Now that summer has pretty much come to an end, and autumn is going to begin soon, what are you looking forward to this autumn?

Visiting Belgium and France. And maybe Portugal, Finland or Spain as well :)

Also, the good thing about autumn is that the weather here doesn't have to get worse compared to now :p

Moving out of my parent's house in fourteen days.

The smell of decaying vegetation and, of course, pumpkin pie.

Watching the fruit flies die in my kitchen. Not so tough now, are you Mr. Fly?

Going to San Francisco with my boyfriend during the spring reading break. And... Christmas. I love Christmas.

What am I looking forward to? Why, that thrice-hallowed eve abroad, when ghosts, as cottage maids believe, their pebbled beds permitted, leave, and goblins rise from fire or fen to walk once more the Walks of Men.

The end of this one really hard course I have to take.

Moving out of my parent's house in fourteen days.

Yay!


I am looking forward to November, it's my favorite month of the year, it's National Novel Writing Month, and the anniversary of when hubby proposed, and Thanksgiving, and Black Friday shopping. Also, we take the kids out for autumn pictures in the park while the leaves are pretty colors.

I'm going to Brazil in December. I'll be there for two years. Yay

Yay!

Do you have any idea what you'll be writing this year? I'm considering a screenplay, since I've had a good idea for a film and that's the course I'm taking at art school from September 24th.

i have a date this sunday, i'm going to venice with my friends for 4 days on monday, and i'm hopefully going to get a job soon.

however i'm not looking forward t not being able to pay my rent for october which is looking increasingly inevitable. not sure what to do about that one :/

cooler weather

I am looking forward to Winter, not Autumn.

I prefer winter to autumn as well. The transitional seasons just aren't as attractive as the winter and summer.

I am probably going to write a comedy. The last 2 years I have attempted mysteries but they end up being hilarious, so I guess I will give in.

PUMPKIN PIE!!!!!

I'll live on that stuff if I can afford it, damnit!

Other then that I look forward to furthering my Linguistics degree, where I learn the intimate details of the real definitions for what a noun or verb is. Government mind control.

That's right, nouns and verbs are secret government mind control devices designed to enslave you. Retaliate now, switch to an all preposition and adjective vocabulary!

One season closer to Ron Paul's victory.

But what of the adverbs! Upon whose side will they fall?

Adverbs are Verbist mind control device scum.

I actually look forward to school, every single day. It's a glorious event, switching from the worst school in the state to a 1984-esque prison school to the best school on the eastern half of the state. It really makes you appreciate things.

Now that summer is over and my sophomore year has started, I am looking forward to being coompared to my stupid freshman sister by even more stpid freshmen and even more non-freshmen and being known as HER sister for the next three years.

Oh, and we're taking two of the same courses this year. She'll do better than me in them, of course. So what the hell is the point of school? To make me feel like I'm basically nothing while the perfect sister gets everything?

[/wishing her school wasn't Hell so that she could actually tell it to go to Hell]
In other non-sarcastic news, i'm looking forward to the best marching season evar. It'll be the only thing making me happy.

Now that summer has pretty much come to an end, and autumn is going to begin soon, what are you looking forward to this autumn?

People realizing that this is an international forum, and that there are posters here from all around the world.

I would second that, except for the fact...

AMERICA IS THE WORLD! (To some people, anyway).

Well, cricket season is beginning in a couple of months as SUMMER approaches, and that means sitting in my armchair in front of the airconditioner on a 40C day with a beer watching Adam Gilchrist knock the cover off the cricket ball.

MarioParty 8, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl, Paper Mario and MySims on the Wii

GTA 4 and Halo 3 on the 360

making use of a hotel break voucher thing with my gf :)

Hopefully getting out of the one branch school of my company that I hate, and have been trying to get out of for months.

Good food! (One of the sayings Japanese have is "fall eating", which is wrapped up in fecund references to good fall food.)

A break in the summer heat wave.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!! (And Thanksgiving too.)

And it won't be long til Xmas when I make my yearly pilgramage back home. My nephew will be about 2 1/2 and is getting into all sorts of trouble that's appearantly known simply as "FUNNY!". I look forwards to encouraging all sorts of "FUNNY" behaviour... :D (Yes, that's Uncle Dai spelled/spelt with a capital "T", as in "Trouble!" HEHEHEHEH!!!!!)

You know, it would be so much easier if people on the other side of the equator just started referring to seasons by the names of the opposite seasons. So Fall becomes Spring, Winter becomes Summer et c. :p

Also, it occured to me, does the southern hemisphere do daylight savings at the opposite times as the in the northern hemisphere?

well I've been paid twice and I'm invited to a big party tonight where the women-men ratio is 2:1 :D

other than that I will be 18 soon (Nov 7th) which sounds fun unfortunately for the army I was ordered to go to college so no Iraq loosing for me :)

Buggering off to university in early October, from which I hope to return to crappy Essex only when necessary.:)

School, Halloween, Pumpkin Carving, Christmas, and pretty Leaves!

Going to university in 8 days! Even better the male to female ratio is....9:1! Oh happy days!

Back off to uni at the end of the month, will be nice to see everyone and get back into learning. I miss it when I'm on holiday, I never do as much at home, sports-wise, knowledge-wise or even friends-wise.

I'm looking forward to the weather cooling off and being nice, and especially to my winter break, when I will get to do a lot of travel around China.

the first 2 weeks of november is my annual vacation in aruba. then comes the holidays. then in february my niece should have her twins.

thats a lot to look forward to.

Australians don't count. Nor do South Americans or Africans.
All is the USA and Europe, except for some parts which may also be Canada, Japan or China (time and attention span allowing)!

September 24th. Heroes season 2 premiere.

Can't wait for the return to uni on Thursday, even if I am skint...

One season closer to Ron Paul's victory.

You keep dreaming, and maybe it will come true.;)

Going to live in England in a couple of weeks and starting a new degree, in the subject I've wanted to do for years and should have done in the first place.

The only downside is that England is generally populated by the English.

November 10th, & 22nd.

And possibly September 16th, & 27th.

Now that summer has pretty much come to an end, and autumn is going to begin soon, what are you looking forward to this autumn?

I'm looking forward to going to a bar mitzvah next week.

I'm looking forward to going to a bar mitzvah next week.

Give the bar mitzvah a Mazel Tov from me.

In the short term, going to celebrate my brothers' fifteenth birthday tomorrow with family. :)

In the long run... dealing with applying to USF... and hopefully finding out that I've been accepted. :)

Deer hunting. Please don't thread jack,and turn this into an ill-informed gun/hunting/America bashing thread.

The only downside is that England is generally populated by the English.
Luckily for you, our campuses aren't :)

*edits*

Oh and uni is what I'm looking forwards to.

After this absolutely Hellish afternoon, I'm looking forward to winter when it will be a little bit less too fucking hot.

Give the bar mitzvah a Mazel Tov from me.

Indeed.

Well, there's the Smashing Pumpkins concert next month.

Not worth it. Trust me; I saw them at Reading and they managed the rare feat of being worse than Razorlight.

Does this mean it was a good thing that I got stuck in the Radio 1 tent and ended up watching the Klaxons? I've been looking for a socially acceptable reason for this to be true, as my brain wasn't on drugs and I was caught in the post-LCD Soundsystem surge.

I'm looking forward to freezing my butt off at Vikings Come Home, whilst getting extremely drunk. Or maybe watching House DragonScythe get really drunk, that might be more fun...

You missed Gallows? Oh dear god you missed out....:D Genuinely the best performance I've seen in years.

And yes, the Klaxons would have been better. Mainly because you get to try and pull nu-rave kids, as opposed to getting dirty looks from slightly ageing 90's teenagers for interrupting their nostalgia....

I'm looking forward to my new job, and winter. Winter means Christmas and my birthday, which in turn mean presents and beer! :D

Not worth it. Trust me; I saw them at Reading and they managed the rare feat of being worse than Razorlight.

Oh wow really? Glad I didn't buy a Leeds ticket then, they were one of the main reasons I was considering it.

Mainly because you get to try and pull nu-rave kids, as opposed to getting dirty looks from slightly ageing 90's teenagers for interrupting their nostalgia....Oi, the early '90s were cool man, don't be knocking the former footsoldiers of grunge! I'm kinda pissed I missed the Pumpkins if only cos, well, it's (part of) the Pumpkins - a similar feeling of regret for missing the Pixies for Kasabian (albeit one of the best gigs of my life).

Apart from that, the only people I met in the Klaxons were experiencing huge rushes of serotonin and oxytocin of a chemically-induced nature. I got a 5 minute jumping hug of some girl who decided I was soft and jumped about with a load of wide-pupiled randomers who liked my glowsticks. Much like a rave, except I was stone cold sober (for once). Apparently they were only any good down the front, all of the people out for a casual watch thought they were a bit pants. Kind of bad to say, really, but the highlight of my weekend was finally getting to see We Are Scientists (complete with new material, yay!). Sums up a poor Leeds Fest line-up and yet one of the best I've been to :)

I was at Reading, it wasn't all that much better musically. Missed Enter Shikari, who are the tits live, because I was being a good mate and watching Interpol and the Kings of Leon with a friend:mad:

However, I did get to see LostAlone and Kids in Glass Houses! Awesome bands on a teeny stage:) Can't see how you were sobre though; I didn't actually drink that much, but my god whatever I took was fun on saturday. As crap and jammy as the chilis were, I had a laugh

Not worth it. Trust me; I saw them at Reading and they managed the rare feat of being worse than Razorlight.Yeah, but your taste in music is dubious anyway. ;)

I don't take any drugs at festivals because they either make me want to stay in my tent or give me comedowns I can't deal with, not really a decision I want to make. Chilli's were shite at Leeds, they didn't play Around the World, Under the Bridge or Scar Tissue, cocked up By the Way, fucked up the end when Kiedis randomly just walked off stage and generally had nil stage presence. I missed Enter Shikari too, although KoL were great.

It was insanely hot today.. :(

Ant Keidis broke a guitar at Reading, and then didn't say a sodding word to the audiance for the whole 2 hours. At least Tom Delong, in between getting bottled and acting a ****, took the effort to have a go at the crowd.

It was my first festival anyways; I'm young enough, just, to avoid major comedowns, and I've got no self-restraint:D

Kiedis just isn't the man he used to be - he looks like a prize tit in that outfit he wears - and Tom DeLonge needs to grow a pair, especially after saying "Have you guys ever been in love? I have, and it nearly killed me" or somesuch utter tripe. As for the comedown, if you and I are talking about the same thing then you just haven't pushed it far enough :p

EDIT: WinRARs don't do drugz, liek.

It was priceless at Reading. He tried a few "Mom" jokes and other Blink stuff, got a bottling, and then told us we were unappreciative wankers. Even better was when he asked why we were staring at him, and somebody shouted "Because you're ****". :)

I'm only 18 anyway; I'm inexperianced in all things illegal. Trying hard to rectify that though

I agree. It should be illegal for it to be above 75 Degrees Fahrenheit.

I start getting cold around 75 degrees Fahrenheit...:(

I start getting cold around 75 degrees Fahrenheit...:(

I start sweating after 75 degrees Fahrenheit.. o.O

Is that around 25 degrees C? I like that temperature, it signifies an awesome day and maybe the beginning of a hot spell.

It's like 24 degrees C, I think.

I start sweating after 75 degrees Fahrenheit.. o.O

I've lived in Florida my whole life, and I get cold really easily. And my Dad gets warm really easily, so the air conditioning is always somewhere around 74 degrees Fahrenheit. I feel so cold most of the time. I have to have a blanket over me pretty much all the time while I am at home, whether I'm in my room, on the computer, eating, or watching TV. Sometimes if I touch a family member they draw back instinctively because my skin is too cold. :(

I'm looking forward to being Nadkor's neighbour.

I start getting cold around 75 degrees Fahrenheit...:(

No way.

There's not a single month where the average temperature where I live goes above 64 farenheit. The highest temperature ever recorded here was 87 farenheit. 75 is warm; I can only think of a few days this year when it's reached that temperature...

The average July temperature here is like 81 degrees Fahrenheit, usually with pretty high humidity, and the average January temperature is around 59 degrees, and for that I have to bundle up in a fairly heavy jacket, and I still feel like I'm freezing.

That's actually mental. Good work.

Not much to look forward to this fall, but in winter I get to go home for 25 days. That will be great.

Now that summer has pretty much come to an end, and autumn is going to begin soon, what are you looking forward to this autumn?

Vacation!
WooT!
My work season mellowing out, too.
Weasels.
Antagonizing various posters here.

I'm looking forward to being Nadkor's neighbour.

You remind me of the Korn song, "Mr. Rogers".
:p

And are those sleeves covering up your sniper successes?

Lets see, rain, cooler temperatures, OCing my PC, seeing all the people a abandoned during the summer, 7 day weeks, and other stuff.

That's actually mental. Good work.

:confused:

:confused:

":confused:" what?

I agree. It should be illegal for it to be above 75 Degrees Fahrenheit.
As much as I agree with the sentiment, I have a feeling that such legislation may prove difficult to enforce. I guess we could try having NASA fill a space shuttle up with Cease and Desist orders and fire it at the Sun.

Holy hells, when I rule the world I am totally building my summer palace in Ireland.

Now that summer has pretty much come to an end, and autumn is going to begin soon, what are you looking forward to this autumn?

I'm going to rent my own room, probably, which is very cool. I also have more than two weeks holiday left. I think I'm going to fill them with relaxing and going out. School also begins, which is going to be quite cool, seeing my friends again, a lot of parties, and what appears to be more interesting classes.

November 10th, & 22nd.

And possibly September 16th, & 27th.

So you celebrate the Marine Corps birthday, as well? Then Semper Fi, buddy.

I'm looking forward to a typical Georgia autumn. Plenty of rain and a break from the dry 90-100 degree days that we've had this summer.

And watching the local High School football games. It's a lot more fun than going back to Tech and watching the Jackets play.

The average July temperature here is like 81 degrees Fahrenheit, usually with pretty high humidity, and the average January temperature is around 59 degrees, and for that I have to bundle up in a fairly heavy jacket, and I still feel like I'm freezing.

You would just die in a Michigan winter, then. It gets cold up here. The coldest I remember was when the wind chill got down somewhere around -50. They closed Muskegon Public for the first time in twenty years for that.

You would just die in a Michigan winter, then.

I know I would. I may never get to see snow in person. :(

I went to Michigan this past July. The cousins I visited all felt unusually hot and it was just like normal weather to me.

":confused:" what?

I didn't understand what you said.

I didn't understand what you said.

I said it was a bit mental, but good.

Also, it occured to me, does the southern hemisphere do daylight savings at the opposite times as the in the northern hemisphere?

Yep.

So you celebrate the Marine Corps birthday, as well? Then Semper Fi, buddy.

Oh, no, the 10th is the day I attempt to run a business (ie: table at craft fair).

Also, woohoo! September 15th, not 16th!
