Welcome to another monthly chat topic. This is where everyone gets the chance to talk about anything and everything in their lives that might happen to be important, work/school/university, games and what your playing, films, books, random annoyences or triumphs all that sort of thing.
Of course, only a privilidged few get to start one of these balls rolling on the first day of each month, and by few I mean one, and by one I mean me, and by privilidged I also mean me!
It's a dirty job, well actually it isn't it's lots of fun, and that's why I don't let anyone else do it .
Seriously, as people will gather I've been off the forum recently due to the continuingly wonderful circumstance of living with the future mrs. dark. In case anyone else ran into her, her name is Leslie, she was at one point Bell-song on the Zone, and Talia on Klango, though hasn't been on either place for a while. We'll hopefully be fixing her e-mail address this week, so she might well end up with a forum account although we've had lots of stuff to sort.
The immigration system still prooves fun. We plan to have two weddings, one hear in Britain, one in the states, but at which the actual formal signing of the mariage license happense we don't know yet sinse it depends upon lots of annoying bills and other stuff. Mostly we've been doing lots of things connected with living together, most of which are nice but some of which are rather hard work, eg, getting all Leslie's possessions room in my flat etc. We've also been doing lots of things together. Sinse Leslie needed a new phone I've fixed her an Iphone 6 with a new contract, and we've been going through the looktell vo tutorial to get the basics, actually there's more of that than I thought there was. We'll also probably be playing some games at some point, (she rather enjoyed the adventure game part of the tutorial), although games are just one advantage of an Iphone.
Another fun thing we've been doing is listening to the bbc version of lotr together and comparing differences. My lady mostly knows the American one so it's an interesting experience for her, and for me. it was a toss up which one we heard first, but the bbc won the toss so we'll probably be doing the American minds eye one in the future. I've also introduced Leslie to the awesomeness of blackadder.
So, lots of good stuff going on over hear at the moment, if on occasions quite some work, I'm just amazed to have found this. I do however hope I'll be around the forum at least some of the time, both to help and because there are definitely some games I fancy trying (griff looks good, and I want to continue with six dragons, not to mention try out the life line games).
I hope everyone else is having a good time, and that disasters are at a minimum, (I was extremely sorry to hear about Nocturnus nastiness in the other thread).
I heard Aprone is okay, albeit rather snowed under himself, likewise on the audeasy list we've had a couple of messages from Tom Ward who's apparently out of surgery but feeling distinctly ill. Hopefully he'll make a recovery to health soon.
So, what's everyone else up to?
