I helped
I spent yesterday in one of the Aberdeen South polling stations, as a clerk. Thanks to me, 400-odd people got to vote.
That feels pretty good.

I can't influence how you vote
...but that guy on the blue team is a cunt.
I don't know
Maybe it's just me, but if I was drawing a comic about a bunch of girls where it was important to be able to distinguish them quickly, and was doing two somewhat complicated simultaneous scenes, I might make more of an effort to make them more distinct.

At least now people don't have the "but I don't have a PC!" excuse as to why they haven't played Darwinia yet.

Tranquility is hard, and I'm building up to it one letter at a time
So one dude I work with is an utter tosser.
I know what you're thinking - "Strider, you don't really work with yourself" - but no, I've got a valid point here.
Let's start with an anecdote. He's sat at my old desk. And he sees me every day at lunchtime. And he works on reception sometimes, and was the first person I met in the building, so yeah, I am not unknown to him.
So last week he comes down and asks the guy sitting behind me "Hey, I'm looking for some brown folders, the young guy who used to sit at my desk had some, do you know where they are?" And I'm thinking to myself, "Hey! I'm that young guy! And I know where the folders are! And you just walked straight past me, from the front! Are you going to ask me, so I might tell you (And here's a hint, they're in your line of sight)?"
He didn't, so I didn't, and yes I do think in brackets.
BUT!!! That really isn't the point I was going for.
He has An Opinion. On everything. And this opinion is, "I hate it". I mean, that's cool, he's consistent, but it gets a bit tiring to hear, ooooh, ten times every lunchtime. I'm not going to go as far as to say I hate it - because, really, we could all see that one coming! - but, well, it's tiring. And the worst part is that, you know, I used to be kinda like that. So at least it's nice to realise that I'm not now, but...
And the entire point of this was that he's a tosser, and I kinda want to become so goddess damned fucking tranquil that people could mistake me for a river (Without being able to wiggle half the teeth in my jaw or be able to stick my fingers through my cheek, thanks Tyler), so while writing this was somewhat counterproductive, at least it's a good mapping point. I don't want to be like that.

We could go to Unreal Tournament

...let's not go there, Unreal Tournament is a violent place.
