Original thread here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=30032
I figure it's about time for an update.
I'm sure a lot of things have changed in everyones life, there are a lot of new members...and it is definitely time to catch-up.
Now, no zia-ing in here. By that I mean, if you have male genitals don't say you don't, because that's rude and makes people feel obliged to kiss your ass.
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.)
My update:
Ok, so I've finished highschool, I went reasonably well in my final exams and I'm going to be going to university next year to study a course I will find the most interesting. It happens to be a course called 'Communications' which is a media based course, I'll be doing some writing, some sound production and some graphic design somewhere along the line...and it's up to me to decide what path I follow.
My dream job would be, a DJ, DJ'ing in front of massive crowds and getting critical acclaim and fame and all the rest of it...but mostly because listening to the sound of the crowd being pumped up/excited/fucked up on drugs listening to your music is a cool thought.
I listen to a wider range of music nowadays, before it was almost exclusively dance/trance/techno/electronica etc. Now I love Pink Floyd, Guns 'N Roses, The Stone Roses, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits...and lots of other classical rock bands.
I have been away from Australia for 4 months now, I'm on an 8 month holiday touring around Europe and the UK. Currently I'm in Scotland, and I'm working as a labourer (for ££$$) and it really has made me realise I don't want to be a labourer at any other stage of my life! 
I've seen a lot of England and Scotland, I'm due to go to Italy on October the 26th and then work my way back through Europe (journey/path unknown) to Amsterdam by the 11th of November...all I have to do is make my from Italy to Amsterdam. I'm going with my cousin, so we'll make our decisions when we are drunk most likely.
If I wake up in Japan on a fishing boat with an orange vest on one morning, I'll know I've probably made the wrong choice.
I've been having an awesome time, I've made lots of new friends and met so many cool people I can't even begin to tell you! Well I could...but I wouldn't finish.
So, how're you and what's up TL.net?

Just got back from the head. We're out of soap.

Matt Miller, 18 years old, attending the University of Toledo (Ohio). I'm majoring in psych, I was thinking of going into the industrial/organizational field, but I'm not sure. Lately I've been spending my time partying, but I also play water polo for the university. There's not really too much else to say :D

Hello, I'm a 17 year old senior living in New York.
My life has stumbled into an abyss of random, inconclusive results. There is only a very small chance I can make it into my dream university. I spend the day pondering about my future, sometimes angrily shaking my head in dismay at my previous attempts to fly. My depression is in its final stages and soon the feeling is set to die and I will return to a state of mediocrity. I spent an hour looking in the mirror today, trying to realize the person inside me, the hidden potential wasting away each moment. I have not tried a day of my life, I have never stepped outside the box, and that's what frustrates me the most.
People believe freedom comes naturally, but I believe it comes only through great effort and realization.
I have decided to persist through greater time, to attempt to make it into MIT once I'm at at a 2nd rate college of my choice, and just work my ass off for a fucking transfer. If that doesn't work, I'll try grad school. If that doesn't work I'll attend another university for a master's then try for MIT for a doctorate. If that doesn't work, I'll forge my papers and create a new identity with the help of the Italian mafia. Fuck....
...and yeah MIT is(has) been my target for the last 8 fucking years of my life. I'm not ready to give it up simply because my highschool GPA is low. I often tell myself, there must be a way, there must be a way... perhaps an act of sick desperation? Haha, it's possible I suppose.

Hello, I am currently in a college studing EE. I dream job would is to be a inventor.
I would like to inventor a type of air bore Virus that's like HIV but the virus can also be programed to harm only certain type of DNA coding so only the desire few can be infected. I will invent a cure at the same time of course.

Holy shit i hate it when i read stuff about ppl talking about how they dont make it to their "dream" university. Is this really your main priority in life? If its the future that you're worried about you should concentrate on developing and improving every aspect of your life, not just academically, but socially, physically, and psychologically as well. What good is it if you're the A+ student who knows it all but has no friends? Do you think you're good where you are at socially at the moment? College is about the experience, not the x number of credits that you have to get.
To QuietIdiot - your "low" GPA is still an A-, chill there buddy

Hey, I had to think of the original thread just a few days ago  .
So anyway, my name is Malde, I'm 20 years old and come from Braunschweig (North of Germany). I finished my 9 month of 'civil service' (still dont know how to call it  ), where I worked with mentally challenged people (some of you would refer to as retards :p). I had a very good time, learnt lots about myself, society and people in general .
After that I had a part-time job at Maui Jim Sunglasses, some of you might know it, because my brother in law is the office manager here in Germany. Had my last day last week and got a pair of sunglasses for free =).
So, now I am about to start studying, I'm gonna move out of my parents house in one week to live in a different city (only about 100km away, but still ). I got a nice room in a cotenancy with 5 other people (male and female) and I'm kinda excited about it. Oh, and I will be studying Chemistry which will probably result in doctorate in a few years.
Only point I dont like about this is that my gf (we are together nearly 2 years) will be living in a different city, like 300km away. We'll see how we can handle it.
So yeah, that's all about me so far, I'm kinda at a breaking point in my life, but I think I'm ready for the task!
Hope to read some of yours.
ps
I forgot to add some points. I enjoy Punk Rock very much, visit concerts and even buy CDs :O. I wear my hair at shoulder-length out of habit for some years now, I guess it kinda reflects my character .
I really love animals, I think if somehow I fail university I will work with animaly in some way.. I also used to play basektball a lot, but the team broke apart in the beginning of this year. Maybe I will start in my new home..

I'm a stubborn man, once I set a goal I will do everything to get it. My life is devoid of socialization, I have come across a few people to become my friends, but they're merely temporarily. In the end, there's only yourself, and yeah it's not a priority, it's just a goal I want to acheive because I fucking believe in myself. I just want to be where I want, I've had one hell of a life to pay for. No means to offend you of course.
I don't mind being alone.
I am slightly psychologically unstable due to depression.
I am training physically everyday.

Who said anyone was joking?
But no, it is completely socially acceptable and cool to dream of holding the world's population at ransom. Especially specific sectors of it. Afterall, that'll show em. /shakes fist and wipes tears. Actually, people who have these fantasies always turn out to be well-rounded, stable individuals that are popular, admired, and capable of heading a loving family.
That is, when they aren't out committing genocide.

Listen man, the only way you're going to get through some things is connections. you say u just want "temporary friends" cause they arent good enough right? well how are you going to be friends with the ppl u rly want to hang out with? its called practice. i hate it when ppl go, i want a gf but i'm waiting for the "perfect" one to come, well if you havent gone out with girls before then you'd have no shot at the girl you want cause you have no experience. dont be a loner man.

u can guess my name
im 22
i live alone but prolly will have a roommate soon(a friend of mine)
i live in portland, oregon
i treat my body very poorly but my mind is very sharp
I take adderal to help me focus because I have very serious attention problems without it. I know that it is slowly wearing down my body and I do not know what I will do when I have to stop taking it, which should happen eventually.
i play way too much dota, take everything in my life to extremes, and constantly question everything I do, which is both good and bad.
im considering furthering my education with mit open courseware, online.
im interested in neurology, physics, and artificial intelligence.
several drops of blood has came out the last 3 times I took a dump, as well as there being blood on the toilet paper.

EE major at Princeton... senior year... applying to grad school.... T_T stressful.
Currently writing a research abstract to submit to some conference while TL.net keeps me distracted ^^

I've never actually said much about who I am here before. I suppose I should.
I guess the first thing that distinguishes me around here is that I'm a girl. Not the zia kind, the actual kind. I have European heritage, I'm 5'7", long hair, been a dancer my whole life and make weird faces sometimes.
I came here through iNcontroL who is now teaching me how to play BW. His goal is to make me the best non-Korean girl. We'll see how that goes. I'm hoping to graduate from university this year. With a double major and a minor, we'll see how that goes too.
I love animals, and I psychologically can't throw things away if they're recyclable. I get really mad when people trivialize rape and feel the need to contradict people who make claims they can't support. I' m on the speech team with Geoff and I can tell you all sorts of funny stories about him. He can also tell funny stories about me. I have OCD tendencies, but the silly kind, not the destructive kind.
My parents separated this summer and it has been tough. I was part of the kind of family that that isn't supposed to happen to. (lawl, right?) I ended up pushing away a lot of people who really cared about me because I had to focus on family. Sometimes I wish I'd get a letter from God telling me what to do and when, so for just a few minutes I wouldn't feel so helpless. But then, what would be the fun in actually living life, right? I believe in joy (above happiness), I believe in hope (above realism), and I believe in love, even though it might kill me.
More than you wanted to know? Too bad! 200 posts is not far away...

I dont like it either, and reading threads like this is always a bit of a reminder to me that a lot of young people are incredibly self absorbed and almost never look at the bigger picture and it only leads to less-than well rounded adults with a chip on their shoulder from a life that they feel is unfulfilled. And the ones who find themselves to be smartest, most clever and original but always get overlooked are actually just cliche, smug and not very pleasing to be around..
People like that are pissed off in America because we are all fed the american dream but our education system isnt the thing that will get you there. Being a decent human being with good skills in networking and your area of interest(Be it film or law and anything in between) will though.
Quietidiot is depressed because he cant make meaningful social connections, and he cant make those because he is kind of a shitty person(Hey I am judging via forum posts), especially his attitude towards others people being temporary. He wont last forever either, what binds us all is the human experience... Allow it to connect you to others or have fun being disconnected. It doesnt mean being a shell of a person either, you dont have to be fake or anything.
All his dreaming and setting up for getting into the school he wants to go to(And probably many other things in his life) will only lead to failure as he is pre-thinking too much Even if he manages to get into his school it can only be failure there as he realizes it's nearly the same as every similar school or it fails to meet his expectations in some other way. Wisdom/hindsight corrects a lot of things for people, I think. They wont make the same mistakes in the future. I used to be a little like QuietIdiot and I am far from a success in any way.. But there are people who get things done in life and people who just talk about getting it done, the latter will never finish anything because they are too busy being worried and pondering what they will do to follow up a success. Thats cliche but people like Quiet make it so clear to me. You can only try to fix your mistakes in the future and keep trying your best!
On topic with this thread... I got up at 4:30am yesterday to get on a fishing boat off the coast of california with a bunch of dudes for someones birthday, I spent the whole time seasick puking and got a little sunburnt due to being pale as hell. After that we BBQ'ed the fish we caught and it was semi-terrible, mostly due to me not wanting to have fish after feeling sick for hours. Even though I felt like shit nearly the whole day the people I was around still made it worthwhile and my overall feeling coming away from it was extremely positive and probably one of the best days ive had this year!

there is nothing wrong with having dreams you'll never accomplish
some people are too busy living in the now to live for the future.

I had my mother die and I was born a social introvert. I also had a sexually/emotionally abusive father, was the kid who got picked on in fights, and I may be autistic.Thanks for calling me a shitty person. Gee I love the way people see me on this forum..
FYI the pre-thinking keeps me sane.
What is your definition of a shitty person anyways? :/

Junior in high school in Florida.
I like Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday, and other random bands.
I play the piano and tennis.
I guess I'm just a typical nerd.  I try to find things that set me apart from other's like me, but it's kind of hard with a math team that has some of the brightest people in florida.

Alright everyone get ready...
My name is Chris Maton and I am a Junior in High School, and I am 16 years old. I have played about 8 years of starcraft (damn half my life is wasted to this addictingly amazing game). My dream is to just get into an aviation school. I love flying in the sky, it's so beautiful and peaceful compared to the ground. I have a G.P.A of about 3.2 (which needs to badly increase...). Most people who do know me think I am a smoker, stoner, and all of the other "druggie" groups. I however have never in my life touched alcohal, a ciggarette, or any kind of drugs. I do skateboard quite often (about twice a week, and I am fairly decent at it, got a few tricks down)
I live about 20 minutes southwest of Washington D.C. in Virignia. I do track and I am on the debate team for my school. I used to train my friend in Starcraft, until he went to WCG with me in 2005 where he saw Nyoken and Theognis, and he quit, because he could not become professional (That was his dream while I was training him lol).
I play poker and have won about $450 from my friends, all who still think they're better than me [/laugh].
I hope to just get a paying job when I am older, or become a commercial pilot through an aviation school (Air Force no thanks).
My dad helps my gaming out, by allowing me to play, and he used to take me to WCG as I was younger. My mom however is totally against it, and would not even listen to me about how decent I have done.
I have a tendency to flirt with girls, and never ask them out because I dont want to get into a relationship. And many of them stopped talking to me because of this.
your dad is very kind man. is he?

I'm for the most part just a lurker around here, but what the hell.
My name's Jean-Paul, most of my friends call me JP though.
I'm 16 (or at least I will be in a month) and am currently in my 3rd semester at a local community college and will be transfering to the San Francisco Academy of Art in the spring. I'm honestly not as smart as most people think, I'm only in the position I am mostly because ever since my mother died my dad has become paranoid about him dieing and leaving me as an orphan. As a result he's been trying to get me to "grow up" asap which has caused him to be a lot pushier as far as my academics go, but everything's going smoothly so I'm not complaining.
I'm not a very social person due to my lack of self-esteem which I've attributed to the fact that I was morbidly obese as a younger child. When I was 13 I was 5'8" and weighed 300 pounds, now I'm 6'0" and around 230 (thanks in part to some fitness threads that I saw here and some other forums) I'm still fat, but not morbidly so at least.
I doubt anyone cares, but that's my story currently.

hell no I just want to give him some general background info before he called me a shitty person..(He specifically stated the reason why I was depressed was because I couldn't get along with people? WTF?)
I often reserve judgement till I know the in's and outs of an individual.
IF I am a shitty person, I'd like to clarify for those beings.

well
im much the same as in the last one
im 22 years old now though
and im currently studying history
which is alright. not loving it or anything, but I figure I gotta do it anyway.
actually missing working in a daycare for children, god that job was great. unfortunately it doesn't work out with my schedule at university so it was impossible to keep doing it.
really really really happy at the moment. recently bought an apartment with my brother (which is large enough for 2 people but I pretty much have it for myself 90% of the time because he lives in oslo) and well it's a crazy good deal for me for the next 3 years. in addition I no longer only love myself, and that's also pretty cool
I even know she's a girl this time
he he
apart from that much is the same.
:D

It draws pity?
I dont' care about my image the same way I don't care what people think about me in real life. I told you I'm a stubborn man that believes in one thing and will stand by it.(If I believe I am persistent, I am persistent, regardless of what others believe. If people think I'm intelligent and I don't then I believe so, etc etc. I find trusting yourself more important than the opinions of others in personal situations.) and besides this is simply an internet forum, no one could possibly care about who I am. Bah, enough talking about me, I want to read about other peoples' stories, they are most entertaining
I purposely chose the name "quietidiot" for a good amount of reasons

Ben, 18, Portland, OR.
Studying graphic design for my last year of high school. Probably going to Pratt or Portland State, not sure if the price difference (about ~$200k vs ~$80k) would be worth it yet. Still living with my parents. No job.
I need to get out of Oregon. :[
BTW - QuietIdiot, what are you doing to get into MIT? While GPA definitley matters, there are many important factors they consider, such as extra curricular activities (sports, plays, jobs), essay, interview, SAT and ethnic background.

All his dreaming and setting up for getting into the school he wants to go to(And probably many other things in his life) will only lead to failure as he is pre-thinking too much Even if he manages to get into his school it can only be failure there as he realizes it's nearly the same as every similar school or it fails to meet his expectations in some other way. Wisdom/hindsight corrects a lot of things for people, I think. They wont make the same mistakes in the future. I used to be a little like QuietIdiot and I am far from a success in any way.. But there are people who get things done in life and people who just talk about getting it done, the latter will never finish anything because they are too busy being worried and pondering what they will do to follow up a success. Thats cliche but people like Quiet make it so clear to me. You can only try to fix your mistakes in the future and keep trying your best!

I had my mother die and I was born a social introvert. I also had a sexually/emotionally abusive father, was the kid who got picked on in fights, and I may be autistic.Thanks for calling me a shitty person. Gee I love the way people see me on this forum..
FYI the pre-thinking keeps me sane.
What is your definition of a shitty person anyways? :/
[/QUOTE]
Just someone who is difficult, negative, closed off and wont be real with me. I mean even though you just said that shit on the internet you earned a lot of my respect ok? But just because you have had it bad doesnt mean that other people havent had a rough time either, I wouldnt describe my life as rosey and I doubt a lot of others here would either. Also I ineloquently chose "shitty" to describe what the cues I read from your posts indicates to me, I dont really think that of you. I mean you are just a forum poster to me, quite a question mark really as I dont know you on any real life level..
My friends personally mean a lot to me because I dont have a lot of close family(Just my mom really, no one else period) and the thing I dislike most in people are standoff-ish types who would describe anyone they havent known for their whole life as an "acquaintence." Or dudes who get a girlfriend and dissappear because they only set themselves up their whole lives as needing a relationship for fulfillment. Its fine to make yourself happy and be alone but I dont have the time to be living my life with temporary people coming in and out. Its just important for me to connect with others(I know I keep saying this and sound like Tony Robbins to some of you, haha) and that is one of my priorities along with hopefully creating good art(I write music).

On a side note, I love how people assume past events have no effect on who that person is today. They mean everything. So yes, QuietIdiot's life isn't "perfect" in the eyes of society. Cut him some slack. The events he's had to deal with in his past will and have adversely affected his daily performance. He doesn't appear to want any extra sympathy or respect, but he does seem to want people to understand where he's coming from. I wouldn't call him a shitty person because of how he is--he had no control over that.
Edit: This wasn't a negative comment directed towards anyone in particular. It's an expression of an observation I've made.

I'm a second-year art student, and plan on being a professional artist. I am really happy at the moment, going to just the right college, in a very stable/nice relationship that will probably last a long time, making work that I like, etc. I'm 19, live in chicago. Wish I had more time for SC and that the pgt wiki would come back

Lets stay on topic ^^
My name is Trevor Allen, although if someone said "Mani" on the street I would probably turn my head. I also do a double take everytime I am reading and see the word manifest or manifesto.
After finishing my degree in History I moved to Osaka, Japan, where I have been for just over a year now. In the springtime I got married to my long term girlfriend, and two weeks later she got pregnant. After a difficult beginning things are looking good and healthy.
I work at a high school in Izumisano City, which is where Kansai airport is. I really love my job, and feel fortunate that I was able to teach high school so quickly after getting my degree. I will finish my work here in two more years, after which my wife and I will decide whether to stay in Japan or go back to Canada.
I never thought I would go back to school after graduating, but after working with an American co-worker who has been in Japan for a long time, I started attending Temple University, which has a campus in Osaka. I am pursuing a Masters in TEOSL education (basically english as a second language). I am hoping it will geive me greater flexibility after I finish this current job.
Outside work, I am still hopelessly involved in StarCraft. To me, it is the perfect game, and despite trying numerous others I always come back. I enjoy working on this website and following the proleagues, although I am finding it difficult because there are so many games now. I also am educating myself about being a parent, and am both terrified and excited about that future.

Listening to cute songs. And hoping i can get to know a girl i can get to hold hands and look at ehr eyes and actually talk. Instead of meetting them in a club, chatting 1 minute and making out to never see them again.

my names joe and im 21 from north jersey. ive been a bw junkie for over 8 years now and im still trying to figure out if thats a good thing. friends dont think so=p. I went to montclair state university for 3 semesters where i studied psychology. I had always been smart and did good in school til college, i just didnt give a shit, school seemed irrelevant and i just wanted to have fun. long story short,i had too much fun, partied alot, never showed, got suspended and probably could have appealed for another semester (i had a 1.9, 2.0 is cut) but opted to take off. it ended up being the best thing that could happen to me.
i ended up buyin a nice car to take my mind off shit and started working full time til i was ready to go back/decide wtf i wanan do. i took up a job with my dad at his magazine as a writer. i started to enjoy writing and basically sat down and decide that as much as i like psycology, without going to med school, id most likely get stuck with a shit job since the field is oversaturated. i ended up going back to school at bergen community to save cash, since i had basically pissed away 2 years by taking my major courses first like an asshole and then changing majors. i started to really like writing and got into it. now i work full time, school full time and have mastered the art of balancing life. (work, school and social life). ive got a bunch of money saved up, i started investing a lot in metals, even though i just got shit on this week and im trying to save to buy a house if i can find a semi-resopnsible friend. even if i dont, i save enough and with the collapse thats about to happen with the housing market, ill have one in 1-2 years. that being said, im doing real well in work, finishign stupid two year soon, maybe journalism in the city, who knows. lifes good, woohoo.
good topic, good rant.

Holy shit i hate it when i read stuff about ppl talking about how they dont make it to their "dream" university. Is this really your main priority in life? If its the future that you're worried about you should concentrate on developing and improving every aspect of your life, not just academically, but socially, physically, and psychologically as well. What good is it if you're the A+ student who knows it all but has no friends? Do you think you're good where you are at socially at the moment? College is about the experience, not the x number of credits that you have to get.
To QuietIdiot - your "low" GPA is still an A-, chill there buddy
btw, i was going to reply to quietidiot til i saw this. this post is dead on. a 4.0 means shit if you are socially inept.

Raul Rincon is my name.
I have MALE GENITALS (Read penis ;p)
Things have been going well for me, I recently joined University and I'm studying Graphic Design at the time. I love it, it's awesome, and I'm excited as hell. Things with family are sort of fucked up, becuase these days have been hard, we fight a lot, and my actitude isn't helping, but I try to be better. My gf is fine, today (September 25th) is our 11th Month together as a couple, and I love her a lot.
That's about it :>).

Well here I was thinking about posting some about me but if what Quietidiot posted was bad then what I would post would be absolutely terrible. But LegendaryDreams, just because you seem to think that people are the most important thing in life doesn't mean you're right. Hanging out with those people, all that "friendship", that's what got me into a position where I can lament twice as much as QuietIdiot can. Friendship is really overrated in society, I didn't have friends for years and that was when I was most successful in life.

My name is rob but i like rob!... better, it comes from reading too much P.G. Wodehouse.
I've never really played starcraft more than a handful of games againsnt my mates and have never won a 1v1 on b.net, in fact i've only ever tried once, but i have a laugh with mates and i apprecate the skill involved as i played slightly more WC3 and then found out bw vods are better (i was surprisingly good at liquibet tho, i came not far away from some big names last season, but this season i've not paid much attantion)
i'm 20 and studing Maths at the University of Warwick doing a 4 year course that is the same as a masters. In 2 years when it's over i'm going to apply for a Phd, maybe somewhere in japan cos i spent a month there last summer and loved it
This summer i did a mini project at the uni and went to see my hippie mate in spain, desided the hippee life is not for me

15 yrs old, in high school. Want to play music for a living, maybe move to Finland. I'm in a Happy Metal band called Positron, we sing about Dragonman the hero of Lalaland fighting the evil harpies.
Right now though I'm not in a magic happy wonderful mood like usual. I feel like shit. I hate myself for feeling like shit because I hate people who complain and are depressed, and I especially hate people who go and write about it or try to tell people how they are feeling.
I throw 7 hours of my days down the fucking shitter. Goddamn fucking useless bullshit, OOOOh, Pay Attention! Now, Who can tell me how to figure out how much burnt corn syrup weighs? FUCK YOU!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING CORN SYRUP! SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!! ANd ooh, its very important, get a good education. Don't do what you want, its important that you do what WE want you to do, oh sure we'll pretend you have some influence on what you're going to do later, but really its just all the same bullshit. They try to discourage you. If i say to someone, hey i wanna be in a band when i grow up, they'l go "Oh good idea, but make sure you have a plan B " (you're never gonna make it so get a boring shit office job) School is dragging me down. 2 months ago, july 25th, I started calculating how much I
practise every day. First 2 days i did 5 hours, then because I'm a lazy asshole I started doing less. I said to myself, "oh when school starts il get back in my routine" but i see now that it's even HARDER for me to get back in routine during school year. I have no time at all for just playing around, only practise all my free time. This makes practise feel like a chore. Now right now I should be practising. My total practise time was 65 hours in two months. THAT FUCKING SUCKS. Argh, I don't know what I'm trying to argue anymore, I give up.

I'm Kevin, 27 (ancient on this forum, good grief!) from Singapore. After producing the WCG documentary I washed my hands of actual production and all the late nights and ridiculous hours it entailed (with some regret). Now I'm a development producer in the same company, which means I think up ideas, do research, develop them into concepts and try to sell them to channels. I have a major deadline next Wednesday which is going to kill me. I am thankful to have this job. I never quite knew what I wanted to do upon graduation, but then this came along and it suits me perfectly. My hands shake, my hand eye coordination is really bad and I do not do logical thinking very well. So I enjoy watching Starcraft more than playing it. I give private English tuition part time to kids who are either really smart or really dumb.
And I understand Quietidiot's desire to get into MIT. Sometimes it's not about the goal itself. The mere fact that you can achieve it gives you the confidence to go on with other things. Kind of like... if I can do that, I can do anything.

I walked on at central washington university but due to 0 drug testing the entire team was juicing and that did not interest me. I went to OSU to pursue old recruiting that they had for me but alas, they to0 wanted me to walk on. Something I wasnt really willing to do. So now im just a washed up football player.
-Im on the debate team. I do well.
-Im one of the pushed, if you know what the alludes to.

Will. 19 years old, Salem, Oregon. About to move out from my mom's house into an apartment by myself. Work for low pay, and not in school. I like to think of myself as stupid. I'm nice though, I promise. Helping people makes me feel better about myself. Oh, and I am a writer. I have been paid for short fiction. Oh, and I have done too much drugs, but am getting myself back together. Sometimes I feel I am incapable of caring for anyone but myself, and it makes me want to kill myself. Wrap yourself around those apples, Stevie. Ladies love me. Currently playing WC3 TFT on USEAST under name: perLi if anyone is down.

My name is Jason. I turn 23 in two days.
Life has been fun being an only child in a single mother household because I've been able to set my own course for nearly a decade. On the other hand I ended up short on discipline.
I was the scholastic Cincinnati City Chess Champion my sophmore year of HS.
I dropped out of HS half-way through my junior year. I took the GED; got a simulated class ranking of 1.
I've had two college majors during two periods of my life. Firstly, I was a Computer Programming major which I was good at, but which haunted me with weeks of staring at mentally intensive code only to escape for the 1-hour development meeting at the end of the week.
I quit college, moved out of my mom's house, moved a major city away, and started working my own sub-contracting corporation pimping insurance claims from 'hail damage.' Working 60-hour blue collar weeks makes for a shitty life no matter how much money you make. I also played poker professionally before the 'boom' and before the TL.net community was hooked. I did very well but it conflicts with me morally and I now think that it is downright boring and easy.
I went back to college and became a Philosophy major. My rationale was getting in touch with the foundation of knowledge. It's been extremely enlightening and practical in a personal development sense, but in the end I'm spending too much money on an 'impractical fiscal investment.'
My Philosophy studies have led me to wish for a greater moral understanding amongst the population but I've also come to realize that most people are lacking the basic critical thinking to even digest basic moral theory. Hell, our govt. can't even come to grips with Universality.
So, I'm combining my chess skills with my world view. I am starting a non-profit organization to integrate chess instruction into public grade school curriculums. Chess has been shown to improve IQ and EQ scores. I am highly excited about this. It allows me to own my own company, make a positive impact on the world, and have very nice financial freedom.
My Non-Profit is called "Future Moves."
Thanks for getting to know me.

If you guys are serious about it give me the word, Portland is only 1 hour away and god knows im big enough of a nerd to make the drive. Otherwise, if you guys ever feel like going to Corvallis we can set something up, and I have 2 couches.

Awsome story You sound like a smart guy with a good head, not enough of you people around. I love chess as well, just got my glass set down here at school unfortunately nobody here plays chess. Not even a formal club on campus, just a circle jerk group that plays at organized times. Boohoo!

Anders Lundgaard, 21 years old. Started studying molecular biology at university of århus this year.
It was first when I started studying, that I moved out from my parents (had been travelling around some, to come back and live with my parents). It's great living on my own in a new city. It's great being in school again. It's great meeting so many people that I have so much in common with.
But the study itself is pretty hard - I don't feel like I'm 'on top of it' - there are just so much stuff to do all the time, and I know that if I sit inside all day studying, I'll get tired of it eventually, and drop out.
So I try to do other stuff - I just came back from the gym just now. I've gotten weak over the last 3-4 months (did practically nohing over the summer), but I don't think it'll take long before I can lift what I did when I used to work out. I spend alot of time with my girlfriend, who I'm been with around a year (wrong grammar, is it 'whom'?). She's probably the best girl I've ever met in my life (yeahyeah I know, but she really is).
After I've moved up here, the weekends have been crazy. I always get incredibly drunk, and when I'm in that state, I sometimes find myself hard to control, and I've done some stuff that I've felt bad for when waking up at my girlfriends the next day.
Maybe I should just stop drinking so hard, and I'd be able to control myself. Anyone know how I feel?
Spend too much money on stuff that I could live without. I guess sometime I will have to get a job, but not right now, I just got here ;p That's at least the excuse I use when I think that I need to get a job. It's just easy when I know my parents will help me financially if I ever need it.
Kinda miss my friends from back home, who moved to Copenhagen to study instead of Århus. Too bad ;<, but I couldn't study molecular biology there. If I could, I would've moved with them to Copenhagen. I just look forward to see them in the next vacation.
Oh, and about me and bw: I haven't really played bw the last 6 months. I've recently played some pub games and 2v2 with friends, but that's about it. Nothing serious. It's also hard when you only got a laptop.
That's it for now .

I want to go to a american college. I've been in korea for 2 years yet i suck at korean. Going to public school. I've been playing sc since 2003 when i was 6-7 grade. I want to live in ny. I love metal (Iced Earth). Oh yeah i hate going to school on the first day cause when to go for attendence they always say. Is there er hyun whan joe ( my korean name) and they always butcher and struggle with it and it just makes me sheepy. I want to major in music theory/composition for college or become a doctor/ med school. I like anime. And uh i'm pretty good at table tennis if anyone wants to play in korea. I love my life and parents. I like cute japanese songs. I never had a girlfriend. Im 5'9 and 130 pounds 175 cm/58-9 kilo. And i love to work out. Firsy tried it out when i was in 7th grade.

2 years ago when i left premed to get business experience, i lost most of my friends. 1 year ago, after getting enough experience to return to premed to do the things i really want to be able to do for those prehealthcare undergrad programs, i noticed that i'm now a stranger and it's hard to be in the in group. nobody likes a premed "dropout". reminds me of that song. don't know the name. something like "past is never hard, [...] dadada, never knew ur name"
my parents come from rural china. I spent my childhood there. I read chess, C++, and pingpong in high school and started a small private tutoring business. Let me tell you, learning how to be socially competent is much harder than learning chess. I'd say 1 year of very competent chess learning can put you at 1800 USCF, but I've spent the past 4 years of my life trying to learn how to be a normal person who can keep friends, and I simply suck at it. I have my heart in the right place i'm sure, but something just isn't clicking.
My dream is to research and understand great people, especially great people who make it at a young age. med school graduates at 20, college graduates double major with profit at 18, etc. I want to start a private school for rural children after i learn how to be the perfect gaurdian. I think living at ground 0 of poverty instills into a person something that will make them go far in life if they are given the chance.
right now, i'm not in a happy place. you guys are right on with needing to have social intelligence to go far in life. i simply had none, and as a result, all the "social capital" (i hear it all the time but i don't know which author comes up with the name) i've thrown away and it feels terrible. I'm doing better though. All my friends who i started being friends with 3+ years ago really don't know what to think of me or they just hate me in as non-judgemental a way as possible. all the friends that i've made within the past 1 year think i'm great.
it might also be that my new friends aren't in the "social elite" class. i just don't know.

It is not my real name, but my friends call me Ivan. I am 21, and currently junor majoring in computer science. Also, I am doing my time in army (tho it is civil), so I work in employment agency for free. In the same time I am trying to get driver`s licence. Much work to be done.
I was always happy person, that could make others laugh or start conversation. I was person that everybody wants to talk to, and has respected opinion.
About a year into the past, I do not know what has gotten into me. I just didn`t give a shit .Whether or not will I finish college, whether or not will I do anything. I felt like it is so meaningless to try. Maybe even Jtan felt this in our games. I was in really shitty mood, couldn`t see shit and couldn`t do shit. Or it is better to say my will was weak. I haven`t passed test in college for 6 months. It cost me now. I would just watch how dead lines are going away. All I would do is watch tv whole day, and Internet browsing. It was really a big slump.
There are many thing that helped me to get better. I was reading alot about willpower, joga, concentration and things related to in. It helped. Also Dream Theater`s songs helped allot, especially words like "Face yourself man! Brace yourself and trace your hell back" etc. Thank you DT. I am again the same person I was before very optimistic, and now I am looking forward to future
Thing I like to do when I have time are playing football, playing pc games, reading and so on. I like to read about ancient hystory the most. I like horror and science fiction movies the most. Big fan of K-1 and pride.
As for starcraft goes, I like this game, but I do not have much time to play. I am more of "for fun" player.

not much changed here since last time. still a lazy narcisstic bum. still playing poker for monies. same woman in my life ( surprised she hasnt left me for something better, god knows she deserves it ).
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.

Ok, so here goes
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

Martin Bi (funny last name cuz im chinese)
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

Hola. My name is Mike. I'm 18, 210, 6'2. My life is the LSAT. Even though I don't study much (maybe one section or so a day) it's still all-encompassing. My life is over Sept 30th. Literally, south park on Oct 4th? Too bad. Because that's after the end of my life.
Still, I'm reasonably calm. And excited to take it. Wish me luck!

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.

My name is Samuel, I live in Quebec, Canada, 18 years old
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

My name is Thomas Fiskum Bembridge, i live in Norway and im 20 years old. Right now im working as a greenkeeper at Kongsberg Golfclub, which is pretty much my "local" golfclub. Wasnt exactly my plan to be working there, or any other place at this time in my life. But school and studying just got extremly tiering for me and i just had to take a break.
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 know a few people taking engineering too, they all hate it lol. one kid who graduated is doing pretty well for himself, making like 60k. but its an insane amount of studying in school and work.

Brian, 19.
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.

And by the way ChoboCop, philosophy is quite awesome, I considered studying it because it interests me and it might bear some similarities to English, which is my favourite subject. (Literature etc.) I'll delve into it one day probably.
It's interesting to see the differences between everyone, we all have a universal bond however...Starcraft, haha.

it just requires much more knowledge/committment then other majors. ever heard all those great college stories about partying, girls etc? you wont half nearly as much time as other majors in easier subjects, youll be studying 2x as much. its a very demanding field.
also, contrary to belief, a degree doesnt guarentee a job in this field (althought that is VERY MUCH the same for every field) earlier in the thread there is something about this. getting into a university or getting a good job is much more then having a 4.0. no one wants a pencil neck geek who can ace a test but cant talk to girls, much less an important business client, without having the other person laughing at him/her. social skills and community involvement and extracurricular activities are every bit as important as your grades.
the moral of the story? dont be a nerd; be well rounded.....or sell mortgages and sell drugs on the side, EZ.

in a nutshell, the degree isn't worth the amount of work put into it when you consider other majors.
unless designing plants genuinely interests you (and i highly doubt it does) run for the hills while you still can.

I'm 21 years old, 5'10? 5'11? 5'2 on a bad day? I live in Canada and i'm half greek, and 1/7th of a lot of other things.
I'm currently in the best relationship of my life.
I have big hard to control hair that I let air dry.
I never brush or comb it.
I'm also currently being forced to write this against my will.
Schooling is in the wind and going excessively slow, don't ask. I'm a bit too free spirited of sorts. All I know is that whatever career path I choose, I wish to have a job where I can come home at the end of the day feeling good about what i've done. So preferrably a cop, firefighter, paramedic, etc...
I currently work as a waiter in a greek-ish Canadian restaurant.
My favourite colours are the remains of whatever unit of yours are dying.
I'm not a fan of meeting new people myself. I have the people I like.
My favourite meal used to be pasta. But as i'm healthying myself up, or attempting to it's now fish & rice. The rice I eat is art though, and much better than plain Asian rice.
Despite my past lack of moral fiber when I was younger, I now place myself on a moral pedestal and although I am extremely understanding, I have no tolerance for certain kinds of people that I think are just pimples on societies ass and should be done away with. i.e. wiggers, people who talk like wiggers and actually mean it etc..
I'm in favour of capital punishment, so long as it's 100% proven without a shadow of a doubt, and doesn't waste the courts time etc. I have a harsh stance on criminals in general. Depending on the crime.
I am still not bored in the least with bw. I will always find it fun.
I really hate public washrooms as well. And since i'm writing this, I am going to go off on a rant. Which one of you is a culprit of pissing all over the seat, not flushing whatevers in there, or just pissing everywhere and leaving everything dirty? I hate you and I hope you slip on someone elses piss when you go to the bathroom in there and fall face first into a dirty toilet that hasn't been flushed all day and drown there because you've paralyzed your back from the fall and can't get up. There is nothing worse than having to take a dump in a public washroom. Because not only do you have to toilet paper the seat, you also have to toilet paper the ground, & watch out that your bunched up pants don't hit the piss. Yeah, I know, children suck too but it can't all be children. You know mother fuckers, if we all do our part we can have clean washrooms.

Hope this works... First time posting pictures.
The GO team made me an honourary GO member after the documentary and gave me Xellos's jacket.
But I felt I smiled too much to be an honourary GO member, so I had to try and look intimidating instead. Alas, clothes do not maketh the man, and I ended up looking constipated instead.
I look better with my new haircut =)

fuddx what kinda trick can you do with those coins. I'm not asking for you, the great magician, to reveal anything, but I just want to know what they are used for. They are used for tricks right? I asked you to show me magic trick in clan x17 and you go:

Dan, 22. I might come back to post some details later, feeling way to tired, it's 4 am here.
I just realised that tablecloth has the same imprint as my shirt. Stylish tablecloth.

Hhahaha nice jacket :D

im jon, 14 years old, living in new york
currently a sophomore in high school. i really am not 100% sure what i want to persue as a job, just because i have so much time to think about it still ^^. i love playing bw when im not out skateboarding with douchebags who think they are good.
right now i am cutting mega weight for wrestling season -_-;;
i am an average student (around B/B+) and kind of want to become a programmer. and i guess i am also around B/B+ for brood war when i am in shape T_T. next year i want to attend WCG because i have not really ever been in a large tournament like that, and i think it would be a fun experience ^^.
aside from that there is nothing much else to say except that i will be moving soon to Oklahoma, so i have no idea how that will go -_-;;
~~~as soon as i find my fucking camera, i will upload a picture ^_^

19, college sophomore, currently living in new orleans. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep right now from noon to 3pm after pulling another all nighter for no reason at all. I'm an insomniac, i can't sleep and it's ruining my life. For the past year or so, starcraft has dominated my life. I'm addicted for the only reason that I wanna be "good" but it has made my life hell. I live in a piece of shit frathouse i get overcharged for with thirteen or so other people. Everyone down here thinks frats are gangs and love drunken drama. Everyone wants to emulate gangsta rappers. Everyone is white jewish kids. In the house right now five people are selling drugs to college students only to make money. I want to, everyday more so, get out of this shithole. I grew up in china and connecticut. I want to live in a cold place and meet less rowdy people. Right now I'm not in school, trying to find a full-time job to make ends meet, cut off by my parents, and basically living a shitty everyday. The only thing that consoles me is that I love most of the people I know no matter how different they are. Hopefully I'll be working soon, that's my only goal for now. And besides that if I have money i'll get wasted. At nights when I can't sleep I stay up and play starcraft till morning. Then again in the afternoon. It could've been a lot better if I had motivation but I have none. It's only when shit hits the fan that I actually do something. boohoo i know. I'm unsatisfied only when I type this. Otherwise I get by well enough. I love teamliquid and starcraft, I'm glad to have met all the people ive met through it.

To all the high school students, every college that's in the same tier you apply for is pretty much all the same academically. Worry more about campus life, location, student population, tuition, stuff like that.

I'm Stephen, 25, finishing up my Masters in Computer Science (in artificial intelligence, machine learning) at the University of Toronto. I'm of Chinese heritage, but born in Canada.
Throughout my life I've always done well at school (e.g. graduated #1 last year from undergrad Math faculty, University of Waterloo) and work related things, but my main regret is that I've been way too reserved. I'm pretty open with my friends, but I used to find talking to new people a chore. I also tended never to get involved in things, skipped most of my classes, and generally missed out on a lot of things due to laziness. I've been consciously trying to change that, open up, and get more involved, and it's been moderately successful.
I started a software company with my friend a year ago, and we're doing customized business systems for small/medium businesses. For me that's a big decision, because it means that after graduation in a few months, I won't be getting a stable job. I interned at Google before, and deciding against their reasonable pay, free awesome food, and other perks was tough. But I really believe I can learn a lot more (especially non-technical things) by starting a business, get more job satisfaction, and hopefully eventually end up better financially. Oh, and our company is called Archon Systems Inc., cuz 3-3-3 archons pwnallwtfwtfomg
Might as well plug. Our preliminary website is http://www.archonsystems.com/. If anyone's in a position to refer some businesses interested in custom systems to us, PM me, or e-mail through the website. We've been mostly focusing on supply-chain management systems (SCMS), but are open to other things too. We'll give you a commission if it leads to a deal, so you could earn some decent money, depending on the size of the project.
oh and anyone from the Toronto area wanna meet up downtown for some drinks to mourn boxer's retirement, maybe on Oct. 9th? i was thinking of creating a thread for this, but it kinda fits here too.
|
Polemarch, you sound like a nice guy, that has a direction in his life and knows what he wants. Good Luck to your success, but by your story, sounds like you'll beable to pull it off nicely. Oh and ARCHONS ~_~.

There are other things that could be affecting your sleep patterns. (I've had the same kinds of problems for years, but am just now recently realizing what exactly the problem is. PM me if you want to keep it private.) Just want to help.

it just requires much more knowledge/committment then other majors. ever heard all those great college stories about partying, girls etc? you wont half nearly as much time as other majors in easier subjects, youll be studying 2x as much. its a very demanding field.
also, contrary to belief, a degree doesnt guarentee a job in this field (althought that is VERY MUCH the same for every field) earlier in the thread there is something about this. getting into a university or getting a good job is much more then having a 4.0. no one wants a pencil neck geek who can ace a test but cant talk to girls, much less an important business client, without having the other person laughing at him/her. social skills and community involvement and extracurricular activities are every bit as important as your grades.
the moral of the story? dont be a nerd; be well rounded.....or sell mortgages and sell drugs on the side, EZ.
heh;
i know that the degree doesnt garanty a job in the field, which is why i want to do a combined science and engineering degree, i am interested in other jobs this kind of degree will give me.
all i am heard about uni is the amount of work i am going to have to do -.-; not partying -_----_-!!
and i didnt realise the ability to talk to girls was a job requirement ;p
i really dont understand why people have trouble talking to the opposite gender ;/

in a nutshell, the degree isn't worth the amount of work put into it when you consider other majors.
unless designing plants genuinely interests you (and i highly doubt it does) run for the hills while you still can.
hmm, so you only design plants in chemical engineering, what i looked up about it was learning about the mechanics in reactions and such >.>, maybe ill stick to electrical.

Rick.
24 years old.
Sunnyvale, CA
Work part time at Beverages & More, part time with GGL. Hopefully fulltime at the office in Santa Monica, soon.
I don't game much anymore, since my RSI doesn't allow me to for long periods of time, which is why I run console events at WCG, I've been on the Xbox/360 for awhile now.
I've flown to 10 different places in the past 2 years for gaming, next month will make #11.
<img src="http://www.rickjsanchez.com/WCGUSA2006/PuertoRicanWCGUSA20062.jpg" align="right">
My job in gaming is to further it's growth, especially when it comes to making money.
I moved back to California this year, 2006, one day before E3, which I worked at and ran a console event.
Currently trying work on the big plans that GGL has with AmeriCup 3, which will probably have another lan final, TAS, hopefully with Starcraft this time, and will include more countries this time.
Trying to finish up the damn Wikipedia page I've been working on for GGL, but it's been over a month and the GGL site hasn't updated what I need, so I can't finish the Wiki page.
I'm still undecided whether I want a girl or not, I mean I get lonely at times, but for the most part I can't be bothered since I'm busy 85% of the time.
My next trip will be to New York, on October 10th - 16th 2006.
I will be there working at the DigitalLife event.
If any of you are in the New York area, feel free to stop by and say hi, I'll be with Orlandu working in the Warcraft 3 section.

A friend told me I looked hip hop so I struck a silly pose:
It's so fun connecting you guys' names with faces!

You're cute.
Hm, I'm Rob, 19, 5'9", ~210 lbs. I'm a second year undergraduate psychology major. I'm the same typical nice guy that gets pissed on daily by society that you've all come to know love, and I'm actually quite shy and quiet in real life, whereas on here I'm quite outspoken and just don't care.

by the way that little r2d2 garbage can in the first picture looks to be the nicest thing there. probably cause your gross ass family doesn't use it. it's like an ornament or something huh.
edit: I mean, it should be overflowing with garbage for crissakes. Is it even laziness if you don't throw stuff away when there is a garbage can right in front of you? No, it's something else. Is there a word for that?

For example, my GPA is slightly lower than what my college wanted, but my SAT scores were slightly higher than what my college wanted, so I was fine. I wouldn't worry about it. Engineering is pretty broad--what field are you thinking of going in to?

one of my closest buddies works at clothing place in the mall called Zumiez. He told me that one day this old mexican guy comes in, and then walks up to david at the cash register. Keep in mind there are tons of hot bitches working and shopping all about the place. So the old mexican guy just kinda starts scanning the room, and mumbling perhaps to himself, or perhaps to David.
'mmmm that's a little cumslut right there. I'd go balls deep on that little bitch. yeah mmmm, what a fine piece of ass... little cumslut' ( he said little cumslut like 14 times )
so david is just standing there like o_o listening to him, not knowing if he was supposed to talk to this guy or not. Guy does this for like 15 minutes on and off, no jokes folks. as each girl comes into zumiez he has new ways to express what a little 'cumslut' she is.
after that he leaves. David said he had a really raspy voice. Now whenever he sees a fine ass girl walking around town he mimics the voice and is like ' yeah.... i'd like to knock the boots off that litttle cumslut' in a really raspy and eerie voice.

born in chicago illinois,
lived in california, L.A all my life
my name is isaac sanghyun yoon, junior in high school and 16 years old.
i am an "artist" and i dont consider myself that good, although i am born with great natural talent.
people consider me very fit, buff,(not really)
i ran track, i play tennis, and good enough for the tennis team but the coach hates me a lot.
live with a single mother and 2 siblings.
i dont know what i will do with my life if i dont make it to pasadena art center or cal arts because im not good enough for any other colleges in terms of gpa and all that
i am seen as a very happy, funny, optimistic person, well liked by many people and i dont know if im hated by anyone cuz i try my best to avoid making any type of grudge or hatred towards me and i am very careful in that, maybe too careful. tehre are like already 180108 posts in this thread already and im not sure who will read this , probably no1 but i am writing this just for my own sake.
well i grew up with kids of many different types of races, armenian, white , japanese, mexican also korean but i had a very very great childhood and that is what has forged my personality and defined who i am, and it is very different to how normal koreans are. my sense of humor, my way of thinking, etc will show that i dont realy belong in that group.
i have a hard time in understanding where i stand, because in a way i dont like being with othe koreans because they are too generally too different from me but at the same time i dont feel comfortable with any other people anymore. i have many "freinds" but not close ones. i feel uncomfortable with a lotta people for some reason.
i hate school not because of having to do work , but beacuse people i hang out with are too boring and i really hate change + its too late to kinda change my group. i find it hard to talk to girls that i start to like because i am a person that has REALLY low self esteem when it comes to anything. i also compare myself to others who have it much better or seems to have it much better way too much and that makes me feel even worse.
even in starcraft. and example is that there has been someone i knew and liked for about 4 years but we have never really talked to each other. during all that time i only remember us exchanging words like twice or something..
i tend to regret a lot of things i do even if i know that the other person wont care what i did
and i will think about it for a long time and it will drive me nuts.
nowadays i spend my time playing dota rotting away my perfectly young life because going out is not an option i can choose to do a lot due to school. i beleive im a person who hates change and is exactly ok with the ways things are even though i know for a fact that my life is acutlaly NOt ok and i need to do something to change my life.
i tend to think a lot and overanalyze especially when it comes to trying to find out who i am.
i am constantly looking for new music to listen to because i have gone through every genre and when i have a playlsit of songs i will proly have listend to it 9999999 times and gotten sick of every song i used to think was so great. there are many things i still think about regreting out when i really shouldnt.
time passes by too quickly.. and i dont do anything about what i should do
im more of a talker, not a do-er.
boxer is my idol and many say i look like him. but i dont think so. i am not content or satisfied with my life right now.

I got my diploma yesterday for SPW (Social pedagogisch werk). I did the BBL-route which basically meant that I had 1 day of school in a week for 3 years and lots and lots of internship. I worked with mentally handicapped people for 2 years and demented old folks for 1. I'm licensed to work in so many different social aspects of society now.
I'm immedietly moving on to a new education. I wish to be an elementary school teacher. This focusses more on development of skills instead of stagnation. It's also a higher level of education which I most definitely am capable of attaining. Due to circumstances I was forced to obtain a degree far under my capability first. No regrets on that one though, I learnt a lot.
For the longest time I had no idea what I really wanted to do besides help people. Now it seems I've found my calling and the motivation required for this. I love it because a teacher is a worldwide job. I know English well and might actually get a degree for English later, too. This enables me to basically work everywhere around the world.
The school itself is awesome too. My class consists out of 28 ladies and 5 males. Not a bad ratio that's for sure. I love it so much that I took the job of representing my class in the schoolboard! :p
My ultimate goal would be to spend several years somewhere in Africa. In four years I will have 2 degrees which flow well together and enable me to be of great service to the people who need help the most.
And last and seemingly least:
me!

Congratulations on your degree, Bey!

I don't think I could ever teach someone english, whenever I got some assignment (mostly grammar, tenses and stuff) I filled in the word which 'sounded right', and basically it always was right. I never really learned that, it just came natural.
So yeah, I speak 2 languages pretty fluent and I couldn't teach either of them to anyone. I sucked at both French and German in highschool because you'd actually have to do stuff to learn them, altough I probably just suck at languages in general

Damn, I 26 and really don't want a child now, not until I'm 30 atleast (atm I'm also not capable of actually getting a child, since that usually requires 2 people, moreover, 2 people who've known each other for atleast some time )

I finished my 9 month of 'civil service' (still dont know how to call it ), where I worked with mentally challenged people (some of you would refer to as retards :p). I had a very good time, learnt lots about myself, society and people in general . After that I had a part-time job at Maui Jim Sunglasses, some of you might know it, because my brother in law is the office manager here in Germany. Had my last day last week and got a pair of sunglasses for free =). So, now I am about to start studying, I'm gonna move out of my parents house in one week to live in a different city (only about 100km away, but still ). I got a nice room in a cotenancy with 5 other people (male and female) and I'm kinda excited about it. Oh, and I will be studying Chemistry which will probably result in doctorate in a few years. Only point I dont like about this is that my gf (we are together nearly 2 years) will be living in a different city, like 300km away. We'll see how we can handle it. So yeah, that's all about me so far, I'm kinda at a breaking point in my life, but I think I'm ready for the task! Hope to read some of yours. ps I forgot to add some points. I enjoy Punk Rock very much, visit concerts and even buy CDs :O. I wear my hair at shoulder-length out of habit for some years now, I guess it kinda reflects my character . I really love animals, I think if somehow I fail university I will work with animaly in some way.. I also used to play basektball a lot, but the team broke apart in the beginning of this year. Maybe I will start in my new home..
You sound cool.
Long hair FTW
Maui Jim sunglasses are expensive as shit. Really great lenses, though. Better than serengeti and oakley! Are they actually made in Germany, or did you work at an extension?

I've been an avid TL.net reader for a long time, but I just recently decided to join and paricipate in the forums (I feel that people should spend a lot of time learning how things work around TL.net before they decide to actively paricipate in posting). I've been playing SC/BW for something like 6 years. I've played "seriously" for about 2 years.

I'm Brian
JUST turned 18. but im in my first year of college, at Ithaca NY
i worked my balls off for the last two years, and now that im at college i have no job, which is the most amazing thing ever. i have almost no responsibility for the first time in my life.(well, since i was 8 or whatever. whenever chores came around.) Ive watched seasons 1-3 of the simpsons, and probably 50 random episodes with my roommate since i got here last month. i go half an hour away every weekend to stay with my friend and go to parties, get really stoned and play beer pong.
im very into like, new american metal i guess. trivium, slipknot, The War Within Shadows Fall, that kind of stuff. And im going to go to australia in my sophomore or junior year as a study abroad program. i cant wait.

I'm Kyle, I'm 20, and I'm in my 3rd (4th? Honestly it gets hazy at this point) year of Software Engineering at the University of New Brunswick. I think Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is a genius, and although he is most likely going to die soon, I think he's happy, so I will endeavour to be so as well.
Once I finish my degree, in the spring / summer of 2008, I have no idea what I'll do.
I really like Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, as well as pretty much any blues / classic rock group. I'd like to see the Queens of the Stone Age live sometime, despite rumours that their live shows are disappointing at best.

I'm Chris.
I'm 24 (will finish in december).
I've just returned to study philosophy at my local university.
I'm addicted to DotA I think.
I hate such threads.
I don't know, I don't wanna know, I'm out.

Hi I'm miza, I'm half moroccan half dutch. I live in amsterdam and work in a restaurant at the moment. I plan to study next year, something history related, dont know which subject yet.
I love starcraft and it has been a big part of my life, ( sounds geekish eh ?) mostly because a few of my rl friends play the game too and it has a great community. Next to starcraft i like to hang out with friends.. getting drunk, high, watching movies or hang out in our great city that is called amsterdam . I occasionally play poker at a coffeeshop with NrT.NevelHAZE and xS.n-JiNaNG, where i take care of their money . I'm also a fanatic painter.. that is.. not on canvas but on walls, trains trucks etc. I'm a graffiti artist in the dark hours.. I like almost all kindss of music, but i have to say that house and oldskool hiphop are my favorite genre's, but i can just as easily listen to bach or charlie parker.
and this is me : http://interval0.rendered.startpda.net/3050001-3100000/3095454_700_700_fgwI.jpeg on the right !

Heh. I had no desire to post here (I don't like talking about myself to strangers), but I just sat here and read through all 11 pages and really enjoyed getting to know the members of the TL.net community. So I'd better contribute as to not be a complete jackass.
My name is Steve, I'm too old for BW (23) and finished up my degree in Physics Engineering last April. I kept my sanity while in school by doing a regular comic for the paper and playing in a rock band. Since then, I have been working for a small engineering company in my hometown in central Alberta, Canada. It's funny - so many people go off to school and work to escape their familiar surroundings whereas I really couldn't wait to get back. I love it here. Going to University in a capital city made me realize just how much of a dumb country-boy I am and how much I hate big cities.
My job is great. I'd describe what I do as 'a one-man R&D team'. It's great since my attention span is so short (yeah, that's why I'm on TL right now) and the diversity of the job keeps me sharp and interested. I get to use my imagination, which keeps me happy - plus I learn an absolute ton with each project I take on.
I'm also a die-hard Edmonton Oilers fan, as you might notice from my posts in the Sports board. This is me during the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season:
As for BW, I can never get away =[
Last year, Brett (NewB), myself, and a couple others created the team sMi., so now we're stuck with it until either the team dies, or people in North America stop playing BW. I haven't played much for years, but I still find myself constantly logging on in order to take care of 'team stuff' and keep things running smoothly. All of us take a great deal of pride in the team we have made, so we would never let the running of said team become sub-standard. Hence, like I said, we're stuck with it ;-)

Hi, my name is Alexander Kuznetsov, I'm russian, i live in Moscow for 7 years now, I'm 24 now (actually i'm 23 gonna be 24 in a week, woohoo!)
I finished Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology year ago and now i work at the well-known russian bank software producing company as a senoir analyst. I work here for 2 years already (Jesus, it really has been so long!).
I play Starcraft since my first year at the University which makes it 6,5 years. I don't play any other games not only because i simply have no time for that but also because they are too boring for me.
I spent two years during my study when all i did was bw playing. I DON'T regret that even considering it made me struggle during my examinations and made my graduate results look disgusting.
I love bw, i love TLnet and i love korean progaming scene. That's my hobby and i'm proud of it. I lost the passion for the game a long time ago changing my life priorities to career and real life stuff, but i will never let the bw-scene go away from me. Simply because it's cool and great.
My little advice to you, guys: do with your life what you want to do, not what the society or your friends or your parents or whoever wants you to do. Just think about the consequences of your decisions and go your OWN way. Even if it's fucking wrong - it is still yours and all you should do - to be proud of yourself and learn from the mistakes you will make.
Cheers!

I'm Alfonso Enrique Rivera Jr, I'm 16, I'm a junior in high school, and I'm thinking about becoming a military pilot. After that, I might just fly commercial airliners, or some other stuff. My dream has always been to fly.
I listen to Metal and all it's subgenres(and it's subgenres, and subgenres of those subgenres), such as Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, Symphonic Black metal, Blackened Death metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death metal, Deathgrind, Grindcore, Doom Metal, Thrash Metal, Melodic Thrash metal, Speed Metal, Progressive Metal, Technical Death, etc....

Yeah, I remember you had a single-line in your OP like "You guys post shit about yourselves, too if you want" so I was like OK, GREEN LIGHT! That's why I didn't post about myself too much here, I already blogged the hell out of some TL.net threads lately.

Heya, My name is Sang Kyum (Steve) Kim; um don't know if you guys knew or not (doesn't matter) but I'm from Korea but moved to Canada when I was about 6y.o. and have been living here ever since; never been able to go back to Korea for a visit or anything.
Anyways, I'm 16 now (17 in December) - senior year in high school and I'm not really sure what I want to do after High School. I love dance (bboy/hiphop) and singing but I don't see myself going anywhere in that area :x
I listen to any genre except country and hardcore metal (I donno, it gets too repetitive for me).
Quit BW since I fell in love with bboying (about a month or two ago) and haven't touched a video game since.
In need of a job, haha.

Hi, Im hallvard.
I study energy and enviroment with major(i dont know what that means but it seems appropriate) in electrical power engineering. I currently spend more time at my voulenteering at the student society doing culture stuff, wich is sweet but it's defeanately messing with my grades. Its now friday 16:00 and i have just missed two papers i should have turned in I cant decide wether or not i should play more SC, because i suck and i want to get better and stuff. But it takes a lot of time and it fucks up my social skills. Anybody else get that feeling? When you've been playing a whole day and only communicating through writing and then go out to meet real people and dont know what to say? Im a really social and extrovert kind of guy but in those situations i feel like im talking to aliens!
whatever... i have a girlfriend who has now moved away from the city we used to live in. it sucks really bad. long distance is not my thing. anybody else feel that talking on the phone is very unsatisfying? i do...
anyway, im good. i love my life here in trondheim and if i fail some classes, fuck it. we all get jobs anyway.
