I was wrong, I do know. It suck in — of course it's batman.
But winding up with Elastigirl would be pretty great, so I suppose I might reconsider....

Thinking about it, the biggest thing is that sometimes, some games, your (village) game is somehow off — a combination of lazy and angry, almost. The really villagery chimp approach is great, but when it isn't there you antagonize people and don't get clear — in part because that looks like your wolf game.
I can't point to any specific examples, unfortunately, but I know that's how it feels to me.

i'll think about the aspirations stuff a bit and get back to this thread later
In LOTR it took me a long time to work out that you were village, and I can't remember why — but I mean a long time as in ten days. OF course I was in paranoid mode, in part because of the masonry, so that might be part of it. I think your judgtement was fine. I have to look back, though. Remind me in a bit — I do intend to do these right.

I suck at movies.
Key Largo and
The Maltese Falcon are all that come to mind; I prefer the former.
I don't know which is environmentally sounder (yeah, I know about renewable versus non-renewable resources, but paper production is really nasty), so I go with the ones that are easier to carry (plastic). I do have a few cloth bags, which I keep in the trunk so I usually have them, but it's not like I never waste stuff. It's hard to be perfect, or even good, sometimes.

And I pretty quickly was hooked on the puzzle aspect of identifying them, and later of finding them. And that, mostly the finding, continued off and on for many years (much less now). I made lists, because I like records. I have lsist of what I've seen and heard in every state and province, and every country I've been to since I started (so no South America, except fort Trinidad and Tobago). My spreadsheet has thousands of records. (I kept it up to date until Australia, when the data entry was just too much, as I had stopped caring quite enough to do it.)
It's gotten me places I'd never have gone; it taught me things I'd never have known. It got me to go to nature camp when I was a kid (ages 11-17), which had various salutary effects, including social ones. (I may never have lost my virginity, or at least not until well into college, had it not been for camp...)
Also, birds are accessible, and nearly omnipresent. Because they can fly they don't need to hide — there are lots of species of rodents, but you meet very few mousewatchers because they're simply not visible. They're colorful and interesting and one can identify most of the 9000 or so species in the field. One can hunt out rarities, or just notice what's there. Even when I'm absolutely not "birding", I cannot help but notice and identify what flies by, and something's always flying by.
