I'm focusing on upgrading all of my high school academics. I graduated from high school in 2006, but I was lazy and had no direction. My grades were poor because I simply didn't do any of my work, I got by purely on attendance and surprisingly good test marks. As far as direction goes, my school just handed out pamphlets, and this was supposed to help us make our choices. I graduated with Math essentials(pseudo-math), basic English, and Forestry as my science. I'm preparing to enter training in one of three basic fields, nursing, radiography, or hematology. I need Biology 12, Math 12, English 12(who knows why), and possibly Physics 12 or Chemistry 12 depending on which I decide on. I quit my job to focus on this, so I've got my work cut out for me. Luckily the school I'm doing the upgrading with cleared me to skip biology 11 since I already have a medical background. | |
following my dream, as i have become a published comic book artist (self-published), and i continue to improve my craft and expand my market base. | |
I'm married, own a home that we're renovating, getting to know my stepson and considering a family of my own. I'm looking to advance my career in retail and customer service.. which I do because I actually enjoy it. I'm learning to ride a motorcycle, since I hate cars and refuse to have a licence for one. My wife and I want to visit Japan next year, so we're going to start learning Japanese. I'm also considering getting back into Archery or taking up a Martial Art to get into shape, and maybe a guitar. Probably a midlife crisis incoming tbh >.> | |
I plan to continue plodding along through life with no expectations at all. Enjoy that one internet! | |
In my first year of uni doing a Bachelors in Maths (I should be in my 2nd year, but last year I took a gap year to travel) Learning Afrikaans - I go to South Afirca every summer to do charity work, and wanna be able to speak the same language as the kids there. | |
Not really doing anything. I am in training for I.T. but that is going pretty meh. | |
Wait, whaaat? There was actually supposed to be a POINT to all of this?! Well. Bugger me. All this time I thought I was doing great just getting out of bed. I work five days a week at a job I like with people I like, which is damned near a first for me in all the times I've had to work for anyone but myself. I'm working on some writing projects at a piecemeal rate of speed. I'm crafting my own super-hero pen-and-paper RP game and writing a D&D campaign which I may be running as soon as Tuesday. I've been trying to find the ambition to draw (to match some of the stories I'm working on) but having next to no success there. I can't seem to find a consistant style I want for my characters. I started reading novels again, thanks to a co-worker who turned me onto Simon R. Green. I'm reading comics again; which I missed. I stopped reading in '92 and just started picking them up again in earnest last year. In all, life isn't going bad. If I won the lottery, it'd be alot better, but for now, i'll settle for what I've got. | |
I work a good job....its not really interesting or challeneging (actually you could train a monky to do it) but Its really good for me and could be a million times worse so Im just cruising along, indulging in the things I want (with money and very little expenses) I know long term I want to do...somthing, but what is anotehr story | |
Currently resisting the powerful urge to make a 'Your mum' joke. OT - Hoping to move out of the family home again at some point this year, and also start going Airsofting more often to justify buying a Tokyo Murai M14 SOCOM. | |
Right now I am chasing a girl out of my league. | |
Working towards being an aerospace engineer and hopefully I might get a job at the worlds largest weapons-manufacturer (that's Lockheed Martin if you didn't know already). | |
I actually only recently gained any sort of major direction in my life. | |
...Making Let's Plays? | |
Writing a book (just had to type writing out 3 times, so... shit) | |
Right Now I am: | |
- Trying to learn to play the Piano again | |
Working as a software developer. (And hoping to build a career.) And playing Bastion. | |
Out of curiostity, are you making a profit from it? Or did you start it so recently that it hasn't really come off the ground yet? OT: Well when I'm not at school learning how to become a carpenter/builder or spending my entire day in my room on the internet, I'm fapping in traffic tunnels at 5 in the morning on Fridays. Okay this has only happened once, and I have no plans on making a weekly ritual, but I might do it again sometime because it was surprisingly fun. | |
At the moment, I'm looking for pretty much any job that'll bring in enough money to support myself. Besides that, I'm divide my time between gaming, watching films and anime, and trying to finish a short story to (hopefully) send off to see whether it was worth all the hassle and effort it took to write the damn thing. | |
Finishing A2s. Then I'll get into a university for my desired career, fail to make friends there, become the passive aggressive postit note guy, then get my degree, fail to get a job or start my own company, then use the fact I have a bachelors in science for game design as conversation point at parties. Also, I've discovered that when I play Metal Gear Solid 2, it becomes Super Meat Boy. | |
Enjoying the hell out of my life by being lazy and doing fuck all... Well, I am playing Pokémon Yellow. | |
Working in support for a games company it's fine, not where I want to be overall but it pays very well, living with someone fine at the moment see it goes and playing as many games as possible and going out on my weekends. Not as depressing as it sounds heh. | |
I am: - Currently at university | |
Pfff, not much; | |
failing. everything i apply myself to fails, cant find a stable job to save my life. So the positive things i am doing are training and gaining muscle mass. | |
I am finishing my last semester of college. Getting a BS in Applied Math, with minors in Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. | |
Growing a veggie garden | |
Got my foot in the door of a top financial firm, hopefully gonna use that to grab a preferred loan for a house. Getting married later this year, but I'm still lonely as hell cause wifey is overseas till I get my own place. Forever looking to find a comic artist to collaborate with. Seriously, do you guys just hate money or something? | |
Maybe you should PM Melanie McGreevey lol? OT: I ask myself the same question everyday... *ahem* I don't really. I'm currently unemployed but constantly applying for jobs that don't seem to want to let me do them. It's not like I don't have a degree or anything... >.> Aside from applying to millions of jobs, I'm also a voluntary feature writer for a videogame website and co-writing a script for an online animation. I also read an obscene amount because, hey, you gotta unwind somehow, right? | |
eating more goddamn vegetables. | |
Trying is the first step to failure. -Homer simpson- OT: nothing , i am just coast through life , going with the flow , with no real goals and i a perfectly happy that way . I live day by day , since i may not live to see tomorrow , so stressing about my future seems pointless . I am not materialist nor superficial , so i don't care about having a big car or a giant home or fancy newfangled ipads to read on the subway like most people do ( seriously i haven't seen anyone on the subway do anything else with an opad than read). I'm basically existing as opposed to "living" according to most people , but meh whatever . | |
Still in High School, determined not to fail any classes. Taking AP Language and Psychology (which is apparently a more advanced class), and I'm going to be taking AP Literature and AP Psych next year. Hoping to get into a college (still to be decided), but I'll have to work my ass off over the summer to get some packets done for more credits. Fucked around my freshmen year because I am an idiot, and my sophomore year because I thought I'd be moving to a different state, and because I am an idiot. On my own time, which is to say working to better myself, not my college resume, I'm reading Nietzsche, have Voltaire, Plato, and Carl Jung lined up next, and I've begun writing my own thoughts down so I can critique or refine them later. Kicking around ideas for a novel. Drawing portraits of my favourite people (so far: George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Christopher Hitchens, Dave Chappelle, Stephen Colbert, and Daniel Tosh; interesting how all but one are comedians) to get better at sketching. Dieting and working out so I don't have to look at a mirror and damn myself every day. | |
I took and left a course in Game Design, but learned enough out of it that I'm capable of self-learning whatever I need, and was slowly making a prototype/demo. That's currently on hold though. More recently, I'm expanding my social contacts, gotten back into writing, am learning how to do art properly, have quite a few on-going projects and even a small fanbase, and am saving quite a nice little chunk of money so I can leave the country by the end of the year. All things considered, I'm not doing a bad job of moving forward, but there's plenty I'm still after. Shame these things take a lot of time, and jumping ahead a few steps only makes things messy. | |
Right now I'm not doing a lot, I just lost my job due to the store going bust and the other job I had lined up has been lost.....for the same fucking reason. So I'm wallowing in self pity for a week and then getting back on with the grind afterwards. | |
