So what have I been up to recently?
It is the beginning of a brand new journey, as university slowly comes to a close and old friends leave the area. There have been many gatherings and farewells which has hasn't really sunk in yet. I hope to stay in the area personally, although Bath itself is very expensive. I'm looking for cosy looking places where I could live by myself or with a non-student close friend. I would like to move forward, get another job and set myself up to start a company at the beginning of next year.
I will be having to skip sofa to sofa but I think the effort is a good investment for a pleasant future for me.
Recently I hosted my own gathering to celebrate my 21st birthday. It was fantastic - a lot of my close friends attended and I felt truly loved. It was a wonderful experience to see friends new and old, and even to conduct a successful Paranoia RPG improvisation with my friends. Paranoia is one of my favourite rpg tabletop games and tends to get good reactions from friends who play it with me, I would like to make a blog post about it in the future. In short, rpg games such as Paranoia encourages my confidence and storytelling skills. I hope to host other games, especially horror themed.
Also at my birthday two wonderful chefs baked me delicious cakes which was amazing, both to look at and to eat! Unfortunately I don't have any photos, but they brought a huge smile to my face. When I came home the following day my parents also gave me a cake with a special photo made of icing on top. Of course, it was myself at one years old. It was both embarrassing and awesome at the same time. I was also lucky enough to receive a violin and I have been practising Rains of Castamere. Perhaps I shouldn't advertise my instruments so much though, otherwise no one will want to live with me again in the future!
On that note, one of my housemates this year said that they found me a great housemate to live with which really touched me. I really adore every friend I've had this year, everyone has been fantastic.
I have of course been delving in the creative side of life, as always. Other than practising music I have been writing both fiction and academia. I have also been working on my games, The Girl and the Dragon, Little Cat and a brand new game called 'Cognatus' which I am very excited about. I will probably introduce it in the near future.
Anything else?
Well, recently I went to Bristol Zoo and really enjoyed my time. I found the experience very interesting and enjoyed how informative each exhibit was. I learnt a lot about various animals I had never seen before and have thus have an even longer list of favourites.
I found the aye-aye was the most fascinating and enjoyable little creature to watch. They were quite curious and remarkable in the way they behaved and moved. Bristol Zoo has a special section with very low lighting which will make it inaccessible for some. However, it features several creatures that thrive in such conditions including the aye-aye and the sand cat, so I do recommend it a visit!
And...?
And lastly, in between tidying the house and academia I have been playing games such as Civilization V and reading books such as The Moon Child which I hope to be reviewing soon.
I think that's it, so alas, ciao for now :)
