I am so not happy. I know this is going to be an awful entry and not very fun for you all to read but I have to let it out. I AM NOT HAPPY! It is the time of the year again, our landlady gives us a call asking if we want to stay for the next ‘uni’ year. I informed her that Liam and me wanted to stay for the next year, well, we do not want to really but we don’t have much choice unfortunately. Erm kept dodging the question when we told him that we need to let the landlady know what it is going to be. I hoped so badly that he didn’t want to stay, Liam and I already decided that we can do it on our own. I was so looking forward to being just alone again. In all honesty, my life has been an absolute mess since Liam signed up for university here in Derby.

I think it is best to do the whole story in stages, to avoid a really long and boring entry. It think it is time to tell you all how I landed in little shitty Derby, we’re going back to the beginning!

Let’s start with saying that I am a geek, or a nerd, I cannot remember the difference between those two. I love online gaming, first person shooters in particularly. I got hooked when my brother showed me a game he was playing named Delta Force 2. The first time I played I did not get off until around 5 in the morning. After European people went to sleep I stayed up and played with the Americans, I was hooked. I nearly played every free night I had, which disappointed my parents a lot, as I was still living at home but never showing my face.

What was even more disappointing for them is that I dropped out of college and started to work. I did not have the patient to sit still, to absorb what education had to give me, the fool I was. After 6 months trying to study how to be an administration assistant without any books (somehow nobody seemed to be able to help me getting the right books) I was so frustrated and fed up that I decided to drop out. This wasn’t what I wanted to do anyway!

I started working at a big grocery store near where I lived as my parents told me so lovingly ‘a job is a job, you dropped out, now you have to go work for your meals’. In all honesty they didn’t force me to pay anything as long as I lived under their roof, they been really helpful, nice and understanding, but hated the fact that I dropped out and did nothing all day. Within 2 weeks I had started at the grocery store, nothing special but there were some nice people around and I made some good friends. I also fell in love there, which is a complete different story, which is really not interesting so I will keep it short. We started dating and I sort of ‘lost’ my interest in Delta Force 2 as I was busy most of the nights with this guy. I also changed jobs, I found a nice, pretty good paying job as (if you are guessing, your guessing right) an administrative assistant for a distribution centre for DVD’s, books and basically everything relating to Multi Media.

What can I say, after 9 months and just spending a nice week in Turkey, we broke up. So having a lot of time on my hands again, I started working weekends in a nightclub so having 2 jobs, respectable administrative assistant by weekdays and going madly wild and enjoying herself to the max on weekend evening. That is a time I am still thinking back to very fondly. I also discovered Red Faction, an online multiplayer first person shooter, fps in short. I got hooked again.
