and that’s fine, but some people like to play as the bad guy, it doesn’t mean theyre bad people. Actors usually love the role of the villain because it tends to be more interesting.

I’m not a fan of it either, and I wouldn’t tell anyone to like those shows, but clearly they are profitable and shows don’t have to be for everyone. I don’t watch porn but I dont condemn people for making it.

Trick to not ghosting:

you gotta dream big, ya know?

my dream video game is set in the city I live in. I go find my apartment. Wow, it’s there. It even has a door...this is odd; why would they have a door to a random apartment complex? I go up the stairs and find my number, 1....b. There it is. It says X to enter. This is crazy, the inside even looks the same. I press…

I’ve lived in more than one place

IS MY APARTMENT IN THE GAME??? I was disappointed GTA4 didn’t have my apt. in it.
