...Just kidding, no I'm not.

But I haven't completely forgotten the glory days, when I founded this region, with the Axiom, Jethnea, Lords and Jolly Roger guilds. Those were some of the best months I've ever wasted (let's be honest here, we're playing a game here but there is such a thing as time well-wasted.)

Figured maybe some of you (or at least Aisli and Hadi, nobody else probably gives a fuck :P but if DYP is still around, hullo you old bastard) would like an update?

My laptop got stolen first week of April. The part that sucks for you guys is that I lost everything related to NS. So I no longer have the original photoshop files for any of the skins, EMT issues, or any images documents etc that have anything to do with NS. Naturally, that goes on top of hundreds of other documents between important classified soccer information (as in, you know, financial and personal information for hundreds of children in my soccer club), tons of former papers and tests, all of my music, pictures, photography... yeah that sucked. It felt strangely liberating though to have my laptop stolen. 2011 has been a changing year for me... January through March were very kind to me. Found the perfect girl finally, who is basically a female version of me minus the swearing and obnoxiousness. I might share a pic of her with a couple of you later on if I catch you on MSN or something unless you already have me on Facebook. I just generally was enjoying life until I had my laptop stolen but again it was kinda liberating, felt like a change in life scenery and allowed me to put a LOT of stuff behind me. I couldn't bring myself to delete photos or conversation logs with my ex-girlfriend, even though she was abusive and downright horrid to me, so in the long term it was almost a blessing in disguise to have that stolen.

Plus, my new laptop that I just bought today is fucking sexy. 3.0 ghz, 4 GB RAM, 256 dedicated memory (on a laptop! I know, right?).... which is all above average but when you consider I paid $400 for it brand new from a box store, I'm pretty impressed. Thank you, tax returns!

More stuff:

--I work at a bank now. Yes, I am friendly and approachable and actually pretty social in real life, despite the fact I spent over 6 years slaving away at NS.

--I'm a fully committed soccer executive. I am now not only a referee, player and coach but was elected as Head Referee and Director of Competitive Soccer with my home soccer club. Pretty badass job. The team I'm coaching this year is Under-15 Girls, my younger sister's team. I found that coaching is my true passion. Sadly only refereeing pays anything, but it looks sweet on a resume.

--That book I was writing never came to fruition but I haven't given up on it. (Europeia was the main place I discussed it but I think some of you might remember when I was talking about that.)

--One more year and I finish university, thank god (Commerce degree) but then I want to go back and take a college course in advertising and graphic design before I venture into the real world. My goal is to be a marketing/advertising corporate executive.

Yeah, other than that, holla. What's been going on here in Equinox lately? Anyone feel like giving me the 10-second rundown? I'll check this topic for a couple days before I disappear completely again.

Erue, you posted! :o

Actions do not require end punctuation, since they're not sentences. :P

Sup Falc. Some people remade Lords, they're a little quiet. Some people remade Axiom. Things are a little quiet round here. I suppose a lot of people have exams around here. *Goes back to sleep*

Falcy!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

That is all fantastic to hear!! I mean, I knew about the laptop part - I remember when you posted about that on facebook and you told me about that. I've had a laptop stolen before, so I know how that goes. It's the worst, but yes, it can be sort of freeing at the same time.

CONGRATS on the new girl! You deserve someone good and who you can be good to back. Your ex was a tramp and she was horrid to you. And you stuck by her for way too long. You know that, though. Thank God that you've moved on from that (especially now that the laptop with all those convos are gone - there's no sense in going back over that stuff, not with her). Liberating indeed! :D

A bank? Do you like it? It sounds like you do.

Falcy! I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well! Honestly and truly!! One year left of college! That's fantastic! :hug:

Thanks for popping over to visit. You're an honorary member of JRS, by the way, so you're welcome to post in the guild if you want (...if you want) before you wander away again from Equinox for your next space of time. B)

As for EQ - we're just puttering along as always. It's a bit, I dunno, slow at the moment, I'd say. I think we all need a kick of activity or something. New members, fresh blood. We've been trying to recruit to help with that - recently passed a mandatory recruitment act for government members. Like Tomm said, Axiom is back, Lords is back... What else? Hmm. Oh, I've adopted/birthed a billion kids so you're a great great grandfather in NS now, hahahaha!

Also, Jahka is still a whore. *nod*
