • obsessing over female D&D characters

Same and same. I still do both lol.

I never could put into words why I always made female characters in RPGs. I didn't have the right words, so as a kid I went with the "I'd rather stare at a woman than a man" excuse.

When I say obsessed, I mean obsessed. I spent way too much time thinking about their lives and their history especially when compared to how much thought I put into myself. It played into my daydreams and fantasies.
