A few guys convinced me to buy WoW, abandoning me literally a day after I got it and started my toon. One of my friends (among those who convinced me) came over to my a place and built my character 'for me'. It was utter bullshit and I don't really speak with him anymore, not because of this mind you, mostly because he's an ignorant, egotistical, stubborn ass-dick.
On a more serious note, when I was 9-10ish I walked downstairs only to see the dog - a gigantic white fluffy Kuvasz - dead, stiff as a board, in the family room at the foot of the stairs. He was the first dog I ever had and I loved him to death, we'd had him since both me and my brother were born, making the dog 12ish .Even now I still have dreams where he is being taken from me and I wake up with tear stains on my face, and I rarely ever cry.
My freshman year of high school, one of my closest and oldest friends commit suicide. When I came to school that day I had heard he was on life suport and my heart nearly stopped when I heard what had happened. A few hours later, my teacher got an email saying he'd passed and she stood in the front of the class and cried, everyone else cried but me, which is what shocked me the most. The lack of emotion I showed still concerns me today, that whole time I wanted to be sad but for some reason I couldn't find any tears to cry or things to think about, but I was utterly devoid of any life for the couple of weeks. I do find myself thinking a lot deeper after this event though, pondering over things a lot harder than most.
To end lightly, the fact that I'm too much of a ***** to go up and talk to some girl who, granted, I don't know and only see in the passing periods at school, but am head-over-heels for anyway. :/ Makes it hard to sleep sometimes, which I find both creepy and concerning.
