woo for the new job!

and ah Stanz that's awful about being sick, sounds woeful and I hope you're better soon.
I was intensely sick with mono for a couple of months earlier this year and I was just worn down by it; had to quit my job, defer exams, and I still don't have the same energy levels I used to. I was told it just takes away a year from your life - even after all the flus and rashes and stuff the exhaustion stays behind. :-\

In happier news, I live in the Netherlands now for college. I've been here for a week and have done nothing but orientation so I don't really know anyone just yet, I really miss my friends, and my classes don't start for another week, but it's exciting times. Only my apartment has a ceiling that's falling apart and my fridge doesn't work. My landlord promised to get them fixed by last Wednesday.  >:(

JUVS all that acting stuff sounds awesome - I have a few friends who do drama and I've always been envious of the things they get to do... although none of them have done burlesque just yet. :D

I do miss the old days of this place, and I know the Facebook group isn't really the perfect replacement, but I do wonder as well if people even use forums anymore? They seem to have just been replaced by blanket social media and reddit, which is a shame. :(

oh wow mono sounds intense David!

Hopefully your landlord will do something about all those things! Semester abroad is one of the coolest things! If it's anything like my experience it should be one of the best moments of your life :)

Woo hoo, David! Yay for studying abroad! I wish I did something like that...although, going to school in South Carolina (leaving Hawaii), is I guess sort of like that? Eh. Also, I've never had mono, but I do hear it's like that.

The burlesque thing is quite new for me...just a school fundraiser show for the fall production. It's pretty cool, the people are awesome, and all in all, it's a kind of life-changing thing, confidence-wise. :)

...and I have not heard from Tom!

I have no idea what happened to Tom. He kinda went AWOL shortly before the forum finally collapsed. Did anyone have his email or anything? I can't even remember his last name so I can't find him on Facebook (spoiler alert: there are a LOT of people in the world called Tom)

...I think his last name is Ross? I couldn't remember it at first, but it just randomly came to mind just now.

I think he had a website geared up with tutorials, web design and all that.

That would be nice. I think a lot of us are busy now, though. :( Such is life.

Hey! Hi! Hello! It's Yo!

You guys have no idea how much I missed this! I can't believe I only just discovered this new IO! I'm legit on the verge of crying right now, that's how much this means to me  :'( :o :-[ :-* :-* :-*

It's 1am now and I have to be up at 6:30/7am-ish to be at uni by 9am but I don't want to sleep or do anything else, ever, because I just want to SPAM SPAM SPAMMITY SPAM up this IO!

I hope you all still know that I love you so much  :-*

Yeah, message boards like this seem to have just been taken over by tumblr and reddit, which is sad. Call me an old man but I like the forum format. I could never get into tumblr or reddit but that might have been because I was afraid of losing even more of my free time. :p

Yay, Yo! *waves*

I know I've been spending time on tumblr, twitter, and FB. I do love the forum format. I've actually gone on the Internet Archive for the old forum and had some nice bits of nostalgia. Some great banter there, and some frustration over what the IA didn't save. But it is always nice to have a proper forum to come to.
