Jane, Lewis and Ethan
My name is Iain Stewart, known widely on the internet as “toxic”, co-founder of Random Fury! (The Halo and General Online Gaming Clan ranked 37th in the UK) and this is my blog, Waves.
When I first wrote this introduction I wasn’t really too sure how deep to go as I wrote it before there were any entries in the blog. I figured that all would be revealed in time, but looking back now, there are a few things that needed clarification, such as our living arrangements, and who all these people I write about are.
I love Jane, she’s great. We’ve been together for over ten years now and we recently moved into a big house in Waterlooville. We (well, I say “we”, it’s more “Jane”) own a third of it, along with Jane’s Mum, Myrtle, and Jane’s Dad, Colin, (affectionately known as Nanna and Pops for the kid’s sake) who own another third, and Jane’s sister, Claire, and her husband Matt own the last third. Claire and Matt’s children (Lewis (8) and Ethan (3)) also live here. Paul, Jane’s brother, does not live with us. Back in Southampton we have my Mum, and David (my brother) and Katie, the proud parents of my adorable little niece, Jasmine.
Why am I doing this? Well, I feel I’m at a crossroads in my life, emerging from one dark path and looking out towards the sunset. My therapist did say that keeping a diary or journal would help, so I hope that by keeping this blog it will help me understand myself, and help others who may be going through a dark period. It also helps me to vent, as living here is not always roses. I used to write a blog over at Poopgang (R.I.P.) which I enjoyed a lot, and I have brought over all those old entries and retrofitted them into this WordPress installation. Overall, I’d say the best way to find out about me would be to read some posts I’ve made on here. Go do that.
I have a pretty regular routine for posting stuff on here. Every Tuesday is the LOL day, where I pop over to icanhascheezburger or one of it’s affiliate sites and choose my favourite LOL of the last seven days. I try to do a recap of the past weeks events every Sunday, you can find them with the Sunday Service tag. I used to post a fair bit about Phantasy Star Universe, but have since given that up. I absolutely love Halo the games, I really enjoyed Halo 3: ODST and to say I’m looking forward to Halo: Reach would be an understatement. I’m hoping to do a regular “Screenshot of the week” for Reach when it comes out.
Here are my Halo 3 stats, just because I didn’t know where else to put them, really.
