Right, first of all thanks Ava for poking me:

YOU LAZY BASTARD

Threats always help when you're not sure of what to write!
So let's write something, last I spoke of where my gaming all begun, and I shall try and avoid boring everyone with more gamestuff, atleast for this time.
So school wasn't all fun for me, I hated studying, but honestly few kids do enjoy it. My problem was I could hardly sit down and do my homework, so I had the bad habit of lying alot. Not in the ways of "My dog ate my homework", but more "It was here, but now it's gone!" and well, not everyone fell for it, it was usually about big turn ins, projects etc. I remember I stole my arts folder from school and thew it in the trash, after having skipped class for about 3 months. That was the first class I actually skipped, during my 9th year in school. And after the 9th year well, let's just say that I had about as much absence as the rest of my class together after 6 months. 2 months before the summer my 10th year I sat down with my dad, teachers and a counselor to discuss my options. I ended up leaving school about 6 weeks before the summer holiday, I worked at a marina, cleaning boats mostly. But I also had the opertunity to help out installing stuff in them, and unwrapping new ones. It's actually quite fun opening a newly delivered huge boat, all wrapped in plastic.
It was great fun, but looking back I wouldn't want to work with it. But I had a good time, I think I only had to suffer one day of rain, the rest was sunshine and when I left, I had a great tan before everyone else had quit school for summer!
I went back to see a guy there a few times during the summer, he was renovating a rescue boat to drive around tourists in the archipelago outside of Stockholm. But I was a kid and easily bored, so I don't really know what happened, I was on holiday and didn't really care.
In the autumn I went back to school, with my friends that were a year younger. I was in the same class as my best mate, and the two of us and a third had a blast, after school we'd go home to the third guys place, play computers and just have fun.
I managed to stay in that class for 3 terms, then I had so much absence that I decided to leave again, and my dad told me that I had two choices, either sort out school or get a job. One month later I was working for Citymail, my second job ever. I started my career as a poolguy, cleaning and opening the local pool were I grew up, it's not that much fun getting up at 8.30am every day on your summer holiday, but it was money and who was I to complain? Anyway, Citymail was ok, but I only lasted a month. I was told I could get my own area as soon as one was available, I saw three come and go before I decided I wouldn't come back. Being february was also something that helped me decide to leave. I mean, who in their right mind enjoys delivering mail in -20°?
So, after Citymail I sent an application to McDonald's. This was in the spring of 2001, I began my employment for old man Ronald in may and stayed for 4.5 years at the restaurant in Täby. I loved the place, but things happened and I left at the end of september 2005. I left because of two reasons, one was that I headed into a depression, and the other was my mother passed away that summer. The two made me isolate myself away from pretty much everyone.
At this time I was playing quite alot, and I fled IRL into the world of various games. This is how I met three of my now closest friends. Ava(Anthony!) mentioned earlier being one of them, Sara another and finally Classe. I've made alot of other friends through the game and I don't regret for a second all the time I've spent infront of the computer.
So after some 2 years of isolation, even from my family I started seeing this guy, just to talk about things, see if it could help. And tho it might've helped alittle, I was already on my way back thanks to my sister. She pushed me forward, made me come out and see her, she understood and helped me out alot. This was about when her first kid was 4-5 months old.
Me and the guy I was going to set up 3 short term goals. I failed at one, the second I can't remember what it was but the third was get a new job. So I applied to McDonald's again, this time closer to where I lived since I had moved out and was living on the other side of town. I still work there and I have done so for 2 years and about a month now, and I hate it!
So this is the present, I work at a place I hate. Trying to find a new job at my own pace. Spending time with my friends both in the AFK world and in the fantasy world.
Is this good enough for now you bully of a britt?!
I will try to write quite soon again, I was asked recently "Why Sondemon?" and I told her the story. But I think it would be an amusing story to tell, as it involves the wonderful world of AAW and M.U.D!
