"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.

Well I guess I might as well have a go.

I'm 21, Scottish and in my final year of a computer science degree at uni.
Been together with my girlfriend for a little over 4 years and life is generally great all round.

Been of ill for the last 6-7 weeks and nobody is really sure what is wrong. Play quite a lot of footaball, every week at uni and used to play at amateur level but I got badly injured and was out too long to really get back into it.

Was born with a clubbed foot and spent first year and a half in a plaster cast which I learned to walk with.

Learning to play guitar, slowly getting better. Like all kinds of music and near enough all kinds of games/films etc

I'm 18, 19 next November.

Studying IT, Graphics & Design, Psychology & Sociology at dRugby college.

Live in Warwickshire, England.

Kevin is my boyfriend. He's nice.

I currently work part-time in a care home for elderly people as a care assistant. Involving talking/being with them at 'happy-hour'=tea time.. :s Not quite got to the 'cleaning bums' part yet. That'll be soon though. Also getting a decent qualification out of this after 6 months.

Will be starting my driving lessons soon. Picking up my sweet, sweet car from Devon next weekend. I shall call her.. Mary.

Live with a mixture of people. Some days it's mum's, some days it's dad's. 4 roads apart from each other.

I play piano and geetar. Okish at geetar. Good at piano.

I hate my name. So I shortened it down to something which now seems more boyish but like it.

I don't care about diets. They suck. "Eat", drink and be merry......

Very excited that I got my first bit of ID 2/3 weeks ago. Ever since then, I have been buying alcohol with a 'ner-ner!' look on my face.

I am obsessive. If I *really* like something, nothing will get in my way. That doesn't include people though.

I like pessimism. More than optimism. Pessimism makes me more happier. :s

I went through a stage where I wondered if I was a lesbian or not. That scared me. Immensely. I had a 'crush' on a teacher at school, but realised I had a crush on her personality. That is all.

Not sure what I want to be when I 'grow-up'. Used to want to be a vet, a doctor, a lawyer, a marine biologist, a pilot, an 'FBI agent', a spy, a professional photographer, a psychiatrist. Most of which have nothing to do with what I'm studying at college! So no idea.

Yep. They were all the oh-so 'vital' statistics. ;)

Almost definitely the sort that doesn't kill you :^)

I'm at the hospital next week, hopefully for the last appointment before the operation, when I should find out how much longer everything will take.

I'm 21 and live in Dublin.

I'm in my first year of Uni at DCU studying a BSc in Physics and Astronomy.

I spend a lot of my time in and out of hospital due to chronic cholesteatoma and being accident-prone.

I live with my parents and grandmother.

I love football and am a life-long Everton fan due to Merseyside links.

I'm half Swedish and most of my family live there.

I've had poetry published and won awards for my writing.

I'm 15.

I live in Northern Ireland, desolate hole of the universe.

I am taking business studies (rubbish), history, geography and french (rubbish).

I have a Dell Computer.

I have a dog and a cat. Cat is called Pitch as it is black. Dog is called Stamp because we found him in a post office.

I play guitar horribly. I like AFI, Blink 182, Nirvana, Black Sabbath and others.

I am now bored.

I'm a games freak.

pb is 31 now eh?

Last time I remember you posting your age, it was 29. Has it been that way for a few years, or has it just been that long since I've read a post where you've mentioned your age? :)

I never know what to write, so I'll follow the original statements and add any ramblings I can think of:

I'm 16 at the moment, birthday's April 3rd

I'm studying French, German, English Language and Politics at Sixth Form in Saffron Walden, Essex

Cunningly, I also live in Saffron Walden, Essex.

I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years and..4 monthsish, we were together once before this too but that...didn't work out =) She's occasionally round these here parts as Iguana. She's lovely.

I work in a small independent PC shop in town called PC Flying Doctors, and intend to leave before too long, as I get paid sod all and have to deal with some of the most awkward types this earth has to offer.

I walk a lot, something about freezing cold winter nights makes me do it, but am getting a little impatient to start driving.

Only child, not lonely any more, was more of a problem when I was younger, live with both my parents.

I play guitar OKishly, have done so for about 18 months, seem to be improving. My plans to get a band together have been a long time coming, but now seem to be getting somewhere, the area need a good dose of proper rock to disinfect this ska rubbish.

Relatively fit and healthy, I keep telling myself I'll go to the gym, but keep failing to do so. Need to drink less fizzy stuff and eat at least some fruit, but no problems with illness.

Nothing very interesting has happened to me recently, aside from running a lot of tech stuff for the school being on the sound team for events now...interesting stuff, know a lot of useful stuff now. Bit of planning festival with Mr Grix, and we're off to a Thunder gig in London tomorrow evening. Current mood = relatively happyish, need more time with Jess and a few people I've drifted away from. Oh, and our common room in Sixth form now has a huuuge stack of chairs precariously balanced in the corner, the legs keep fallign off them. That's abotut he most interesting thing going on here at the moment.

Well, they said it was either stroganoff or curry, but it was just meat in a brown sauce, all tasted the same.

At least one student would “disappear” off the course each week, ill apparently, but I had other suspicions.
