[Odin]

@Sinner: welcome!

@Ryan: Well, yeah, that's about what everybody says - but there probably isn't anything else to say, actually. Still it is one hell after the other.  :cry:

[Cecilia]

ooh 2006!
What a way to start of the new year!

I'm inbetween semesters right now, the semester starts again on the 26th.

My personal life has went from one extreme to the other (this I may not explain here) and has left me grinning from ear to ear.  :D

Unfortunately, my family has been sick, but with my renewed faith, they are kept in my prayers.

Hope everyone is healthy and happy!

[Avricha]

Hi there!

Hope everybody got into the new year well.

@Cecilia: Hope your family will recover soon!

[This Dying Soul]

whats up peeps.. yep you guessed it right, its that time of the month again. and no I dont mean that time where you have to plug a certain hole with cotten.. yep thats right its time for the monthly check in...

lots of things are new for me this month. I traded my nice and sweet expedidtion for a monster and I mean a show quality monster chevy 4x4 that sits so damn far in the air that I have to almost use a step ladder just to reach the step board rofl... im back home as you all know with my ex wife and son working on patching up a relationship and getting up to speed with my son and his recent events.. were having a blast now that we are a family again.. I have a new job working construction for a well known company around the Everett and greater Seattle area framing houses.. and life is just wonderful at this moment in time..

I hope that every one else is doing as well if not better.. for this is a great start for the year 2006 for me...

[Odin]

Good to hear you're fine, Ryan.

I have good news from here as well! Up in the air again, after flying maybe a little too high in too little time, I'm settling with good feelings and thoughts again. The ice around my heart is melting as well (oh, that red haired fairy is really doing something to me there... ) and so I am all in good spirits.

Work isn't that optimal recently, but anyway, I get along quite good.

I am thinking about applying for a post-graduate scholarship in Hiroshima, Japan. Got the offer from university yesterday and additional information this morning. Scholarship would start in October and take 18 months with the option to continue into a doctorate program... hmmm! Financed by a Japanese program, that's a clear pro for this thought, for usually you have to figure out how to finance studying abroad. Hmhmhm... Japan... some English country would be more to my liking, but Japan is cool as well. I'll try the application, I think.

[Lestat]

Well... alive. What else to say? .

[Avricha]

Wow, Japan, that sounds really cool. I'd love to go there some day.

Well, nothing new with me, just going to have my mid-term exams in about 1,5 months and still not knowing exactly what to learn for them  :?

[This Dying Soul]

japan.. you lucky bastard. I envy you.. I have always wanted to go to japan to study tradition martial arts.. you are truely a lucky dude.. \m/

[Odin]

Haha, well, that's a nice idea, Ryan! Althouth the focus of the scholarship would be some computer science studies...
