You know, i've been messing around with this visual novel of late. It's called "Family Project", and it's a very heartfelt story of a group of penniless, homeless people coming together and living under a house and masquerading as a faux family in an attempt to find some mutual support in their lives and start anew.
Anyway, i really think that the main character (the one you control and who has no voice-over) is a lot like me. Well, i don't have the stomach and the desire to shout at people, get into fights, and apologise and make up like he does. I also have better savings than he does.
But still, we are really alike in certain ways. Like him, i'm a loner. I don't openly desire a completely independent life like he does, but maybe because of that loner personality, we share similar traits. For example, we both prefer not to owe anyone anything and we prefer it if no one owes us anything (although i tend to use the latter to offset the former). Which is why i'm really troubled by the fact that i still owe JY lunch. :| And i return favours very quickly, rinse cups that i used late at night, and refuse extra cash from my parents. I'm also pretty generous too. People tend to think of me as a nice guy because of this (and the same goes for the guy in the game), but admittedly it sounds like quite a ego issue, seen in this light. It's like i don't want to have to say "sorry" or "thank you".
Also, we both don't mind going for outings, but we never organise one ourselves unless it is deemed necessary (say, because if we don't then we would owe someone). We might make friends quickly, but we also lose friends fast because we never keep up with these friends via telephone, email, facebook, messenger, or whatever. We hate it whenever there's a misunderstanding of what we did and why we did it, whether it's a misunderstanding that gives us more credit or less. We both have put in effort to know enough life-skills to live on our own: cooking, my driving, etc. If we need help in anything, we never ask for it. We're both also not too ambitious with work, hate too much commitment, and we need that certain amount of "me" time everyday.
So yeah, we're such loners. Okay, it's nearly 3am and i have school tomorrow at 9.30am. Time to sleep!
