We got a kinnect.... kinnect is fun but it really hurts when you're a lazy man


.... And that's why I'll never by one of those !

Nothing more to say, still learning maths and physics.
It's a long long way to go to ... well, I don't know, knowing stuffs ?

   I've made some major changes in my life, starting back in late November. My husband and I seperated for good finally. It was a long time coming and very necessary. It got to the point where it was effecting me both emotionally and physically, so I got rid of the problem. It's just me and the kids and we're ALL a lot happier. For the past several months I've done a lot of soul searching, and getting back in touch with me, not who my husband wanted me to be. Went on a couple dates, both were nothing to write home about, so I've been going solo since early January...and I'm fine with that. Not willing to jump into anything. We all know my ability to find trouble and thats what I would like to avoid :) I've been friends with a really great guy for over a year now, but the past month or so, we talk several times a day on the phone, and I only see him once in awhile, but never on a date. For now, I'm taking it one step at a time....baby steps. I've learned from past mistakes, to look before I leap...and there's always a line that should not be crossed. Hell, I didn't cross the line, I used to play chicken wth Mack trucks. Older and wiser...I've stopped playing in the road. Kind of enjoying being me again, it's been about 20 yrs. since I knew who that even was, and it took me awhile to remember that. NO BC it's not alzenheimer's. <(beat ya to the punch). Just touching base and letting you guys know whats been going on in my life.

REALLY hope things continue to slot together for you.

One thing to think about - sometimes not knowing where you'll land is half the fun of jumping ;)

I guess one could say Ive been "wandering the wastes" of the not-so-post-apocolyptic world....Life has changed alot since the days when I first found the village, and in many ways ive been kind of "lost" for a long time and in others Ive found alot of things that Id otherwise not have ever noticed.

This year I'll be turning 26 and to be honest, thinking back on it, Im the same person I was all those years ago, but im also completely different in many ways.... Ive gone through alot and dealt with some things that in retrospect Id been afraid of for no good reason and in other cases realized alot of things id been dealing with were things that I only feared for the fact I didnt want to accept them as being the way things have to be.

All that said.... sorry for the indeciperable gooble-dee-gook, I think im gonna just wander back into the Village, find a place to kick back, and knock the ashes of the past off of my boots, and see just how things have changed here.... and hopefully find that some of it has stayed the same  :)

The main difference is we're considerably less busy than we were back in the day.

And BC is even older now.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

It's been 3 years since I've last been on here. Not sure what compelled me to pop UV into google but I'm glad I did. Short update because I doubt many of you remember me: One semester left of my bachelor's, on a year-long hiatus working on a study abroad program in northern England, and missing my dog.

How are all of you? It's great to see that this community is still kicking.

I remember you.

Really.  And welcome back.

But I'm not sure 'kicking' is the right word.  Perhaps 'twitching' is more accurate.

Liz passed the Illinois Bar exam!

Third times the charm.

Now I just have to get a job. The severance from my volunteer layoff isn't going to last forever.

That's awesome!
Best of luck on the job front - from what I've heard, jobs are rather scarse over there.

I'm looking for something new myself.  Current job is going downhill rather quickly, to the point that I don't see the business surviving another year.  So far I'm going three for three on applications getting me interviews, but the lack of a formal IT qualification is letting me down.

Rather close to just quitting outright so I can go into full time study to get the qualification I started on 14 years ago.

I remember you! Glad the bungee cord worked. We all come back ...it's inevitable. We may not always stay for long, but we always come back. :)
