It lives!!
Ladies and gents, I present: Rex Reborn.
Like some dreary middle-eastern prophet, I return from the wilderness, unprovoked, probably unwelcome and certainly unapologetic.
And where shall we begin? At the start perhaps? Or shall we skip the formality and leapfrog directly to the juicy gossip... yes, let's do just that.
Somehow, and i honestly know not how...certainly not by any conscious effort on my part...I got my shit together. Stuff turned out okay. Happy Endings all round. Go me.
Quite how it happened isn't really important, and I'm not sure i really understand the whole process. Anyways, here's the deal.
I'm currently living, very happily, in a sleepy suburban village not far from Nottingham, with Jen; my girlfriend of the last 18 months. And yes, the rumors are true - we met on World Of Warcraft, which in fairness was the only place i could hope to meet anyone who'd put up with my utter gamewhoreishness.
So that's the housing and romance explained.
As for work...well, that's going pretty fucking well too. I'm currently doing web admin for www.internet-ink.co.uk and a couple of other associated sites. It's hardly rocket science, but after half a lifetime of monkey-fetch-monkey-carry jobs, it''s nice to be doing a "skilled" job - one that requires a brain doesn't involve sweating. I have my own desk, which I've always felt is a sign of moderate success, and I'm earning significantly more than the minimum wage for once. Huzzah.
At worst, it's a job. At best it's the start of my career. It beats removals hands down.
So there's the background. I'll start posting again now that i have something approximating a life to write about, and my own desk to do it from.
Hope you're all well, let me know.
Hail Eris.
Benji.
