Me: But yeah, anyway, that new Minecraft world me and my friends set up was pretty awesome.
Friend: Ugh
Me: What?
Friend: Minecraft. My boyfriend is always playing fucking Minecraft.
Me: That doesn’t sound so bad.
Friend: And when he’s not playing Minecraft, he’s playing Overwatch. Or Fortnite. Or some other thing.
Me, actively playing Pokemon GO and not making eye contact: Ah, yeah, I generally only play one game at a time otherwise I have this habit of letting them consume my life
Friend: It gets really frustrating because he never goes out and does anything interesting.
Me: You know, that’s part of why I force myself to adhere to a daily posting schedule on my blog. Sure, funny stuff happens to me at the library every day, but I can’t tell only library stories. I have to mix it up, go out into the world, see some shit, talk to weirdos.
Friend: Get those stories
Me: Exactly! Minecraft is fun and all but it’s not going to give me life and substance- that type of thing is for unwinding after work or stress or whatever. Not a way to live.
Friend: Did you post a story today?
Me: Ehhhhh
Me: No
Friend: Because you were playing Minecraft?
Me: Well-
Friend: Are you gonna write a story about me?
Me: MAYBE
