After a burst of inspiration yesterday and another burst today, I've decided to both write a book and also write a web comic.

I probably won't have the willpower to see either of them through to the end, but for now I'm still on an adrenaline rush and I published the first comic today, with plans for the second already finished and ideas still bubbling in my head for ones after that.

Out of interest, anyone else on here write a web comic?

And the main purpose of this thread: have you done anything recently which, like me and my web comic, have made you feel extremely giddy and proud of yourself?

:D

I'm finishing up my first semester of college... ever. I guess I'm proud of that? (The fact that I didn't fail, I mean...)

i'm a few exams away from finishing a college semester. i may be starting a business with friends over the summer.

And i decided to become un-single.

edit: i have been wanting to make a webcomic, but i cannot draw well at all (ie-i need an illustrator)

I'm two finals away from either having a career in Physics or being a washout.

No, no stress, none whatsoever. <.< >.>

Edit: by this I don't mean I'm about to graduate, I mean I either get good grades or my school funding gets pulled.

I watched an entire season of the Sopranos in two days.

I'm two finals away from either having a career in Physics or being a washout.


Same w/ me and chemistry.

Same w/ me and chemistry.

Honestly, dude, thermodynamics has made me a caffeine addict more so than any class previously taken.

I have a sincere belief that if I ever make it to grad school, the proficiency exam will make me an alcoholic.

I'm in a play, and I take the AP American Government and Politics test tommorrow. I'll get a 5, almost certainly. I've been acing practice tests. My play shows next Tuesday and Thursday. After that, I have to find a job of some flavor and form a band again. I also graduate in a month on Friday.

Bah. You had to remind me of education. *shudders*

Congratulations, anyway. :D

Meh; I'm useless as an illustrator but I still did it. You can't beat stickmen using Inkscape.
How on Earth do you become un-single? Surely you have only limited control over it, since it requires both parties to assent?
Good luck with your exams, by the way. And your business! (Two things I've done before you: set up a (small) business and made a web comic. :D)

Oooh...
Sounds painful.

Well, you're very intelligent from what I've seen and heard, so I daresay you'll do just fine.
Good luck.

I finished a 25 page research paper on the impact of education on the works of medieval Christian mystics. The paper was pretty crap, but it is the longest essay I've ever written so I feel somewhat proud of having managed to finish it without a nervous breakdown.

Thats funny b/c a couple frends of mine and i took to doing shots before the lectures during the last few weeks.

Oh, and i read Ayn Rand's Anthem in a single sitting.

I'm teaching myself the Cairo graphics library, in Java. It's going great; there is no fucking documentation so I have to use C documentation and convert it into Java.That works out pretty poorly too as the two languages use two different paradigms.

Whoa, good for you! You'll have to show it to us! So trolls can rip it apart... :p

Let's see, what have I been doing? Well:


I just got my grades back from the spring semester and I still have a perfect 4.0 in grad school,
I won sexiest female NSer for 2007,
I organized my whole room and hung some pictures,
I got my hair cut all cute,
I booked a trip to Portland for the end of May, which is a pretty big trip for me,
aaaaand that's it so far.


Further bulletins as events warrant. :D

i've had a very small business before, but circumstances forced me to leave that a long time ago. in terms of becoming, unsingle, well, my friends tell me i drink like its religion at parties, so i figure i may become more approachable if i cut back on that.

But thanks!

I got smashed last weekend, then wrote an 8 page research paper I'd been putting off. This coming weekend I don't plan on spending more than a few minutes sober. And those few minutes are from the point where I can up to the point where I make it out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. Hayloooo Smirnoff.

I wrote the cover letter and resume for my mock interview at the business school later this month.

How awesome would a NS(G) webcomic be?
Eh, eh?
We could get the material right off the forum.

I felt both giddy, solemn, proud, and dissapointed because I procrastinated using NSG.

I also feel dirty and fnord

After a particularly nasty synthesis lab report, we all went down to the bars, and we had many pitchers of beer between us (accounts vary, but supposedly it averages to about a pitcher a person).

Since beer does not sit well with me, i ended up doing 7&7s to calm my stomach.

And that's what seperates the English majors from the people with active social lives and fingernails that haven't been worn down to the nubs.

Considering how out of shape I was a couple months ago, I played a very good game of soccer/football today, which would have made me giddy, but we lost. Still, a good feeling.

A few weeks ago when I put together/implemented (at the same time; that's the way I work) the new, wonderfully sounding (though hardly transparent; I love that snappy pumping and soft saturation) algorithm for my "look-ahead"-free brickwall limiter DSP plugin.

The more recent progress on the native (as opposed to the inbuilt ports) API of my plugin set and the work-in-progress host for it is also quite nice, though the real breakthroughs are yet to come.

And that's what seperates the English majors from the people with active social lives and fingernails that haven't been worn down to the nubs.My sister has a bachelors in English and the stuff she had to write was pretty intense... including a thesis; I had no idea some colleges have you write a thesis for a bachelors, I always thought they were for Masters and Doctorates.

i penned a lab report earlier this semester on the synthesis of cobalt coordination complexes that was a total of about 35 pages (24 pages text, 2-3 pages calculations, 1 page of references and all the rest was diagrams)

It's like we've been living the same life...

I got straight A's last semester, which was when I started college. I thought it was pretty cool, since I haven't gotten straight A's since 7th grade, but the novelty of it wore off after a few days.

Recently, I think I did well on a Physics test that I barely studied for. Also, I have gotten into only one car accident since I started driving in the summer and that one wasn't even my fault. The person rear ended me.

as usual i have been ignoring everyhting i have to do. including studying for my finals which are halfway through. hopefully i will pass.. but i'm not counting on myslef to pull this off.

Around here, thesises (thesii?) are a "privelege" reserved for the top of the Senior Class. Goddamned nerds always making me doubt my penis size.

I doing a 30 pager due tuesday. I'm on page 5 :(

Jeez, I just can't wait until I have to do a 30 page paper. :p

I just (Saturday) graduated with degrees in mathematics, physics, philosophy & religion. Whoohoo.

Working, dear god finally, working...on a semi regular, actually lucrative basis.

Albeit on commercials, which aren't the height of creative output, but fuck it, I'm a PA, the lowest dude on the totem pole. I'm literally hired from people who have nothing more than my name and my phone number. And normally I work on reality shows, so it's a lateral move. (I get to do documentaries too, but they pay practically nothing, just chunks of my soul back). And commercials pay twice as much.

If this streak continues (and it likely won't) I might actually have enough money to do my own small documentary. Maybe.

Fucking lay-away, messing with my happy funds.

I've sold some of my photos, and my new found love for graphic design is getting me some good ego boostation.

So, what have you been doing?

Alot of blow and speed. Although, the upside to this is I have been extremely motivated and productive for the past couple weeks (when the binge started).

I just (Saturday) graduated with degrees in mathematics, physics, philosophy & religion. Whoohoo.

My god. Apart from perhaps the religion, you're just like me, assuming that they also interest you.
*is scared*

*is even prouder today*
I released the second strip of my web comic. Worship me, puny mortals. :D
Wouldn't it count as self-promotion if I released it here or linked to it?

Warning: alcohol may cause you to think that you're actually attractive. This is only true if the other person has been drinking more than you.

I've been neglecting my business recently; it was a small computer game
programming start-up, and I simply haven't had the motivation to do any work. :(

And you're welcome. :)

@H N Fiddlebottoms VIII:
It's 'theses'.

I am finishing up my homeschool year, finishing up my college semester, waiting for hubby to graduate, and attempting Script Frenzy (http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/eng/node) next month.

Wishing this break would be extended. Have to return to school within a month, and already the four-inch thick books are starting to scare me.

Who cares. Post it.

I'm proud of myself in that, as of tomorrow, I am no longer dole scum (TM and (C)), but a Productive Member of Society. Or, in other words, I got myself a job and I'll have to start paying tax.

- I´m writing my book and its turning out to be what I wanted it to be.
- I just ran one of my most hated hills and didnt even noticed it. Now its not a chalenge anymore.
- I´m almost on schedule with all my studies.

And congratulations on the other two things. What's your book about, may I ask?

And since I V Stalin said to, I hereby post the first two strips!

Disclaimer: I never said they were very good. I just said that I was proud of them. :)

For some strange reason the thumbnails don't work, but clicking on them takes you to the comics anyway, so meh.

Well, having planned out my life vaguely, I can say that I'm probably going to be studying until I'm in my mid-thirties, mainly because I plan on progressing all the way through to getting the best university qualifications possible in my chosen fields; I'm hoping to be a university lecturer anyway, so I might as well make use of the university I'll lecture in. :D
Also, it's a very good example, at the moment. Just don't die, or it'll be a bad one.

Pharmacology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology, Microbiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology...

I churned out an A-grade 8 page research paper in 3 hours. It's really not as hard as it sounds.

My goal is to graduate at 23 in two years, go to grad school, slave away for another 3.5-5 years, hopefully not dying of alcohol poisoning and managing to survive my doctoral proficiency exam, and then trying to find a job with a PhD. that involves research.

So ideally I'll have a PhD. by 28. At which point, hopefully, I don't end up working at Home Depot.

I failed two exams in geometry back in high school and was on the verge of academic probation because of it. Ironically, I got the highest possible grade in calculus in college. (That's because the calculus was 'dumbed-down' calculus! :) ) And also, I hate statistics. I'd curl up and die if statistics goes within a meter of me.

And you can dislike the Mandelbrot Set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set) by being me. It looks to me like lots of sperms trying to fertilize a mutated egg cell. Perhaps I hate math because I suck at it; and I suck at math because I dislike it.

The only way I can like numbers is if they are positive, infinitesimally large, and has a $ sign before it. And if it is all for me.

Sigh... I can see it now... I will get everything out of the way except for math and it'll be that one class holding me back from my degree. :( :( :( The one class that no matter how many times I try, no matter how much tutoring I recieve... I will never pass it.

Infinitesimally large is a contradiction in terms.
Infinitely large would be OK.
Infinitesimal approaches 0. It's an infinitely small number.
Also, a £ sign would be better.
Well, not really, as twice infinity is infinity, but still
:D

I detest statistics; it is not worthy of being categorised as mathematics...

Also: die, person who dislikes the Mandelbrot set. :)

Only triple, actually - P&R is one major here. Five years altogether.

Bah. I post my two comics against my better judgement and no-one even bothers to comment on them.

It's a small department. Basically, I studied philosophy, and took 2 extra religion classes on what would have amounted to a philosophy major.

Of course, next year they start offering a separate major.

Me and him have had some smashing times role-playing invasions of Germany and I understood every word. :D

Odd.

After a burst of inspiration yesterday and another burst today, I've decided to both write a book and also write a web comic.

I probably won't have the willpower to see either of them through to the end, but for now I'm still on an adrenaline rush and I published the first comic today, with plans for the second already finished and ideas still bubbling in my head for ones after that.

Out of interest, anyone else on here write a web comic?

And the main purpose of this thread: have you done anything recently which, like me and my web comic, have made you feel extremely giddy and proud of yourself?

:D

If you need the willpower to finish it, just take some Red-Bull and Crack....

And was the 'drop bears' a reference to the Last Continent by Terry Pratchett?

Indeed :cool:

Yes, though I don't rightly now if he coined the prase or not (I doubt that and can't be bothered to wiki it at the moment), I learned about them through his works.

Damn Yankee-bias, eh?

@Imperial isa:
1. That drop-bear scared me...
2. I posted in the 'Blood and Fire' thread in II.

Only triple, actually - P&R is one major here. Five years altogether.
Five years for a triple major?

My single major is gonna take that long by itself.

Goodo.

Also, fourth strip now uploaded. Another image as opposed to a thumbnail; I suspect the mods will be getting tired of this, so the fifth and onwards will be posted in the Spam forum when they're uploaded.

It's my personal favourite thus far, by the way.

well recently i've restructured some of our websites and seen hits from google rise by 36,000 percent. they look better too and fix all the old browser incompatibilities that used to piss me off.

i also had a great business idea we're hopefully going to expand on.

plus i installed debian linux on my xbox for kicks



lastly, its not an achievement so much.... just something that made me feel giddy like a schoolgirl; i took a look at the car i really want in the showroom and have (almost) figured out the finances to get it :) yay!
