There was a period when i didn't see anyone for 6 months. It was a mix of many things. First it was from Fall to Spring and winter is less "fun" to get to the city, but i also had a mixture of being tired of the travel itself, like making preparation, being away from home for 2 days (im not a traveller... never did, im not sure how i would feel in a proper vacation like 1 or 2 weeks) and for the first time ever i was "less craving" the need to meet someone in the first place. This is also the time where i got into video game "collecting" as in really building back my library and i spent a lot of money in this and movies. Im not a rich guy so i can't do multiple hobbies at the same time.
Funny enough recently i sold some of my most expensive games (they were PS1 games) as i had them digitally anyway (on PS3 as part of the old classic line up) and didn't felt the need to "hold a physical version" anymore. Im still crossing finger they will get a rerelease on PS4/5 like some did (Tomb Raider 1 to 6 for instance did not long ago, but these were cheap games on PS1). I guess i just realized that holding on to a game for display only was pointless... and its not games i was a mega fan like i am for instance of Resident Evil classics. Anyway not to extend on that but basically on these specific games i made a pretty decent profit. Got 450$ out of maybe 3 very expensive games, 2 of average price (30 to 40$) and a couple throw away cheap games i already beaten or tried and just had no interest to ever replay.
Lately i been less into gaming in general tough. I mean i still game but less hours a day, and i buy a lot less than i used to cause my backlog just keep growing faster than i can decrease it by playing the games.
As for movies, video stores are now defunct and i got most movies i wanted from the past (only miss a few). And not to be one of those guys but in recent times very few movies got to me in a way of "i need to buy it so badly". Ballerina will probably be one of the few as im a huge fan of John Wick (can't wait to see this soon) but basically even movies i enjoyed i won't spend 15-20$ on them. Ill wait if i can find them for under 5$ but for this it must be in like 7-8 years lol.
Bottom line right now, not only i can put more on the hobby but i also crave it more. There is many names right now on my "primary list" lol. So i decided i will try to see as many as i can this summer and fall then maybe take a small break in winter and use the money to feed my CC debt (as long as it does not up right now, im cool with it).
So far comiccon seem very mid too (but this could change, they could add names that i really want to see in June). Im definately taking photo ops + autograph with Michael Jai White as i really enjoy this guy martial arts movies, but the rest is really still on a "undecided" status. So depending on how much Comiccon cost, i may see 1 more person this July lol.
All of this to say everything comes in waves with me. Its ok to feel "jaded" for a little while, then usually things got back. Like video games right now for me, im sure in a few months or maybe a year i will crave it a lot more and get back more into it especially when new Gears of War release (well its a remaster but its one of my fav and my friends already said they will be back so should be fun).
I got to add that women for me are strickly SPs. I don't have real life relationships with women outside friendships, so its not like i can say "oh its cool im having some fun with girls in norrmal lives, i don't need SPs right now"

Contrary to most of the members here, the fact that you have to travel to Montreal is an important thing to consider. It puts a physical barrier between you and the act, keeps it "special", somewhat of an event. To make a parallel, we know from the field of addiction that ease of access (to a substance) is one of the major factor that perpetuates addiction. The same applies to sex addiction, which in my understanding, is what underlies the feeling of being "jaded".
Fuck Merbs who live in Griffintown must be screwed, no pun intended. You can't go a floor in any condo without a SP apartment.
