Hi all - hi new people who found me <3
I used to work in games. I still love them. But on the side, I dabble in anything arty - my main love is photography though :)

I was so nervous about the #Warcraft30 event and it went so fast that I wished I could do it all over again :(
Many thanks to those of you that gave me hugs - I have missed you all so much <3
Look at the monster amount of loot I came back with - struggled home with this on six trains! :D

I appreciate the inclusion of the accessibility features in the Q&A article. Doesn't go into detail as the published Spotlight, but it helps normalize talking about them as core part of the game and people's interest.

Going to the Warcraft 30th Anniversary event next Saturday and have found out there's no trains home on the 22nd!
Thankfully, my friend who I'm going with is going to let me crash at hers and then because I have an open return, I can just head back the next day.

How do my evenings get to 10pm and I feel like I want to do something with the time...yet there's an hour before I go to bed?
Every single fucking night.
Last night I couldn't be bothered so went to bed at 10.30pm.
I'm kinda thinking the same tonight :/

Oh and remember the novel I was writing? Yeah, that's been put on the backburner as dragging up memories has been exhausting.
So now I'm writing a thriller, which is also gripping and dark with a small amount of sex thrown in. As you do. I've never wrote anything like this before but it's ok.

Hiya.
Still around.
I'm slowly getting back to being me but I'm honestly struggling with doing too much at once. I was doing too much and now I'm barely doing anything.
In Talvi-shaped news though, I am now a Beaver Scout leader :)

Fuck it. I’m taking the iPad to bed and I’m going to watch more Bones until I fall asleep.
Can’t say I didn’t try.

I spent all day starting at my computer, then spent the evening with 6yr olds.
To say my brain is cooked is an understatement.
It’s only 10.30pm though, feels way too early to go to bed :(

This time of year is never good for me and over the years I've tried my hardest to make it more happy but this year the pain is sharply felt.
I'm told time and again to not blame myself for the past but every time the holiday season comes around - I realise it is supposed to be spent with family.

Ironic that on the opening of the new Wicked film, the proverbial house also fell on me too.
Does this mean I'm now the Wicked Witch of the West?
I understand this post is cryptic and if you know, you know. But like everything else that has beaten me down, I'll come back stronger.
