Since NSG tends to attract many 'oh my life is teh sux gimme advice' type threads, I like to balance it out every once and a while with a feel good thread.

So what's going right for you lately? Not even overall, maybe overall things kind of suck right now, but what DOESN'T suck?

For me, things going right:
- Avoided an accident this morning with my fantastic driving skills and a little bit of presentiment
- I'm having a great hair day :D
- I got a late scholarship for $1500, which although will disappear into the black hole of my debt is nonetheless rather thrilling.
- I'm crazy about a very wonderful man.
- I'm taking a four month vacation from school and work this summer to go on the powwow trail.

I'm healing up nicely, and there shouldn't be any permanent damage.

Uhm... my sore throat is finally getting better and my cold is almost gone which means I get to go back to work tomorrow. Yay.

I'm healing up nicely, and there shouldn't be any permanent damage.
!!! What happened?

i love glitziness, that's good :) (and will be seeing her tomorrow yay!)

i managed to get home from work before dark tonight


that's about it i think

oh and i installed our new 1tb gigabit NAS in the office without any problems

Uhm... my sore throat is finally getting better and my cold is almost gone which means I get to go back to work tomorrow. Yay.

I can just sense the enthusiasm bubbling over :D

I got my new membership card to the local science museum in the mail today, also got a card that says there is something at the post office for me and it's not a certified letter :D it's a package!!!!!

I picked up a ton of movies last night that I needed in my collection (okay about 8, but they were all on sale!)

Tonight I get to go hang out with my Mensa group and eat food that's probably not good for me.

I picked up a modest yet classy dress for my kid and I am pretty sure it will fit her and her personality, and it was on sale.

I found a groovy new shirt and I am wearing it and it's 100% cotton, so it's soooooo comfortable.

and my dog got a good report from the vet!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

there are 3 parties this weekend, wich means fun fun fun. and we have a day off from school friday, wich is also nice. and tomorrow i can sleep as long as i like.

Going right?

Actually life has been treating me good lately (long time for a change).
-I have a flat of my own. (I have a flat period.)
-I'm pretty much recovered from my ACL
- (I hope I don't jinx myself mentioning this) Everyone's allergies hit last Tuesday, mine haven't. I have horrible allergies.
-I got to listen to Dan Savage speak and I met him after.
-Last month I had money for everything I needed (this month is sa bit slim).
-My responsibilities at my job are increasing.
-The business where I work/play on the weekends is open again.

Certified letters suck.

Hooray for cool yet comfy clothes!

Healthy animals are fantastic.

I can just sense the enthusiasm bubbling over :D

Well, two weeks of primary care with a 45 minute train and tram commute away doesn't exactly blow my socks off. Luckily, I know tonnes of people over there and have already made plans for tonnes of fun stuff almost every day after work, so consider me consoled.

-I got to listen to Dan Savage speak and I met him after.
Isn't he awesome? And cute, very cute. I met him after a talk he gave when he was promoting his book about...oh 5 years ago? Someone asked him what he'd be doing if he weren't a sex columnist, and he mentioned union organising, so I said something about McDonalds...he came and saw me after and we talked unions for an hour. 'Twas fantastic.

-I'm pretty much recovered from my ACL

Ligamentum cruciatum anterior?

-I got to listen to Dan Savage speak and I met him after.

I hate you and I am jealous as all hell.

!!! What happened?

Traffic accident.

I will say no more, as this thread is about having a good time.

Certified letters suck.
yeah, always.

Hooray for cool yet comfy clothes!
it's like this....http://www.sunshinegraphicsinc.com/images/galleryimages/schoolhouse.jpg

Healthy animals are fantastic.
yeah, he has arthritis, and we were trying a new medicine and it's working. :D

Traffic accident.

I will say no more, as this thread is about having a good time.

Please hon, this thread is a blatant chat thread, and we all know it. Tell, tell!

And then top it off with a feel good moment, and it'll be fine.

I got a $0.68 check in the mail today. YAY I'm rich!!

It gave me a good laugh.

Ligamentum cruciatum anterior?
One and the same.

I hate you and I am jealous as all hell.
As well you should be.:D

I got a $0.68 check in the mail today. YAY I'm rich!!

It gave me a good laugh.

Kehehehe, doesn't even cover postage and the cost of cutting the cheque.

Gotta love bureaucracy!

Recovering from an annoying sinus infection. Otherwise still breathing. Sinus infections for me means standing over the nearest sink watching a steadily increasing pool of blood.

I broke up from uni last week for my easter holiday (5 weeks), so I'll be seeing lots of old friends in the next few weeks. Shame I have a lot of work to do also.

the previous two months were awful,complete with death,disease,broken bone,bills,fights and lost a toenail.
probably a few more things I cant remember.

Its only improving now,so I guess things are starting to go right again.

Otherwise still breathing. Sinus infections for me means standing over the nearest sink watching a steadily increasing pool of blood.

Christ on a stick....

Well, I'm finally getting the hang of fencing, after two months of getting my ass kicked.

For me, things going right:

-Gave my bi-yearly presentation to my graduate program and did not completely humiliate myself

-Can do twice as many push-ups this month as last month

-Himself won a $5000 bonus at work for doing a fantastic job on his most recent campaign, which means Himself pays off much credit card debt, which means Himself is muchly joyful and strongly inclined to play naughty games with me

-Mom came through her recent surgery with flying colors and no ill aftereffects (hooray!)

-Finally got the hang of spinning while doing a grab in SSX using the damn Wii remotes

Its only improving now,so I guess things are starting to go right again.

Good to hear it, Carn. Hope things are nothing but good from now on!

Someone asked him what he'd be doing if he weren't a sex columnist, and he mentioned union organising, so I said something about McDonalds...he came and saw me after and we talked unions for an hour.

He is truly wonderful. And yes, very cute. (If he breaks up with his boyfriend, I'm getting a sex change.)

You got to talk to him for an hour? Luckey!

I figured I could either ask him for an autograph or I could thank him for writing his column. It really helped me during my teen and young adult years. Unlike most people I wasn't born with a sexual road map, his column made me realise that I wasn't a freak because of it (or at least no more a freak than the furries). So I said my thing, and we danced around, then I turned to leave so I didn't make an ass out of myself.


Unfortunately my exit path was through the first row of chairs.

I'm doing well at work. I got a good review recently and I helped save the company some money which is keeping my boss kind of happy.

- I'm crazy about a very wonderful man.Why, thank you! :p

Let's see, things that don't suck right now.
- I almost got run over by a car today, but I was lucky and took the opportunity to cuss like a sailor.
- I found a lady's handbag in the bank and handed it to the teller.
- I'm broke but I'm still within the overdraft limit.
- I just ate a pizza.
- This afternoon I had a nice meeting with a lady friend of mine over a cup of coffee/tea.

Now, had you asked about the bad things that happened today, the list would be thrice as long and would include very unpleasant things, none of which could really be countered by the good things that occurred. Meh. Sucks!

um, my clients network isnt as slow anymore?

man, thats just pathetic.

Oh, I fell on my longboard this morning. My board shot into traffic, but people were nice enough to stop. Also, I didn't spill my full cup of coffee when I went down.

I attribute it all to the awesome super-powers of Dan Savage.
Sorry, I have to do the fangirl thing for a bit.

Well the lady that was interested in buying a photo of mine told me they now might want to buy two of my photos, and that's just a major ego boost!

Other than that, nothing is going right, or wrong, for that matter. It's just going.

My life if going up and down lately..

Unfortunately my exit path was through the first row of chairs.

Great story:)

Yes, a whole hour at the bar, it was great! Sure, people were coming up and talking to him during that, but he was pretty focused on the topic...had some great ideas about how to push for unions at MacDonalds. So not only is he cute, and funny and wicked, he has great politics. I offered to be his roadie fag hag/union organiser and he said he always wanted one of those :D

why do you bleed when you have a sinus infection?

update on my life: my paper is going better than i anticipated. i'll stop now and continue tomorrow. wich is good.

I'm doing well at work. I got a good review recently and I helped save the company some money which is keeping my boss kind of happy.

I'm glad loan sharking is going so well for you!:p

Do you get bonuses for kneecapping past a certain quota?

Today was quite boring. The only good thing in the near future is that tomorrow Blind Guardian is going to play here in my city.

Well, I got my new cell phone in the mail today, and unlike its predecessor, it actually gets reception at my house, which is definitely nice. (It's also a ridiculously pretty little gadget, which is pleasing to my inner technophile. I doubt I'll actually use it for anything other than making and receiving phone calls, but the fact that I could download music and take photos and watch TV shows and so on and so forth is sort of exciting nonetheless.)

Also, the weather has been more pleasant lately than it has been in some time, which means I can spend more time outside with my dog. That's always good. :)

I'm getting a permanent contract with the company I work for
I've got the possibility to get additional qualification which will positively affect my salary
I'm in love, and he's the best guy in the whole wide world :D

On the downside, my housemate is moving out and I'll need to find a replacement for her. Any takers?

Very, very cool.

Very, very cool.

I also loved how he described first meeting his husband (not sure if they are officially married mind you) and noticing that he had this wonderful muppet mouth that looked like it could fit a dick going in sideways :D

Lets see,

My freelancing hasn't quite sucked as much as it has in the past, especially around this time. I worked through December and January and Febuary with a tad bit of just spendin' cash on me. They've been paying good for me, which albiet isn't that much but that just means when it's enough you feel that extra bit happier. Though I did go into feast and famine mode and blew a stack a little early, so I'm dead broke waiting for Thursday at the latest, but I have some of my earlier extravences to hold me over.

I got to use my beloved Veronica ('67 VW Bus) in regular service when The Lego ('85 VW Vanagon) crapped out on me, and man did I miss driving that little thing, troubles and all. AND I found maybe the bestest VW mechanic to date. Seriously love this guy, I might get his shop name tatooed on my forehead.

The new digs so far have been more or less trouble free and has allowed me to forego the usuall long drive commute and instead take public transportation saving me over $160 this month. Taking public transportation willingly instead of because your van crapped out is a whole new animal.

Found a cool shirt I'm totally going to buy.

On the personal front went through some minor rough spots and still happy as ever, so that's cool.

Usually I would say I wish I was making more money, but I am. Still could make a little more to not be so close to the wire, but if things continue on thier trend (and they never do) I might have...what do you guys call that? When you have money that you don't have to use right away so you put it somewhere for when you might need it or to make big purchases...oh, yeah, savings. I might have some of that. Then I can buy a top hat and monocle that I drop in suprise when someone mentions something shocking.

I'm glad loan sharking is going so well for you!:p

Do you get bonuses for kneecapping past a certain quota?

I wish I was into that. You can wear whatever you want, do business in bars and nightclubs and work flexible hours.

Recovering from an annoying sinus infection. Otherwise still breathing. Sinus infections for me means standing over the nearest sink watching a steadily increasing pool of blood.

Major nosebleeds? I was the same exact way. I even had this intense pressure on my eye that went away when my nose started to bleed (And no, not from high blood pressure.).

Hehehehehe

I also loved how he described first meeting his husband (not sure if they are officially married mind you) and noticing that he had this wonderful muppet mouth that looked like it could fit a dick going in sideways :D

He was calling him his boyfriend at the show. Washington State doesn't allow gay marriage unfortunately. I liked his rant a week ago on his podcast about the word "faggot."

Five-year anniversary with my gf is this Saturday, so I guess that's something.

*sigh* Damn, I really need a life.

It's been a few years, could be he was saying boyfriend then too...this was soon after they adopted their son.

Getting the hell off NS might help.




Of course, that's not something any of us are about to do.

Say something else, and I'll bash you for it, that might be fun :p

So what's going right for you lately? Not even overall, maybe overall things kind of suck right now, but what DOESN'T suck?just fixed a color laserjet printer.

1) I've never seen this type of printer before, much less worked on one.
2) the damage is such that the static film was torn, a spring was busted, a gear holder was loose (and sitting next to the printer) and several rollers were drastically misaligned (as in one side was off.)
3) I was armed with only one screwdriver. (too lazy to walk back to my office for my toolkit.)
4) the damage was such that the printer was inoperative

and I fixed it to operational status using one screwdriver, a couple of Jumbo Paper Clips and two pieces of scotch tape.

Everything. Work's good, my computer is working like it should, the weather is perfect and my responsibilities are slim to none. Life couldn't get much better.

Sure it could, you could have a pair of sluts giving you a rubdown!

I'm still in love with my new job :D

...and I got myself some chocolate today. That was good ;)

Mmmm... Chocolate :fluffle:

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, FOO'?? :eek:

I know you've got Kinder Surprise chocolate! You're peachy, dude!

:p

Yikes, I'm going, if only till tomorrow. :p


Say something else, and I'll bash you for it, that might be fun :p

You should've said, "Say anything else, and I'll bash you for it." That's pretty much how it works, isn't it? ;)

Oh please:rolleyes:, you can't handle the fact that I smash your pathetic attempts at debate on a fairly consistent basis. I know it must hurt you to be so wrong, so often, but you'll live.

Like that?:D

Yes, exactly like that.

And that's the first time, I do believe, that you've been correct in any of our exchanges here. :p

And that's the first time, I do believe, that you've been correct in any of our exchanges here. :p

It's good that you can admit your shortcomings, and concede your losses to me in such a polite manner. I think you're showing real improvement here!

Have wonderful, supportive, lovely boyfriend :) and get to see him tomorrow! :)
Recently got all As in my January exams, so really happy about that - big relief!
Recovered from horrible flu I've had for 2 weeks, and extra bonus - pretty much caught up on all the work missed already, so yay!
Easter holidays soon, and my birthday in a weeks time! :D (with a being-spoilt shopping trip this weekend :P)
Have a gorgeously decorated room which I adore :)
Helped people with Psychology stuff today, so feel good about that. Love being able to help people understand things - part of me thinks I'd love being a teacher...
Love being back at college with my friends, and having wonderful fun!
Quite looking forward to a university convention on Thursday and getting to look at all the prospectus's (grammar?) and stuff.
Had very scrummy chicken noodle soup made by my dad earlier.

Quite a lot of pretty damn good things actually, thank you! :)

I was referring only to this bit of your post:
God I want you Neesika, you sexy vixen you!:p
Bah, stop trying to flirt with me. Hahahhaahhahahaha...

Sure it could, you could have a pair of sluts giving you a rubdown!

notice I didn't say life couldn't get any better.:p

Bah, stop trying to flirt with me. Hahahhaahhahahaha...

:confused:

I never just try. I do.

I never just try. I do.

It's just that I'm sorry, I couldn't bring myself to have sex with a Republican. I do have standards you know.

Now I want falafel, jerk.

Good things...I don't have to stay in this country, that's all that spring to mind.

I wrote this totally awesome poem in Creative Writing:
"I Hate Rhyme"
I'm really out of luck
Becasue you want me to rhyme
I can't do a decent rhyme
I don't even like to rhyme
Why do you like to rhyme?
I don't want to rhyme
I hate my rhyme
More than I hate your rhyme
I don't want to rhyme
I really hate to rhyme
I can't do a decent rhyme
And I don't even like to rhyme.
Can't I write without a rhyme?
Why do I really need to rhyme?
Would it be better with a rhyme?
Would it be worse without a rhyme?
You know that I ca't rhyme.
You just like to make me rhyme
Just to watch me fail at rhyme.
Because you really love to rhyme
You like to torture me with rhyme
When you know that I don't like to rhyme
I don't want to rhyme
Why don't you just go and rhyme
All by yourself so you can rhyme
And stop forcing me to rhyme
Go away and write your rhyme
Go away becasue you suck.

Muah ha ha.

I ntoher news today... I've been working a little more on Persephone Skye. :)

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, FOO'?? :eek:

Just save the yellow egg - you can hide... stuff... in it. *Looks all innocent-like*

I recently bought my first home.

I would too... *sniff* I would too. ;)

Just save the yellow egg {- you can hide... stuff... in it. *Looks all innocent-like*}

As soon as I saw the yellow egg I thought of the same thing.

I had a good weekend.
Next week, the teachers will lift assigned seating in the cafeteria.
There was good weather today.

Erm...

Oooh, the nice man at the New Deal office gave me £1 too much for my expenses today.

Yep, that really is the best thing that's happened to me in the last few months.

Oooh, this thread really cheered me up, cause i thought my life was rather shitty atm (due to a certain guy) till i thought about all the good things.

So good things are:

Got my highest score ever in a trampolining competition (5.8) and edinburgh won the scottish lueage!!! WOOOO!!!!! We have big trophy :D

I DIDNT win the turner prize at the annual general meeting for trampolining

I have pretty much bugger all to do this week except pack to go home

I think i may have found a flat for next year in a really nice area

I didnt have a hangover this morning despite really really deserving one (i drowned my sorrows of last night in two bottles of wine, then it all came back up again cause i puke when i cry and drink)

Im going to a celidh with my sister tomorow night, and they are always fun

I have discovered that i am actually rather good at the trapeze (i do a good mermaid and gazelle supposedly)


Wow, thats lots of good things. That so totally makes up for the being rejected by the guy i have fancied all term.

There was good weather today.

Lucky, its currently minus 2 here.... Dear goodness is it cold!!!

When I headed back from the US, I missed my flight by a few minutes. It resulted in me heading to Cincinatti from Charlottesville and from there to Atlanta to catch my flight to Paris and then Berlin. Apparently Delta garbled things up so badly, that I was scheduled to arrive a few hours after I actually did.

And so as I said to my mom when she berated me saying I could have had to pay a thousand dollars to get home: "But I didn't and I got here early."

1. I realized the lord still loves me even though I am transgendered.
2. I went to the heart doctor for a check up and got a good report.
3. Even though I have lost most of my blood kin because of my transition, I now have people who love me as if I have always been a member of their family.
4. I have a home and food to eat every day.
5. Finally I have all of you folks from differant places that I can interact with and learn new things from, that I may have never known otherwise.

Life, love, and awesome friends. :D

i have had the pleasure of reconnecting with 2 women that i have not seen or spoke to in 15 years and 2 years respectively.
the girl i have not seen in 15 years,i adored..she was married,and i eventually did.we were great friends.she moved away because of her husband(who had real bad blood with my brother)
i moved to the area she moved to 15 years ago about 6 years ago.
i was at lunch at a local restaurant/bar and lo and behold...she is the waitress.
she is divorced,and we are going out to dinner next week.i will never say never again!
she is the nicest person i have ever met.

how's that for something positive?

i was so busy raising my kids i have not had time for myself(relationships)(for the last 6 years or so..no time for bars and whatnot)all of the sudden,my daughter is off to school,my boy is off to the army...and bam,i run into her.
after my divorce..i swore i would never get seriously involved in a relationship...now i am day dreaming.
just got the email from her...signed..missed you and still love you...i am gonna be a very pleasant person soon methinks...since i have been a schoolgirl lately..i have realised how grouchy and mean i have been.

nice thread....i could write all day.

i have grass growing in my yard! i put in plugs last fall and am naturally worried about it growing well since i live in the desert. so far so good.

my seedlings are ready to plant any day now. im almost certain we're past the frost free date. this will be my first vegetable garden in a long time. tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, muskmelons, peas and beans.

Go away becasue you suck.

Muah ha ha.

I ntoher news today... I've been working a little more on Persephone Skye. :)

i like it! think your teacher will as well?

I beat the first Ratchet and Clank and bought the new expansion to The Sims 2. I also have a coffee...those have got to count for something.

Erm....well there's...oh, wait....there's...no, that's not.....erm.....the muffin I'm eating right now tastes nice?

Well let's see:

- I'm eating some pizza right now
- My calculus teacher just went over what will be on the test and now I'm more confident that I'll do well.
- I went to my public speaking class which is always fun because my instructor is insane but funny.
- Spring break is after next week, which is a huge relief since my midterms will be over.

Life is kinda sucks right now, but at least I'll get some rest after next week.:)

Life's good for me. Took 2nd at the State Debate tournament in LD, 1st in a speech event. (so I'm a geek. Sue me.)

My last chemistry lab of the semester (and depending on whether I am able to transfer to SFU as a second year or first year, of my life).
Only two weeks until the exam period.
Only two more weeks of chemistry classes (again depending on SFU).
Got 100% on my last Physics and Linear Algebra assignments.
I haven't borked anything serious on my computer recently, so I have had time to get some pointless eye-candy working.
Setup dual monitors on my computer.
One of my teachers moved the due date for the weekly homework, so my workload of the week is more balanced.
Last chem lab was today.

Life's good for me. Took 2nd at the State Debate tournament in LD, 1st in a speech event. (so I'm a geek. Sue me.)

We took first in NAQT locals last year...that's almost as geeky as debate (which I did do a little of but never really got in to).

Well, the weather's nice.

Well besides the negatives (best friend dying, fiancee breaking up with me...) I had a kick ass birthday party, and I'm getting a better job.

I like this thread. I like positive thinking. I'll add my happiness.

I get free Italian Ice tomorrow (ritasice.com for details on how you can get some too)
Today was a plesant day.
My sister was nice and not bitchy when I drove her to her dance class today.
I had a good spring break despite tons of stress.
All of my elite eight teams are still alive in my NCAA bracket. I might win the pool, and I will almost certainly do better than my mother.
I was recently shown (not just told) that my friendship meant a lot to someone who I didn't realize thought so highly of me.

I know that most of this is shallow, superficial and trivial, but I don't care.

It's spring break! That's something! And, things are better with the acting, but they still suck, and they probably always will suck, because that's what happens when you pick a really idiotic career path. But Into the Woods is an amazing musical, and I now officially watch a snippet of it every five minutes. And my friends are amazing, and my dad's taking me to see "Cats", and I finally went for a run, and last week I was having trouble forcing myself to eat, but this week I like food again, and I know my butt is ridiculously hot, and I got these great shoes to go with my prom dress, and I get to watch the Colbert Report and South Park tonight, and I'm learning to speak sign language, and I'm getting like 98% in Compartive Civilisations, and we're about to do Hamlet in Lit, and...


...and five minutes ago I was crying, but I'm starting to feel better.

Everything :)

Hm.

Well, I finally got my degree certificate.

I've been wise with money and I have a bit of cash stashed away.

I've got a roof over my head and food to eat.

...And S.T.A.L.K.E.R is released this weekend :D

I've got a game of Supreme Commander organised tonight, too, which is cool.

And today is warm and sunny, wheras yesterday was very cold.

So what's going right for you lately?

I'm alive and healthy.

;)

When I finally get off my arse, I'll be heading over to Dunkin' Donuts, where they're giving away free iced coffees! :D

My children are healthy, happy, and having fun in school.

I just spent 24 hours in the United States and I feel only mild contempt.

...And S.T.A.L.K.E.R is released this weekend :D

Oh, I didn't know that - i'd always thought that one was vaporware. I might fetch myself a copy (i'll check reviews first...).

I haven't tried the multiplayer on that yet. The singleplayer is ok...the campaigns are poor but skirmish is fun.

Nice thread, Sin. Let's see..


Schedule for next uni semester is as good as fixed, and it looks like I'll be terribly busy, but I seem to be able to do every class I wanted / needed, which is a first.


At the moment, it looks like I'll be having enough money for a while now to start buying groceries the way I want to, instead of having to go for the grown-and-processed-under-terrible-conditions-but-cheap ones.


I live with five people, one of whom I adore, one of whom I'm very close friends with, one of whom I can spend hours and hours talking with, one of whom I'm just starting to get to know, but who promises to be very interesting, and one of whom.. well, does me a favor by being absent most of the time.


We finally have a microwave again.


I've been blessed with a friend who's giving me quite a lot more than I thought a friendship could/would give me these days - and he gives me the feeling that I can give him the same back.


I've found a nicer, less exhausting way I can use to bike to uni than the one I used before.


Knut (http://pix.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/artikel/386/106280/image_fmabspic_0_0-1174323560.jpg) shall (http://pix.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/artikel/207/106101/image_fmabspic_0_0-1174294864.jpg) live (http://www.mittelbayerische.de/newsbilder/afpbilder/2007/03/19/CPS.CDH88.190307162012.photo00.photo.default-512x328.jpg)! .. that, and I've been given some pictures of him I shall now proceed to pin on my wall.


I've finally bought a motif puncher. Yes, I'm pathetic that way, but it made me happy for days now. Love those things, just love 'em.


After six weeks of being tormented every day, I am now officially considered to be able to read Latin. Never has a bigger mistake been made, but all I need is that paper that says I can, and I'll fetch just that tomorrow.


I'm officially an adult in every way, all my previous convictions are null and void, and.. wait, what did I just say? ;P


I've finally found a brand represented in the stores around me that makes raspberry yoghurt that comes in those 500g jars (and that is yummy). They also make milk chocolate yoghurt. Oh yes.


Generally, life is very busy, very exhausting, and very demanding, but also terribly exciting and rather great. Any other questions you'd like to ask the witness, Your Honour?

My children are healthy, happy, and having fun in school.

This is one I'll echo, as its so true and exactly what matters ost to me. The rest is just details that can be dealt with.
Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, I didn't know that - i'd always thought that one was vaporware. I might fetch myself a copy (i'll check reviews first...).
Reviews so far are favourable, mostly about the mid-80s. The PC Gamer UK review was very good and gave 87%, quelled quite a few fears I had about it.

I haven't tried the multiplayer on that yet. The singleplayer is ok...the campaigns are poor but skirmish is fun.

It's good. Similar to TA, as you'd expect, but I tend to play this on smaller maps so it's much faster and more vicious. Scouting and intel are key, with lots of tanks and planes being second :)
I don't know if the time difference and distance between Oz and Blighty would leave the game playable, but if you want to try ever...

When I headed back from the US, I missed my flight by a few minutes. It resulted in me heading to Cincinatti from Charlottesville and from there to Atlanta to catch my flight to Paris and then Berlin. Apparently Delta garbled things up so badly, that I was scheduled to arrive a few hours after I actually did.

And so as I said to my mom when she berated me saying I could have had to pay a thousand dollars to get home: "But I didn't and I got here early."
Are you back for good, or just visiting?

Erm....well there's...oh, wait....there's...no, that's not.....erm.....the muffin I'm eating right now tastes nice?

You rock, Nadkor, and it's been a pleasure interacting with your on NSG over the past couple of years!

There, now you have my affection for you AND a good muffin!

I just spent 24 hours in the United States and I feel only mild contempt.

!!! I need details! And only mild contempt? I need LOTS of details!

Generally, life is very busy, very exhausting, and very demanding, but also terribly exciting and rather great. Any other questions you'd like to ask the witness, Your Honour?

As a matter of fact, yes...when are you planning on finally visiting me here in Canada?

Okay, okay, I'll settle for you actually being on MSN more. I have all sort of new vocabulary to excite you with.

Y'know, Neesika, there is that neat little multi-quote function you can use... :p

That's the thing...sometimes we just need to hit 'reset' and get some perspective.

I'm incredibly excited about my daughter starting school (at an Arts school, where she can dance as much as she wants, which seems to be quite a lot) in September, and about getting the chance to spend four months with my girls. Four months of camping, visiting family, and just immersing them in my culture, because I've felt that this aspect in particular has been lacking.

All the other shit, the backstabbing cockroaches at law school, the stress, the bleh, the blah...whatever. It'll pass.

Y'know, Neesika, there is that neat little multi-quote function you can use... :p

Shut up. Every poster I'm replying to deserves my whole attention, not to be shared with a bunch of other posters. Except you. You certainly don't deserve this reply. In fact, I think I won't even bother hitting 'Submit" ----

Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice edit on your part, though. heh-heh

So, what's going right with you? You've finally got a clue and turned away from your disgusting right-wing, flag-waving tendancies? Perhaps I should say, what's going left with you? Because if your answer is 'nothing', I really have nothing nice to say to you at all.

Ha, I had wicked falafel last night, courtesy of a nice Halal bakery downtown.

Um...I thought we went through this yesterday. I'm not right-wing. But if it entertains you to think that I am, feel free to go ahead.

I make my own falafel, and it's damn tasty! [insert smiley here that would give away the fact that there's white text]

Pleasuring yourself while reading the dictionary is a fantastic learning strategy!

Sheesh...it's Webster's Dictionary, not Wanker's. :p

Whatever, many of your positions are either completely unsupportable, or repugnant. Thus I dub thee right wing.

I happen to be a fantastic cook who is just too damn busy to make meals, so relies on the work of others to feed her. Got a problem with that?

You rock, Nadkor, and it's been a pleasure interacting with your on NSG over the past couple of years!

There, now you have my affection for you AND a good muffin!

Heh, thanks.

Even if this post comes with a healthy dose of scepticism :p

You and your forty different posting names! Sheesh!

Oooo-kay.. *backs away slowly*

Sounds good, but dont immerse them too much-we dont need any more bitter,over opinionated shrikes squeaking.

:p

Oooo-kay.. *backs away slowly*

Listen, I delete my post and you delete yours? Damnit, damnit, damnit, I forgot all about auto-login with different names after involuntary disconnection and stuff.. come on, you know you just want to have a little secret with me! ..

Too late! You've been outted! :p

Heh, thanks.

Even if this post comes with a healthy dose of scepticism :p

Oh come on now, Nadkor...you should have enough experience with me to realise that when I don't like someone...hell, even when someone irritates me somewhat...I don't 'play nice'.

So when I say I think you're fantastic, no scepticism is needed!

Too late! You've been outted! :p

That's more than eight years ago now.. you sure are running late with your news tonight.

Nice of you to label me. Sorry if many of my positions don't agree with yours, but slapping the right-wing label on me is ignorant in the extreme. I could dub thee "extreme left-wing racist" based on some of your posts, but then, I'm not about categorising people based on silly things like "oh, you have X opinion on this issue, so you must be [insert political label here]."

Even when I was working and coaching, I made time to cook for the fam. [insert tongue-sticky-outty smiley here]

Nothing doing. You are unmasked! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Sounds good, but dont immerse them too much-we dont need any more bitter,over opinionated shrikes squeaking.

:p

Yes, yes we do.

Then again, it's not my culture that makes me bitter...it's yours. Ha!

Too late! You've been outted! :p

Damn, beat me to it!

Yes, yes we do.

Then again, it's not my culture that makes me bitter...it's yours. Ha!

very good-very good indeed....for a feral child.

You know I'm kidding with you, Neesika. I think you'd be surprised to know how similar our ways of life and values are. I dont mean our respective peoples,in general,I mean you and I.

But,at the same time, the differences are different enough for me to consider keeping you in a cage at night.

:p Still kidding,but I always do that with people I like.

I dunno. I think Neesika in a cage might be hot. :p

But,at the same time, the differences are different enough for me to consider keeping you in a cage at night.

Careful there, chances are she'll like it and you never get rid of her again.

Oh hush, I know that. But it's fun to just stick 'redneck USian' on your forehead and proceed accordingly. Don't ruin it.

But,at the same time, the differences are different enough for me to consider keeping you in a cage at night. That has nothing to do about differences, and much more to do with preferences. And I like the idea quite a lot.

Well if you're just talking catch and release, I'll have no part of it. Damned redneck!

Lots of things have gone right today:

I went down to the doctors for just a random checkup and they found the cause of a problem that had been bugging me for a while and i had had tests for before. Its just low blood pressure!!!!! All i need to do to become perminantly concious is to eat more salt, wear tighter socks and have lots of pillows!

I got the results back for my maths tests today aswell, in one i got 90% and in the other i discovered that you didnt actually have to pass the coursework to pass the course, you just need a 40% average.

I discovered that i can infact cycle while holding a textbook.

I have stopped feeling as miserable about a certain guy, and realised that life does infact go on, and he was probably too old for me anyway.

Im going to see my mummy back home in 3 days :D (or more importantly my mummy's cooking and credit card).

I got trampolining tonight, and thats just the most ludicrously fun sport in the world. And its the last session so i will probably be allowed to do somersaults :D:D

Well, I am free and unburdened by any hope of getting laid. That's a load off my mind. Gives me more time for NSG!

Have you taken my advice yet? Or do I need to take up a collection like I threatened? Because I'm telling you right now, I will, on this forum in fact.

Pests or pets? ;)

And with that, I'm off for my afternoon nap. Ciao! :D

pets...hmmm...hadnt thought of it that way.

Well, I've made Deans List again, which is a rather pleasant fact. I'm heading off for an internship in Washington in three days, my "complicated one" Katie is off in Mexico where it's warm, but she's out of contact until Saturday.

Big fun for me.

Have you taken my advice yet? Or do I need to take up a collection like I threatened? Because I'm telling you right now, I will, on this forum in fact.

No way Jose. That's 100% loserdom. You could do that and embarass me but I would just use any collection funds to purchase Guatamala and turn it into a capitalist's paradise.

Well if you're just talking catch and release, I'll have no part of it. Damned redneck!

No-I jump,hump and dump my sasquatches.

Then it appears you don't actually want solutions. You're really your own worst enemy here!

Oh come on now, Nadkor...you should have enough experience with me to realise that when I don't like someone...hell, even when someone irritates me somewhat...I don't 'play nice'.

So when I say I think you're fantastic, no scepticism is needed!

Hmm, well, I still don't really believe you....I think I have problems taking compliments...

No-I jump,hump and dump my sasquatches.

I may be disappointingly hairless then, but your version of catch and release isn't particularly repugnant.

I may be disappointingly hairless then, but your version of catch and release isn't particularly repugnant.

as long as there is enough to hold on to.


we cant hate each other no matter how hard we try.

Hmm, well, I still don't really believe you....I think I have problems taking compliments...

That's okay, I'm like that too to some extent. But in my case you'll just have to suspend your disbelief, and accept (perhaps even on faith, MUAHAHHAA) that I in fact value your presence here very much, and enjoy talking to you. And we don't live in some sort of bizarro world alternate dimension where compliments are actually insults.

Then it appears you don't actually want solutions. You're really your own worst enemy here!

To be honest, no one else is really qualified to be my worst enemy anyway.

But I don't want solutions that are unreasonable for other, reasonable and normal and otherwise unimpaired folk. Which yours is.

as long as there is enough to hold on to.

we cant hate each other no matter how hard we try.

Perhaps enough to drive some really rough sex? Well, even sans hate I think I could manage that;)

wether I'm accepted or not doesnt matter much-people that deal with me have little or no choice.

You've gotta keep the ol' evil mind churning, my friend. ;)

It has worked for me, are you calling me unreasonable, abnormal and impaired? *glares dangerously*

I'm sure you've been called worse. :p

Heh, thanks.

Even if this post comes with a healthy dose of scepticism :p

Ah, c'mon...I'm practically a fan of yours, you had to have noticed that. If I was any more people'd be talkin'...

You've gotta keep the ol' evil mind churning, my friend. ;)



mine usually runs on its own without winding...maybe I'm becoming....good?

When I finally get off my arse, I'll be heading over to Dunkin' Donuts, where they're giving away free iced coffees! :D

I told my mom to pick me up some free coffee!

Bluberry coffee.. *drools*

Absolutely fuck all. I haven't even been warped recently.

Perish the thought!

That's what I'm about to go and get -- delicious blueberry iced coffee. Mmmm... :D

Oh! One thing went great recently! www.comedycentral.de is featuring full length episodes of the Daily Show, and it'll be airing on the German Comedy Central sometime in April! :D

That's what I'm about to go and get -- delicious blueberry iced coffee. Mmmm... :D

I like blueberries. Part of my property is covered with the bushes and I feel lucky to have them.

But Blueberry coffee? The scent sickens me. Whenever we stop at Dunkin Donuts, my 13yr old son wants one. My wife has told me to stop ridiculing him about it.

Ah, c'mon...I'm practically a fan of yours, you had to have noticed that. If I was any more people'd be talkin'...
You have a random TG, young man.
That's what I'm about to go and get -- delicious blueberry iced coffee. Mmmm... :D

I pick one up for you, but I'm afraid the ice'd melt and water it down by the time I got to Philly. ;)

No, you have a telegram-pops.

As soon as I saw the yellow egg I thought of the same thing.
Just don't hide it on your person!
No, you have a telegram-pops.
:eek:

I see something has gone right for you today :p

My computer was running slow as hell until this past weekend when I finally dug out the system restore disk and wiped out all the fucking viruses. Now my computer is as good as the day I bought it.:)

Oh yeah, and if my cable doesn't get shut off....South Park new episode!!!

...and after I graduate, no more High School!!!!!:D

Got Diablo 2 running! Now I just need AMD to add aiglx support to their card, so I do not have to log out and log in to play it (and Doom 3, which I hardly play anyways).

I think this thread deserves to know that since last time I visited it things have gone even worse.

Today two bad things happened
1) My uncle died,
2) My mum went into hospital.

Yeah, not a great day.

Add to the fact that my granny has been in hospital for a month.

My dad's having a nightmare of a time. His wife and mother are both in hospital, and his brother's dead. He drank a bottle of Black Bush in the first hour of being back from England (my uncle lived there, my dad went over very early this morning when he deteriorated) this evening.

Not a great day at all.

Well, I bought a new book recently that I'm enjoying a lot.

Does that count? :)

Awww. :(

Thanks, guys, it's really my dad I'm worried about, but I suppose I had to tell somebody somewhere.

So what's going right for you lately? Not even overall, maybe overall things kind of suck right now, but what DOESN'T suck?

Well, I believe that a college-age girl likes me. BTW, I'm 15 and she's 19. Although it is highly unlikely, I am suspicious, but rather certain.

Thanks, guys, it's really my dad I'm worried about, but I suppose I had to tell somebody somewhere.

I'll send out a prayer for him. :)

I think this thread deserves to know that since last time I visited it things have gone even worse.

Today two bad things happened
1) My uncle died,
2) My mum went into hospital.

Yeah, not a great day.

Add to the fact that my granny has been in hospital for a month.

My dad's having a nightmare of a time. His wife and mother are both in hospital, and his brother's dead. He drank a bottle of Black Bush in the first hour of being back from England (my uncle lived there, my dad went over very early this morning when he deteriorated) this evening.

Not a great day at all.


I am so very sorry to hear that Nadkor.

Many hugs and I hopethings improve for your and yoru family very very soon!

Aw man, Nadkor. I'm sorry to hear all of that. Hang in there.

Thanks guys. *insert a cross between several smileys*

Since NSG tends to attract many 'oh my life is teh sux gimme advice' type threads, I like to balance it out every once and a while with a feel good thread.

So what's going right for you lately? Not even overall, maybe overall things kind of suck right now, but what DOESN'T suck?

For me, things going right:
- Avoided an accident this morning with my fantastic driving skills and a little bit of presentiment
- I'm having a great hair day :D
- I got a late scholarship for $1500, which although will disappear into the black hole of my debt is nonetheless rather thrilling.
- I'm crazy about a very wonderful man.
- I'm taking a four month vacation from school and work this summer to go on the powwow trail.

I won $30,000 on a scratch-off lotto ticket, my car hasn't taken a shit in at least a month now (I am really pushing my luck...), and my kidneys are recovering from a really bad case of failure.

My motherfucking iPod is motherfucking working!

Aww, not good. Hope things get better. :(

I just bought Magic the Gathering cards again after I stopped playing for 3 years because my old school's science fiction club went defunct. Maybe I'll try to play with those guys on the bottom floor of the student union.

I found two pair of comfortable pants for under $30 each.
I don't have any more mortgage payments, I own my house free and clear (except for HOA payments and they're next to nothing).
My daughter finally got her Master's and will be moving out (probably joining the Peace Corps).

Well my new work makes me ego grow bigger. Me ego! Me ego! Me!

Of course we all know how low my ego was before.. :p

Ego! Me! Look at me! Ego! Mwahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!


..

*cough*

Uhm, yeah.. nah..

i just watched some "star trek" ;) :D

now listening to jimi hendrix... so that's something going right too :)

and got a few filters and stuff for me camera (xmas presents, finally) so will be experimenting with those this weekend, yay! :)

And I've now been rejected by yet another university. Still too working class when compared to wealthy foreign kids and public*-schooled aristocracy, it seems.

*In the British sense.

Not going right :(

Hope things picks up for you. All my best wishes :fluffle:

Take care

OK, I think I'll do a positive and negative spin on my life, as stands. I've met a really amazing girl. Well, I met her back in september and I've been trying to see her since then and it's been a bit...strange. Anyway, if I can get it to work it'll be great. My course is going well and I've just had a big stress relief after finishing my dissertation, although I've missed a shitload of lectures and that's making me feel really pissed off with myself. I've felt pretty crappy for a while, especially today cos I'm on a major comedown from a bit of a 3 day session, but I reckon it'll pass in a few days and I'll feel good again. I've got absolutely no money but fuck it, I'm a student, that's what happens. Actually, the most annoying thing at the moment is that I keep focusing on really pointless, depressing stuff for absolutely no reason. Basically I've got fuck all major problems at the moment and if I can stop making mountains out of molehills, my life will feel pretty good.

I made up with my fiancee and had make up ooh la la.

i've handed in my dissertation so hopefully i'll get my degree, if i pass my finals anyway. and i'm back on the sauce, that feels pretty good. and i'm watching shaun of the dead which is funny. all in all, a good sight better than i have been for the last 3 months. :)

I won $30,000 on a scratch-off ticket. :p

I live in the USA. I could be a starving child in Africa with AIDS, or something, so I got nothing to complain about.

Or I could be gay.

Just kidding.
