I actually played a lot of different types of table top games before I ever had a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Probably because it's hard to get people together for a campaign and it's easier to do one-shots with other systems.
I did Dm a game way back before I knew anything about the game for my brother and his friend. I'm pretty sure I got everything wrong on that though.

I'm currently playing a forth edition campaign set in Neverwinter were I'm a Goliath Defender. It's a simply character to play as I just have to hit things. A change from my usual assassin type characters that are sneaky and stab you in the back.

I've learned the basics of programming in Basic from a course I did before. And I learned the basics of html from the course I'm doing now. I also though myself Action script for flash from a book. I've even did a simple game.
None of this means I actually know how to program anything though. Not anything big.
It's all the little things that get me. In programming, if you miss even the smallest symbol it can mess up your program and you'll have no idea why.
Still, it's always an accomplishment if you get it right.

Chess Badge

I've never played chess in a competition or anything, I really only know the basics. But I did teach someone to play chess.
It was a next door neighbours parent. I remember kind of thinking at first that maybe the were doing that thing grown-ups do where they pretend they don't know something so the child is entertained  but I did it anyway because it was fun. But I soon realised that they honestly didn't know. I don't know how well I taught the rules but I hope I did an ok job.
I think that was the first time I consciously realised that not all grown-ups know the same things.

Every year for our school trips we would go one of two places. Either a farm, or Fota Wildlife Park.
Now nothing against farms or zoos but We always heard of other schools going to interesting place or even other countries. And we were stuck with animals. )though our last year we did get to go to Oysterhaven Adventure Centre)
Fota's a good place for what it is but it never left much of an impression on me. Thou it's cool to watch the monkeys try and steal your food at lunch.

I had a job interview with them last year and I thought it went ok but I never heard back from them so I guess not.
:(

This didn't turn out to be much of a story.

Still don't have a tumblr. Still don't want one. I spend enough time on the internet already.



I was on my primary school swim team. Not much of a story to tell really. I was only a sub (and the only sub) but it got me out of class which, of course, was why I did it.
