And so i stumble onto this little neck of the woods. I don't suppose many people would remember me, and if they do, they probably aren't here anymore. But seeing as i talked to alot of people quite a bit here, i hope you're all doing well.

You should come to Australia one day, all of you (even if you're already been).

Anything else. Umm... not that i can think of.

Talk about MIA for a while.

Well, I haven't posted on here much lately either...life's been busy.

For those interested, he're a quick rundown about what's goin on:

• My daughter Caitlyn turned 3 in January. She's hilarous...very imaginative...very talkative...she keeps us very busy.
• We've moved. Some of you may remember we were sharing a house with my brother and nephew. The arrangement was supposed to last about a year until he could recover from his divorce and get back on his feet. Five plus years later he's finally ready to be on his own (or at least shackin' up with his girlfriend of a couple of years now). So now my little familial unit has it's own place (sadly it's still a rental, housing prices are impossible to keep up with...especially when you have a child in day-care). We moved in the 20th of last month. I hate moving.
• I am still employed at the same engineering firm after 6 years. A fucking miracle.
• I've been playing quite a bit of Gran Turismo 4...I even bought the Logitech Pro wheel that is made for the game...the learning curve has been kinda steed but very rewarding.
• I just downloaded the trailer for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith last night...I am once again excited about Star Wars.
  

Everything's the same here. I'm in the middle of finals week, then I'm onto my last quarter of school! Then graduation! Gasp! I applied for a public policy fellowship to work in Sacto for 11 months. I get news on that next month... Other than that, I've done very little to find a job after graduation. Anyone wanna hook me up with a job??

I will be getting a puppy dog in June. A PUPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYY. YEEEEEEEEEE. <3 <3 <3

Kim (my wife, for Sickb0y) wants to go back to uni and, since I have to work, the dog will prolly look after himself in an apartment on the 4th floor. Be a grown up, sweetie.

And I don't think there are more than 10 guys posting on this board these days (or even reading). WOuah, remember when it was hundreds?

Who stayed true to the bored ? you know who you are

Lisa is currently in a job which would be incredibly rewarding and really great for her, if it wasn't for a complete lack of support from her boss, and the complete and total disrespect from her employees. They are, of course, uneducated idiots who really aren't even qualified to do what they do, but have been there so long that Lisa's boss won't fire or even discipline any of them. So she is pretty grumpy a lot.
To top it off, Lisa was put on Paxil in October, and come to find out, 1. She didn't need it, 2. The side effects are MURDER (migranes, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of appetite in conjunction with weight gain, and to top it off, irritability) 3. That shit is harder to kick than heroin 4. There isn't shit you can do. So she has been working on kicking it for 5 weeks. She hasn't taken any in 2.5 weeks, but the side effects of withdrawl are horrible too.

So I have been having a field day with trying to figure out how to do everything I have to do...

I think you should get one.

of course, people are like "get a cat" because they don't care if they're alone all day and such, but I'm allergic to cats, so that's no good.

And good-old sickboy.. wow.. long time no talk dude. Welcome back, though it seems only briefly. There are still a dozen or so of us clinging onto this little bored. Its good to see (read?) you again. If you use AIM still my s/n is still (and always..) "iDarthPaul" (yes, I am that dorky).

Trevor turned two at the end of February, and its crazy. Hes so into EVERYTHING these days (including Barney and Elmo unfortunantly..), but it is really awesome to see him learn something new. He adores playing Mario Party on the Gamecube, hes an expert at operating the dvd player and stereo.. and looks to be more technically inclined that I am.

I still live at home, I still work at Texaco and I still come to the Bored. I'm going to see Ben Folds live in May, and possibly going to France in the summer to stay with a French student who was staying with us. I'm in a band that never practices and am now able to drive my Mk2 VW Golf. Wahey.

How much is petrol over there these days? Hehe. Its always nice to see (hear from?) old faces every now and then. I'm glad everyone is still healthy and doing alright. Sigh!

More like fictional resume, right?

Anyways, I'm doing well. I moved to Japan a year ago and have been teaching english near Nagoya, which is a fairly large city. The job is pretty fun and really easy since I work at the McDonalds of Japanese english schools. but I'm paid pretty well and it has a strict dress code so I guess it's a real job, eh?

Back in my Berkeley days (when I was working in that sad lil' Alameda mall), I had my picture taken with the easter bunny so I could scan it and send it to my mom, and geez. Scary easter bunny.

I'm close to finishing my first year at college (in the asscrack of Pennsylvania, also known as Gettysburg). I'm potentially majoring in physics, but I want to do a double major w/ Environmental Studies, and do a self-designed concentration in sustainable agriculture within that major, and also minor in writing. and maybe spanish too. oh, and peace & justice studies. and when I'm done with all that, I'll save the world. Or something.

I got into college. I will start in the fall.

I hope this doesn't mean I have to start living on a diet of ramen again.
