That being said I'm working on going swimming more, since it's the only real form of exercise that I properly enjoy. I went this afternoon and I'm going to try and organise myself into going before I work on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays each week. You know, if I can drag myself out of bed for 9ish. Sleeping has always been something of an issue for me, either I do too much of it or I don't do enough of it and it's probably all at the wrong times anyway, but that's just me.
So from January to September this year I was pretty heftily unemployed, which certainly had its perks, but it really didn't help with giving life structure and having a good getting up time and all that rubbish. I basically vegetated for a goodly while. Like I said, it has its perks, I could go where I wanted, when I wanted. I got a shed-load of writing done. I played a mountain load of Dawn Of War. I... yeah, I pretty much wasted eight months but I don't really regret it. It was kinda fun.
I was looking for work during that time, but not like I actually needed a job, I was looking more casually. Eventually I find my job at the card shop because I just saw the notice in the door one night and figured 'why not, I can sell cards'. Didn't know at the time that I'd actually be working for WH Smiths, but it has its advantages, there's a certain security working for a big company and at least I know I'm getting paid at the end of the month and there's all sorts of extra hours going.
So... that's my job side of things.
Gaming, that's the other side really.
My Tuesday group had a semi-collapse a couple of weeks ago when my brother and Tim basically just dropped out quite suddenly. I know that the game I was running had gotten stodgy and painful and stuck in a muddy corner that was going to be a pain to break out of, but we were so incredibly close to the end that I was kinda pissed off that we didn't get to finish it off. Especially since the end of that game would have informed the end of another one that we've been holding off for a while now.
My fault really.
So the Tuesday group are starting a new game, missing two and a half of our members (Alex says he can now only do every other week, which isn't very helpful). Andy has a number of games he wants to do and one of them struck me personally, which is an Wild West Hunter: The Vigil game. Seeing as how I bloody love Hunter: The Vigil but never get to play it (I'm too busy running it), I stuck my hand up for that one and I'm finally going to get to play a murderous preacher, which for some reason is an ambition of mine. We've also invited Dan3 to join us for that one.
Why Dan3? We have many Dans. Too many.
Checking out for now, Xan
