A pink carnation & a copy of Pravda


Though essentially solitary by nature, we gamers occasionally like company. What's more, we prefer it if that company is easy to come by. Sadly, thanks to technological advancements in orthopaedic shoes and neck braces, we can no longer spot kindred spirits by their bowed heads and shuffling gaits.

I have, therefore, committed to paper three methods (each having sub-methods) of drawing attention to one's gamer status, without alerting the general public or officers of the constabulary. (I wished I'd written them before an enquiry to a fellow office worker, about him 'being a gamer', was misconstrued as a homosexual advance. If either of us had been gay, the incident might not have been as traumatic.)

I hope that, with my guidance, you may never feel alone again. Try what I suggest and report your findings back to this electronic noticeboard. I shall polish the valves that power it, ready for your tales of success.

Another hospital appointment.


I've got a monthly renal clinic appoint at the hospital. I went this morning. The doctor was telling me that my haemoglobin levels were a bit low, but that my creatinine (essentially the amount of poison in my system) levels were fairly constant. My kidney's working at about 30% efficiency. It was a simple enough exchange; I told him how I was feeling, he told me how I actually was.

It's odd to have matters of importance discussed so casually. I mentioned this. I told the doctor what he says is important to my life, yet the tone of the conversation is more suited to someone ordering vegetables from a greengrocer; not that histrionics would help matters.

He chuckled and agree with me, saying that it's best (useful?) to be logical and dispassionate about it. Thinking about the ramificationsmight mean people couldn't cope.

Logical and dispassionate. Logical and dispassionate. I always am, and I'm anything but.
