Diary Entry

New Beginnings

I started playing TEF when I read about it in one of the articles assigned for my Rhetoric of Serious Games class. I was intrigued by an online game that didn't have the usual "kill to gain progress" model but instead seemed to encourage community through the lack of normal typing communication.

What I found has been a very calming online experience, a community of friendly players on the game, and interesting a creative writers/artists on this site.

My stag started out lonely but has grown into an adult who has met many playful deer along the way. I've been going though some changes in my life recently and enjoy the parallels between my growth and my deer's growth. (I haven't thought of a name for him yet).

I've recently encountered some hurtles in my life with relationships and other things. But I always feel welcome when I enter the forest and just dance a while with other deer. So to all those that will dance with a stranger, I thank you! I enjoy this brief escape from reality to a simple area that comforts me. I hope to see you all in the forest eventually!

Real-life Raleigh?

Okay, so here the other day I was hanging 'round the city with a friend of mine after school.
As we all know, Copenhagen is infested with pigeons like every other major city, and they're usually small, pathetic, sickly and missing toes and eyes.
But not the one we saw!
It was pure white, had big, orange, adorable eyes, feet intact and it was just a little bigger than the other pigeons... And we got him to eat out of our hands! He was so adorable and a lady-killer! 'Cuz he stole our hearts immediately~
Also, he was the biggest douche ever, because every time another pigeon came close to his food, he pecked at them and went all big and fluffed his neck up. He even bit into another pigeon's wing and chased it almost an entire meter! Talk about tenacious bird...
At that point, me and my friend thought: "No wonder he's so pretty, he's the alpha-bird!" Also, he ate meat. Then again, pigeons in Copenhagen eat anything.
So, putting all these points together: strong, fast, pure white, pretty as hell, a lady-killer and a douche... We named him Raleigh : D
So, congratulations, Raleigh, you're now a small, white pigeon in a city who oughtta be more afraid of humans.
Flattering, I know.

How long has it been, my friend?

And to see you at the same time as Amary? It is a privilege.
I do not believe I have seen such a display of affection before this day. Is this what would be called a "group hug"?
It was not long before the three of us were frolicking like fawns. Even I willingly hopped to express the joy I felt.
I am content to sit for now...despite the chaos that appeared to be happening around us.

Hm.

I seem to be writing less frequently as of late.
I shall try to remedy this.
But for now...

I remain,

Bastilion
