Maybe it's me nearing 31 years old. Maybe I've always been like this but never really thought about it enough to care, but for the last few weeks I've been feeling very nostalgic on late evenings. This has lead to some late nights re-installing old PC games and looking at re-living holidays from the past. Come the morning I feel normal and how can I say it, 'Non-Nostalgic' maybe.

A few examples of the feelings I have.

Feel like logging into World of Warcraft to raid once again. As much as I disliked raiding last year I did enjoy it once upon a time ago. Or do I just think I enjoyed it because it was a sociable evening from the past. I'm not sure and it will cost me £8 or whatever to find out.

I feel like contacting old work mates for a meet up. You know the ones you stay in touch with for a few years after leaving, but soon find less and less people come to the organised meet-ups as the years go by. Last year was the first time most were not bothered and it never happened.

Feel like I need to look forward to a booked holiday to America again. Just like the holidays I had before. Need to make sure the same people want to come.

I could go on. There are so many feelings I have that relate to reliving past moments. As fortunate as I am currently am with health, money, wife and 2 children I'm still mildly sad on these evenings alone. My wife needs really early nights due to her job, but I never feel like going to bed till 11ish - Tonight especially late. Perhaps going to bed earlier would be a good idea.

I know I'm blabbering but if OCUK ain't a place to type this kinda stuff I don't know where is.

Let me get this straight. You find a night spent playing World of Warcraft, a recent computer game, both sociable and nostalgic?

Okay.
 
I think I did once yes. I Was playing with a few real life friends from a past job at the time. Time requirements lead to me leaving so that was the end of that. I've always played PC games and that was an enjoyable game to play as I'm sure it still is for some.

Nowadays my social activities out of work are going to the pub and that's pretty much it. Team Fortress Classic was a great time with friends too, but that was 8 years ago.

A group of 40 people playing for several hours of concentrated teamwork isn't sociable? (20 in newer instances)

And 4 years does not a recent game make.
