I’ve been watching you

Not waiting for the right moment to make the first move

Do you want to know

Why I keep avoiding your eyes

And why I’m running away?

It’s crazy, I know



I’ve been conceiving you for too long



Or maybe I’m destined to be alone?

Or maybe there’s someone who will understand

That I’m not able to share my world?

I’m still running away

It’s crazy, I know



I’ve been conceiving you for too long

If only I could change all things around



Still conceiving you all along…



I’ve been conceiving you for too long

If only I could change all things around

I’ve been conceiving you for too long

I’ve grown used to that



Still conceiving you all along…

Gaming Classification and Censorship

For those of us from Australia:



The due date for submissions to the ALRC on the proposed National Classification Scheme Review is the 15th of July. One of the bugbears in this particular review (quite apart from proposed internet censorship, which is another matter entirely) is the censorship and classification of games in Australia. Specifically, the lack of an R18+ classification. Which means that when R rated games come out in Australia, they're cut or censored to remove "inappropriate" content. The Witcher 2, for example. Fallout 3. GTA III, San Andreas, IV. Left 4 Dead 2. Mortal Kombat. etc etc.



Admittedly you can get around some of these censors, but that's not the point. The point is that we're adults, playing adult games, designed for adults. We're not children, and shouldn't be treated as such.



Please: if you're a gamer in Australia, read the ALRC paper and provide a submission here to ensure your voice is heard. Otherwise we'll all just end up sitting on one side of a massive firewall looking at everyone playing happily on the other side. More information on the R18+ rating can be found here.

So today at work I catch up with one of the ladies I did training with and we're arranging to have a bit of a group get together in a couple of weeks, which will be fun and pretty much the only thing I have to look forward to until November when Skyrim comes out. I ask how she's doing, because it's been a couple of weeks since I've seen her. This is not particularly unusual with 24/7 shift work and being on different roster rotations.



"Okay," she says, "just a bit blah at the moment."



"Why?" I ask innocently.



"Because hubby is away so when I get home from work the house is empty and quiet and I have no one to talk to."



-_-



"But oh," she adds, "it's all good though, he gets back soon so then I can make up for it with him and all will be good in our sexy happy funtimes place of joy and wonderment.*"



* actual wordage may be slightly changed here. I call artistic license.



-_-



She shudders. "I don't know how people stand going home to an empty house every day."



YES, THANK YOU FOR THAT, I AM A TOTAL LOSER, I DO REALISE THIS. THANKS FOR RUBBING MY PERMANENT FOREVER ALONE STATUS IN MY FACE. APPRECIATE IT. NO, REALLY. I'LL JUST GO AWAY AND SLIT MY WRISTS NOW SHALL I?



And then I had to go spend a day dealing with idiots... er, the public on the phones.











Also, I miss my Shepards.
