Wednesdays are one of my favourite days. I’ve mentioned this before, but today Work was tiring and the relaxation of eating chicken whilst killing zombies with MiL was very appreciated. Three days since my birthday and the world has moved on to other games and circumstances. The Jellicle spent the evening testing out a virtual … Read More
GN est mon passe-temps principal. Pour moi, c’est une forme d’art valable, c’est peut-être la version amateur du jeu professionnel. Peut-etre non. De tout facon. L’année dernière, j’étais inquiet de ne pas avoir la capacité de jouer de grandes émotions. Pour mon anniversaire cette année, j’ai commandé un LARP de ‘The Abandoned Story’, le nom … Read More
Generally speaking I’m quite a content person. I suffer from Depression and have a cynical inner voice who I find very funny. Sometimes, and I suspect it is because my default is to be happy, I’m criticised for looking after my own physical and mental health rather than bending over backwards to help others with … Read More

I could hear her and her inner musician roll her eyes over the phone. My Mum likes my friends with ‘Edge’, to say she likes my Depressed, Suicidal … Read More
Yesterday I fucked up in a way I haven’t for years. Communication via text is always problematic for me but yesterday was completely and utterly spectacular on my part. Having anticipated a difficult conversation I suddenly found myself misunderstood by two people I assumed wouldn’t misunderstand me. The conversation went completely backwards to my expectations … Read More
I loved turning thirty. I found that I finally had a sense of being an adult whilst feeling capable. Right now, I feel old, it’s not so much the numbers on the cards it’s more the being ill. I’m tired all the time and I ache and simple things are really hard. I feel old … Read More
For the last two years I don’t think it’s too far off for me to stay I’ve been driven mad by stress. The Interupter, Bilbo, DS Luke et al can attest to the fact that I’ve had honest to gods hallucinations due to my insomnia. (Nothing too fantastical just movements out of the corner of … Read More
