The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

[Delightful]

It's somewhat a long explanation and would resolve the mystery

Ah, you're the silent aloof type then?

Yay for friends!

Jaina said she wanted to watch Star Wars movies. My mind was blown so I'm going to do them 1-7 for her instead of 7, 4-6, 1-3 like I did with Jace. I kinda fear she ll think 4-6 are to old looking cause she is def a Millienial girl.

I started a new casual job on Monday and it's going well so far

I now have 2 (pretty well payed) casual jobs, both probably going to be around 8 hours per week. In other words I can keep myself funded while I spend the rest of my time working as an indie game dev, so this is pretty much ideal.

 

Also, I took my grade 8 AMEB singing exam last Saturday and I got a B which I am quite happy with.

(For context: in Aus the grades go from 1-8, then there's a certificate of performance and some diplomas.)

@Claincy: That's great to hear!

Oooh, nice! I'd like to have singing lessons at some point (only, time...). What pieces? Anything interesting, or more technical stuff?

Some technical bits, but more songs. Aside from a vocalise (which was enjoyable enough in it's own right) I sung Pieta Signore, Mit Einem Gemalten Band, Die Post and Ships of Arcady.

My new phone is here! I got home late, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow to activate it, but I have it! Life is good.

I see two of your song titles are in German! That reminds me of something that totally made my day this week. I was listening to my local classical radio station and they were playing something whose tune was immediately familiar to me, but it took me a few minutes to place it--it was an instrumental arrangement of "Die Forelle" that followed a theme and variations structure.

 

Funny story: the first time I ever heard "Die Forelle" was when I watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Moriarty has the gramophone playing it in the background as he tortures Holmes with the meat hook.

Ooh nice I've sung that one before too, tis a good song.

Heh, not the most standard introduction

Full in-costume pictures, anyone?

I'm back from Iowa! As they say, out of the corn, into the mountains.

I've ordered my dad's Father's Day gift. Now I can stop swearing every time I walk into Target or Walmart and see reminders.

"Father: You gave me the gift of life without a gift receipt. As a result, I could not exchange it for something better. Allow me to repay you with this ugly sweater...without the gift receipt! Mwahaha!"

[Briar King]

Hmm I told my dad happy Father's Day today and he just looked at me like I was crazy and informed me that it's not till next sun and loled at me

I saw a girl today that I knew for quite a few years of school, but we haven't seen each other for a while. We've been texting today and I think we really hit it off again! I don't really know what's going to happen, if anything, it just made me really happy!

[Chaos he/him]

Within 24 hours the big site upgrade will begin. I'm excited! There will be an announcement topic in the morning. For now, I shall sleep.

Hurray! Let's hope nothing will break, nothing will fall apart and nothing gets lost ^^

Huzzah! Woo!

 

I need to make an emote to commemorate this!

[Mestiv he/him]

And I'll need to fix my signature as this update will most likely brake it

[Briar King]

Loving this update so far! No worries if I hit the neg button on accident now.

The Rankin/Bass version of The Wind in the Willows is finally available on DVD! I've ordered mine and suggest you do the same 

[Moru she/her]

I don't tend to share many of the awesome things on the Internet. I find that I celebrate them in person and rant about the bad on the Internet. I also realize that it might seem like I complain a lot because of this. Right now there's a lot of really cool things happening in my life.

-I am preparing a move across the country, where I'm stopping on the way to see some of my really food friends. We are driving. 

-I am starting school in the fall after taking 7 years off after high school. 

-I get to get out of a terrible dead end job with a lot of technologically inept people.

I start my trip across the country on Friday evening! I can hardly contain myself I'm getting very very very excited.

I have good news. I am back after a hectic term at school. Had assignments since week 1 whew. Just finished half yearlies thinking we were done for the term. Then the teacher dumped us with a tonne of PDHPE homework, An ENglish assignment to make an adaptation of Macbeth and an 8 minute presentation on a historical conspiracy. damnation. and we only have two weeks to go.....

How is everyone?

[Mashadar Mistborn he/him]

I did NYLT, which is a leadership training course, two weeks ago and it was very fun. I'm going to miss my group though.

Thanks for recommending it, Mistrunner.

I turned 21 today.
Well, my sister totally forgot about my birthday (more like 'it's June already?!' than 'you have a birthsday?') cause she was working on her master's thesis We laughed about it and then she went "Oh no, I don't know what to give you" mode... but then I told her that there was recently the premiere of new book of that author I like and I'd like to have it.
So now I have acquired The Emperor's Soul! Yay!

My parent's gave me a one litre Jim Beam and some money. I think that the best use for that amount of money is to buy White Sand.
And I passed today's exam and today there were two storms... A good day it was
