-===*<< Sondemon >>*===-
Hello kids, it's story time!
In a room far far away, on the other side of the great city a young boy once lived. He played a game called M.U.D and he was quite crap at it. He found himself bored with his strong warrior he'd named Larsson, which was a typo of the comic book he read, known as Larson. His warrior was strong but it lacked elegance.
So one day our hero decided to create a new character, a stronger and better one! On this day the first version of Sondemon was born, after some time tossing around letters it finally ended as Sondemon en Shaa. After some trial and error it turned out to be a mage, and as months grew into years, so did the character, it became more than just a character in a game, it became a part of our hero.
Sometime during his adventures through the worlds he met a storyteller Malym, who helped to write down a short story about Sondemon, until today only found in the world of AAW, brought to you by our hero, now old and weary.

Bored. This word seems to describe Sondemon more than any other.
In the course of his life, he has experienced the full panoply
of human emotion and knows well that nothing can shock, amaze,
thrill or sadden him again.
Though not of great human age, the story of this once-anguished
creature who walks in mortal form is well known across the land
and though it means nothing to him, a small thrill races through
you to be so close to pure evil even if the recent tales of his
encounters suggest that he now looks more mercifully upon the
inhabitants of this realm.
His form is mostly concealed by the robe he wears, its colour
that of the festering blood of the unalive. Upon the hood, a
silvered design writhes unpleasantly as he moves and beneath it
his unweathered face, surely that of a man in no more than his
middle years, can be seen.
The robe conceals more than a single body. Beneath it you know,
is the Saurian windrider Graug, trapped in eternal prison bound
to the body of this being. The punishment of the dragon Graug,
never free again to spread his wings and fly is also a punishment
of Sondemon, who until his atonement is completed must suffer the
physical ravages of this living tattoo, his body constantly racked
in agony and torn to shreds by the limited movement of Graug.
Travellers in the now almost dead world of AAW may sometimes see him resting in the Temple of Bel or at an altar dedicated to Sadhakas praying to his god. Like our hero, the mage is now old and weary, rarely does he wander the worlds, seeking adventure. But from time to time, the hunger for more power grows too strong...

Delayed introduction pt2
Sorry for the delay, I've suffered from a bad case of crappy ideas of what I should bring up next, about the o so wonderful subject, ME!
Right, first of all thanks Ava for poking me:

WHERES PART 2 OF THE BLOGG
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!

Delayed introduction pt1
Hello there, all four (growing?!) of my readers.
I thought I'd take time to introduce myself, tell the world around me who I am, what I am and perhaps most importantly, why I am. I believe I will post this as a link through my Facebook aswell, attentionwhore as I am, sofar the only people who have recieved a link here are my closest and most trusted friends, and those ofcourse who snooped my Facebook link to my website the last 2 or so days I've had it there. And I think one, perhaps two in VildaBrax recieved a link while I was fooling around with my design. Which ofcourse still sucks, and I don't know what to do with it, and why it's taking so long for my help (Yes, I'm getting help with it....or so I think!) to get around to finnish it!
Sooo, here we are! Let's talk about the wonderful subject, ME! My name is Johan Olof Nilsson, and I am 27 years old closing up on 28, which means I'll soon be 30. Which to me feels incredibly weird, as I feel about 18 perhaps 19 years old. I was born and raised in Täby, north of Stockholm, I have two sisters, both older than me, and only my father still lives.
I'm going to skip talking about my time in school, because that's just a part of my life I don't want to get into. But I will let you know some things that went on beside school. What I liked to do and what I think of when I look back.
As pretty much all around me know, I'm what people would call a nerd, I play ALOT, mostly that time is spent with World of Warcraft (WoW). But where did it all begin?
I can actually remember the first game I ever played, my mom had borrowed a Mac Classic from her job, it had 4 shades of grey, and it had Dig Dug! The goal of this game was that you dug your way through dirt, driving over the gems, bags of golds and cherrys, avoiding the monsters. I have a picture in my mind of the very first map, how the monsters would start in the top right corner and you'd be somewhere down left. It was simply amazing!
What happened after that is still fuzzy, but later we got a Mac LC I believe it was, and I had games such as Shuffle Puck Café, Tetris, Civilization1, Number Muncher, Dubbelmoral, Prince of Persia. Ofcourse we shared these games between us kids around the block, who all had Mac's back in the day. The first game I ever got that was my own, that was bought, was Pipe Dream. Where you would place pipes between point A and point B using various pipes, a puzzle game. I might actually still have the box for it somewhere, if I don't I atleast kept it until I moved to my first own apartment, which was some 6 years ago.
So that was how my computer gaming begun, but I can't remember the first time I played a console game, but I remember the first console that was my very own, a NES 8-bit, I still have it to this day but it needs a tune up if I want to play it again. And I still have my SEGA, and my Nintendo 64 and my favourite, PS2 Limited Silver Line Edition!
These days I spend most time dedicated to playing WoW, and all this time have made me be amongst the better players out there. When my guild and I brought down a special boss (Sindragosa 10man, heroic mode), we were the 600th something guild in the world, I could actually look it up, but let's say 600th exactly. That would have made us players number 6001 to 6010, out of 11 million (or is it even more today?), that would mean we belong to the top 0.1%, to me that's quite cool. I'm not the best, nor do I wish to be. I play for fun, but progress in the game is fun to me, given that I get to share it with people I enjoy playing with. The guild VildaBrax!
More to come in the next part, stay tuned! :)

Patience!
Have patience with me for a few days and you will get a nice long wall of text to read, I need to tune it up and make sure I'm pleased with it first! It's the delayed introduction post!
Bad days
Soooo, bad days, they'll screw you over and leave you in a crappy state of mind, for me that's the case atleast.
Work today was just...dreadful, in lack of a better word. Back was hurting, and after 2 hrs with backpain I got a headache.
The rules of how we get breaks at work are weird, random and changes depending on day, who runs the shift and how long you work, today I worked 06.00 - 14.00, 8 hrs, I managed to get a 40min break because I begged alittle, I was supposed to get 30. Another guy worked 9.30-17.00, 7,5 hrs, he was scheduled to have a 45 min break. That got me sortof annoyed.
Another thing I realized today is that my boss hasn't really said a single word to me in a few weeks now, I wonder if he's mad at me or something.
Last night the group I play ICC10 with managed to get their first frost wyrms, server 3d, very nice! I'll hopefully be getting mine next week, all I need is achievment from Festergut and to defeat BQL
Crappy pic deluxe, but they'll get better when the design is ready :)
