Because I care, dammit.
I... have been overcome with this strange urge to know more about my fellow EoFFers. It'll probably pass soon, but I figured I may as well indulge the feeling for now.

Please respond to the following prompts in regards to how your life is currently going. I have attempted to keep it simple. I'm interested, but don't expect me to read a goddamn novel.

How Goes Your...
- Schooling/Career:
- Love life:
- Hobbies:
- Gaming:
- Etc:
Por moi~!
How I Roll...
- Schooling/Career: I was laid off as a teacher and have been unable to find a job, and having difficulty deciding what career path to peruse after dedicating so much time, energy, and money to a career that decided it doesn't need me. I still have a few more months of unemployment checks coming, and BJ has his totally :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty job that he hates. xD
- Love life: BJ and I will have been together nine years as of April 21st, and we still totally like each other. Go us.
- Hobbies: Mostly been learning some Japanese, and baking. Haven't really done any crafting lately... sad.
- Gaming: I've been too busy to play Arkham Asylum. :( Got in a good amount of Brain Age though, and Sims 3 as always. Looking forward to getting FFXIII for 360.
- Etc: Spending a week in Japan in April. Woo!

- School: Taking a Javascript class right now! And a second Spanish class! And other classes that are boring and not worth my money.
- Love life: Tobi and I will be moving to California either this summer or winter. Depends on when we can afford it! Plus, Jeremy and I have already talked about getting married soon after that! I'm a little nervous about moving.
- Hobbies: Just sewing and baking, I guess.
- Gaming: I've played just a little Pokemon Yellow, and Jeremy and I started a new game of Vagrant Story last night (he recently bought it for me). I'm also planning my next fortress in Dwarf Fortress; I want it to be perfect!
- Other: I told myself I wouldn't have bangs again, but I'm unhappy with how I look with long bangs at this point, so I'm getting a haircut soon. I want bangs again.

Awww, you guys really do love me. You do! ;___;

How Goes Your...
- Schooling/Career:
  First year at UCR (University of California, Riverside). Physics/Math double major. It's chill. 4.0 last quarter, hoping to pull the same this quarter. -__- Thank heavens for non-insanity-inducing curves like those of Berkeley. :P
- Love life:
  Dated a guy a few times last year, but cut it off. And it ends there.
  
  Openly gay at school and in my social life. But, not to my family beyond my siblings. Just can't bear to break their conservative little hearts. xD
- Hobbies:
  Let's study in the library! This summer and spring quarter I'll be working in a physics professor's lab. I'll just be a grunt for now, but more interesting things will come in later years~! Yay for research stipends. xD
- Gaming:
  Let's play Trickster Online! It's fun. I have no console at my dorm nor do I have any handheld to play with. :/
- Etc:
  Know what drum corps is? Can't perform this summer because I need 16 units this summer to graduate in four years con two degrees. But for '11, '12, and '13 I will! Someone do Blue Devils with me next year!

- Schooling/Career: Eeeehh I'm having a nice time, but I'm currently on academic probation.
- Love life: Soopar! I won't be seeing Mogi again until June when he comes down for orientation, though. He sent me some nice flowers for Valentine's day and his birthday present is currently in the mail. We're thinking after this year we're going to make the whole week between Valentine's Day and his birthday a big thing so we don't lump the days together.
- Hobbies: I couldn't lug my sewing machine to my dorm, so it's just gaming at the moment.
- Gaming: Currently I'm going through FFVIII and Ace Attorney Investigations. Maybe I'll play a little GTAIII this weekend! Mogi and I are going to wait until he's here to play FFXIII, we want to go through it together :3
- Etc: I've had to ask three different people today not to commit suicide :|

How Goes Your...

* Schooling/Career: I'm an European Engineer (Ing.) in Applied Physics. I'm currently doing an Masters degree in Medical Engineering, but will switch to a master in Nanotechnology at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at SUNY (State University of NY).
* Love life: Heck if I know. I have a few flings, but nothing solid. Would seem unfair if I leave for the states.
* Hobbies: Basketball, Golf, Gaming, and reading (usually Ludlum books)
* Gaming: Usually RPG or shooter. Actually played HoM&M 2 today, pretty cool. Playing Halo with Psy and Iceglow is always fun.
* Etc: Just had a poker night with my friends. I love whiskey and cigars. I think I should've been born in the 60's.

Schooling/Career: Just finished college, don't have a job...moving swiftly on.

Love life: Can't really be bothered to get into a relationship at the moment...not that I'm getting countless offers xD

Hobbies: Gaming, (thinking about) joining the Gym

Gaming: Fallout 3...again. I'm pretty much waiting for FFXIII atm.

Etc: Looking at this makes me realize how much my life is suffering atm. Not that I feel down or anything, but wow, I'm one lazy mo fo. Perhaps an epiphany coming on...

I would never have expected it from you, Shlup!

Schooling/Career:Second year of university; double major in English and Secondary Education. Probably behind because I've been studying abroad in England @ University of Reading for the year. Summer school is inevitable, though I'll pray to the gods that I won't be behind a semester. Transferring to Stony Brook University; possibly doing a 5 year course that results in a masters degree as opposed to a 4 year bachelors.

Love life:It's dope, except for the fact that we're going from living together to being long distance again in a month. We've been living together for the past 5 months in Reading. It's nice. Now Huxley is going to have to be a grown up and get a job after completing his masters degree in June, and I'm gonna have to go back to university in the US; he should have a much easier time at getting a green card once he's gotten his masters degree.

Hobbies:I have no hobbies in England, since all of my hobby craft stuff is at home. Except for writing, which I've been a lazy bum at.

Gaming:Finally been playing games lately. Dwarf Fortress, Sims 3, Pokemon Red!

Etc: Nothing much. As soon as I get back from the UK, I work for 5 months full time or close to it (last year I worked full time, except for Wednesdays) and then I get to go back to college.

EDIT: Which SUNY, Aerith Knight? I'm going to one of the SUNY schools soon!

How Goes Your...

* Schooling/Career: I'm currently a junior in high school, and have no job to speak of. :P

* Love life: haha, very funny.

* Hobbies: i love reading, #eoff-ing, hangin' out with friends, and playing video games.

* Gaming: my ps2 is breaking down. D: I was trying to play ffx-2, and every time i try to board the airship, the game freezes! i was so mad.

* Etc: Not much. Eoff is an addiction for me. It subsequently affects my grades. I'm grounded a LOT.

Schooling/Career: I'm enrolled at a local community college in my second semester. Currently taking some really stupid classes like Introduction to PC Applications (I have a project due on Tuesday about file management!), English (Research Paper on the legalization of prostitution!), Early Civilizations (Minoan, Greek, Roman, etc) and General Psychology (boring as hell). I have good grades.
Love life: Been dating the same person for three years, five months. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing but I like it.
Hobbies: I like reading, writing, playing video games and long walks on the beach. I love kitties and hate bunnies.
Gaming: I play WoW.
Etc: I want to go to Europe this summer.

I just had a glass of delicious wine, so forgive me if I am loose-tongued.

How Goes Your...

* Schooling/Career:

I am applying for a :bou::bou::bou::bou:load of internships for this summer, most of which in a particular region of the US to be condusive to my lovelife. I am tutoring thermodynamics for a second semester, which I still love, I'm doing pretty good in most of my classes, but I'm kinda behind in reading, but I feel so goddamned on top of everything!

* Love life:

I'm planning to spend Spring Break with kishi~ he sent me the most wonderful card on valentine's, too <3

* Hobbies:

At this point, I'm not sure if I actually have any hobbies xD It seems like a steady stream of schoolwork, my cat lola, and keeping house. I'm reading Vanity Fair and The Vampire Letstat, and really like them both.

* Gaming:

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Do you like zoos, Shlup?

Academic

Schooling/Career: :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty. Hit a roadblock and now I have to wait to finish school. YAY! But after that, I'll be done with it complete and holding a Master's. I've got no job, either. I'm looking for one, but you know how it goes.
Love life: Nonexistent and I likes it that way.
Hobbies: I write a lot. It's really the only thing that can calm me.
Gaming: I was replaying Uncharted, but I stopped for some reason. Still have to play the dlc of ACII and whatever that stuff's called for Resident Evil 5.
Etc: I'm hungry.

Rantz

Schooling/Career: Graduating this June! Will be getting a PhD in Informatics—what I've studied is called interaction design, which is a pretty wide field, but I'll probably work with web design. If something else fun-sounding and vaguely related to any kind of interaction design comes up I'll be all over that, though.

Love life: Ehh... had a few goes at having one, didn't go so well. Not sure what I want right now.

Hobbies: lol

Gaming: I'm a pretty casual gamer. Or maybe I'm just lazy. I dunno. When I do get into a game, I'm all over that :bou::bou::bou::bou:! But I don't really make much of an effort to stay updated in the gaming world.

Etc: I haven't eaten in like... 12 hours! I keep forgetting to eat dinner xD I'm getting a bit hungry now though, so I'm off to the fridge.

Edit: Hungry-five, Academic

Schooling/Career: Currently in my first year at Manchester University, taking a Combined Studies course. It's alright, though I worry about the ridiculously high costs of it, and how much it will actually help in my future. Especially when taking into account the fact that I'm not doing those subjects like law, economics or 20 different languages. I had a lazy first semester, and it's roughly the same in this second one, though my academic behaviour has improved at least a little. I have a part-time job at Burton. It pays okay enough and I enjoy my co-workers. Also, I'm a beast on accounts so the managers are happy. The people who work Sunday go on STDs after work (Sunday Team Drinks), which are always good fun. We go to a nice Irish pub, and the barmaids are freaking hot. And they love me. I get 20% discount. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6207/coolup.gif

Love life: Broke up with a uni thing just before Christmas break. Mutual thing, and we're both happy with it. Other than that, my love life isn't brilliant haha.

Hobbies: I suppose "gym" now takes over from hobbies. No time for real hobbies, and no space either. So me and a few friends go to the gym. It's not as fun as real cycling, but at least it keeps me healthy. Also, swimming is fun.

Gaming: Own a 360. Haven't played it for a few weeks. Tried getting a game on my PC at one point, but I have no graphics card so it was laggy as hell. I doubled my RAM, but I'm definitely going to have to buy a graphics card. xD

Etc.: I'm going on a tour of Europe for a month this summer. I just had my hair cut. Short. All gone.

You're coming and you're bringing Tobi! Last time I asked Jeremy about you moving out here he was all "Durp, I'm moving to Florida instead, durp." Don't be nervous about moving, I will protect you. <3

UCR! I know bunches of people who went to and/or still go to UCR. I didn't know you lived so close to me; I grew up in Corona and live in Orange for now. I went to RCC, right by there, but went to Cal State San Bernardino for university 'cause I'm lazy and CSUSB is easy.

Physics/Math double major though... you have got to be kidding me.

That sounds cool! My husband is a drummer. He was in Santa Ana Winds in high school, though since then he's stuck to rock drumming. Drummers are awesome. <3 When you perform I want to hear about it. BJ loves drum lines and crap.

I remember spending too much time on EoFF in high school and being grounded for bad grades... ten years ago. xP

You were in #eoff last time I popped in; it's nice to see you on the forums too.

In June I'm changing your username to Doc Rantzien, PhD, just so you know. I didn't know you were actually smart!

And you're properly documenting all of your courses of action so that I can copy you as closely as possible.
