I'm glad you enjoyed it - did they play any new stuff, or was it all just "Here I go again" and "This must be love"?

He claims he'll be doing more catch-ups at the end of the week, so hang in there.

Well, he'll have to hurry - I've only got 880 Saves left :P

You're not even close. My new real name shall be something genuine, but it's deciding which name I'll pick.

I'm sure you'll pick something that's suave, sophisticated and perhaps a little bit unusual when the time comes.

I won't be naming myself as Bahamut, even though I'd love to. Seriously, how would the workers react to that name?

Well, the working classes would still have to refer to one as "sir", or "my liege", so it shouldn't cause too much hassle

Looking forward to the final of Queen's today... if Murray wins he'll be the first British player to win Queen's club in something like 70+ years.

Understood.

I think if I were to quit uni it would be the worst possible choice I could make... but these things are subjective.

Damned good mod, decent chap and well known martial artist on NG. Not bad.

I appreciate that, and hopefully I'll make it to a few more meetups in the future and meet some more of the userbase to spread the word of my existence, lol. Speaking of which, I might drop Luis a PM and see if he's planning to organise a London meet this year.

Whistle status isn't the be all end all of becoming a review mod, though. Unless you have a garbage ;P

The gay porn helps as well :P

The more gay porn the better, really. We all know that's why Transformer was modded ;P

At 6/12/09 06:01 AM, Auz wrote: How did you do on your first (?) year by the way?

Not entirely sure yet as I haven't gotten my results through, but I put a decent amount of work in (especially compared to some people I know, lol), so hopefully I'll have done reasonably well. I try to aim for A's and B's for the most part, and only got one C in a piece of coursework throughout the year... so yeah. It's basically all on the exam results.

It's strange how when I was at school and sixth form college, I never really applied myself in the slightest, but at university I've made the effort to do fairly well. I know that I could still try even harder than I did this year, but the fact alone that I've actually become self-motivated is pretty cool.

None of my friends actually frequent NG anymore. The guy who introduced me to the site signed up in February '04, but he doesn't visit the site these days. One of my housemates signed up to the site in '06, but he doesn't really use his account other than for favouriting the odd flash submission.

I'm amazed at how you can manage to get through all these nights. I wouldn't even last that long.

You get used to it after a while, lol.

The worst thing was re-fresher's week, which was the last week of the university year... my friends and I had all gone so crazy with various substances over the previous month that by the time the final week came around, we really had to force ourselves to actually go out. Had a few good nights, but the fact that we actually had to MAKE ourselves go out in the first place was pretty awful, haha.

Yeah, my friends do fave the odd submission as well, although it's been a while since they saw a flash they truly liked. I guess they prefer the content they see on YouTube these days or they're waiting for me to get my lazy ass to go back to working on my 100th flash. ;_;

I'm amazed at how you can manage to get through all these nights. I wouldn't even last that long.

You get used to it after a while, lol.

I probably would, but I'd much rather keep my sleeping pattern more organised. I have enough trouble trying to get up before midday and often sleep until 1PM. Sometimes I'll even get up at 2PM, which is something I don't want to do and it's one of the reasons why I really want to get into full-time employment really soon. At least having a job will keep my sleeping patterns more organised...That is, if my dad's snoring doesn't keep me awake all night.

I'm hopeful that PW will do just that. Also, at £6 that is a steal.

Indeed it is. I even got the game when Steam had a mega sale on Christmas, so that was £5.40. Mind you, I only found out about the game a few days before, so the sale was coincidental.

And what a fantastic coincidence it was :D

Whoops, sorry. I can buy you a new monitor.

Ya damn well better ;P

Alright, let me know which monitor you want. ;)

I kinda like this one.

HOLY SHIT, SO DO I! :O

Seriously though, I was aware of this when you mentioned your birthday on my birthday news post last year. :)

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I had no idea about you though.

Oh, I thought you were aware. Heh, 12th July will be quite hectic with birthday threads. There's my birthday, your birthday and gumOnShoe's birthday. There might be someone else on the BBS with the same birthday as well. :o

Haha, if I could be sure as to all the regs who have that birthday we could make the official 12th July birthday thread, just to cover us all.

Yeah, that golden aura seems to scare them. Coop frequented the LUL a long time before he was modded, so by now he's a permanent fixture. That makes his golden aura less scary I guess.

Wow, you still remember that?

I know what you mean. I can remember the wierdest things, like quotes from movies, etc. . But when I attend a lecture my memory seems to be a big hole and when the lecture ends I don't know what the prof was talking about. :/

Lol, to be honest I´ve never really done much at school and now that I`m at university I do even less xD Skip a lot of lectures and I barely ever do any homework. I just study for the exams a lot and usually this results in a 6 out of 10 (about equal to a C I think). Which is fine with me, I don´t really feel the need to aim any higher.

But sometimes I wish I was a bit more self-motivated though, because on some subjects you really can´t lay back for a whole period =/

8,000 EXP. W00T!

Oops, meant to post this up yesterday, but long story short it was warm out and the pool water was also warm.

Only 2,000 more to go for the ultimate goal. I guess I'll see you guys again whenever I can manage the motivation to get 8,000 Medal Points. Also, just submitted something last night so if anyone is a Resident Evil fan (Resident Evil 1 to be exact) then you can check it out if you want.
