The thing about emotions is they come across you in waves, and I do mean like the sea. There are the lapping waves that you can see coming and there’s a predictable regularity to them and then sometimes there’s a storm out deep at sea and it moves all the water around until the waves … Read More
I’m one day into a three day vampire game and struck by the same thing I always forget when it comes to Vampire. Vampire is not a horror game, it has some of the set dressing, sometimes its pitch crosses over but at base it is a political game, not a horror game. I’m playing … Read More
I went to see a musical for the first time in aaaaaaages. At a proper London theatre no less. It was fantastically staged – the queue led to the back of the theatre and it had been made up to look like the entry to a dodgy club – The Kit-Kat Club. We walked in … Read More
Spent last night in a bar encouraging certain roleplayers to abuse me in character, most of whom I had never met before. I was feeling very confident last night, apparently GermanLu talking about my vagina in a cocktail bar to total strangers feels weirdly like home. Sometimes I do become aware that I am a … Read More
I am in my happy place, one of them anyway, one that is a state of mind that I haven’t been in for a long time. I’m in a bar, surrounded by people who I know and I have had several conversations tonight about roleplay, talked tech with a guy and drunk a couple of … Read More

To be fair it’s not the diploma itself that’s the problem it’s the driving and staying overnight that’s a bit much. However, … Read More
At some point in Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex the Major talks about why she has a watch on her wrist, an analogue one at that. I have all sorts of things in this house that help me to remember, things that wrap me up in the people and experiences that I have had. … Read More
It’s CF’s birthday next week, and I’m going to go to London to celebrate it. I promised him a pie at some point but have no chance to make it, I may have time to make a cake or brownies or something. I thought about buying him a pie from Potts but to be honest … Read More
I am currently working through therapy in a trauma group. I’m desperately trying to process far too many emotions after really only opening them up last year. I’m unwell in some unspecified way and I’m pursuing diagnosis for mental health treatment on top of everything else. I am normally pretty chill about men’s physicality. A … Read More
