redfiona99RL - Finally got to fencing. I feel roughly 7000 times better. It probably says bad things about me that I need to hit people with swords (and be hit) in order to feel good but ... I know it's really mostly that I was, literally, brain-breakingly lonely, and within one session I met awesome friendly people. I must say this, there is a great fellowship amongst fencers, and I know that I could walking into all but maybe 5 clubs in the country and be guaranteed at least a 'hail and well met'.
They are mostly epeeists, a grievous moral failing I will forgive them for entirely. One of the epeeists is a biology PhD student and its so nice to hear a PhD student be excited about their project.
All that means that life in the lab is going better. I think I might finally be getting the hang of the damn thing.
Computer Games:
I've managed to get myself organised enough to be able to to play SWTOR again.
I can sort of see why people don't like Corellia, because yes, it is a lot of grey and very square, but it really feels like a living breathing city.
The first Imp. agent mission is also really interesting.
The reveal of the First Son was exactly who I expected it to be, but it's still a bit eeek!
My Imp Agent is furious with Lord Razer for taking Kalliyo away, and would be conspiring with the imp underlings who also hate him (because he's a bloody-thirsty, vainglorious psycho even by Imperial standards) but they're a bunch of anti-alien racists (the game is not subtle) and my Agent is a Zabrak.
I keep forgetting how big Belsavis is. And I keep getting lost. Both stories are bubbling along.
My smuggler is on Taris and my Sith Warrior is on Balmorra. Despite being on Balmorra, I must say the Sith Warrior story is getting interesting.
Given that I suspect I'm coming to the end of the Consular and Imp. Agent stories, I think I'll start Jedi Knight and Bounty Hunter soon and they'll be my Dark vs Light characters.
Fic writing: I should have something finished soon. It's an Avengers Assemble fic, because I write at the speed of snail. Because I knew exactly what was in it and it's Thor fic I thought, yeah, this'll be a nice, quick, short fic. 2000 words later (and yes, I know I am the only person who doesn't call that a short fic, but my fics are normally ~ 1000 words), and it's not that short any more. It might well be the last thing for a while because everything else is either actually long (x > 5000 words), or coming out tortuous and complicated.
