Soooo now for whatever reason there is a bit of attention directed to the forum, I'd like to direct some attention BACK TO FACEBOOK! Namely, if you're not in the Facebook Group you should be!

Ok now back to this thread!

How are we all? What's new? Life changed big time since we were all active members here, or not at all? DISCUSS SHIT BECAUSE OH DAMN DID I JUST USE A CURSE OH WELL WHO CARES!?

Anyway, my life is more of the same, but now I'm older. I work, it sucks, trying to get a good job is hard. I've become increasingly jaded, bitter, and cynical about many things (namely my own self worth, women, and why I shouldn't drink myself into a coma). That being said my life isn't in the gutter just yet, but it wouldn't take much to put me there. On the flip side, I've still managed to do some youtube videos (last one was two months ago, maybe longer), and write stuff for Deviant Art. Neither outlet will get me paid though, so I struggle to put any real effort into them.

In short, my life sucks because I find it's all about getting money to "live easy" even if it means having to deny everything I am or want to be, which makes me question the point of being alive at all. Also, I haven't been laid in over two years and have more or less decided that romance exists in works of fiction.

Now that I've had my overly depressing and wanky rant out of the way. How is everyone else?

How could you curse in this beautiful innocent place?! Bant! lolz, how times have changed. Anywho, that was a morbid and depressing post which I shall follow up with with sunshine and butterflies~ Seriously though, you need to get out from under that dark raincloud of depression. o.O


I've been working for the same technology company for 3 years this August. I am Team Lead of a group of 4. That part of my life is stressing but I don't hate my job.

I still have my cat, Scruff. He wakes me up at 3am, 4am, 5am by scratching at things and pawing at my face. He's a douchebag, but I love him.

In the past few years I have traveled to Texas, Iowa (Rinny!), Chicago Illinois, New England, and Colorado. One day I plan to travel abroad, but for now that is too expensive and takes too much time.

I've been in my first relationship for 5 months, whoooo. There's been some hilarious firsts. Apparently my natural reaction to her trying to kiss me is to turn my head completely away and say "I don't know how to kiss people." Yeah... that happened. So suave, Nubi. So suave.

Contrary to younger-Nubi's values and my overall shyness: I go out to clubs, dance like an idiot, and drink socially. I remember thinking I'd never ever ever drink at all. Hah. haha. ha.

Life is life. Very busy and socially active, but not as productive as it could be.

Your post is definitely much cheerier! Congrats on getting to a Team Lead position.

Coolio!

I'm waiting to graduate (finally...). Took a year for my thesis, because that whole thing was kind of a mess for a long time. Not sure yet what I'll do next year. Weighing my options. Either I study something else (few options) or I get to work, but that's a bigger mystery.

I AM applying for a position as a uni assistant, tied to a phd. That would be awesome! I'd love to go into academics and at the very least it's a steady and well paid job for 6 years. Interview tomorrow! I probably won't get it, but I'm sure as hell gonna try! Got a new suit and everything for the interview haha. My old suit is way too big; it's silly. I lost a bit of weight the past year or two lol

Also, doing plenty of gigs with the two bands I'm in. One of them is still my dad's blues band, with varying set ups. Sometimes it's just the two of us, other times it's the full band, other times still it's together with another band (friends of my dad's).

The other band is my own, with original material! We recorded a demo! I was in the studio! It was exciting! :D
Pretty happy with how the demo turned out, actually. Writing my own lyrics and looking for vocal melodies has been a great experience and has made me appreciate vocalists and lyrics in general a lot more. Shit is hard, yo. But I've always loved writing (in one form or another) so right now it feels like the start of living the dream.

We hope to get a lot of gigs out of that 3-track demo. Two set dates already. Hopefully another one to be decided soon in my favourite pub. Gonna pass by a lot of pubs we'd like to play at with the cd. Gonna try and hand it in at the local student radio station and hope they want to play it sometime.

While all that is happening, just keep working on new material :D

Can't think of much else at the moment, so that's about it for now, I guess :p

That one guy from way back when

Oh god... Uhm. I relocated for work a few month back. I'm in Japan now. I've learned a few phrases since I arrived here in April, and am probably watching more anime now than ever before. I've concluded there are several ways to say "no" (situation dependent), but just one way to say "yes". I can't have a conversation yet, but I've managed to sign up for one of those store reward point things at a local anime store. Priorities, I has them.

I've been to three different countries, on three different continents, and seen two different oceans up close (as in on the beach).

I got married earlier this year. She is, disappointingly, not here yet, but will be in a couple months. I will say she is super nerdy (and she agrees).

I do not currently supervise anyone, but I supervised someone when I was back in the states. That was an interesting experience that I learned a lot from.

I think I made $10 off youtube videos, which is something that I really need to get back into doing, but damn it all I'm busy with anime and work and stuff.

SoS, what are you youtube videos about? I know quite a bit about how to monetize things on YouTube and what their policies on things are, as well as a lil bit on effective advertising.

Everyone's lives sound quite lively, and successful! All I can think is "TAKE ME WITH YOU" XD

As for my channel? There should be a thread in here somewhere with a link to it if you're interested in watching anything on it. Most of it's garbage until this year though, and even that's not the greatest. I find I come across as boring in the videos where I try to be entertaining, and only get complimented on how "real" my depressing, self-indulgent, hate my life/blame the world videos are.

I also have been putting stuff up on Deviant Art that are less depressing than usual lately. It's not fantastic stuff, but I like that I've gotten away from angry poems and stuff.

Well, now its my turn...

Howdy folks, it's Weber here, and I think things in my life should be making me more worried than they do. Our lease is about to run out on our apartment and none of my roommates, myself included, is up to date on rent.

Compounding on that, is the fact that I was fired less than a week ago now, so no income either, while I do have a few irons in the fire. Sadly, however, I only have 7 dollars to my name right now and very little food. If I dint live in the most densely populated city in Indiana, I likely would be unable to survive on that.

I went out with my last girlfriend about a year ago. She was cute, funny, and sweet. She was also a slutty girl who had no gag reflex, couldn't get pregnant, and preyed mostly on older men (her last boyfriend before me was in his 40s) with myself being an exception, it seemed. She eventually dumped me via text, citing that it was not me, but her, that she still wanted t be friends, and the kicker, she still had feelings for hr ex girlfriend.

I sent her back a picture of Yao Ming.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I am currently posting this on my fone (for some reason, "phone" is the only word I abbreviate while texting... felt like I needed to clarify that), which is currently the fastest computer I own, as my laptop and desktop both died horribly. What I lack in being social on the internet, I make up for in being social IRL. For the last few months, my home has been privvy to about 10 groups of couch surfers (some were more than one person) which has led to many nights of getting drunk and learning about other cultures, places and lethargy of those who live there.


Tl;dr: I lost my job. My last girlfriend, whom rocked my world, told me she was a lesbian. I host people from around the world who feel the same about their home country as I do about my own, that is, not very patriotically.

I could probably arrange this. I'm known to drag people into doing things.

You have my curiosity.

@Chrono: Damn, that's a pretty harsh situation you're in. The whole no work/money thing that is. I lost a job while I was living out of home myself, but luckily I was able to move back in with my parents (it's increasingly common for people to live at home until age 30 here). I hope you find a new job soon.
