Continuing the story of <a href="http://mattgemmell.com/index.php/university/irc/the_gathering_of_the_7.html">The 7</a>, we were discussing our respective weaknesses 
and/or nemeses, and got to mine.

Matt:	this is tricky
Matt:	because it's almost impossible to come up with one myself
Matt:	by my very nature
Derek:	being egotistical and all
Matt:	it's what i do
Derek:	hmmm
Matt:	ok, I've realised what mine is
Matt:	it's a classic
Matt:	and will lead to a spectacular CG-o-rama battle too
Derek:	hurrah
Matt:	it's the eternal nemesis of those who know they are truly ace
Matt:	it is, simply,
Matt:	Matt Gemmell.
Matt:	in the final days of this age of man, I'm going to come face to face with Dark Matt.
Matt:	sufficient ego will actually physically manifest.
Matt:	the self-destructive imp within
Matt:	the ugly monster-in-the-closet so coyly veiled by Peter Pan's shadow becoming detached
Matt:	the foundation of every father-vs-son or brother-vs-brother epic battle in all the annals of history and fiction
Matt:	and indeed featured in the Water Temple stage of Ocarina of Time.
Matt:	they say that a man can be his own worst enemy
Matt:	but this time,
Matt:	that'll literally be true.
Derek:	how will you defeat yourself?
Matt:	were this a hollywood-style movie scenario
Matt:	and indeed, it is;
Matt:	then the battle would be long and spectacular
Matt:	until finally I'd realise that only that worst of things could lead to triumph:
Matt:	humility
Matt:	I would put down my weapon and concede
Matt:	the dark manifestation of my ego would momentarily feel triumph,
Matt:	but upon seeing its own image (me) "giving up",
Matt:	would literally self-destruct in self-loathing and disgust.
Matt:	and I would once again rock the damn house.
Matt:	you've got to admit, it would play.
Derek:	danm, that's excellent
Derek:	well, indeed
Matt:	and has endless sequel-potential.
