Alright guys, it's time we take a break from technology shit and entertainment and stuff...what's new in everyone's lives?
Let me start:
I am currently a camp counselor for a martial arts school's summer camp program. Since I only work the afternoon shifts, I spend my mornings sleeping, lol. When I'm workin', the kids are either training or watching a movie. It is my job to either help teach the martial arts or to make sure the kids behave themselves during the movie, which is nowhere near as easy as it sounds.
Lately, however, the person who broke into my house before has struck again, and my DS is gone, as well as my new PS2. Luckily nothing else was taken, but still...I'm a little unhappy about that. I'm just waiting for them to try to come back...I'm no longer letting my guard down.
*edit* Sorry for posting this twice; my computer had some difficulties and it ended up double posting*end edit*

Hmmm, well, about a week ago, school let out, so now I'm just chillin. lol I might be going on vacation some time in July to New Jersey, but that's a while away. I also plan to get a new cellphone some time soon. (a cingular one if you're interested in knowing.) Really, I don't have all that much going on in my life right now. Laughing

I might be getting a snake (rosy boa) sometime soon. Very Happy

I went to a camp ground, were my grandparents have a trailer set up, and me my older brothers and Dippy went fishing. I caught dragon flies and we used them as live bait, after I wile we got board of catching and releaseing fish [all this fish were preety small] and so me and Dippy saw a fair sized painted turtle swimming in the middle of the river [about half the size, of oh let's say a computer keyboard]. It was to far for us to catch with our net, so we followed it along the river untill it was close enough. Then the turtle swam deep down out of site. We tried to spot it again, just then I saw it swim up to the top, [or what I thought was the turtle]. What we thought was the entire body of a painted turtle turned out to be the head of a giant snapping turtle! I never saw a shelled creature that size before in my life. Eventually, the painted turtle [who seemed to be so small to us now] swam under the bridge, and we were able to scoop it up in our net, and show everyone else our catch. I filmed a video of the turtle running around and then we let it back into the wild.
That was accually a month ago, and still remains the most interesting thing that has happened to me the entire year.

What is new in my life?
You in my bed.
-
Eh, that's nasty...
-
Sleep, eat, play games, eat, sleep, fish, eat, sleep, level up on RO, eat, watch TV, fish, sleep, sleep and eat.

Well, if I had taken an earlier train I might have been blown up by terrorists.
-
Oh yeah I herd about that. Crazy stuff going on. If the UK get's blown up, then everyone will have to fall under the power of King George II! <_<
Well, glad you didn't take an earlier train!
-
power of King George II!
What is that?
Well, glad you didn't take an earlier train!
Thanks.

George W. Bush Jr. Since UK kinda calls the shots around (not that there's a problom with it) and say, if terrorests were to total the UK (but I dought that will happen) then probabbly USA would become "more powerfull" and GWB would be, the grand pooba of the world.
Well, yeah if you think about that it is total bull shit, but it seems like it would.
-
Not much big, just little things every now and then I guess. I'm becoming much more comfortable with my new job, which is definately a good thing. Unfortunately I'm also becoming more and more aware that I'm getting older, and although I won't even be turning 24 until September, it seems like I've wasted half my life already.
-
New job? What are you doing now?
-
I, since I have no life, am working on completing one full game this summer. My original idea was a complex fantasy story that was a political satire. Then I ditched it for a game that was a psychological experiment.
Then I realized I wanted to finish a game. So, a drunk axeman kills people! W00t!
-
Now, I'm wiriting a Harry Potter fanfiction. Got the prolouge done and I'm working on Chapter 1.
-
I am currently reading this topic Very Happy and my face is all messed up cause i fell off a skateboard, but everyone falls, my nose is all scabbed and there's a golfball sized bump on my head. and my game has made no progress whatsoever.
well um thats it
-
I've just finished the Half-Blood Prince, and now I'm wandering around my house, feeling completely lost. Oh well, only 2 more years until (hopefully) some closure. Sad
Oh, and I also posted a sort of game profile on my hosted board here. Just go to the main forum page and scroll down to hosted boards and click on Firestorm Productions.
-
Whoa! You already finsihed HBP? Wow. I'm jeleous. I'm still on Order of the Pheonix! Razz Was it good?
-
It was easily (IMO) the best book in the series, though I'm extremely depressed I'll have to wait at least 2 years for the end...
And the Order of the Phoenix was a small disappointment, though I still loved it Very Happy .
-
Finished Half Blood two days after it came out. Very Happy
It was great + funny.
-
My mom just came in the room and glared at me because I told her that [spoiler]<span style='color:white'>Dumbledore didn't die</span>[/spoiler]. She was mad at me. But I know that if she knew, she wouldn't read it...
-
I finished it the day it came out. Loved it Very Happy
Must...brutally...murder...Snape...
Maybe use that curse on Malfoy again...the one that Harry used on him in the bathroom.
And yes, Order of the Phoenix totally sucked! Poor Sirius Sad
-
I couldn't finish it the day it came out because my sister bought it, therefore she had the right to read it first. It took her until Monday to finish it, then I finished it on Monday as well (around 5 p.m... I think).
She is such a slow reader :angry: ...
-
Heh. I remember how that feels. I don't have a sister, but I have an older brother who went off to collage about a year ago. It was annoying back when he was still living with me.
-
God, If I was reading one of those Harry Potter books. I'd would take me probabbly the rest of my life to finish.
Two reasons
-Can't read long books
-Not a Potter Fan

New job? What are you doing now?
Sorry for the delayed reply, haven't been to these forums in a while. I got a job at a financial printing company called <a href='http://www.bowne.com' target='_blank'>Bowne</a>. I basically format financial documents using HTML, and a proprietary language somewhat similar to HTML that was developed specifically for the company. I actually started at the end of February, and went through about six weeks of training, and now I've been on the actual work floor for a few months now. I make nearly twice what I was making at JC Penney, and do about 10% of the work, and even then, all the work is on a computer, so it's much easier. There are some days where even though I'm there for a full 8 hours, I'll only be working for an hour or two. The rest of my time is spent talking to fellow employees, and browsing the net.
