I was a total dweeb. Every so often now I still get things I said or did come into my head unbidden and I end up head in hands trying not to scream "nooooooOOO" in the middle of the street.


I get the odd cringe moment when remembering some silly thing I said or did. The first year of secondary education, year 7, was tough for me. I wasn't socially ready for it, coming from a small catholic school. Year 8 wasn't great, but better. Year 9 and beyond was great, once I got the hang of being social. Got so good at it I could wake up each day, and decide which group I felt like hanging around with. I learnt the hard way, mind.

Prison Architect is fun, but I keep restarting. Every time I build an expansion for the prison I hadn't yet encountered, my lovely rectangular prison gets sticky-outy bits and I have to restart so I can plan around it.

I bought the Scholarship Edition of Bully today, because it was, like, 3 dollars. Too bad I can't play it, because my computer's broken (as you know), but at least I have the Playstation Network version.

It's been broken for the last 7 months, and no, I'm not buying a Mac, because they're terrible for playing games.

I went through a stage of pretending to be very dark and mysterious and believing that the fate of the world depended on small instances in my everyday life. OCD meets fantasy with a side dose of evil laughing and self-imposed isolationism. I was at the absolute bottom of my year group's social hierarchy as a result, and to be honest I can't really blame them -_-'
Furthermore, I consider that feminism must be destroyed.
