Summer Days

So, it's summer here and everyone's starting to disappear into the sunset on holiday. This got me thinking about what everyone's got planned for their summer, so now's your chance to spill the beans! :)

What I've got planned for my summer: (which seems a lot less full when there's no school -yay for leaving school forever!)

I'm going to be going around town with some friends a bunch, since there's some interesting and pretty parks nearby to play games at etc. and in July/August I get to take a trip out to the US with my little sister to visit my grandparents and cousins who I haven't seen in ages since I moved here to the UK 7 years ago (sigh!) so that'll be great fun! :)

Oh, and among lotsa other things, I have to find a part-time job for when college starts, and find a new kitten to join the crew of awesome fuzzies in my house :)

Now it's your turn, what're ya all up to for summer? :)

First Time for Everything...

Well, having finally finished my exams today, I felt it was about time I got round to contributing to this. As my first post on this blog, I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right, a problem only exacerbated by the fact I have never before blogged.

Well, I guess I should introduce myself... I'm Jake (alter ego Pine Ofthaven) and have been playing Guild Wars since Christmas 2006, although I took a break for about six months up until now. I'm eighteen years of age now, and have just, as aforementioned, finished my exams, which culminated in AEA English today. With any luck I'll be at the University of Birmingham in September this year, studying Medieval English and History. To continue the theme of pets, I have a cat, called Cookie, and a red-tailed buzzard, called Lute (pictured). I've been a falconer since I was a mere whippersnapper at the age of eleven. Lute is now three years old and I've had her since she was eighteen weeks.

Hopefully you'll find me appropriately approachable, so feel free to talk to me in-game whenever. I'll most likely be ranting about how stupid the boss locations are in Prophecies as I attempt to skill cap...
