Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Hey there, stranger.
pen:
Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm 25, live outside of Boston, and currently date Jon (aka 0bsessions). I've got my Associate Degree in Medical Office Management, but realized I hated it after my internship, so I currently work as a training coordinator for a fucking huge financial company (that has recently done a shitton of layoffs. ugh) I've got a 3 yr old daughter who is pretty fucking brilliant. I'm a pretty boring person who likes to go dancing and get drunk once in a while. I used to go a lot more, but my baby is getting more entertaining so I don't feel the need to do it as much. I love to sing, and I used to compete a little when I was in high school, but then life happened.

Hello. my name is Hannah!
I am another one of the Australian contingent, being a 21 year old, 5'4" (cyborg) girl. I have been around here for three years, starting out when I lived near Newcastle, then down in Canberra, and recently I have been spending all my time in Sydney with est. Soon I will be back near Newcastle again. I am short (as earlier stated), skinny and boney, but will still try and do things that are too much for someone my size. I have scoloisis, which resulted in me having most of my spine fused when I was nearly 17, so I really should be taking better care of my back, but the constant barrage of people asking me if I was ok has caused me to overcompensate a bit and do more than I should. I have two parents and an older brother, all who through extended exposure know exactly how to efficiently irritate me; luckily for me it works both ways. I have a kitty cat, but she is living with mum now, so I may need to get another one when I move home so I am not left alone with my dad's chihuahua.
I like to write (I have a writing/art blog in my sig). I went to Canberra to get a degree in Creative Writing (based in communication, so it would help me get jobs in editing too), but did not enjoy most of my subjects, or the place in general, so I have transferred up to Newcastle to do an even more pointless degree because I dont really know what I want to do, other than learn. I also like to draw, and would like to get better at it, but still not take it really seriously. Words are what I get interested in a lot, so much so that I bought a dictionary and a thesaurus to read and find new words to use. I am very generally knowledgable, but don't really know much about specific subjects, so when I talk about something there are a lot of "thingies" and "whatshisnames" involved in the conversation.
I have met from this forum: est, Inlander, JimmytheSquid, fatty, aztex, lunchy, jmrz, jodizzle, godinpants, violentdove, gilead, elcapitan, vergo, rizzo, bibliophile, thnikkaman, and talked on the phone with Hat. I see a lot of these people on a fairly regular basis, and keep thinking I should spend more time with them, because they are buckets of fun. I will be hanging out with more people from around here soon.
I have never gotten a serious PM about me offending anyone, so maybe I am a nice person? Sometimes I am too nice for my own good and will put everyone else's needs and wants ahead of mine, because I like people to be happy. I would like to maybe one day own a coffee shop full of bookcases and squishy lounges so that I can make people smile. I would be a really boring celebrity.

Might as well do this too...
I'm Andy. 17 going on 18, 5'8". Resident of Glasgow, Scotland and a Journalism student at the University of Stirling - although I might be getting into Politics at Glasgow soon.
Joined a few weeks back so I'm hardly a regular poster but I might start getting more involved if I can't find anything better to do.
Ardent supporter of Celtic FC, although I also follow the New England Patriots.
Like writing and hope to make a living of it someday - failing that I'll probably become a fucking teacher or something. Also probably joining a band so working hard at the moment writing music as well, although mainly the lyrics because I'm basically shite at writing anything bar lyrics and catchy tunes that get on my tits and my arsehole 'friends' used to wind me up with.
That's basically the essentials about me. Everything else is pretty much superfluous unless you want to get to know me better...

Hello, Darryl.
Its Tyler. We should talk. I am a 24 year old living in Connecticut still meandering through an education taking classes to eventually get towards a Masters in political policy. Politics is one of my grandest enjoyments, particularly the philosophies and compromising that comes out of it. I have worked for various political campaigns over the years, not limited to those of Al Gore, Wesley Clark, Ned Lamont, and of course, Obama. I have a penchant for bizarre decision making and often find myself in jobs that are completely unrelated to each other. I spend a lot of my free time traveling about, especially to New York City. While much of my life is in flux, I tend to live a rather fulfilling day to day, and figure now is the time in life to enjoy the chaos. It also tends to lead to amusing romance stories that are then relayed to Julia.
I have been a member of these forums for a few years, and was actually a member of Gabbly before I even officially joined the boards. I began chatting with you folks when I was attempting to get myself fired from an office job I had while attending the University of Connecticut. I started using the forums a few months later, and tend to come and go every 6 months or so. Aside from my school, jobs, and political activism, I spend a great deal of time invested in reading, music, and the NY Times crossword. I DJ occasionally for extra cash, and even had a stint as a bouncer for a friend's pub. During the summer months, I am an avid gardener, badminton and croquet player. I also have never had relations with another person from this forum. That should be noted. I have, however, had lovely experiences with the people here, ranging from Coachella with Kieffer and Julia to Tronnocon to excellent NYC experinces to slumming in pubs with Daniel.
I do enjoy talking to people from this forum, even new people. Feel free to send me a PM or message on AIM or MSN if you so choose.

I'm a student in Ottawa studying economics and math while doing volunteer work in Parliament. I tend to be pretty quiet as I like to keep my opinions to myself. I'm an avid skier and biker and am learning how to play hockey in this frozen city. Je suis essaye etudier Francais parce que je veux travailler au Parliament. I'm going to spend my summer camping in Nothern Ontario while working for a reforestation company. For fun I read everything I can get my hands on, play the sax, drink coffee, meditate, drink beer, and smoke weed.

It should be: J'essaie d'étudier le Français parce que je veux travailler au Parlement. J'applaudis ton effort. C'est avec la pratique qu'on devient meilleurs.

This is how I would speak it, I've never been good with written French, but couldn't you say:
Je suis en train d'essaye etudier Francais...
