Self-esteem.
Oh, I've had a bit of dream last night that was so meaningful, in a wicked but amusing sort of way.
I was reading the manual for a tabletop RPG; its setting was in the real world, and it dealt with events that I had personally taken part in, IRL.
Which meant that I had a spot in that RPG as a non-playing character, with a few paragraphs describing me. Which is very cool in itself; up until the moment you begin to read the text in question:
"[My RL name] is a tall, ugly engineer..."
... Right.
I can see with damn good precision why I'd be having major second thoughts about my attractiveness lately, but, sheesh... Thank you, brain. Couldn't you have thought up stuff about dragons or gryphons, like normal? :P
