Getting into the thick of things

February 10th, 2014

Its been a busy week or two and I felt this as due an update as our first presentations got underway as feedback came back in and the results for last semester came in I found myself feeling very disenfranchised.

I’ve been seeing a lot of negativity batted about. Every time I open my twitter or Facebook I see something bad largely to do with homophobia. I see the kind of Internet shit storm started by a simple comment by Rory o Neil as well as the horrible treatment of gays in Russia laws passes in Uganda. Those last Two are far away but I still feel it. it hurts to think people would say and do bad things just because of one aspect of my character.

I hate that people think of my love for my partner as being less then theirs or disgusting or even effects them in the slightest.

Here is a link to Panti’s(Rory’s ) speech Something that has resonated around the world and a thing that has been watched nearly half a million times. at least half of those by me.

Well its not where my mental energy needs you be at the moment though I wish it could be. I wish I knew where to start with helping to campaign for equality and I wish I had the time to do so.

My project is at a bit of a hurdle. Its the time I need to decide if I want to go with the project I want to do or move onto a less ambitious project. I’m fairly confident that I have the technical ability to create a good horror game. It’s time that limits it.

Its not all bad I am hitting minor goals I am onto week 6 of the couch to 5k challenge and I ran for a total of 20 minutes without stopping which is something I never thought I would be capable of. and I am 2 days away from having a chain length of 200 on the magic spreadsheet which is an achievement for me. it says nothing for the quality of my writing I know but to be so consistent and stick with something for over 200 days and I nearly have a novel out of it.  I am trying to be positive. I think tiredness effects me badly and makes things seem worse then they are.
