"Forum Census"

Influenced by Pandaemonium's 'reaching thirty post'. I'd thought we should all just write some basic facts about us, why not?

I'm 17, 18 in January.

Study Politics, History and Sociology at Glasgow Uni

Live in East Kilbride, Scotland.

Been seeing my girlfriend for 6 months, her birthday is day after mine... I've known her from primary school but didn't talk much in Secondary although we went out before.

I'm a supervisor in a hospital shop (George Orwell began '1984' in the hospital) and work part time there.

I'm the only one of my friends who can't drive and have pretty much given up.

Live with my mum, dad and younger brother of 15.

I play guitar and keyboard quite badly.

My diet is appaling and I'm thinking of working out.

Yesterday I wore a hat for the first time in years. Had myself a picnic in the back row of Sociology lecture, a lovely toffee muffin was the highlight. Accidently hit somebody with my bottle in front of me, hit off him and hit the girl infront of her. I also had an argument with the group charity people who muttered something under his breathe when I replied 'No thanks, I'm in a rush'. And therefore just made train, went home with girlfriend and then drank underage in the pub.

That was fun.

Thanks I did. I got very drunk and attempted to go down the stairs on my hands and knees head first, unfortunatly I gained rather more momentem than I had planned on, and I landed in a heap at the bottom giggling hysteriacally.

reactive arthritis is Arthritis thats brought on as a reaction to an infection, sometimes the infection is so little that you don't even notice you have it. It was painful, I had achy joints all over and it stopped me from sleeping, carrying heaving things, and worst of all, holding a joypad. Fortunaly I'm over it now, and I can't even really remember what it felt like anymore.

I was Christian CofE then Babtist. I got mixed up in a Church at Uni that I think now was very unhealty for me (and has been described by a Uni friend outside the church as almost cultish). Fortunaly during the arthritis linked depression it was one of the things I realised I was better of without. My boyfriend was one of the things I realised that I was better off with.

I'm sure most of you can remember what a self-loating, self-pitying cow-bag I was for the first half of this year. I wrote awful poetry and went on all the time about how bad my life was, and probably I needed a good slapping.

> Hope you don't mind me being nosey ...

Of course not, you can always ask, I can always say sod off :p

I think I'm getting arthritis from the constant guitar playing, mouse-using, typing and clicking my knuckles (which I'm trying to stop doing). The knuckles on my right hand ache constantly, so I might go and see someone about it.

Could be Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Loads of people have that.

I was gonna make a really bad joke about "Paris Tunnel Syndrome" and Princess Diana. But I won't...

I've heard of this before - is it like being a hypochondriac?

LOL

not exactly like being a hypochondriac... in that its a physical disease.

And trust me whan I say even hypochondriacs get ill, hypochondria doesn't protect you from that :p

CTS is a problem with inflammation in the wrists impiging on the nerves that run across the wrist bone, which causes pains in the fingers and hand.

At least, thats how my specialist described it.

I'm 16, 17 on 22nd January

I live in Leeds and go to college (6th form to be specific) and study History, English Language, Media and Computing.

I aspire to be a writer, preferably fiction but I will settle for journalism.

I love rock and metal music and went to see linkin park last week, I'm booking tickets for Blink 182 in february too.

I'm not loved up like most of you are, alas I am single. Not bothering me though, have to odd bit of 'akshun' at parties and stuff and theres no commitment. Purrrfect.

I love writing, if you venture into the life forum you are likely to see some half-assed attempt at intellectualism by me.

Fave movie is Fight Club, fave tv show is Family guy, fave song is "Aerosmith - Dont wanna miss a thing"

Thats about all I can think to write.

My tuppence worth.....

I'm 39 and living in Dublin. Have f**k all third level qualifications as I never went to University. Which explains why I'm a civil servant and probably will be until I reach retirement age.

Music is my big passion.....constantly buying CDs and going to gigs etc. This year's been great for gigs - in the last seven months I've been to fabulous gigs by Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, REM, David Bowie, Foo Fighters, QUOTSA, Coldplay...and next week I'm going to Radiohead.

I can play guitar - strictly basic chords, but I can also write songs and have at least one album's worth of first class songs. Currently trying to put a band together to do them justice.

I'm single at the moment, though I have one or two female "friends" who I occasionally get jiggy with. Last proper relationship was two years ago. *sighs*
