I get a headache when someone bashes me in the head. I scream in anguish at my computer screen when a friend that I was escorting dies. I cried when a brave Countess gave her life in defense of mine. I can smell the putrid stench of death as soon as I enter a Necromancer's lair. I can feel each blow on my chest that an Ogre lands. I feel a rush of power when I level up. I shed clothes when I'm hit by a Fireball, and put on warm socks when hit by a Frostball. I sometimes try to grab snacks from the kitchen with telekinesis, and then look for my Magicka bar to see if I'm out, or for signs of a Silence spell that has taken hold of me. I wonder why I live in a city where everyone is either Imperial, Breton, Redguard, or Nordic. I feel every uncut blade of grass that I walk by. I hear the clink of metal in my 500+ weighted bag of loot that I carry around in a void in my pocket in my pants. I learn things every time I train. I realize, suddenly, that the days go by so incredibly fast. I wish I had taken a bed for the night in the inn I just passed when it starts to rain on my head and the muddy road beneath my feet become too slick to keep my balance on. I soultrap kittens.

What? Oblivion's a game? I never knew that. After prayers in church, I yell "Praise the Nine" After someone beats me in a sport I scream "Die Fetcher!" and start swiping at them with the dagger I hide in my pants. I don't like to travel by airplane because they won't let me go anywhere with said dagger, and I'm afraid I might find an Imp on the airplane. When ever I pass the sixth house down the street, I attack the residents, thinking they're part of an evil cult. I'm frustrated because no one around my town will sell a Daedric Katana. Whenever I visit a town, my first question to a local is "Where's the nearest Mages Guild chapter?" I frequently here voices that say "Mournhold. City of Light. City of Magic." Whenever I find a dead body, I take off its clothes, hoping to find clues to help me advance in the "You stupid dumbass" quest my girlfriend gave me. Whenever I look in my journal, I see entries I didn't write, telling me to do stuff. I can be seen often just standing around for an hour, trying to replenish my fatigue bar. I also take ideas of other TR members and put my own spin on them.

I guess I need to change my lifestyle.

they are games!

yeah, so what if they are DEEP in detail. some of the game makers go overboard to make their games feel real. this does not ussualy work unless you have learned the art of soultraping kittens (like PoHa)

oblivion is not one of those games (unless you are PoHa)

I met an odd man known as skittles today, he was talking to a bunch of people about the undetailed world of ours, I think he was from the End Of Times cult or something. I should investigate Mournhold to find out more about Skittles.

I used to do this thing where like if I'd stub my toe or bash my head on something by accident, I'd yell "MY HITPOINTS!". Then my friend told me I killed it after the third time so I stopped.

The farthest I get is 'partial suspension of disbelief'.
