Final Lap
So, this is it.
So, this is it.
One of the things that I really hate about Windows XP is that it handles external storage like a stone absorbs water.
I first got online at the age of 14. It’s terrifying in itself because this was nearly 7 years ago, but there’s an after effect of maintaining the same online presence for so long which now manifests itself. At the age of 21, with a growing concern for a more ‘grown up’ online image, I have a really, really silly name.
Not ‘Ben Ward’. I rather like that name and am rather glad not to be a woman and face losing it in marriage. The name in question is ‘Shovel’. It’s an alias I used when I first came online (stolen from a 5 minute GCSE English sketch, if I remember rightly. A guy called Neil actually thought of it). I joined forums with it, I played Quake with it and to this day am still recognised by it in certain dingy corners of the interweb.
