Just one foot in front of the other...

Well, as you may have figured out from the title, this blog is going to be about walking, both metaphorical, and actual walking. So, I guess I'll start with the real walking.

I have always liked walking, but I also found it boring, and I've never had the time, so I rarely go for walks. But a few nights ago, I thought it was a really nice night, so I decided to go for a walk, since I had nothing better to do. It was raining lightly outside, which may have put some people off, but not me, I love walking in the rain. I also like walking at twilight, just as it's getting dark. The sky, and in fact most things, look so much better in this type of light. I started off walking around our neighbourhood, and eventually I got to an area of land that hasn't been developed, not too far from where I live. There are usually a lot of kangaroos around here, so I thought I might try and take some photos. At first it looked like there wasn't a roo in sight, but just as I was about to give up and head back onto the road, I saw a fairly big group of them. As soon as they saw me, stomping around and waving my camera-phone in what must have seemed a threatening manner, they turned and hopped away a short distance. So, being the stubborn fool that I am, I chased after them, at first trying to be stealthy and sneak up on them, but when that didn't work I just ran after them as fast as I could. Eventually I lost them, without getting a single photo, and then I realised that I'd gotten myself lost in hte scrub. So I stumbled back in what I thought was the direction of the road, and after nearly ten minutes I found a landmark, a bit of white ribbon tied to a tree. So I found my way back and the rest of my walk was fairly uneventful, apart from nearly spraining my ankle when I tried to run in skate shoes. I had a great time and it was great exercise, but when I got home however, it was a different story. I'd stayed out until after 8 pm and my parents were not impressed, considering it was a school night. But anyway, now I have made it my goal to go out walking at least twice a week, and I might even get into competetive walking (yes, I'm serious) since I'm a pretty fast walker.

Well, after that boring ramble that I'm sure noone cared about, I'm going to tell you about the metaphorical walking I've done. Looking at my profile, I realised I've taken a huge step forward, and reached two years on Gamespot. I joined March 5, 2006, but I only really became active about mid-2007. Since then, I've racked up 1652 forum posts, 41 blog posts (42 after this), 70 union blog posts, only one written review, 4 emblems (pathetic), at one point over 130 friends, but now it's just a manageable 52, 802 profile views, and 262 tags. I've also joined about 50 unions, most of which I have left, been officer in 8 unions, been leader (very briefly) of one. I have only been modded once in my time here, but I hope to avoid that happening in future. I am yet to post any videos, but I can guarantee when I do, they'll actually be worth watching, not like some of the crappy videos I've seen some people come up with.

Well, I think that's it for now, I would write about the Mandurah Crabfest, which was this weekend, but then this post would be way too long, so I'll leave it for later. Also, I might start up WotW again next week, depends what's happening.

Well, I've finally decided that instead of having a tag-line, each week I will say goodbye in a different language. Feel free to guess what language I use.

M'Asselema.
