I played Magic too, but like D&D, I quit because of lack of players in my area (although my son and I get the decks out once in a while to pla, but he's more a Yu-gi-oh fan than Magic).

Sounds just like me, except for a couple of things: I wasn't small (chubby and tall as more like it), Game of Thrones wasn't out that long ago, and it wasn't Romeo and Juliet I was reading/understanding (it was Lord of the Rings, 2 years before I was supposed to reqad it for class).
