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.

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.
