That's incredibly specific. Throw a good word in for me while you're living the high life with Kunis.

What's wrong with wallowing in depravity?

You should have thought about that before show night!

You're gonna grin and bear it, your new found popularity!

*flailing* Laa laaaaaa! Laa laaaaaaaa, you'll be popular!

I'm bored, if that's not evident.


Bored or not, you're not painting me green.

Watch what you wish for. You might be deleted from the entire film, find your career destroyed and end up as an extra in The Room 2.


Deleted scenes are movie purgatory. Being an extra in The Room 2 is movie hell.

They're spiffy.

I became a mod in August 2013.

I've changed cities in December 2013 (also a new job). Now I finally live alone, no more pesky flatmates complaining about me (or me about them :p )

Earning nice money. Spending it on travelling :)

Then I must have already known about it before I left, and forgot. Sorry. :blush:

I'm happy to hear it. Everyone should get to travel.
I've found it hard to handle living alone. I tend to get neurotic.


I had lived with flatmates for a decade, it got old. It was time to be on my own for a bit.

All the mess in my apartment is mine. It's a good feeling.

And travel is fun. I should do it more. I'm mostly doing Europe right now, but Australia or USA is in the planning :)

With me as comic relief, of course.

I'm quite enjoying it, it's quite interesting and up my alley.

My University doesn't really focus on our Majors in first year - instead, we just have to meet a minimum subject load requirement and do one elective from our prospective Majors, so it's been fairly pick and choose for me, but I did two electives of politics and one media elective. I'm finding it easy to apply media theory though, so I'm very much looking forward to doing more Media next year.

How are you enjoying Nursing? A friend of mine is in first year nursing, and from what I've gathered it's fairly interesting subject material if a bit stressful.

That's a cool way to do it. I wish course loads were a little less pre-packaged at my uni. I get it for a degree like mine, but from what people doing other courses tell me, more choice in subjects would be nice.

I love it. It's what I've wanted to study for like ten years, and it's lived up to my hopes. It is stressful. They expect a lot of work and standards of quality are high. I feel like giving up sometimes, but that's pretty normal. I really enjoy most of my subjects, though. I just wish we got more practical experience in hospitals. I feel like I'll still be pretty unprepared by the time I graduate.

Mmm. Here in Australia, I think we have the same issues with experience regarding nursing and such, but for interest's sake, there's a really cool government program for GPs, where you get placed into a rural town after you leave Uni for a stint.

But hey, you'll be fine :P. The rest of your cohort know as much as you do, and I'm certain you'll be in good hands when you start nursing out in the Real World. Plenty of experienced nurses prepared and expecting to have to tell you all which way is up. :P

EDIT: Oh, you ARE Australian. 'ello, comrade!
