I do go on Dictionary.com (in fact, it's my life saver). I mean I don't like English Language as a subject at school, where I have to write short stories and essays in just one hour and answer a bunch of questions about random texts. I like English Literature, though, because those have classic texts, some that are really old. I love old stuff.
Okay, Meli (real name excluded for net safety, sorry guys this IS a public site ) in a nutshell (possibly):
Just past the mid-thirty mark, born and raised in a set of towns I hated in Kent, England, finally moved out in 2012 a year before Mr. C and I got married.
Grew up with books, music, arts and crafts and one very special brother at home (total of 6 siblings) - yes I was the odd, quiet kid at school who wanted to learn.
Mum taught me about art and crafts. Dad gave me my taste in music, go from the '60s onwards, but I temporarily lost interest in "current music" in the late '90s and '00s. He also allowed me to get really involved with our first computer (Atari STE), I got to do all of the research on add-on's and upgrades. And so the interest in all things techy was born...
These days I still love arts and crafts, though until joining the blog, these were mostly for other people and not just for fun. Still have a varied taste in music, still love cars, boats and trains (Dad dug his childhood railway set out when we were old enough). Was given the opportunity to go sailing as a thank you, didn't know anyone, couldn't swim, took the bull by the horns and said yes as 2 years prior I was reminded that you only live once, loved it and 7 years later I'm still going regularly.
Oh and I'm a bean-counter or so they tell me, but I see it as a bit of bean-counting and a load of IT related stuff, been at my current company 11 years. And I'm used to being told I'm in the wrong job, but though I may have other skills which are better, I'm not at a standard to earn enough to live on
Dude I thought I would ace Biology and it killed me. I think I mightn't have even passed. OTL With English Language I thought I'd fail and I did pretty all right??
I'm not actually going to do any exams in August, haha. I don't go to school so I can just have one set of exams a year. I'm lazy as hell when other kids work their bums off. XD
And how about you? Are you prepared for August?
Hello everybody, my name is Scott Green. I'm 34 and live in Worcester, Massachusetts with my fiancee and our two cats. She's disabled with chronic migraines, so I'm also her caregiver (which I'm able to get paid for, thankfully).
This is pretty stressful, so games are quite an escape for me. My favorite genres are RPGs and strategy. Apart from that, I spend a lot of time watching tv/movies/Youtube/etc., playing guitar (I'm in a couple of bands, chief among them Dreaded Silence (melodic/doom metal).
Lastly, I've had a lifelong struggle with mental health and weight problems, and I started to blog about my experience with bariatric surgery a couple of years back. The updates stalled a while back, but I'm hoping to get back to it soon. If it helps even one person get on the right track, that'll make the whole thing worth it to me.
Anyways, that's enough about me. Wonderful being here with such creative, welcoming people!
Hi there,
My name is Isaac, I am 18 years old, and I live in Arvada, Colorado. Where to start...
Well... I have been a gamer since I could remember, my first game was Star Fox 64. From Star Fox I moved on to other sci-fi titles like Star Wars Clone Wars, X-wing, and much more. I have never played an Elder Scrolls game outside of Skyrim, but it has really stuck with me, I have to have sunk in a thousand hours into this bloody game, wrote fanfiction, and drawn whatever seems interesting to me. Skyrim has brought me a lot. I've never been a particularly good gamer, but I do love them to death.
