So much ground to cover. Where to start. So much to tell. My Mum and sister left just before Christmas.

Christmas was interesting (and busy), New Years was fun (and busy), the few weeks following that where just well...busy. I went to Games Design Expo a week or so after, and well, I'm not going to be back in england any time soon. Long story.

So heres that blogpost that has been sitting on my computer for over a week.My family arrived last Wednesday (the 6th) , I managed to get off work in time to book it down to the airport in time to meet them fresh off the plane. Which was nice, not to tough of a journey either (about 45 minutes on the bus). Both my mother and sister where pretty disorientated and tired.

For conditions for this post. About a fortnight ago, my adorable lady friend, Shana, expressed some intrest in playing the online game FFXI. Since I used to play, I said I would return to my old account so she could test play on it and I could play with her once I had either bought an additional copy or returnedTitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06726408981781570702noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21413002.post-4435002677809798282006-11-19T20:00:00.000-08:002006-11-19T20:08:13.133-08:00I hung out with Shana over the weekend, and compleatly failed to get FFXI working for her. I did however start playing FFXII, Balthier is my hero. Gaming friends (Matt, Adam and Peter) came and hung out on Saturday and we played Soul Calibur.More details to follow, I have a gig to be at.Titchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06726408981781570702noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21413002.post-15779402634864788712006-11-12T13:09:00.000-08:002006-11-12T13:24:22.931-08:00So last night we went to a party at Monica's place. I say "we" because after some convincing from the combined forces of me and her mother, Shanan was brought around to the idea of hanging out for half an hour with me. She hates parties, mostly because she doesn't know about the cool ones. Luckily I do. We spent about 3 hours there in the end, I managed to drop my contact details with some Titchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06726408981781570702noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21413002.post-70848066689367153782006-11-11T15:17:00.001-08:002006-11-11T15:19:31.005-08:00Apparently, blogger has been eaten by google.

I was going to write about it after but was just too tired and icky from my cold. I got 80% and needed 85%, lost a handfull of marks on stupid things and a big portion on something nobody had told me was important on the test (suprise suprise).

It's been tipping it down for the past 2-3 days. On my cycle home from Commercial Drive skytrain station, after coming back from my movie date with Shana; I was unlucky enough to not notice the 1/2 foot deep stretch of water pooling where one of the side roads dipped down rather than up.

Two Halloween gigs and a birthday party. The former of which I'm invited "plus one" although I have yet to find somone who wants to go.

Exactly how retarded do you have to be to think that it's ok to lay hands on a cyclist whilst they are moving at two time running speed?

I'm NOT dead. I do have a girl who won't look confused/hatefull/angry for reffering to her as "my girlfriend" though; although this has less to do with my lack of blog posting than some people seem to think.

I worked for 7 days, went to the PNE on my day off (busy, crowds, lots of walking around...) and then worked for another 6 days. I feel pretty dead now. I also missed work one morning because my ex-manager wrote me in to work on a day when I said "maybey" as opposed to "yes, of course...".So, let me think, I've agreed to take my level 2 test at work.
