How High. from Jonathan Roulston on Vimeo.

I can’t articulate right now.  But they’re not, but they are.  Arrgh, it’s hard to explain.

I can’t write.  I don’t want to write, here’s some pretty pictures I took a couple of weeks ago instead.

That’s my sister, we went on a little photowalk around Dundee for her course.  I miss going on photowalks a lot.

I haven’t shot in a while, I feel that fact.  But it’s nice ot have the camera in hand again.

Ok, this isn’t exactly ‘pretty’ but sends an important message.  I live right outside an AA.  It’s not bread in that brown bag.  This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this.  There is only so much you can take before the people think you can’t overrun the substance - I speak from knowledge and experience.  There’s a point where stories don’t matter.

I’m sorry.  It’s been a bad Monday and I won’t go into details.  I’ll see you tomorrow.

Debating with my subconcious.  We’re not sure who’s won yet.

45. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up today?

No lie, it was this comic.

I don’t often get pain when I wake up.  I have on once in a while woken up in the morning with an excruciating headache, but never anything like this.  Hopefully I’ll never going to sleep on my side again.

Why?  I get pins and needles. Well, that’s techincally what it is.  I like to just call it pure pain.  Imagine restricted blood flow in you calf for hours, and any movement makes it ache like hell.  It happened for the second time today, and I thought I had torn something.  It was AWFUL.  It hurt like hell, and since I didn’t inherently feel pins or needles, I sat there thinking what the hell it was.  I almost called for help until I got up and felt the blood going through my feet when I stood up.

It’s still tingly, and I’ve been up for hours. Something tells me if I didn’t get up I’d  be worse off (see without a leg), but sheesh, it’s annoying.

I’m going to go keep my weight off of it, sit up as much as possible, and see you tomorrow.  I’ve trying to cope with an all nighter last night thanks to a project or two that was due in today. Later freaks!

See you tomorrow!

I’ve never went to a midnight release. I’ve never queue in a line for a game.  It’s cold outside too.  I hate cold.  I even, for a second, debated getting the collector’s edition of this game.

Sheesh, obsessed a little?

Last month I was, it was true.  I was playing with a friend constantly for over two weeks from 10pm to 5am each day.  Then one day, he disappeared off the face of Azeroth and I had to go solo from then on there (I fear girlfriend intervention).  I’d levelled up with him so quickly and was so used to him being there I was still sorting out the ins and outs of my character.  Only now I’m learning how to use him for his full potential since I’d never played solo with him all the way up to my current level.

Yes, I’m playing Warcraft.  Why wouldn’t I?  1. I’m a geek. 2. I like to play games.

See the excitement in these character’s faces?  No, well they’re excited… they’re just like me, they bottle it up until the penultimate minute.  And without further adieu… SQUEE!!!!  Right, I’ve got to get ready and meet up with Sofi, ShimmerGeek and Devidose tonight.  Adios Internet!

That’s easy.  In the Ionian Sea (Greece), swimming nearby a boat.  Bliss.  I love the water.

I’ve been meaning to do this for ages and I’m glad someone’s noticed.  Who wants to be sane?

I would like to thank with the utmost gratitude the great Scriber’s Web for being very nice and giving me an award!  Sure, it’s virtual. Sure, it’s not something I can touch or one of those medals fat kids get at the sports events made of chocolate - but it doesn’t mean anything less.  Yippee!

I would like to thank my family, myself, my computer for staying alive during the bad times, my returning amazing readers and… *ahem* right, no need for an acceptance speech.

Part of accepting this award is:

• Displaying th award.
• Linking back to the person who gave it to you.
• Paying it forward & nominating 7 blogs.
• Leaving comments on their blogs telling them they’ve received one.
• Enjoying the award.

So, let’s see… Who shall I choose the ultimate reward too?

Arrgh.. It’s hard!  Just to put things into perspective - I read a lot of blogs.  Too many even.  Each and every morning I wake up to over a hundred feeds… Some are simple feeds that take a second to read and others I take a lot of time to read, comment and digest whenever possible.

Just because you’re not on this list doesn’t mean I don’t love your blog… but I may mean I love it so much I spared it from tagging harm!  Think about that!

I tag… I’ll do it tomorrow.
