What are you up to?
« on: September 22, 2009, 10:44:01 am »
There are a lot of people here who I haven't talked to 1:1 in awhile, and who don't post much. I knew a lot about everybody here a few years ago, but not so much anymore.

So, everybody should answer one or more of these questions!

* Where are you living? (City/State/Province)
* What are you up to? (where are you going to school? working?)
* What do you do for fun these days? (games/sports/etc)
* Are you dating/married?
* Did you go anywhere cool in the past year or two?

3....2.....1..... GO!

Avoiding WoW! Keeping myself busy without it is like a full time job.

* Where are you living? (City/State/Province)
Just outside of Wisconsin Dells, WI.

* What are you up to? (where are you going to school? working?)
I attend Madison Area Technical College, pursuing their IT Programmer/Analyst degree, possibly double majoring with IT Web Analyst/Programmer since it has mostly the same courses. Next year I'll hopefully be working towards the iPhone Applications Development certificate, just for the experience for hobby programming. This summer I'll be training to become a Basic Emergency Medical Technician.

Outside of school, I'm a peon at a local furniture store on the weekends. They're going out of business soon though, but the pay is great for now.

* What do you do for fun these days? (games/sports/etc)
My "fun" is school, really. College can mop the floor with high school as far as the interesting factor goes.

* Are you dating/married?
I'm engaged.

* Did you go anywhere cool in the past year or two?
Other than meeting C0n at a coffee shop a few weeks ago, no. But this winter (I won't have a summer vacation, so I need to make the most of winter break) I'll possibly be driving out to Washington State to visit family for a week or two.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Annapolis, MD

* What are you up to? (where are you going to school? working?)
Naval Academy, majoring in Physics, planning on service selecting pilot

* What do you do for fun these days? (games/sports/etc)
Work out? lol. I can't really go out and have fun except on weekends, and there isn't too much to do here. Other than that I'm doing intramural handball right now, and next semester will be doing fieldball (kinda like handball, but full contact and more intense). I'm also in the men's glee club here, that's pretty fun.

* Are you dating/married?
No... kinda hard when you're stuck on a campus that's 75% men for most of the week.

* Did you go anywhere cool in the past year or two?
Yeah... I was in Norfolk, VA for a month this past summer, San Diego for the next two months, a week during that up in Laughlin, NV. Spring break I went to Argentina and Chile. I've been to Baltimore and Washington DC several times in the past two years too. Also I went to New York, New York. I'll be heading to Seattle for 5 days or so over veteran's day weekend, and will be in San Francisco area for this upcoming spring break. I'm probably forgetting a few places too.

1. Where are you living? (City/State/Province)
     While enrolled in school I am living in Rolla, Mo.  During the summer I live in Springfield, Mo.

2. What are you up to? (where are you going to school? working?)
     Studying and a lot of it.  Go to school at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly UMR).

3. What do you do for fun these days? (games/sports/etc)
    Lead my guild in WoW and hang out with friends.

4. Are you dating/married?
     No.  I haven't dated for over 3 years.  I am in the same boat as Towelie (kinda).  My campus is also about 75% male. : /

5. Did you go anywhere cool in the past year or two?
    I went to Arkansas to Canoe with a bunch of friends.  It was really fun and Arkansas is very beautiful (aside from the ugly ass people with no teeth (not kidding) :P ).



The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

I like how when you finally go there none of us will be there :P Oh, and good luck finding someone who knows us.

No worries, I already arranged to meet Newby's mom!

<edit> For what it's worth, if anybody IS there, I should be getting an extra free ticket to the con, so if anybody wants to see me speak (and others, if they're interested), let me know.
