Firstly - grannies are like that. Due to Andy's gran being seriously obsessed with making her grandchildren eat, I became addicted to Twix's (excuse me if this is a Brit thing :) )
Secondly, Chaotic. While I was at Uni first time round I was doing computing, I had soooooo much spare time that 7am-9pm I was guaranteed to be around for whatever reason. Then all of a sudden I was Out In The Real World and during those times I was working, out of work I was paying bills and sleeping, both fairly alien to me *grin*
Now, I'm in a medical course and we just don't use computers the same way as a computing course - we write essays, occassionally look up medical journals and birting magazines, and thats it. And again, I'm either studying, or working, and I get online on my days off, and when I can't sleep. That's why I retired everywhere - there's a lot I'd like to do, I just can't. I have a MUD wizbit on elephantmud approaching, but with work, studies and now a baby, I can see myself passing the chance on to someone else, even Andy so he can use my ideas. I feel really out of touch with Chaotic now, maybe it was the large part away when I finished Uni - I came back, everyone I knew (Luke, The Prod, zLaNa, etc) had moved on, and those I did still know had changed and adapted to the new people. I've felt like a spare part since then, but there are some who either remember me or just want to be friendly, although most people who used to talk to me just don't bother any more - but that's how lives move on I guess, and being thousands of miles away and virtually the only non-american makes it difficult for me. But like a bad smell I wont go away. I'll get stressed and not log in *anywhere* for a while, but I come back, because I like to hope my memories can be refreshed.
Anyway, this was only meant to be a little reply, but I know how you feel. That was all I was meant to say :P
