Hey guys, it seems like aeons since I last logged in on here. After all I have been rather busy with exams etcetera.

So this is just a kind of catch up topic/thread/thing to see how you have all been and what i've missed.

Hope you've all been well.

You've missed fuck all mate to be quite blunt. How's the exams going buddy?

[Fallen Angels95]

The exams went well thank you man. I get the results in August.

I have a performance next Monday or Friday I think it is, that is for the National Theatre of Scotland. It is to be broadcast on the BBC and on National Television so that's taking some preparation. I also have a few Higher Drama performances coming up too.

I just completed my first English essay of the year. It was a short story piece. 1300 words max.

I wrote a Warhammer Fantasy short story ahah

Was it really a Warhammer Fantasy story, or was it your totally original universe 'Morehammer Manatee' its original I swear. Because I have done stuff like that in English exams all the time (not any more though) 

[dx144]

Nothing really, some of us are starting to play Warhammer Age of Reckoning but so far I haven't played with anyone except myself...

[Fallen Angels95]

I gave credit at the end and stated that I didn't own any of the characters named (apart from my own creations) Like the gods etc.

Everything was Lore correct with no fluff etc.

As Fuzzball said it's been nice and quiet here; giving me lots of time to work on the site before EC goes live.

 

ick, agreeing with Fuzzball... dirty.... I feel dirty....

Glad to hear exams went good, I've finally got my degree (been fighting for it awhile now)

Exams are fucking murdering me... I swear AQA is trying to fucking screw everyone over in all the exams to make it look like exams should only be in June so they get more business again by writing them in January. That or the fact they've had to hold up being complete dicks for another 5 months and they're letting it all out at once instead of using January as an outlet...

 

Still on track for AAB for the scholarship I need for a Masters.

You seem to be agreeing with me more and more cru, soon you'll be thinking like me

I think the more evil outcome here is you're becoming more like me #evilGrin

 

Just think of the suffering that would inflict in Iron's personal life. A Puppy like me, but not me!

While I like the idea of Irons pain, I don't want to agree with you that I'm being influenced.

Why not? I'm an upstanding citizen of #GothicWars with a good career and awesome (and totally evil - seriously, if Catty and Naia were to team up we'd be fucked) gf. Not to mention I am a ruthless evil bastard in video gaming and live in NZ. What's not to like?

 

also I have cookies, or rather did - but I'll have more tomorrow

[Fallen Angels95]

Derailed already?

Just the way I like my threads to be aha.


I must admit my exams were frustrating at times because we had no real past paper references due to my year being the so called "Guinea Pig" year for the new SQA exams up in Scotland. They were harder than their predecessors but more straightforward.

On the bright side I have narrowed down my career choices to 5 options:

1: Politics
2: Acting
3: Archeology
4: The Royal Navy (Idk why it just appealed to me randomly and I keep thinking about it due to a long line of military personnel in the family but mainly from the RAF and Army. Only about 4 were in the Royal Navy. One an Admiral I do believe.)
5: Author

Politics - You slowly develop Cuntilitus. 

Acting - Could eventually join Scientology...

Archeology - You'll end up finding an artefact that will bring about the end of the World...

Royal Navy - You'll be surrounded by MEN for long periods of time at sea just lots of sea and men...

Author - Depending on what you write like perhaps a new completely biased Edition which will make people hate your name and burn effigies of you on the internet or you could write stuff like "Fifty Shades of Grey" which I once won on a raffle and some hand moisturizer... Needless to say I gave it away.

 

Choose wisely!

5: Author

1. Everyone will hate you
2. Critics will hate you
3. Ancestor spirits and other cultures will hate you
4. 'In The Navy'
5. Homeless

If you're going to go for #5 I would advise you do it as a backup. My gf has three novels and is still poor and until recently scraped by at Starbucks. Until the novels reach critical mass, assuming they do (her novels haven't launched yet due to stupid publishers which she is now sueing for damages, loss of income and has severed her contract with). If you treat it as a hobby and not a job, it will be more fulfilling in the initial non-successful phase.

 

The rest of your choices are all respectable in their own way, though I would say avoid Politics until you have more years and wisdom; one of the worst things is Politicians with arts degrees or high school diplomas running a country and overruling Engineering decisions leading to colossal fuckups. You'll serve everyone better by learning about who you're serving beforehand - so perhaps try working for councils, or charities, and never lose sight of your limitations of knowledge.

 

Edit: DX pretty much sung the same song as me. First Fuzzball, now DX... I feel really really dirty....

[dx144]

Cause you're filthy...

 

To be honest the only politician who I actually like at the moment is Nigel Farage, many probably hate him but he seems to be more intune with the Public than any of the other major players in the politics world oh and Boris Johnson because he's Boris... Also he wants us to leave the EU and the EU without reforms is going to fuck us up in the long run, if we had reforms then yes it could work but without them we're slowly killing ourselves. I doubt there will be reforms before the next General Election though and I don't want us to be playing the Hokey-pokey with the EU... Just my opinion...

 

I mean David Cameron while in massive Deficit decides to declare war on internet porn which is a great thing to be focusing on...

Ed Miliband's eyebrows are fucking disturbing...

Nick Clegg well because Clegg...

[CruciasNZ]

We have The Internet Party here in NZ stirring shit up (you might have heard of it as the Kim Dotcom party but he's not an MP within it, merely a founding father). Their policies are all written on a forum by their registered members.

 

In short they're about retaking our independance from the US, making the government more  transparent, remove the corruption stemming from gaming the election system National (our Torries) exploit and bringing policies, laws and the economy into the digital age. O and also kicking the current tosser PM to the kerb, works for me!

[dx144]

Well most EU skeptics will be much happier once there are reforms, even though Merkel did go to the British Parliament and tell us if we're hoping for reforms we are going to disappointed.

 

If France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Greece, Britain and a few other members of the EU want to leave it will probably collapse without them especially France and Germany as they are the major players in the EU. 

 

It is said though if we spent a year outside of the EU we would be able to pay off our deficit which might just be wishful thinking but when you look at how much EU membership costs for us you understand why if we were out of the EU we could start to pay off our various debts... We do get some money back but its like me giving you £20 then getting back £10. Its also to say we have trade deals with everyone because we're members but if we weren't members we could openly trade with others...

[Fallen Angels95]

1: Politics.... There's no way I am going to end up like George Osborne and be in charge of the British banks with a History degree thing... I am taking Higher (then Advanced Higher) In Modern Studies and I am also part of my regions Political Youth Forum and part of the Scottish Youth Parliament.

Meh the way I'd run a country is better than what the most recent bunch of PMs have. If we get Independence, even better.

2: Acting is kinda tough at the start but pays well and deeply interests me. Always has, always will. However is there anyone the critics even like? Haha. I attend various drama classes and acting groups and like I said am performing for the NTS on Live National Televison.

4: The Royal Navy.... Well since the Desegregation of the Armed Forces more women have joined the Navy if that helps my case? Ahah. It has appealed to me since I was young. Not because of being surrounded by men, men and more men... But because of the sense of adventure and discipline amongst other things. Shame I am not American, I prefer the uniform over there.

5: Author... I'd be more of a fantasy author in all fairness as that's where my expertise lie. It'll always be my back up option as it takes so long to get published etc.



I used to want to go into Psychiatty but haven't done Chemistry since S2 (Yr8) and I didn't take Human Biology either. It also means spending over a decade in Med School, Uni etc.

Welcome back man.

 

Oh, JC, expect AQA and that lot to feth you over. Trust me, they will if they can.
