The Life Updates Thread!

[Dan D Lie N]

My boyfriend is still in cali to train marines, i passed all my classes and some dude slammed into my car after running a red light last night... i cant even open my door....

 

[Brunswick]

Let's see...since I've last been on here a lot has gone on in my life. Got a "promotion" (if you can call it that...) at work, dealing with all of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland offices and their IT support for the company I work for. So been ultra busy with work.

Been on several dates, all no success. gonk But plenty of fish in the sea, just gotta cast my reel out again. lol Currently have 2 prospects in my sight...so hopefully that works out. twisted

I fully converted from a PC/Windows person to a Mac guy. So I now have a iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro. whee Still work with Windows/Linux at work. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but just decided to go with something new.

Also, if you want to chat with me I cut off my AIM/MSN services. So the only thing I'm using now is e-mail/G-chat. I'll check my Gaia mail about every so often if you guys want to message me. That's it for me, nice to see everyone doing well!

Xikrai the Risen

It's not officially official yet, but I am graduated with my BS ins Computer Engineering Technology and a Minor in Computer Science. Best of all I am now an Ensign in the U.S. Navy. Sign the paperwork Thursday and it will finally be on paper! I'm done with school! At least for four months.

so you're full of computerized BS now, are you? xD (couldn't resist)

GRM, that's balls. :/ but from the sound of it, your a*****e family members are not exactly helping (and by that i mean the loud, aggressive a*****e that was dating tracy... she's great but her a*****e is not >_>)
... i hope it all works out because you're both great parents and i know you love eachother. smile plus, then we can double date! woot!
(also, i have a snowglobe for you, miss)

...uhh, lets see:
1) security guard downtown now, and i've been encouraged to think about the supervisor position that may be opening up soon. @_@ not sure i want it but we'll see.
2) will be paying for mortgage and saving for school next year: MOAR MONIES REQUIRED. =P i'll be looking to comic stores for a part time job.
3) uuhhh... life's been pretty alright thus far? at sean's apartment now (YAY! privacy!!!) <3 je suis content ^^
4) oh yeah, my dad had a heart attack. :/ not quite sure how to react to that one but he's doing okay now.
5) my friend is getting married and 'tis exciting.


ta daaa~ me life in a nutshell. haven't had much going for me on the personal side (atleast, aside from having a wonderful dude in my life and a general sense of value with friends lately) ... iunno. feels like i'm on auto pilot lately. *shrug* ...well, it does when home. that is all.

(also: Jaft - have you moved closer to irvana in your life lessons yet?
GTR - *high fives* rockin'. i guess being a smarty-pants is good for something razz
Keri: balls. sad *hug* it sucks for now, and it takes time to come back from feeling shitty but you've got people around for support. also, i thought i saw you on the subway a few weeks ago... toronto... well, atleast the lady with the gaia owl/wings-into-gloves hat reminded me a bit of you. but she kept lookin' at me funny everytime i looked over sweatdrop thought it best to leave her/possibly you alone)  

[God-Raped-Me]

Liz sounds like things are going well! It's been far too long since we've visited last, over a year now! Where are you planning to go to school?  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Irvana? I don't know that guy. Nice too c u around Lizberry.  

[God-The-RapistV2.0]

Two days. Sick.

cry  

[^^Psycha^^]

Well this semester a lot of stuff happened in my life...
1) My mom well almost ALL my family came to live with me...so I live with my family again crying
2)Im not in the football team anymore, thanks to some weird allergies.
3)I failed one class form seven I took this semester.
4)If everything goes well this next semester Im going to Hospitals in August.  

[Chexley]

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
There they are a'standing in a row!

On the 13th, I'll be going in for my vaginal biopsy.

I also received a letter from the radiologists' office who did my breast ultrasound. They "believe" the lump to be benign and that I need to come back in in 6 months' time to have a mammogram done to make sure nothing has changed for the worst.

"Give them a twist, a flick of the wrist!"
That's what the showman said!

You'll swoop from incredible highs when you're just glad to be alive,
to those lows when you wish you were dead.
And just when you start thinking that you've accepted who you are,
that changes,
too.

Oh wow, Liz. I assure you, that was not me. I've only been to Toronto twice, never left the airport, and it was in August. xD

Because who you are is not permanent.

 

[~DR.MOOFASA~]

GRM: pfft... haven't decided yet. either Seneca or Durham. all i know for now is that i need to make enough to help my mom with mortgage and still raise about $10 000 for tuition. gonk *supergonk*
...so, liek, we can haz play date? xD when are you guys going to be in town next? or shall i drag sean out with me next time he's over? ^^ (chances are he'll be dragging me, since the long distance bus thing makes me antsy)

Jaft: hehh... whoops, Nirvana, although i guess Mr Ana is a pretty swell also. and thanks ^^ good to be back and see you guys whenever i can. smile although i have to admit, i feel pretty out of touch when i finally DO come online @_@

GTR: why you sick? snap out of it! Walk it off! D:< ...also, Echenacia? (sp?)

Psycha: allergic to what? O_o footballs? ...actually, if it's grass it's not that uncomon. there was once a guy i went to school with who couldn't go outside when they mowed the grass because he was allergic to grass. he also didn't like cotton candy ... strange guy xD

Chex: sounds like good news so far smile and it's a good thing you're investigating now, atleast if something needs to be done it can be done soon (...that may have sounded very pessimistic, but some would consider you lucky so far. fingers crossed =3). also, how's Arc been doing? been a while since i've seen him, even when i have been on. hope you're both otherwise well. whee

Kerri: ho-s**t. well... i guess that means i freaked some poor woman out sweatdrop whoops. well maybe next time you're around it WILL be you that i'm eye-stalking xD if you see someweird girl staring at you, with curly brown hair and lookin' slightly frumpy, it might be me. watching... always watching. eek

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
There they are a'standing in a row!

@Moofa-fa: Heh, I hope there's nothing to be really concerned about. I've also been put on birth control to keep the severe pain of my periods down. I'll know sometime soon because today, I take the first of the reminder pills (which are a full dose of iron -- whoo for not become anemic!). I've been thinking that they're cause of my breast tenderness and not the lump(s).

I was just a little raw-nerved, having to wait almost 2 months. Going into the lady doctor was a big deal and when they called to let me know they found something, all's I did was cry and freak out, thinking something was wrong. I think I might have a few gray hairs from it. gonk

Also, Arc and I are no longer together, if you didn't hear. We broke up last year, in March, trying to hold onto each other after a huge fight in January. It was needed. From what I've heard, he's found someone else. As to his well-being and life, you'll have to talk to him because the news he has is not mine to tell.

Well, I suppose I'll give you guys an update on me. I haven't really used this thread yet, so here goes:

I'm still in the Navy. Yay! -_- On December 29th I arrived in Ontario, Canada to spend my holiday leave with YunieCookie. On the the 30th I proposed to her, and she said "Yes." We've spent the last week lovin' all over each other and just having a general happy time. After I peel myself away from Canada and it's chilly-but-honest happy times, I go back to work in Norfolk on my ship. I have a few short out-to-sea periods between then and May 11th, when I go on an eight-month deployment of doom. Eight months of no internet, -very- limited phone use, and no hanging-out-with-friends-and-loved-ones time. BUT, when I get back, next December, we go into the shipyard for a while, then more short out-to-sea times. All in all, though, this should be my own deployment before I go to shore duty.

But enough about the Navy. I'm engaged now, and completely immersed in happytiems. It's going to take a lot to doing to reverse my good mood. biggrin

 

[God-Raped-Me]

@ Liz: I'm not sure when we'll be around next. Life is hectic and it's about to get even more so again with school starting up tomorrow. I know we get a reading week at the end of March so possibly then. You have weekends off right?

So for the last few months GTR's father has been printing off bills and giving them to us. I'm quite fed up of him being able to hold s**t over our heads like that. So I have been thinking of getting a Koodo phone and saving some money and also sticking it to him that we don't need his a** for anything! Anyone here have one, or know of anyone who does and has stories for me?

Also, about a week ago daddy in law decided to yell at our kids for playing in the bathroom. Now I know children should NOT play in the bathroom but this is not what he said, (Oh this was on like the ONLY morning I was able to sleep in, I was out of bed at 9:30) "GET THE HELL OUT. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED IN THE BATHROOM!" Then kicked our children out. He then went downstairs and yelled at GTR saying that the kids aren't allowed in the bathrooms and that he needs to watch them better.

Now Guin is going through the potty training process, and is pretty close to being trained, and Lydia is fully trained so they need the bathroom. GTR tells him this and apparently the kids aren't allowed in there period. He said something about the kids flooding the bathroom and it leaking into the basement and ruining all s**t worthless s**t. So GTR flat out told him that if he didn't like it to move the ******** out. He lost his s**t and tried to rip a strip off GTR.

I forget what all was said next but he tried to say something along the lines that yelling at children doesn't do anything to them, and GTR, keeping up with my schooling, said that kids will think that you are angry at them and not their actions and unless you tell them differently they think you hate them. Father in law said that kids aren't that stupid and GTR said "it's not that they're stupid, they don't have that ability to know the difference yet." And he STILL tried to say that kids are just stupid then.

I want him to move the ******** out! We were thinking about moving out but we just don't have the money to right now and I'm not sure OSAP would pay for the cost of moving as well as the increase in rent and utilities. GTR and I are doing great though, we just need to lose some retarded old child who thinks he owns everything.  

[Shram]

So...
Life updates
whats happening to Shram the forgotten one then?
well, a lot yet very little at the same time.
I live in my own flat, but I get lonely so I have breakdowns, which has directly affected work.
Getting proffesional help as soon as possible.

Getting tired of this lifestyle so I am saving money, by next year I will be living in Canada regardless of my norwegian situation.

Feeling pressured from multiple sides, everyone wants me to be.. something, somewhere, somehow. and Generally the way they know to do it.
I am currently a carpenter, not by choice, but because my father found a spot for me and the government decided either I do that or I am considered a lazy useless person. which helps my choice of leaving, even if I am good at my job.
Speculations are if I can get a job as a security guard in Liz's company, preferably at a hands on site as I will tell people what their problem is.

on the bright side, still collect games, still in love with liz and I get to hang out with GRM and GTR more often if this goes well.
oh and I hopefully can arrange meetings with some other ATGers.  

[God-Raped-Me]

GRM loves this plan! I'm not sure, but we were thinking that when all of the schooling for myself and GTR is done we'll move closer to Liz, not IN the city as I can't stand them, but maybe to a small town near the city.
