Oh, I remember being younger, maybe 10 and finding my parents math books from when they were 16.

That's the day I learned about negative numbers. I felt so smart that day. Like the whole world was open in front of me, for me to do what I wished with. I felt powerful. Because I had power. Knowledge is power and I now knew something that people my age didn't. I knew about something that I could explain, and they couldn't.

When I was older I read that book again. I read a section about computers, written when computers were new and exiting. That's when I realized that I could get a computer to do anything I wanted. ANYTHING.

Today it is a matter of pride that I can mod The Sims myself. If I want my sims to lead horrible destructive lives with teenage pregnancy they will. Because I am their god. I AM THEIR GOD!

Eh... Haha... Didn't mean that...
