I wish I enjoyed everything else as much as video games

So, according to my Playstation 3 I have spent 151 hours playing Skyrim, that's like 6 and a half days!
What on Earth can compel someone to spend that much time of their lives on a video game, I mean, it is just a game right, none of the characters are real, none of the missions are real and you don't really gain that much from playing it!

I guess it's all about escapism, it certainly is for me. Whenever I'm feeling like a big pile of crap, I stick my Playstation on, and play a game, once I'm into it, I don't feel as though I have any problems, and I could just sit there for the rest of eternity... If you're in the body of somebody else it's easy to just relax and take on their problems, and lead their life. Because, let's face it, if you get shot in the face and killed, you just load your last save and it's like it never happened! You can make your character whatever gender you feel like, you can give them really ridiculous hair you'd never dream of having, and make them have the perfect figure with big muscles that yourself would find unattainable. You have no friends, no family, nobody, but that's okay, because you're this mysterious stranger who undertakes all these missions for people and is pretty much just the good samaritan of wherever you may be setting this game. You can kill whoever or whatever you want and not have to suffer with the consequences (not that I regularly do this in real life). You can earn incomprehensible amounts of money from selling useless pieces of tat in shops, and not have to pay bills, tax, or in fact, pay anybody any money at all. Everything you earn is your own, and although it's not earnt in the most fashionable of ways (killing and stealing) it's your money! If you wanna buy some fancy clothes, go ahead and buy those fancy clothes, if you wanna buy a 6ft long sword, you buy that sword! Nobody can stop you because well let's face it, it's not their money, and you as a video game character don't exist.
I'd imagine you're aching for me to get to the point of this blog, well I hate to break it to you but there isn't a point to it, I just love video games, and they love me and we'll live happily ever after in my dark little bedroom forever and ever <3

Hello everyone!

As you'll be pleased to know, I'm writing a blog for the first time in months, I literally have no idea why I haven't written in such a while, I think i just fell out of the swing of things! So, what can I update you on? Hmm.
Millie's moved in with me, whilst we attempt to save for our own flat, which is surprisingly going well considering I'm not actually that skilled when it comes to saving... whereabouts we'll end up living, I have no idea, ideally I'd like to live up South Cliff, mainly because I'm a lazy fat ass who wouldn't rather walk that little bit extra to go to work and Uni... I make myself sick! :') We haven't actually bought anything for this flat we're meant to be getting, so that's also going to be an issue, may have a flat, but no furniture to put into the flat...
What else has happened?
I finished my first year of Uni, how the hell I managed that I literally have no idea! The last few weeks began to drive me slightly insane, but I still got all my work done before the final day and I could actually go to sleep the days before all the hand ins! I must admit the most irritating part of the hand ins was how we actually gave them the work, can't just hand it on a memory stick or on a disc, or just print it out. No. We require you to author at least 17 different DVD's with your work in 32 different formats, oh and we need all the images/audio/video that you used to create each video as well, in 87 different formats, on a floppy disk. Alright, I'm taking the mick with that last one, but seriously?! Why do we need to do that?! It was irritating enough to have to use tapes to record our 'How-to' videos, I mean who actually uses tapes for anything anymore? Apparently my Uni is still in the Stone Ages. 

I've also began a diet, which many of you that know we well will probably already know, at nearly 17 stone I think maybe it's time I took a few pounds off that number before I consume the entirety of Scarborough's cake population. Slightly exaggerating, but I literally feel huge most days now, and although many people are like 'Why are you on a diet, you're fine?' I'm just stood there like, have you not actually seen me? I'm just getting to that point now where I'm uncomfortable with the way I look, sick of looking for all the biggest sizes in clothes, and just really couldn't be doing with that! I think I want to get to a Size 16, currently a 20 and that really isn't ideal for me anymore. I'm on the Weight Watchers diet, and those of you that have been trying to tell me that Slimming World is better, it may be for you but you have to keep in mind, I don't eat red meat, I don't eat vegetables, and I don't eat much fruit... So really in theory, I'd just not lose anything because I'd just occasionally stock up on carbohydrates, and let's face it, they're really not going to reduce my waistline!
I'm already bored, it's meant to be a really long Summer, and with another 4 months to go of doing nothing, I can't imagine how I'm going to feel in September, I'm aiming to fill my holiday with working, working, working out, working, losing weight, and that's where the story ends kids! I really have nothing that exciting planned for Summer, and with this diet, it's not like I can go out much either because every single drink contributes! I am going to have a very sober summer so to speak!

Well, I've just totally filled this page full of crap, so I hope you enjoy looking at and reading my crap.
That is all.
