I've just re-read that last post and apart from not quite making it on to secondly I realise that there's a massive sentence in there that could probably have been broken up into more bite-sized chunks. Sorry about that but there was Buffy to watch, so it was either that or clean up that article. Which explains my poor grades at school. Oh well.
Speaking of school, do you want to see my French written assignment? Tough.
It's about my profession.
125 words of pure gold!
Here we go.
Are you ready?
Voila:
"Mon profession est créateur des jeux électronique, que j’ai fait depuis 15 ans, et je l'aime beaucoup. Mais créant les jeux est long – quelques-uns demandent plus de trois ans - et stressant. Alors, je voulais une vie plus simple donc presque il y a une année j'ai quitte mon emploi et je suis revenu à bristol. Depuis que j’ai travaillé à mon compte et j'ai fait beaucoup des choses, même réparer les fenêtres ! En ce moment cependant j'ai un contrat court durée pour lequel j'ai crée un site Web prototype. Je travaille chez moi surtout, que j'aime beaucoup. Le trajet de mon travail est très court! Côté inconvénients pendent la journée, en dehors de mon co-locateur qui travaille chez nous aussi, il y a personne à parler à."

Well. Life is a mess of contradictions isn't it? Just when you thought you'd got used to something, wham! Life hits you smack in the face.
So it is with life and so it is with the isolationist.
Now you could be forgiven for thinking that a blog entitled "the isolationist" would contain the self-indulgent ramblings of a single self-obsessed individual who eschews human contact, striving only to express the perfect solipsistic thought. And I'm not here today to contradict you. I'm just saying that rather than one isolationist there are now five. Each individual free to follow their own whims and fancies. And lets face it, if they write more I can get away with writing less, which is better for everyone.
So without further delay the new writers are:
Caroline Child
Thomas Paullier
Clemency Evans
John Shave
I asked them to be guest contributors because they've all got really interesting viewpoints on life and come from very different backgrounds as well as a penchant for wordiness which goes a long way with me. Thomas and Caroline have already written excellent articles about dancing and scuba diving and John and Clemency will be posting their first articles in the next couple of weeks.

Sitting here under a roof (fortunately) under the joyless January sky it seems timely to resurrect the blog version of The Isolationist. The rain is falling, my mood darkening, all of the portents are bad. What better time to start something new (old, new, old).
I don't know what I'll write about; maybe food, film, politics, running, climbing, bristol, life, shit that it is. But it'll be euro-centric, not american. Mostly this relates to food though, in food there will be no talk of cups, what a stupid fucking idea cups as a measure is. But who'd not talk about America and politics this year? Eh?
To start the ball rolling, over the next few days I'll be publishing my journal from when I went to Europe last spring after I broke up with my girlfriend. How exciting, how wrist-openingly exciting, I bet you can't wait for the red water to come.
Welcome to The Isolationist's world, it's pretty bleak.
