Born in '95, One Gamer's Nostalgia.

The yellow aura

spiraled my night elf hunter avatar

as the DUN-DUMM

of false accommplishment

incited my addiction to

instant gratification.

 

I had just Leveled up.

 

The quest giver

gave me a choice

 

****** boots

Or

a less ****** Dagger

 

I took the ****** boots

because

**** the system

they looked cooler.

 

I was going to stomp cave spiders anyway,

what's the point of relinquishing

looking **** fine.

for an extra Attack Point?

 

****** Boots.

 

****** boots ALL Day long.

 

A naked human avatar

dances

facing a naked gnome

Named: "Buzz Lightyear"

He is Also dancing,

at crotch height.

 

This is Typical starting zone

foolery

 

I stayed up

watching Toonami all night

Naruto, Bleech, Inuyasha.

I could tell the sun came up

not because there was a window in my Kitchen,

there wasn't.

 

Tom and Jerry came on.

everyone knows

when Tom and Jerry came on

you were no longer pulling an

"all nighter."

You're pulling a

"Drink enough Soda

to get through the rest

of the day-er"

 

My entire diet

these past two days

has consisted of Gushers & Vault

because

Clearly Coca-Cola is superior

to Pepsi.

 

Therefore, Vault

was superior to Mountain Dew.

Which is the typical choice drink

of my internet brethren.

 

I don't know why I dyed my hair black nobody online could see it

But it made me feel

more

like my Night Elf Avatar

 

I wanted long white hair

I realized that's impossible

in 6th grade

So I Bought & Settled for Black

At least I could be like

"L" from death note,

Long sleeve white shirt, jeans

with no shoes.

 

I could also be

any other black-haired charecter

From any other angsty Anime

Because of course I loved angsty Anime

Because I held my cell phone like "L"

From Death Note.

 

I always dreamed

of this singing venus fly trap.

 

A Fuzzy Memory with a lost Origin

I realized seven years later

the Singing venus flytrap in my head

was AUDREY 2

from Little Shop Of Horrors.

 

Netflix reunited us in College

Audrey 2 finally Serenaded Me.

I listened with Voyeuristic Intentions

As memory saprilings grew

into the full songs

relieving the void in my soul

Lingering for a Man to be attacked

by a singing venus fly trap

in his own kitchen.

 

But only once,

Because I firmly beleived

movies should only be seen once

until I stopped

dyeing my hair black.

Despite watching Space jam

more times than any kid born in 1995 Should have

but still

all the kids born in 1995

watched space jam

more than any of them should have

because they were born in 1995.

 

Apparently

when I first saw little shop of horrors

it aired just before osmosis jones.

 

I love osmosis jones

almost as much as I love

Buzz lightyear, of Star Command

 

Buzz lightyears robot companion XR

reminded me of Cyberchase

and to this day Cyberchase

is the best show to watch

when you have no idea

who Gilbert Godfrey is.

 

Zoombinis is better

than oregon trail.

and also better

than Tom and Jerry.

but not better

than leveling my night elf Hunter.

Named:

"FEED ME A PIZZA!"

 

I think I spent more time

getting my Zoombinis

to look just right

then I Spent deciding

what outfit to wear

 

Routine

Black striped Hoodie

Unwashed and worn every day

Grey skulls all over it, because

of course it had grey skulls all over it.

Black pants.

Black socks

No actually, THESE black socks.

Okay, got gushers

and my Coca-Cola.

 

I now take as much time

to choose my outfit as

designing the perfect Zoombini.

however I have yet to replace

my legs

With

a skateboard.

 

I think that every grade before sixth grade is fourth grade

and 6th grade is basically 7th grade

which is to say my memory skips them both

to remember ending eighth grade

 

I miss being cool on the Internet

Whilst lame and forgotten in real life.

 

like black sock

wasn't quite as good

as that other Black sock.

 

I wanna go back.

To the seperation

Of who we pretend to be

Vs. who we actually are.

To be dramatic again.

incomparable.

 

An ideal self on the internet

Who is obviouslly not the real you

is decades more comforting

than Some Characatureized

Facebook Profile.

 

Today I was offered a choice

 

Work A minimum wage job

or

continue my useless college degree.

 

I decided to write a poem, because

**** the system.

If I am to Decide where to respawn from

Let it be poetry.

 

There is no spiraling Yellow aura

or DUN-DUMM

 

Sometimes there is snapping though.

Or a lost memory

of A singing venus Fly Trap.

 

I am a pretend person.

An avatar

just now, I have skin.

You can touch me

I breath without a Macro

or even pressing any keys.

 

I cannot bring myself to

Watch Space Jam again.

I can Identify Gilbert Godfrey's voice.

I will buy my children zoombinis

And it will collect dust

When all they want

Is to watch the fifth Toy Story movie

Way more than any kid born in 2020 should.

And all the kids born in 2020

Will Watch the fifth Toy Story Movie

Way more than they should

because they

will have been born

in 2020.

 

And I will rant

about the Missing LGM

and Warp Darkmatter

betraying Buzz Lightyear

By joining Evil Emperor Zurg

So Buzz was forced

to get three new Partners

Princess Mira Nova

Audrey 2

and Osmosis Jones.

because I will have Forgotten

Booster & XR.

Because Booster and XR

Never made a ********* Facebook Profile.

 

Nobody exists anymore.

We are all represented by our avatars

holding ourselfs up to the standards

of our photoshopped reflections

 

Being disappointed and overwhelmed

 

I Take pills to forget that I am

Acting Like myself

but can't find any evidence of Existing.

Besides these memories

of who i used to be.

 

I want my internet persona

to be nothing like me

So that I may focus on myself

in the real world coherently.

 

I want thick black lines

dividing mental Venn diagrams

 

I want Tom and Jerry

To signal me

That it is morning, again.
