HOW!!! Did she peg River Song?!

She read absolutely everything about Song in seconds!

Song in seconds!

As if.

Loving watching D-Who with a relative unbeliever! It’s like watching THE Timelord alongside an eccentric storylover!

You’d think given how in the past I’ve had a penchant for blogging over absolutely nothing, even rambling for paragraphs and passages near endless, that I’d jump on the opportunity to talk about something real.

It turns out no - I’d ignore it and just dwell mentally instead.

It’s not a huge surprise to me, I’m withdrawn and secretive about ‘real’ things yet suffer from verbal diarrhea when it comes to anything of little to no consequence. See if I think ‘oh wow the window is open’ then I must announce said thought immediately. If I think ‘my parents divorce is making me question my life’ then I’ll bottle that shit up until it overflows.

Just a supes quick update as to why the lack of updates - have gone on a Saturdays-only-drinking regime. Since the vast majority of my updates are alcohol fueled expect a decrease in post quantity and a dramatic upsurge in post quality (just kidding I’m a high-functioning/literate drunk).

I want to play Ocarina of Time on my 3DS but I’m afraid if I do that the shop will close again. I don’t want to go yet but yesterday I turned it on an hour before the shop closed and when I looked up it was 1am and the shop had been closed for two hours.

Last Autumn I stopped organising weekends. I’ve always been an organiser for my social group (whatever one I happen to belong to at the time) and I’ve almost always arranged the weekend plans/let everyone know. Last Autumn during/after my severe depression stint I stopped doing so and I never started up again because so many people I know left Leicester. Nowadays I rarely get invited to anything and when I do people are complete no-shows and give me half-messages all night or ignore me for hours before finally telling me the plan has changed BUT FAILING TO TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE. I needed warning so I could start drinking. I don’t like binge-drinking in order to catchup. Now I’m in too sober/bad a mood to do anything about it, going to just play computer games all night. Stuck indoors on a weekend. My own personal hell. May go get some ice cream and be a fat-ass to cheer myself up.

I’ve been playing a lot of NWN2 lately and have been working on a DnD 3.5e PnP campaign idea/Game of Thrones conversion to play. Initial attempts to sway someone to join in with the latter failed but I’m still having a lot of fun with NWN2 - I’m in a stat-and-build-mood lately.

I’m playing a six man team based on ‘The Order of the Stick’ which requires a lot of character swapping and pausing to facilitate intelligent combat. Due to four of the six members of the team being melee-based if I don’t individually control them they will just run at enemies and attempt to bludgeon/stab them until they stop enemy’ing. For the most part it works.

When it doesn’t work however is the more difficult/lengthy fights - then is when I finally get to bring the spellcasters in to the foray, namely the wizard. Spellcasters are just much more enjoyable to play - take this example encounter for… example.

I am completely incapacitated today - although I’m mobile and lucid. I’m incapacitated because I’m bowel-tethered to my toilet today whilst I experience the most firey of hangover shits that I’ve had in recent memory.

Probably not helped by the copious amounts of cheese and beef I had yesterday.

Hungover because the last fortnight (a time period my significant other has been referring to as my ‘birthday week’ despite the length) we’ve been drinking in the flat almost every single night. The amount of wine and rum we’ve (me and my girlfriend Hannah) barreled through in this fortnight has been staggering. We should have suffered serious liver damage by now. My wallet has certainly suffered that’s for sure!
