Haven't written for some time, so now it's time for that. Before going on to various fanfics I have to recommend, I'll write about what has been a lot in my thoughts lately. For days, weeks, months, perhaps even years I have been thinking more and more about the future. About politics, ideology, religion, philosophy and such. I've been thinking about these things, been worried about a lot of things, being pessimistic and defeatistic. Global warming, terror wars, future lackings of natural resources like crude oil and clean water. A lot of things. I've become more interested in finding my place, finding a religion I actually believe in, a political ideology I agree with (and a party having that ideology) and finding the way I want to live the rest of my life. It somehow feels like I am on some kind of treshold, and it feels like it began more than a year ago. Here's a text I wrote a few days ago (I don't remember when, and it's unedited since then) What do you think of it?
Pessimist, defeatistpessimist, defeatist, so depressing
I think about the future, about myself
what will happen to the world, and to me?
I look at the world, seeing all it's faults
feels like it overweighs everything else
our future is dark, and we've created it
coming here, we got power over others
but with power comes responsibility
and we've failed, ourselves and others
through our greed, and expansions
we've ruined our chances, brought disaster
we abused the power, now we'll pay
Recently I found a game I think I'll be playing for a long time. It's called particracy, and is a web game (or whatever you call it, a multiplayer text-based game played in your internet browser) where the world is divided into nations with five regions each. In each nation there's a number of political parties, all driven by players of the game. The opinions of the people of the nation change overtime, and they'll vote on the party that they feel are the closest to their opinion. How a party is seen by the population is decided by what your party votes on in the bills in the government of the nation.
Check it out, it's a great and interesting political simulator.

"Spike's parents show up in Sunnydale (Highlander/Buffy) complete"
Spike's parents are immortals, or rather, adoptive parents. And his adoptive father has an interesting past, indeed. While in sunnydale, they run into a demon wanting to bring back the four horsemen of the apocalypse (they were real, and immortals, btw, in highlander-verse), and that's really really bad news.
