In a trailer park with a 50" plasma on my bedroom wall and a jacuzzi in the master bathroom. Ya know, white trash pimpin.

the dream

[rirv]

Serious answer: I don't really know. I had a life threatening illness before Christmas - I was 50/50, a coin toss away from death for a day or two, my organs failed, but I pulled it round ("remarkable recovery, constitution of an ox" - my surgeon), a month in hospital - now I'm back on form, it took me a few months, I'm searching for more. I've more feeling for everything, I've fallen for a girl I can't have (but I've had her, if you know what I mean, but I feel like a teenager), I need to get out in the world, I'm... I don't even... my mind is being blown every day. Summer is coming. I'm a yes man now. Let's go.

i'm doing my final oral mini-thesis defense and comprehensive exam in less than 3 weeks. a week later, i'll get to walk across a stage with a silly robe and hood and flat hat and a masters degree. cannot wait.

Wow, glad you're okay rirv.

I've got a super-cute new daughter, still living in Denver until Christmas when I'm done with my MA degree.

My professors have been enthusiastic and supportive concerning my desire to teach and write, so I'm looking for both teaching and graphics jobs while we try to figure out what's next.

holy crap, rirv! Glad you've made it through.

Exploded appendix, sent home after op, four quandrant peritonitis ensued, two more operations, multiple infections, all the best pain killers. It was an experience. Lost 20kg, put it all back on now. Everything is blowing my mind still. Non-ironic YOLO.

A lot of people really got some serious shit going on. I myself did for a long time. I don't know if I misunderstood the nature of the thread or what, and gave a silly (but true...if only very partial) answer. But it was FAR from the totality of things. I hope things get much better for those suffering. To everything is a season.

[rirv]

A lesson I've learned... if you wait long enough, you usually see anyone you wanted to see naked, naked. The amount of times...

[rirv]

Also, need to stop posting on here when I've been drinking.
It's like throwing empty bottles at your high school.

^ a super good idea and totally satisfying?

[roosta]

sentiment extended from me.

I'm trying to make my business (http://www.afreshbagofcoffee.co.uk/) a profitable full time thing. Going alright but ups and downs like anything.

Lived with my partner 2.5 years now which is crazy for me. Sometimes random private thoughts that I immediately feel guilty for about running away - but I assume everyone has this from time to time? Right?

No longer smoke the green stuff; tolerance to drink is way lower but I still probably drink too much. Don't do enough running.

i just got PRK (the precursor to Lasik. cause i had thin corneas, but its all good yo. quality of the post op vision is the same, healing time is the only difference). so thats pretty cool.

Im glad you survived, rirv!!!

I'm living ok. I'm better than I was a few months ago.
