2008 is half way done: what are you looking forward to?

[Phoenix Dark]

-I can't wait for college football to start up again. I'm really salivating to see Michigan this year. I know we're not going to be good this year but I'm interested in seeing how the spread offense works, as well as the new players adapt to it. Plus I can't wait to see how the new strength and conditioning plays out.

-Fall/Winter semester: just want to get done dammit. I still have a way to go sadly, but I plan on taking 16-20 credits each semester if possible.

-NFL: jeez I just want to watch some football I guess. There isn't much to look forward to when you're a Lions fan but hey, anything is possible if you believe!

-MF DOOM: anything would satisfy me. If I had my wish 2008 would see the release of Madvallain 2, DOOMposter, Doom Starks, DangerDoom...but yea that won't happen  :'(

-ADWD: It's not coming out this year, but fuck just give me something to looking forward to in 2009. Spring 2009 release? Come on

-Thanksgiving: I'm gonna bring her to the family dinner, or maybe I'll go to her family's dinner. Dunno should be entertaining either way

-TDK:

Obama: I'm gonna piggybank on Cheebs, AKA lucky bastard who's an Obama Fellow

[MrAngryFace]

-This weekend

[Eric P]

i'm looking forward to anything which doesn't have to do with work

[Tucah]

Also back to school in the fall, I love my college.

[CajoleJuice]

- TDK, QoS
- Wimbledon final between Federer and Nadal
- MLB playoffs (even though they won't include the Mets)
- the rest of the summer getting off of work early on Fridays


 My friend also brought up a possible trip to Europe, but I don't see it happening.

[Human Snorenado]

-some flicks.  Benjamin Button, the HST Gonzo flick, Dark Knight.
-some games.  Viva Pinata 2 and pocket paradise ftw.
-the release of the new Malazan book, Toll the Hounds promptly on schedule in September.  Then the next two in the following years.  SUCK ON IT MARTIN, YOU PIZZA EATING HACK!
-mostly, tho, I am looking forward to the post-November reality of the Republican party being an essentially meaningless regional afterthought of a political party.  If the Dems can pull off 60 seats in the Senate (a very real possibility) then they're over and done with, you'll probably see the more moderate GOP members (Olympia Snowe, etc) crossing the aisle.  I'm getting a boner just thinking about it.

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea I'm looking forward to the election. Should be an interesting race in Michigan. I'm not as confident as you dude, but I'd rather be in Obama's shoes than McCain's socks n sandals right now

-Lich King: yea it's WoW, haters go to church

-STARCRAFT 2

[CajoleJuice]

I would've put SC2 if it were coming this year.

[Don Flamenco]

Taking the LSAT in October   

can't wait until its over.

In between now and then-- preparing for the LSAT.

[CajoleJuice]

Good luck!

- finishing uni, moving away from home and getting a good ass job
- Olympics since nearly everybody wants this to be some sort of failure for China
- McCain winning since the world won't end if he does
- Warhammer though I get the feeling I play the beta and then delete it like I did WoW

Getting engaged

good work

Have a ring yet?

No ring yet, we're gonna do it this fall. We started hammering out the details a few weeks ago.


edit: I'm 22

and thx guys 

[CajoleJuice]

Well, congrats.

[AdmiralViscen]

What does the average person spend on a ring lol

[AdmiralViscen]

That's awesome, did you have to go someplace special for that kind of cooperation? How much time did you invest with him?

How much did it wind up running you? PM if you want.

[Phoenix Dark]

A lot more than they should.  Mine was cheap, because we were super broke at the time, but I designed it myself (with a jewelers help).

+10 spirit
+2 stamina

 

[AdmiralViscen]

That's really cool. Will any jeweler do this or only ones that aren't chain stores? I want to do this.

[CajoleJuice]

I've never been to a wedding, can I come to yours, AV?

[AdmiralViscen]

Probably, she's inviting like twice as many people as I am. She has a huge family and if third cousins aren't invited they shit talk you

We're going for Jan-Mar 2010 btw

[CajoleJuice]

I don't see any of my friends getting married before that. I'm crashing it.

Haven't gone that far yet

[AdmiralViscen]

Jewelers that aren't chain stores, so start asking around for someone who does custom work.  i asked people I knew who own a small design boutique and they gave me the name of someone who did nothing but.  Depending where you are you should be able to find someone fairly easily (or not).  Feel free to pm me if you have any questions etc.

OK, thanks.

I'm in New York so there should be something, unless all the big retailers stamped out the little guys.

None of my idiot friends will know shit about this lol

[duckman2000]

Being able to enjoy the winter holidays without skull base surgery looming in the near future, that will be nice. On things, I'm looking forward to an awesome crop of video games this Fall, and hopefully I'll be able to reap enough profit from my overseas paintball business to invest in a laptop. Maybe a trip to LA and SF too.

[AdmiralViscen]

Well, Long Island. I guess I'll check the phone book.

[TVC15]

I'm going to get a case of this and just go corpulent on it.

[AdmiralViscen]

Haha we're talking on AIM now and she's telling me how she doesn't care how much it costs or it's carats or what her friends/fam think of the size of the rock

best woman ever?

[FlameOfCallandor]

 

You believe her.

[AdmiralViscen]

Hey shit for brains, I'm the one who knows her

[xnikki118x]

Getting engaged

OMG CONGRATULATIONS! And ME TOO!

What does the average person spend on a ring lol

It's supposed to be 2-3 months salary, but I think that's absolutely ridiculous.

[duckman2000]

I believed my wife when she said she loved her engagement ring. Turns out she was just thinking practically, and really doesn't like it very much.

Finally quitting my job.

congratulations nikki and AV!

My wife didn't care either. 


FoC doesn't know shit about women.

Lying about what people spend, or lying about that I think it's ridiculous? I'm not lying about either, but I was curious as to which statement you're referring to.



Really and truly, I don't understand people who spend upwards of a few thousand on a ring. I also don't understand why people would buy from Tiffany's, hah. [Even though I did go there to try on rings!]

[Cormacaroni]

My wife and I are on our 2nd set of wedding rings...will probably get another set this year! I keep destroying mine. Getting new ones is fun but I heavily recommend taking them off when working with your hands etc...

My parents were married for 20 years in May and my dad is on his third wedding band. He lost his first one when he was in Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm. Then he had this bad habit of spinning his ring on a table and slamming his hand on it, and one time the thing bent lol. So this is his third. My mother still has her first one.

[Cormacaroni]

I destroyed my first one at my stag party (I'd been wearing the ring for quite some time before the actual ceremony...) when we went to a heavy metal bar in Shinjuku. We ended up pounding the tables all night long while headbanging  - my ring was practically hammered flat after that.

[xnikki118x]

That's hilarious.

[Cormacaroni]

DCharlie clearly wanted to go to a titty bar but prevailed

it was quite disappointing. he can't write like Erikson, and the whole thing is a terrible cocktease. Still worth reading as part of the Malazan tapestry I guess but I passed on his new book in hardcover.
