if anything has changed it might be that im less sociable nowadays. people in general annoy me except a select few. i often hear that with my intelligence and ability to learn stuff fast, i should do something with my life. maybe i'll go back and finish my law studies some day. i doubt it though. and yeah, took my drivers license last week. dont know why really. just seemed like a thing one should do at some point. | ||

My real name is Oscar and I live in the Delft, The Netherlands. I'm 26 and (finally) moved out of my parents house in january (was 25 back then btw) and pretty much enjoying living the way I do now. Living in an apartment I share with 3 others, 1 guy, 2 girls (sisters) and all's going well. I'm currently doing my college graduation project at a research company in Amsterdam (I study applied physics). The work isn't all to bad, but the fact that it takes me 1,5~2 hours to get there each day sucks, it basically makes me wake up at 6:00~6:30 and get's me back home at 19:00. I recently started working out again and totally regret not having done anything sport-like in the last 8 months, I feel fucking weak when I pick or adjust weights just by comparing what I did not too long ago, still it feels good that I'm doing it again, actively tiring your body feels nice tbh. I've been practicing guitar for about 2 years now and hopefully will be continueing lessons in about 2 weeks from now (not sure if I can attend them yet). I'm also gonna get my eyes fixed (laser treatment) on the 13th of october (friday the 13th, can't pick a better date than that :D), and it's so gonna rock to be able to see the time when I wake up, not having to screw around with contact every day, it will own, plus, my parents are paying for it, sort of a near-graduate present thing  I also really enjoy skying and should pracise it a lot more than I do now (indoor tracks are made for a reason and I should be at those more), really wanna get some cool tricks done, a badly executed 360° is the best I did so far (ended up in a slight concussion and my face landing on the cutting side of my ski, no scars though  )Not to get too emo on everything I'm gonna keep the problem-paragraph as short as possible. When I've actually graduated I'm gonna have to get some kind of normal every-day job, which might not seem to bad, but the fact that this is the start of being a nobody average-joe disgust me and that after my studies, I'm kinda 'done' with my field of studying, took almost 5 years, now it's no longer interesting. I have no idea about anything job-like that can be fun/adequate for ~40hours/week. I'm thinking of doing random jobs untill fall next year and get back into some college, although I have no idea what to be studying then... and probably no money to afford it either. Within not too long a time I will turn into a boring, extremely average, person and probably won't like it, the only thing I'm currently interested really is improving my guitar playing, but that'll never result in anything serious when you start at an age of 24. I also play too much WoW and thinking of quitting, since it takes too much time, which totally sucks. And last but not least: being in love with your ex girlfriend totally sucks and fucks you up emotionally every time your mind isn't occupied. All in all, my life isn't too bad at all, almost got a decent education finished, got nice friends, tend to not-totally suck with girls. Although the fact that I don't see my life improving in any way is kinda crappy, but I'll just have to find something to make it all worth while. This thread turned out about 3 times longer than I wanted too, as nearly always, cheers | ||

18 live in Malmö Sweden now cuz studying. rite now going to uni for swedish cuz u need that to get into swe unis. kinda like u need english to get into US or eng unis. i have mainland chinese parents so the whole emphasis on academics is pretty suffocating, i never really got what i wanted. im extremely game deprived and would get up at like 3 or 4 am everyday to play sc with my friends adn then have breakfast at 6:30 and go to school to talk abt the nights games hahahah yea those were fun times realy like we had this whole system of who sets the alarm and whos job it is to call the other guys lol. my outright dream job would definately be a DJ because when youre playing and you mix a really well known tune and the crowd goes wild that is just -the- moment ever. I took a DJ course in Hong Kong where i lived previously and learnt alot about djing. i think the image of a DJ is really fucked up cuz of MTV where u ahve all these black dudes nodding their heads and moving the record back and forth the whole time. Love mixing and I prefer records over cds. Armin van Buuren for the motherfucking win. Other artists Above and Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Markuz Schulz... yea loads. also really like Amon Tobin tho hes electronica. alffla whos also on this forum is my best friend. hes a z player and I lose everytime cuz i suck and cuz pvz is imbaaa =D I like cooking and used to cook for my friends when we had get togethers, Id organize BBQs as well... i dont smoke nor drugs cuz smoking is just stupid and I had a friend who died from taking drugs so tahts gay. I really liek art and painting tho i guess im more of a comic artist and not so "artistic" and do lots of "deep" shit just draw stuff like dragons soldiers tanks yea stuff that blows shit up... used to do stenciling and spraypainting them, got pretty ok at it and my friends would make personal requests and id cut them out and spray it on their books or binders n shit. after thinking long and hard i decided to abandon art and go for econ as my subject in uni cuz i like both equally, well ok i like art a little bit more, but then i know that art will never work professionally for me. uhhhh i speak english, mandarin, cantonese and swedish.... o__O i suck at sc | ||

So yet again TL.netters'what's your name, what you're doing with life and what you want to do with your life? What interests do you have? Where do you live? What music are you interested in etc. (This is not intended to be a 'stalking' reference thread thx.) i am 21. living in Australia. I am a middle child out of 4 siblings from an asian background family. I moved to Australia when i was about 4. I just finished my uni degree on Comp Science (with honours). :p and I've started work now at a reputable company as a software engineer. IT (Information Technology) is not really my main interest. I like drawing houses (architecture), but i guess my career seems to be software orientated. I want to become a chief engineer some day, rather than a project manager, and earn a lot of money. My interests are in books. Sci-fi and Fantasy. I enjoy listening to top music hits most of the time, but I am ok with trying any new music. Some of my favourite bands are Savage Garden, U2, Nickelback.My life has started too since i got a job cause I have enough money to afford spending things and going out. I am usually a bookworm, and i used to have the nerdy kind of look, but i guess that's going. I can't go out in my nerdy 'home-wear' any longer. My family used to dispair over my sense of fashion, and unconventionalism. :p I am planning a trip to Singapore around December-January i hope, to see a close friend i haven't seen for nearly 2 years. Hope i will have earned enough by then to go. So my life so far... being in IT, the guys number the girls by about 4 to 1. The bad thing about it is the awkwardness that can happen because of the guy-girl distinction. I just had to deal with that just recently when i asked some guys if they wanted to go out (as friends), and didn't realise the implication that could cause. (I am new at the going out concept, since i never went out at all while i was studying). Just realised this makes things more complicated than i thought. :/ There's also a problem with having this guy friend who seems to have a crush on me, and also seems to hover around and get jealous when I spend more time around other guy friends. Totally annoying, but otherwise the people environment in IT is ok. The working environment at my company is ok too, except i've heard in IT most people work overtime (after the 9 to 5 hours) and sometimes overnight. That doesn't sound like fun to me. I'd like to diverge into another area other than software someday. I had a plan to do a Masters degree in Finance, but i think that probably won't happen anymore. In the future, I want to invest in property and hopefully end up equity rich. | ||

 I just create an account on TL.net , but I've been visiting this site for over 2 years now, was just too lazy to create an account My real language is french so I can make bad english mistakes sometimes (sorry for that).I study in Natural Science at Cégep Ste-Foy (cégep is between university and high school in Quebec.... I think we're there only one to have this shit) I've played SC for YEARS (about 7) but only vanilla. I never went to BW cause I'm T user and DTs would fuck me up . Mostly known as iAnc.MilY, SuPeR)NovA.i2s or Talorr1411 about 5 years ago (14//11 stands for my birthday (november 14th)), but you, BWers, probably never heard of me or even of my team. Well that was the SC part. oh and by the way I have not really played this game for 1 year now.My favorite bands : Rhapsody , Stratovarius (I'm attending to their concert tonight by the way), Kotipelto.... Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Shadow Gallery, Freedom Call, Gamma Ray, Angra, Symphony X, Helloween, and of course Metallica, Megadeth , Ozzy and other Legends which I'm not thinking about right now. That will be it for now | ||

Due to me now working on a golfclub, my interest for golf has jumped up cuple notches and iv started playing it abit. Very fun sport, wish i had more time to play / practice it. But on the side of work, my main interest and hobby is going to the gym and lifting weights. I am by no means a large guy, atleast not for now Im too tall and have been blessed i guess, with a very good metabolism which gives me a rough time gaining weight. But with the good and hard plan we are following now, we being me and my brother. My goal is to be in very good shape by summertime.I will probably move from the golfclub, to the local skisenter where i worked last winter when the golfseason is over. There i can practice another one of my hobbies, which is snowboarding. So this year will consist of work, hobbies and gym. Hopefully, the work part will run me dry and give me some motivation to go back to my studies so i can get a real education. If not i guess i will be sticking to working at the golfclub in summertime, and find something i can do wintertime. It seems to be a social pressure on people now days, that to be a happy and successful person you need to have an education that has taken alot of time and gives you alot of money. But some of the people i work with, who have no education and have been working with different smalltime jobs theire entire life. Are some of the more happy, kinda and smart people i have ever met. So i guess if i got "stuck" there too it probably wouldnt turn out bad | ||

I am currently studying for a BS in Construction Management. I am going to MSOE, which is a pretty tough school, and other freshmen are starting to drop like flies. I am just hoping that I don't join them, although I am pretty confident in my abilities, and I have joined a few groups on campus and those who are involved are more likely to graduate. | ||
