I finally figured out how to not suck (somewhat) at Age of Wonders.

The first one?  Duuuuuuuuuuuude.  Fuckin love that game.  Also, is it just me, or are the Highmen kinda, like...legendarily broken?

That's the one. Brilliant game and one of the most complex turn-based strategies I've ever played. As for your question, I've no idea. I only just managed to not get my ass handed to me in the first scenario of the Keeper's campaign.

That said, I will say that ballistae are most definitely overpowered. Four of the buggers in a line and it seems the enemy no longer want to kill me on account of all the free javelins I'm sending their way.

I.  Fucking love.  Age of Wonders.  Its one of my single most favorite strategy games, like...ever.  In fact, I installed it on my laptop last night because you reminded me of it.  Thank you.

Got to hang out with my girlfriend, got new music and some new clothes, and found out that I'm actually really good at the ME3 multiplayer.  Yeah, today was a good day.

First paycheck today and it turns out I quite significantly overestimated how much I'd need to build an excellent gaming PC. I'll definitely have it by the end of the month at this rate.

And yes, I will donate to the Miles fund once I have both my laptop and debit card on me at the same time.

Got the original Doctor Who soundtrack yesterday, then talked to boyfriend for an hour and a half about love and our relationship and our plans for the future and whatnot. The current plan is for me to be a successful lawyer while he stays at home and writes his novel. ;D

Got offered a free ticket to Disneyland, so long as I can get my ass there. Coincidentally to meet up with a pretty girl, but I don't really expect this to go anywhere romantically/sexually.

It would probably freak me out if it did.

ETA: Also got through the last of my band's songs without getting lost. Twas a very good feeling.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I got a letter congratulating me on making the Dean's List! This makes me happy.

I got to be literally surrounded by guys and speak to them about military stuff. Haven't been able to do that in forever.

And they agreed with me about leadership stuff. :)

My bursary from university came in. £750! I'm now going to let these sterling fellows from Killing Floor visualise it.

Got some Switchblade Symphony on mah laptop last night.  Nice and calm, but awesome.  Really mellows me out.

(And that, dear friends, is why I don't need weed.  I need ta mellow out, I just get some music.)

I'm noticing improvement every time I run. I can run a little farther and a little faster.

Are you talking to me, Ironbite??
Because I'm very single, and probably will never have a kid
