So since it has been so long since I was properly active on these boards, what's everyone up to these days?
Things are mostly the same with me, still with Niall, still playing too many MMOs and failing to finish most singleplayer games I start. Still working at a communications company for shit pay and not really enjoying it. Though having said that I've been on sick leave for 7 months (developed a rare disease called Cushing's Disease - no point having a common one!) and have surgery next month hopefully which will mean staying off work for a while to recover. Planning on getting out of there when I'm better but not really sure what I want to get into instead. It was getting stressful as I was the only one in my department that anyone ever came to with questions so I was overrun but they've had a new system in since I've been off so when I go back I get to be the dumb newbie for a while. I do have an online store selling nail polish but that isn't exactly raking in the money so can't live off that unfortunately. Still reading a lot as well, mostly fantasy and still geeking out when possible going to Discworld conventions. I keep intending to get back into drawing and painting but keep putting it off. I was back into walking, yoga and aerobics too but can't do that with my illness. Oh and of course like so many British people trying and failing miserably to understand wtf is going on with Brexit and what it's going to mean for us.
Gaming wise as I say I'm still on a few MMOs, keep bouncing back and forth on them. Guild Wars 2 failed to keep me very interested, same with Elder Scrolls Online. I keep bouncing back to WoW, Ultima Online, Realm Reborn and one called Istaria where you can play a dragon. Single player I've been totally obsessed with Red Dead Redemption 2 since it was released and am doing "replays" (i.e. might finish them one day) of Baldur's Gate and Final Fantasy 7. I've started but not finished (surprise) The Witcher 3 though that was mainly due to my save game being lost and Dragon Age Inquisition which was because The Witcher 3 came out and was just a better game overall.
Nearly forgot! We have a couple of pet rodents now called degus. They're utterly bonkers, very intelligent but in the way intelligent people are. In other words they can learn things but are generally stupid when it comes to common sense. Not many people have heard of them, they come from Chile and have huge personalities. I think they're illegal through a lot of the US and aren't very common over here in the UK though Germany seems to have tons of them and leads the way in breeding new colours. They're called Scrat and Diego and we've had them 3.5 years now. They can live 6 - 8 years on average which is why I chose them over mice or rats and can even get into double figures.
That probably covers most of it at the moment, can't do a lot bar reading and gaming right now so it's not a thrilling life to update on! I am still annoying Ox via email though, got to keep up the old practices.

I feel a pet thread is needed. Will start one when I can be bothered.
Got me two Corgi mixes still. Love the little fuckers. Unconditional love is amazing.
