Closer? Yeah, it will be closer... by about 100 meters. Hardly a noticeable distance. If we have to be precise, I go by bus, so my new home is actually closer to the bus stop.

I know what you mean - I was a passionate gamer by the age of 10 as well. However, I spent my summers at my grandma's place, and she had no computer or anything even close (back in those days TV sucked, so it wasn't an alternative). The best thing I could do to avoid death by boredom was to go wild outside... and back then, the neighborhood was an amazing place, full of old houses (secret lairs), mysterious basements (dungeons), concealed places (hideouts) and other cool things that every kid could enjoy. The place had a lot of spirit and was perfect for a kid with a vivid imagination, such as myself.

Yeah, my grandma often grumbled about me getting dirty, but she was also aware that nothing could really stop me.

One of the things about being the "weird kid" is that everyone remembers you for years to come, while I completely forget people. So I often meet complete strangers who greet me, as if we are best friends. I smile and return the greeting... but in my mind I wonder "Who the Hell are you?"
