Of course this is mostly aimed at those of us who are in post-secondary studies and have, or are about to, finish our semester. It may seem a bit premature for those of you in secondary school, but tough.

So? What do you have planned for the summer? Work? Travel? Running off to join the circus? Come one, come all, let us get excited about warmth, and time off!

Cape Cod. One of my favorite places in the world.

Oh :( I was picturing you in a skin tight superhero outfit and a red cape.

Simple - go and see as many bands I like as possible - the less they tour in the UK the better, because they come around too rarely. Use the fact that this will necessitate me getting a train all over the place because NONE of these bands will come to swansea to go and visit other cities in britain. Apply for university and make a start on getting my acne scarring lasered off. Move out to a better city, preferably one that has a city centre larger than 7 streets. Use all of this activity to try and bring me away from the hermitlike existence I lead currently. Go and visit my mother in glasgow, and catch up with my little brother. Take him shopping for victorian clothes. As a secondary plot, get him in a dress. Shouldn't be tough. At the end of it, hope that I'm fixed.

As well as only for those living in the Northern Hemisphere.

Nothing at all.

You make me sad.

I'm going to be a slack ass and not work, and go to as many powwows as I can in the Quebec region, as long as the court lets me move in July! I need to find an apartment in Montreal still, but now that I'm in at McGill, most of my question marks have become satisfied exclamation marks, and all is good. Camping! Drinking! Dancing! Fucking! Yay for summer!

As well as only for those living in the Northern Hemisphere.

Screw the southerners, they get summer all year round even when they jokingly call it winter.

You make me sad.

If you didn't have a life, you wouldn't care about summer, either.

Please it was freezing this morning

Certainly not weather to go to the beach.

Why it's only 18 degrees at the moment, was about 11 degrees at 7 in the morning. And winter hasn't even started yet.

Research trip to New York (plus get to see Canada and Philadelphia), followed by four months of writing and archival dustiness. The weather peeps predict a hot summer here, so I may try to emigrate to Iceland for real this time. At the end of the summer I'm seeing Explosions in the Sky.

If you didn't have a life, you wouldn't care about summer, either.Quit getting emo all over my thread. It's sticky.

Oh poor you. It was 13 degrees here, but more like 5 with the windchill, and we bloody wear shorts and call it summer! Winter? Bitch, if it doesn't dip below -25, you don't legitimately get to call it winter. That's a law somewhere, I'm fairly certain.

lol :D

I'm pretty sure the same law states that you don't get to call it summer unless you have a week long 40+ heatwave where the overnight temperature doesn't fall below 30. While most of the rest of summer you experience plus 30 degree days.

My summer break is nearly over. :(

Quit getting emo all over my thread. It's sticky.

A) I'm not emo.

B) It's not the emo that's sticky. ;)

(Sorry, I'll cut it out with the innuendo. :p)

Go to Spain and hook up with nanakun's cousin, while nanakun is not around to protect her from me.

lol :D

Tou-fucking-che. Grass always greener etc.

The Summer is a lie, I must work.

Tou-fucking-che. Grass always greener etc.

True, true.

The Summer is a lie, I must work.

This is what I always hated about summer. I always looked forward to it because then I'd 'have time to hang out with friends' that I couldn't see much during the school year. But summer would come, and everyone would leave town or take two or three jobs, and you'd find yourself busier than ever and no closer to the parties you wanted to be puking your guts out at.

Well not this year biznitches! If I have to fly to Indonesia to visit my best friend, I will! Parties WILL be had!

True, true.
And being 'cold' is an excellent excuse to get naked under the covers and spoon, while being too hot sort of makes such things unpleasant.

Catch up on all my reading I've been putting off.

And being 'cold' is an excellent excuse to get naked under the covers and spoon, while being too hot sort of makes such things unpleasant.

that's what the oceans for a place to get close when it is hot.

oh, in addition to my summer plans is to spend some of the money I've been saving on new cooking gear, because for some reason summer seems an appropriate time to learn how to cook lots of delicious spanish food and invite people round to eat and be merry. :)

I plan to finish remodeling my condo, update the bathroom, paint the kitchen, get new cabinets.....etc.

I will also be the loudest parent at my daughter's baseball games.

Other than that I intend to get dragged around by the kids going swimming and stuff.

In July we go to the firefly festival, which consists of about 200 people gathering lightening bugs into jars, at 1am we all meet up and release them together. It's the highlight of the summer.

My biggest goal for the summer is to discover if I really can wear out my vagina. Well I suppose it's more of a 'which one of us will break first' sort of thing.

I enjoyed a Beltane Weekend, and I have the house to myself for the week.

I am on my Summer vacation.

Oh :( I was picturing you in a skin tight superhero outfit and a red cape.

given how much I drink on the cape, this could happen. Though, I tend to just lose all my clothes...

Never worn mine out, wore out my boy a few times though.

I'm just going to spend it tooling round Europe for a month. First stop Germany, then head to Amsterdam for a couple of days, over to Oxford where a mate of mine's studying (and hopefully see Bill Bailey live), back to Europe and down to Switzerland to visit my Aunt and Uncle and then, with luck, to Italy.
Tough, I know, but them's the breaks.

Never worn mine out, wore out my boy a few times though.
The only way he's been able to wear me is out is to be really, really rough on me.

We'll have to make a contest of it.

i sort of forgot to make real plans, so i've got just a random pile of projects to work on. which suits me fine - more time for camping.

but for sure i need to learn spanish well enough to test out of it and read a bunch of shit. also, it looks like i'm not finishing one of these papers now, so that'll go on the list too.

Mmmm true. *Makes plans to move to Canada*

However, it does mean an end to skinny dipping at deserted beaches.

Screw the southerners, they get summer all year round even when they jokingly call it winter.

But it is Winter. It was 11 this morning I think, maybe colder. It gets to -5 celsius where I live. FROST, I TELL YA!!!

All of this, but add in " 'Good' Indiana Jones attire" after 'cape,' and sex after beach. Or on the beach, either one.

Cape?

Cape Cod. One of my favorite places in the world.

I, unlike Sarkhaan, fully intend to go spandex and cape. It's a long story, but I promise pictures after it's all over, just for you Neesika. Well, you, and all of the contestants on NSG's Most Eligible Females.

-snip irrelevant part-

See, you should combine that with a Firefly Festival, including marathon showings of the whole series and an attempt to get either Nathan Fillion or Adam Baldwin to come and do a talk.

Uhh getting laid? Maybe going to a Ren Fair too.

If you can't get laid at Ren Fair....

I'm taking two summer classes, though only one at any given time, and then I have a month completely free.

Except I'll be working the entire summer, too...
Gotta get money for rent/alcohol/pot somehow, after all!

But that means that I won't be able to see them. All because NSG doesn't love me as much as their established folks.

I can't use condoms, getting laid even at a Ren Fair is a tricky proposition.

But that means that I won't be able to see them. All because NSG doesn't love me as much as their established folks.

But I love you, and I'm one of them aforementioned established folks.

My summer starts next month. San Francisco for a couple weeks. Staying in Santa Cruz most of that time at a friends beach house. After that a quick trip to Tahoe for a wedding. Then in August it's off to Washington D.C. to see the sites with a side trip to NYC.

But I love you, and I'm one of them aforementioned established folks.

Hmmm, I don't know about that. Let me check to see if you are up on your membership dues......

I'm so awesome they waived my fees! :cool:

Planning to hit Vegas with some good friends at some point (I seeeeriously need to book room and flight, already) and going to visit my dad in Malaysia in July or August.

I'm so awesome they waived my fees! :cool:

Ahh I found the records. You are past due almost two years. That will be 1 million dollars with interest.

Also, wouldn't that be a great line the US could use on the UN. Past dues? Pff, we are too cool for that. :D

Sleep, eat, mate, repeat.

I thought you called them "High Schools".

Me too!

(I seeeeriously need to book room and flight, already)

I would, but I might wind up going to Lollapalooza in August, and I only have the money to do one or the other, so I continue to procrastinate.

...methinks Lollapalooza would be cheaper. :tongue:

Sit at home on my own bored, since I'm no longer in contact with any of my former friends from school. Summer employment not an option since I'm paranoid about being recognized by my (many) unfriends from school, and my parents don't think its 'safe' given my situation for me to work.

I'll be having the regular massive arguments with parents and the hostile atmosphere with a side order of 'can't you even be bothered to try and use the right name'. On the positive side, I will be on NSG a lot, since there is fuck all else for me to do after my finals.

:( I know what that's like. you have my sympathies.

Plans for Summer:

Possibly get a full time job so I have enough cash for the next and final academic year.
There's a few birthdays in there so travel to these locations and help friends celebrate in style.
Work on my book and hopefully have a full complete draft by the end of summer.
Then the usual drinking and debauchery.

Sleep, eat, mate, repeat.

Sounds good but it isn't really mating when you do it with a blow up doll.

Work. Gots to pay the bills somehow :(

Me too!

Can I volunteer as little brother? I'll even wear a dress...

(UvV seriously needs to update his wardrobe in Victorian style, but just can't afford it).

Anyway, I'm spending most of August either with friends or in the States for a family reunion (practically all of my family are Bible-belt Christians, which will make it... interesting). Also hopefully going to a con in September, depends on funds though. And, at some point, getting results back from examinations, to tell me which university I'm off to.

Hmm, finish PhD thesis, submit PhD thesis, sleep for a week, find a house down south for September, do LARP events, go to conference.

May get a weeks holiday in there depending on how long the thesis takes, if submitted when I aim to, then should get a week back home in August.

I'm working full-time. And moving in with my boyfriend.

My biggest goal for the summer is to discover if I really can wear out my vagina.
Just another Neesika thread that evolves into sexual fantasy? How boring. :eek:

I'm doing summer semester. Again. In all likelihood, I'll be doing it every summer.

I'm doing summer semester. Again. In all likelihood, I'll be doing it every summer.

Heh, summer semester kinda sucks...

but I'm doing it anyway because it will allow me to pretty much coast through my last two semesters with twelve hours each instead of the usual fifteen. :)

Hopefully, this (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=592755&page=2). Though I should note that my summer is not until November/December. Over the next few months, I'll be trying to get my thesis underway properly.

I'm probably going to behave oddly.

More specifically, I'm hoping for more opportunities to play in mud than last year, and I've already begun planning a rugby party in late May that should be fun. My kind of fun. :)

I'm also planning on expanding my magic repertoire and reformulating my acts. I try to pick up at least one new clowning skill every summer and this summer, I'd like to learn some new magic.

:confused:
There is some doubt on the issue?

Until it happens, there is always a chance, however slight, that it won't happen. *nod*

Most people who know me get even more nervous when I don't behave oddly because it usually means I'm up to something delightfully odd. :D

Hmm, I plan on going to a few concerts, get at least one more tattoo, work, play, etc. Nothing too unusual.

Hopefully be able to go camping a few times.

Find job in Boston. Move to Boston. Be happier.

That's the idea, anyway...

Shouldn't this be a semi-annual thread? Not that being Northern Hemisphere-centric is a bad thing, but don't all those folks south of the Equator feel left out?

Of course, by not behaving oddly, you would be behaving oddly by your standards, which would mean you are, by that fact, behaving normally, which would be quite odd indeed.

No not really. We just make our own fun and ignore you all. Makes us feel all big and important.

I can't use condoms, getting laid even at a Ren Fair is a tricky proposition.
At all? They make them out of several materials...

I'm also planning on expanding my magic repertoire and reformulating my acts.I read that as 'ass' and not 'acts' and am now scarred for life.

This is probably the best summer I've ever had coming up. In June my wife and I are shipping off to Swaziland with the Peace Corps for two and a half (maybe longer) years. I'm starting to go a bit stir crazy thinking about packing.

And on another note, I'm heading to my brother's wedding in about a week. Eventful summer all in all.

Volunteer work.
Driver's Ed. (I'll post a thread later in the summer asking for advice)
Find a job.
Learn Korean (I'm taking over the Asian Club as an incoming senior in the fall, and we have a ridiculous number of Korean members straight from Tae Han Min'Guk).
Study for October SAT.
Research colleges.
Visit Canada.
Exercise.
Catch up on gaming I will undoubtedly miss during the finals.
Post on NSG.
Catch up on reading.

Thinking about LG's ass, for shame. :p

However since your name suggests love of the moon there may be something in that. :tongue:

I know Kat, I've tried about a dozen different kinds. I had allergy tests done, I got screened for VDs (I do it once every 6 months to a year normally anyway, can't be too careful even though I'm not active), all kinds of things. In the end they basically just threw their hands up and said "Its gotta be trapped moisture." Such things as baby powder were suggested but to be honest I'm not out to have sex just for sex's sake I prefer to be in a relatively stable relationship with trust and respect and I haven't been with someone who didn't mind taking over the birth control aspect herself (or preferred too) anyway.

Go to college. Continue webcomic.

'sides, he's usually dressed like that, occasionally including chocolate syrup.

Heh...that would be nice. :tongue:

get at least one more tattoo

That reminded me that I'm getting my first tattoo sometime this summer...again, depending on the financial situation.

Center Parcs! in about a month! :D
its a place in the woods where you can go swimming and walking and cycling to your hearts content, as well as other cool activities like sailing and archery, spa stuff and things like that. we booked a "villa" (bungalo) there for a week, so as long as the bastard weather holds up, it'll be great :)
