To being able to buy all of the parts for my new computer and putting it all together. I've already got the case, and the motherboard and harddrive are on their way.

Are you gonna snag a cheap AMD cpu? I mean for what I spent on my 1.8 GHz Opty(in Feb.), I could have gotten a 2.4 GHz x2 4800+.

Saturday. That's when I leave for my vacation.

I'm following Democratic Colonies' advice, as well as yours about the case. Antec Sonata II case. Got it on special deal from NewEgg for fifteen bucks less than their normal price, too.

A relief for my boredom. Though, since the point in time at which this shall be achieved is uncertain, I'm not sure if "looking forward" is the right word.

That, and the weekend, I suppose.

The Monterey Historics-getting paid to go to an event I've paid to go to in the past kicks so much monkey ass it's hard to fathom.

The Super 8mm camera I'm going to buy off eBay when I grow a pair of nads. That and a mule miniDV for log and capture and I can finally start making a fucking demo reel and stop being a lowly PA.

*goes off to play Madden '05*

Wow, that's 2004's game, man. Madden '06 has been out for ages, and 07's not far off. :p

What am I looking forward to? At the moment, getting a real replacement for the Hemispheres LP I damaged by accident.

What are you looking forward to?

Eating the whole thing.

Eating the whole thing.

How much are the guys paying you, eh? :p

There's a very good chance I'll get a copy of Madden 07 for the 360 for Alexander to sign but not have a 360. Which I suspect probably isn't terribly smart.

My goddam vacation! Falling asleep on the boat for hours at a time? Hell yeah!

I know but '06 sucks! I mean, I have it but I always play '05 instead :p. And as you said, '07 isn't out :).

Ewwwww.

You know something's up when someone who cuts himself has bad stuff to say about your particular thing. :D

I'm looking forward to Sixth Form, woohoo!

'06 is leaps and bounds ahead of '05... You just have to get used to the QB vision cone. And when you do, you can kick serious ass (you can actually check off Safeties and Cornerbacks!).

Retirement. I should get there in about 100 years or so.

But I can't get used to it. I should try harder, but ergh! For the time being I'll stick with '05.

Who are you talking about?

I am looking forward to finally getting to college. It will be my first year there, I will start my coursework and hopefully it won't be too hard, and hopefully, I will have time there to pursue some of my own interests as well. However, I recognize that my purpose for going to college is to get an education that will get me employed, I see no reason to waste tens of thousands of dollars to just please myself in the short run.

Who are you talking about?
Me= messed-up person reacting negatively to... Furry stuff.

But I can't get used to it. I should try harder, but ergh! For the time being I'll stick with '05.

You can turn it off, you know. :p

Yeh but then I may aswell be playing '05.. Which is what I do :p

Sports games... irony in a box.

The CPU is gonna cost half what it did at the time that thread was made. Always the wrong time to buy a computer.

Not :eek: but :mad: Actually kinda :(

A little bit of :confused: wouldn't go amiss there.

So nyah!

That was part of why I waited. I would have waited even longer, but the computer I'm currently using is close to exploding or otherwise rendering itself completely non-functional as it is.

The weekend!
I know it's only thursday night, but I'm off Fri and Sat, so for me this is Friday night! Woot!

I'm looking forward to getting my nose peirced, even tho I have no idea when that will happen.

Blue Angels tomorrow too. W00t. Today now I guess. W00t w00t.

Good timing for a change. (a box of chocolates to the one who knows what I'm talking about)

Moving out of home and into my (all mine! No flatmates or nonsense like that!) new (rented) flat over the weekend.
It took long enough, but, finally...

FREEDOM!

I'm looking forward to visiting my good friend Jose Cuervo tonight, along with a number of others who are much better conversationalists.

Tell the group Ruffy sends his regards.:D

Seeing Huw this weekend :) :fluffle:
Seeing a cute baby this afternoon :p
Going on holiday to France for two weeks next Saturday, with Huw joining on the Thursday evening :)
My leg stopping hurting :P
Going to college, even if it is kinda scary.

Lots of general things in my future :) I like life :)

the end of cheep and abundant energy and the environmental disaster that has resaulted from it. the end of gas strations and with them paved roads and the automobiles. the colapse of monetary economics and an end to human overpopulation.

most of these things i don't expect any good to come out of in my life time
but in envy, bordering on lust, those who will be born AFTER these things have taken place.

i look forward to an ever increasing disenchantment with the private passinger automobile and all that has been so gratuitously destroyed to kiss its tailpile.

i don't know how much of this i can expect to see in my lifetime either.

if people really had to pay the price of their having been made the primary means of transportation when they bought fuel at the pump, maybe more people whould have some slight idea of those real costs. but instead they are hidden in the defacto susidy to the oil and automotive industry in the form of their right of way, as opposed to that of every other mode of transportation, being paid for out of their tax dollars.

i look forward to people getting tired of being lied to an manipulated by economic interests which have no conscounse. i look forward to people waking up and realizing how much we've been stabbing ourselves in the back by using combustion to generate energy and propell transportation.

and that in reality we CAN have both of these things WITHOUT doing so. not, granted, in their most currently familiar forms, but in others as, if not more, convenient and gratifying.

i look forward to trees growing up between the cracks in the road.

i look forward to an end to the tyranny of the dominance of aggressiveness and people waking up and realizing just how much of a tyranny this really is and has been.

i look forward to a lot of things only a fraction of which i expect to see in what remains of my own lifetime.

I'll take that as an honorable mention.:p:D

Nothing particularly significant. Halo 3, KotOR 3, CoD 3 (lots of threes here you may note). Umm... a few weeks from now when with any luck my friends will be coming to stay (finally! People I actually like, as opposed to my family). In the more distant future, next year when I can go on CYFA camp again, with aforementioned friends. Still more distant; the day when I can move out and away from family... uuhhh... my gap year... death... that sorta stuff :)

I wish there were furry meets where I live... :(

Anyway... I look forward to the Nintendo Wii!

Blue Angels tomorrow too. W00t. Today now I guess. W00t w00t.
Blue Angels are so awesome!

There's an exhibit of Blue Angels in a flight pattern in a flight museum in Pensecola FL. After its opening, a pilot for the Blue Angels saw it and kept looking at it funny. Finally, the musuem director asked if there was something wrong with how the planes were hung from the ceiling. "The exhibit is fine," he said "It's just that we fly closer together than that." (There could not have been more than 4 feet between the wings!!)

Hope you enjoy them as much as I always do.

Altho, as my bro would be quick to point out, the Blue Angels can't hover.

*steals a piece of chocolate from the box*

Does anyone EVER know what you're talking about???

You know me so well.. :eek:

What am I looking forward to?

Philly!

Not yet, not. But I get the feeling she would if she saw it, so if you would please refrain from stealing the chocolates, mmkay. Thanks.

I follow the patterns.:p

this week- Saturday, we get to go to dinner with my friend and her husband. She is cooking a 100% gluten free dinner for us, and is even making dairy and gluten free ice cream so that nobody is left out during dessert (hubby can't have dairy :()

this month- I get to go to another minor league baseball game on the 18th

this quarter- (yeah, I am dorky and break the year into quarters rather than seasons) the annual hayride and bonfire, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my birthday (but not in that order)

I wish there were furry meets where I live... :(

Anyway... I look forward to the Nintendo Wii!

I live in southern Michigan, about halfway between MFF and AC, so it'll be a good 4-6 hour drive to them both. If Super Smash Brothers Brawl is good, I'll get a Wii. And if a Shadow of the Colossus 2 is made :)

Not yet, not. But I get the feeling she would if she saw it, so if you would please refrain from stealing the chocolates, mmkay. Thanks.
*sigh*

Well, I already took one of the chocolates. Here, give her this fresh unopened box of chocolates. *gives FD new box of chocolates*

I could, but it wouldn't be very good for me. Anyone who would like a piece of chocolate, help yourself!
