Me, I'm looking forward to getting my new glasses.
And I'm looking forward to relaxing on the weekend, as last weekend, my brother and two of his friends were here for a visit, and that was stressy. So, no stress this weekend, just a massive pot of tea, one or two great books and an open fire.

And I'm looking forward to meeting a certain someone in a few weeks from now...

Looks I´m going to be the first to answer...hooray :)

I´m looking forward to the delicious dinner this evening, the weekend and the delicious things to be done then...

Also I´m looking forward to a possibly career enhancement...tell later

And please, send pics of you and your new glasses, I like glasses on women...really.

Am I right in guessing who you want to meet? ;)

I'm looking forward to the end of the school year next month, I could use a break from my kids.
And I'm looking forward to the school year starting in April, because after about 3 days I'll miss my students again. ;)

I'm looking forward to my fiancee returning to Japan in May.
I'm looking forward to going back to America for a visit in late July.

I'm really, really looking forward to my wedding in August... somewhat. I'm still not happy about the whole tux bit. :D

Hmm, yea, glasses are so hot!

On Friday night my rugby team is playing (Wellington Hurricanes) in Wellington for the first time this season so going to that will be good.

I'm looking forward to Saturday as it's me and my gf's 10month anniversary and spending time with her will be mint.

On Sunday morning, I'll be flying down to Christchurch with the first 11 cricket team to play a traditional three-day fixture vs St Bedes College. It should be a great experience.

Thinking ahead abit, on the 2nd of March is McEvedy shield day. This is when my school (St Pat's Town) goes up against St Pats Stream, Wellington College and Rongotai College in an athletics competition. Another fun day.

So yea, pretty busy weekend coming up.

Well yes I suppose. But I was going for process of elimination. Thats one down.

Well we had one successful meeting of NSers recently.....hopefully we'll have #2. Good luck and I hope you have a great time. Still, you should tell us.

There are a lot of Nser's I'd love to meet. I still say that if I ever win the lottery, I'm throwing a NS bash and flying everyone who wants to come to some big resort so we can all meet. We'll even have a huge arena so those debators can go at it!

That would be something to look forward to indeed. Imagine the massive debating in the middle and the small skirmishes on the sidelines...

Ok, I'll give you one hint : He does actually post on NS now and then...

Wouldnt it be cool? I' have t-shirts printed up with everyone's nation on the back. We could have kareoke, dancing, debates, excellent food,board games(yes i said board games people). A whole weekend of NS fun! I wonder how many hook ups there would be? Hmm....

well that narrows it down!

Edit: do they have two "L's" in their nations name?

I'm looking forward to this weekend because apparently my best friend has found some store in Greensboro that I, "just have to go to, because it's so great!"

Also, The end of the next school year for many reasons. Although, in the immediate future tonight because I'm cooking dinner which I love to do. And other things I won't mention.

ooh you got that sorted then? yay! :)


me, i'm looking forward to
a) Friday cos i'll be going to meet a very special NSer (for the 4th time now) after school (for her), probably going out for a meal or something (and probably a movie), and just generally looking forward to spending time with her again :fluffle:

b) Thursday (tomorrow!) cos i'll be getting my 30-day-all-day-all-night contacts fitted... will be able to see, to all intents and purposes, like a normal person! woot!

c) Sunday cos i'm flying up to Edinburgh for a couple of days for work. should be fun.

d) April because i get my drumkit then :D (amongst other fun things that might happen in april ;))

e) (edit) March 23rd cos i'll be seeing Pitchshifter live - one of me favourite bands (and meeting up with some old friends i haven't seen in months)... and also in that month (27th) is Amy's birthday too!

I'm off next week, so that's nice... Though first and foremost, I want to get better. I've got a fever, sore throat etc. you see. 40C/104F two days in a row takes it's toll. At least I'm "only" at 38C/100,4F right now...

You and I may have a different thing in mind when you say "debators can go at it".

Personally, I would look foward to bludgeoning NSrs that met up and actually debated.

Most simply, I am looking forward to, but have severe nerves about, my speech therapist appointment on monday. It was supposed to be today, but I am not feeling on top form. This isn't my first speech therapy appt, and it's not the specific reason I'm looking forward to it - but it's the first time I'll be going dressed as a female - and the first time I'll be going on my own, using public transport, and not taking a taxi to the door.

Of course that's not a walk in the park, particularly for someone as habitually nervous as I am.

To a conservative government over here in the UK.

To the war in iraq ending.
To a coalition of all right-wing parties.
To an end of the endless muslim riots over the cartoons.
To the apocalypse.
To the queen dying, charles commits suicide and will becoming queen.
To Camilla Parker-Bowles admitting she's a man in drag. (No need to worry Charles. Gay marriages are legal, y'know!)

Good luck-I hope it goes well.

I have done things over the course of my life where I was able to follow through-looking like I was doing what I was supposed to be doing. After a while, it became second nature. I'll add these werent things I was supposed to be doing, so you have an advantage there-you arent doing something wrong.

There is a way to help get your nerves under control-a breathing technique.

I know it exists, but dont know much about it. It might be worth looking into.

Thanks - my nerves are an odd thing. Once I'm actually on my way, I SHOULD be fine, it's just that build up of tension. I'm fairly sure I know the breathing technique... if it's the one designed to stem the amount of adrenaline flowing, or somesuch. It's not overly complex. My only "legitimate" worry is other people. Glasgow does have a bit of a gang culture. That said, my route is surprisingly quiet, despite the fact it heads right through the city centre.

Ah, no. I'm actually using public transport on principle. Whilst I am running a mild risk, put simply, I can't afford a car any time soon, and my situation won't be changing much. I can't avoid it forever, so why put it off?

A positive attitude is good. I was only trying to think of ways to make it easier on you,which I'm sure you've already considered many times.
I would also suggest maybe bringing a friend along, but I'm sure you've weighed that as an option as well.
Just be smart-be aware and I hope all goes smoothly for you.
