Hey Jess,
I just wanted to say thank you for your blog post. I wish we weren’t so far away from each other so I didn’t feel so helpless and unable to hang out with you and cuddle you all the time. I know you’re brilliant and I think his post just goes to show it…Plato? Pah! What am amateur!
Love you!

I think you’ve met me all of about once or twice, but I’m the mother of the adorable baby from the video. I went through a few years of being a depressed, unemployed recluse before deciding to be an animator, living with my then de facto partner, and thinking a lot. I know exactly how you feel! If you ever want to hang out with me and the cute one (now a toddler and learning to talk), just say the word!

I’d maybe forgotten a bit how smart you are (oops :P)
It makes perfect sense how/why you feel this way. Society does put a lot of pressure on you to get out there when you are unemployed. It pretty much pushed me to re-begin my studies, but try not to let it control you too much. Make the decision you want to make to get the result you want. Fuck everything else! :P
We’re all behind you and will support you whatever you do, but the most important thing is that you want to do it. Do it for you.
Miss you. See you in a few days!

So yeah! My first instinct is to try and say something that will help, as you know, because… well I guess that’s just what I want to do. But there’s not really anything I can think of and you’re not really asking for help in any case. But I am glad you always want to stay with me, and I will always support you while you figure out what you want to do. I love you very much!

Oh Tolstoy, you always know what to say. But yes! Exactly! This!

There’s a cool quote from Tolstoy about this, ” Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.”

I totally get what you’re saying. I feel trapped by the structure I feel like my life *should* have that I can’t manage to maintain. I don’t know what to do about it, I just know that trying to make myself fit that mould, and my constant failure to do so makes me unhappy.

On reflection, Taco Salad is just nachos but yeah nachos are better than tacos so good call.

That was a great post! Doubly so because I didn’t write it!

Personally, I think I’ve said funnier things than that one tweet this year! But I enjoyed reliving all those other wonderful things that you wrote about!

Best year ever? Some would say, so far, yes.

I can’t believe Taco Salad made it to your list though. What the hell.

An end of year retrospective list of awards? How editor-in-chief of a games site of you!

But seriously this is quite lovely! You guys had a pretty darn classy year!

Perhaps 2012 could be of EQUAL or GREATER class!? I hope so!
