I just received word that I now have a contact to help me with my missionary work. Evidently the guy is planning on doing long term mission work, just like me, and is excited to see I am wanting to do that. Woohoo! Just what I have been waiting on for a long time now! :)


So what is exciting in your life? Anyone getting married or having babies, or both? :eek:

Thats awesome man! Sounds like an amazing blessing.

As for myself, I am actually getting married in late May, and I've gotta tell you, I'm pretty excited!

Moving in a month!

Congratulations on that achievement.
As for me, i got my sister back, maybe prayers work after all.
EDIT: how are people awake at this time in the morning? my excuse is i woke up late thus i sleep late, as for you guys i dunno maybe you take a pint of expresso before you go to bed or something.

I feel theres a story behind this... care to share?

I feel theres a story behind this... care to share?

oooh i don't know i would but there's too many personal details to give over the internet. A charicature of the events is, my sis dated an abusive guy for years (I mean an utter bastard of the most pathetic form) only now she's snapped out of it and come back. Ironically she'd just finished her Psychology and Philosophy degree, gives you some perspective i reckon completing that.
But yeah it's good, brilliant in fact.

Sounds awesome! (the details given were definately ample, my curiosity was out of having no context for what you meant exactly.)

That's cool, congrats on your engagement to marriage (or whatever it's supposed to be called), care to share how you met your partner?

Well, we've known each other since high school... but we ran with different crowds, and we actually disliked each other strongly.

As time passed, and high school ended, we had mutual friends, started hanging out more, and just started dating. That was a little over a year ago, but we both just knew that we wanted to be together.

Moving in a month!

Where to?

most exciting thing lately?

i bought a wood chipper.

Where to?

About 15 minutes closer to my job... so nothing too extreme.

Could be moving after this summer. I'm lazily looking for something a bit better than my current job. Not that it's not comfy, but something a tad less repetitive would be nice.

Not a damn thing. My life is about unexciting as it gets.

I got my shaky front right tire fixed in my car.

Woo?

I watched the end of Dante's Peak.

Okay, so a month ago I started my first year of university, which also involved moving out of my city of birth for the first time.

Let's see, my partner agreed to buy my mom a house when she retires. We're in the process of doing a bit of remodeling to our home. Other than that, I'm waiting for all the plants and seeds I orderd to arrrive so I can get started on my gardens. I always find that exciting. But then, I'm kind of old. :p

I went to my favorite night club 4 nights in a row.

Also, the Heller case looks like it went well.

Well, let's see. I finally was interviewed for the promotion I've been working towards for a good two months. Yay me. :p

Uhm, I almost broke up with my significant other... again. We're complicated people. Who love each other, but are complicated nonetheless. We just seem to get in our own ways sometimes. Not to mention, we're at that stage in our lives where quite honestly, life would be easier without a relationship, sometimes. Life is generally being consumed by work, school, travel... all those things you do in your 20s that do awesome things for you as a person, but aren't always conducive to long-term relationships, unless you're good at the long-distance thing. We're not so much. We'll see.

Also... uhm. No, that pretty much covers it. I'm not in a bad place right now, just a stressful place. Life's not easy. :p

Got my first law school acceptance in late February. More recently, finished my senior research paper tonight -- the last obstacle between me and spring break.

Ran into a Melbourne Victory player at the train station. May not seem like a big deal to you guys, but to me, it's like meeting a god.

Got asked out by a girl at the college I work at...had to turn her down though (I have a girlfriend). Shame, 'cos she's damn cute.

And got an interview for a new job so hopefully I can dump the one of the two I do at the moment.

Awww, but shouldn't you be able to not see if girls are cute because you're in a relationship? Shouldn't you be repulsed at the idea of dating someone else? *is joking :p*

I gots me a new lady in my life (by new, I mean we've been together about a month now, so we're past the point of not-serious). Things are going well. I am quite pleased with her. She fulfils her function adequately.

As for the coming week... school term finishes tomorrow. Thank Christ for that. Only three terms left to go... and then Uni next year, but ssshhhhh.

My theatre play is coming along swimmingly. Finally learning how to walk in heels. I never knew dressing in drag could be so much fun, or so hilarious and absurd. As You Like It is a great play.

What else. Erm. Nothing yet. Life should get exciting in a month or two, once I hit 18.

The eye-doctor told me that the blind spot on my left eye is nothing to worry about and that I won't be going blind on that eye. For the rest of the day, my pupils were different sizes:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/ulteriormotives/Eyes.png

Exciting... Well I... no... Well once I... no... CRAP! I guess I have a boring life! *runs into corner for admitting worst secret*

I bought some mango pickle earlier and it's made me a bit queasy.

Well I could be homeless in 2 months! I semi lie in the fact I could live with my oarents for the second year of university but commutting a toal of 4 hours a day. Fuck that.

Just need a word from a friend of mine to see if she will let me be that 4th Housemate she is looking for to move into a new flat around August. Pretty damn exciting and nerve wracking.

well........... i'm thinking.........

i got the 480x multiplier on Lego Star Wars
i spent £170 on unmentionables for my g/f at the weekend
i'm seeing her tonight
we're going on a big shopping trip with salon stuff in a couple of weeks in London
GTA4 is out soon!

LOL. This one time I this itchy eye, so I saw the optomitrist, who sent me to the hospital, where a nurse gave me a panic attack, so I had to to go another hospital, then they sent me home, then I saw an eye specialist the next day instead of my regular opthamologist, who dilated my pupils and I couldn't see properly for the rest of the day, so I got on the wrong bus, then asked the bus driver what bus number it was, then he called the cops, then I had to run away blindly...

The most exciting thing to happen to me recently?
Well, this Monday I was told that we will have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off in observance of Easter. I almost danced like in "Singing in the Rain", but without the rain drops.:D

I changed my socks.

Very cool for you. :D

Term finished last week, so I now have 5 weeks holiday :)

Other than that, I've fixed up some work experience with an orchestra (in their offices) and have been accepted onto a choral summer course run by the Tallis Scholars.

Very cool for you. :D

Hai!:D

Why would he call the cops on you for asking what bus number you were on? Did you ask him it at knifepoint or something?

but... its March :confused:

is that a really long Easter holiday or what?

hmmm what happened to me recently? Well I am in the process of buying a house (I move in mid-April which I am pretty gosh-darn excited about), I found out I was accepted into that Nursing program. Oh and I am going to go to Alton Towers with like 180 deaf people, so I would avoid Alton Towers that day if I were you - theres going to be near 200 exciteable people running around and you wont even be able to tell them off lol

ya know

that sounds more like an exicting thing that will happen soon rather than one that has happened.

very true ;) :p

I have a rather boring life so...

Yo tendría que decir: Hacerse amigos con y charlar con regularidad con señorita Nanatsu...

Me parece muy bien que el conversar conmigo te resulte excitante.:)

Not much.

At school I have a bit of a romance developing. I like her and she has recently become interested in me. Our friends are all trying to get things going for us. i amg oing to ask her out whne I next see her monday.

but... its March :confused:

is that a really long Easter holiday or what?

Mmm, indeed. The benefit of being over-worked and stressed during 9 week terms means they have to give you long enough holiday to recover in between. 3 months in the summer, as well

Oo, other exciting thing is that my choir is singing evensong in Canterbury cathedral on the 28th :)

I have a fencing competition approaching. It is a team event, and unfortunately, all my mates wish to fence épée. I enjoy épée greatly, but I was still hoping we would fence foil this time.

This may be more exciting to me than to the rest of you, for reasons that will be immediately obvious, but I learned firsthand and quite intimately why Sichuan girls enjoy the same reputation as Sichuan food.

HOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!:D

Loads of things.

Went on a french exchange last week, and got to fly a light aircraft. Going back to Egypt next week to see where I grew up. Had my French Horn Grade 2 today and messed up a little, so seeing if I get the distinction my teacher wanted me to get. Nearly asked a girl out for the first time, but changhed my mind at the last minute. ANd its easter next week, so busiest time of year for my dad and indirectly me.

heh, you've caught me at a pretty action-packed time.

The most exciting thing to happen to me was an attempted mugging on Monday (St. Paddy's Day mind you). I was at the mall after school trying to pick up a new backpack for my daughter, and in the parking lot, four chicks came up to me, and asked for a smoke. They looked about, oh I don't know...17 - 21 maybe. There have been a rash of 'swarmings' at the malls lately, mostly groups of girls like these stealing wallets, cell phones, and sometimes assaulting their victims, so I was immediately wary. I said I don't smoke, but rather than turn by back on them to walk away, I stayed facing them, hoping they'd fuck off. One girl got close to me while the others sort of looked around, and I KNEW she was going to try to jack me, so I punched her. No, I didn't over-react...she had that look on her face, and everything about them screamed out the fact they were up to no good. I threw my bag at her feet to distract her, and I punched her in the face, nicely skinning the shit out of my knuckles and hurting like hell. It freaked the chicks out, and I thought they were going to all jump on me, but there was a woman and her kid in the parking lot who started yelling, so they ran. I am happy to say I think I broke the bitch's nose.

All in all, it was an enjoyable experience...I doubt she's going to try suing me for battery.

I changed my socks.I almost fainted reading that, I wish my life was as exciting as yours.


I turned the telly on and that's about it.

Got called by this amazing woman... frankly, just to tell me she doesn't have any time for me for a while, but... a call is a call.

Nice! *is jealous*

Oh, and I saw the Sixteen in concert (St Johns college chapel) a few weeks ago :p

Nothing really. My life is dull.

Good for you! Whilst I would never advocate putting yourself in needless danger, in this case it was justified and its always good to see people like that get whats coming to them! *claps*

I wormed my way out of buying anyone easter eggs this year whilst still receiving the maximum allocated amount :cool:

I also managed to have 3 (yes 3) Sunday roasts in one day

SNIP

that will teach her to smoke in a parking lot :p

St Patrick's was Monday though so you should of immediately quizzed the woman on why her child wasn't at school!

Most exciting thing to happen to you recently?

Boyfriend's coming round to a phase of being a rather nice human being?

That, and the job offer I'd been hoping for has been cancelled, so I shall have to look around for new options.

Oh, and I got myself a superb presenter. I like toys, especially those I can pass off as work utensils.

I have two job offers overseas. I just have to figure out which one I want then negotiate my contract. There's still the pessimistic side of me that's worried I'll pick one that will fall through. I'm excited though. Two years in another country will be awesome.

Awww, but shouldn't you be able to not see if girls are cute because you're in a relationship? Shouldn't you be repulsed at the idea of dating someone else? *is joking :p*
Yeah, fuck that. If a girl's cute, she's cute. Not much I can do about that. Not that I actively look...well...much. *ahem* ;)

What else. Erm. Nothing yet. Life should get exciting in a month or two, once I hit 18.
You've been lied to an awful lot, clearly. Life doesn't get exciting until you hit at least 23.

I'm 22. Make of the above statement what you will. :p

So what is exciting in your life? Anyone getting married or having babies, or both? :eek:

Nothing exciting at all. :( But at least I'm not getting married or having a baby!

Looks like I'm going to be interning with an environmental group in New York City this summer...pretty excited about that.

I got voice-recognition software, meaning I am back on NSG. It's good to be home!

Which countries and what line of work, out of curiosity?

I started a new job a few weeks ago.

The footy season starts tomorrow, that's the most exciting thing about to happen.

Well, we've known each other since high school... but we ran with different crowds, and we actually disliked each other strongly.

As time passed, and high school ended, we had mutual friends, started hanging out more, and just started dating. That was a little over a year ago, but we both just knew that we wanted to be together.

This sounds like one of those movies / Shakespeare comedies / Jane Austen books, where Law #1 is that characters who loathe one another on sight must marry at the end.

I have a flat!

I'll be moving in with 3 beautiful women in September, close to University campus. I can't wait!

Semi anually whether they need it or not.

Note to self: change underwear in april. Now where did I put that war-sword?

I figured out I can graduate on time (May 2009). A major achievement for me.

I also spent most of the weekend with a guy I'd like to be seeing. And mostly told him exactly how I felt. Somehow, he was surprised. I haven't figured out how he didn't already know.

Oh, I also learned the beginning arm series in pilates. It's killer.

I got an awesome computer that can not only run all my games at the highest settings, but can do so with better performance than the old one could do at the low settings.

...which is kinda sad at the same time.

I just received word that I now have a contact to help me with my missionary work. Evidently the guy is planning on doing long term mission work, just like me, and is excited to see I am wanting to do that. Woohoo! Just what I have been waiting on for a long time now! :)



I proposed to my BF.

On another note, please, please, please don't do missionary work. Why are you so dead-set on annoying people who haven't done you any harm? :(

I proposed to my BF.


Congratulations :)

Congratulations :)

Thanks. :)
He's been sort of expecting it, it wasn't really a big surprise.
Planning the wedding, now, that's the hard part.

I have a flat!

Well, good for you! Hope you listened to our collective heap of advice in the other thread... and hope your flatmates turn out to be awesome. I hear that happens sometimes.

And I agree with your question to Zilam, and your thread about it.

I met this amazing lass. Also, I may well get the job at the pub round the corner from me and therefore I shall soon have money. :D

Which countries and what line of work, out of curiosity?

Working in Norway as an au pair. Speaking of, I finally narrowed it down to one family! XD. I'm not going to officially celebrate though until I have a signed contract.

Cool, your life is just like a movie! ;)

It'll be great...until their collective nagging starts...:p

Well, good for you! Hope you listened to our collective heap of advice in the other thread... and hope your flatmates turn out to be awesome. I hear that happens sometimes.

They're all awesome. Two of them are my current neighbours and the other is a friend of theirs. I listened to the advice and this is what we got:

A 4 bedroom flat.
Rent = £93 a week with bills inclusive. This is great especially as we're in London. Close to excellent transport links and shops. Can't wait!
