dude why would you write off Antarctica? That's like in my top 10 just cuz ANTARCTICA
Your goals in life.

The Antarctic would be a wonderful place to go. It'd be like the Arctic, but for ants!
(I'm serious about wanting to go there though. Not even the South Pole (since you technically can't) but just the continent as a whole. I guess I've always been drawn to the kind of climates I'd do really badly in)

@Print:

It needs to be at least… 3 times bigger!
-
Goal in life? Become a professional writer. Not journalist; novelist. I've had that dream since I was 12-ish or so. I've got 2 years left on my masters degree and still haven't started something proper though, I'm slowly but constantly losing confidence in my abilities.
Where is your writing section thread
-
My goal is to stop beating myself up and finally pick up the pencil and go back to drawing. And write again without inhibitions.
That and actually go back to college and make something big of myself. I'd love to be a successful psychologist and actually contribute something big and new to the field… I think getting over these years of depressions and regaining the ability to jump back into all of the things I love and enjoy is probably the first step I really need to take regarding the big picture.

Where is your writing section thread
I second this. If it helps, you don't need to write a masterpiece straightaway. Just writing a few paragraphs and then sharing it can be an impetus to write more :)

@wolfwoof:
In the age of digital cameras that can't be too hard
Just start your own site and hire actresses like any other porn dude
I wasn't being serious (as I'm sure you are well aware)
The only actual goals I have in life is to travel to lots of countries and continents (been to Europe, North America, Asia, Australia), as travelling imo is such an amazing experience I love it so much- Move to New York or London within 5-10 years time (for my degree of Commerce/Economics) and get a decent job
Wouldn't mind running a marathon - to be a good person!
- and be happy with what I look like (weird being 22 and still not accepting my looks, which is even weirder because girls find me attractive and I think I'm average)
- And stay fit and healthy like my parents
- Definitely want to go skydiving as well and visit iconic locations around the globe
- But yeah just wanna be sorted financially, physically and mentally within the next 10 years or at least find my own feet in thsi world.. (I'm still lost)
- Move to New York or London within 5-10 years time (for my degree of Commerce/Economics) and get a decent job

Echo-ing with the people who said that getting into the habit is key to starting something positive. There's always that particular obstacle (mainly sloth) that's a real pain to pull through, but after that the going gets so much easier. Give yourself a month to start work on something and there'll be progress for certain.
We really need to keep this thread for posterity to see whether we made it in the end.Now, if only i got started on my goals…well that's another ball game for me haha...
-
sometimes when i think about how AP and NPC has changed, I feel really sad because.. i dunno, this place is more than just a forum but a group of people i love…
Watching you guys' lives change and seeing old friends move on and log off for good is really sad but it's just how life is I suppose. there's so many ways the people i've met here have influenced my life. :)
i guess one of my goals is to finally move on myself but i dunno. i just havent reached that point yet.
Aww man. I feel the same about AP… This place really made me happier and waaaay less lonely. I remember when Steve Ressel told me about it and I decided to check it out. I was going through a depression period and had really low self-confidence back then and I dunno, the people here really changed that for me. And then I even ended up meeting my other half here! What are the odds? Also I miss Tigerlily like hell... I wonder if our paths will cross again with her.
I guess my final log-off from AP probably will be after Zeph and I start putting out babies lol Who knows! I might still pop-by and say hello now and then, even after that.
One of my big goals, is meeting people from here who really made an impact on me and who I would really like to give a hug to. I owe quite a lot to them for supporting me and helping me through hard times even if they didn't have to. :)
-
1. Earn another degree.(In progress)
2. Pick up a third language.(In progress)
3. Run multiple successful businesses.(In progress)
4. Have a family and give them absolutely anything and everything they could ever possibly want or need.
5. Help SAVE OUR CLIMATE! -

Oh wow for some reason I just remembered tigerlilly from my stalker days.
And I remember Ivotas too. The forums were quite violent during those times however.

they was the best of times they was the worst of times
honestly, i'm glad the forums are boring now. that time period kind of brought the worst out in me i think and if certain people came back, I probably would resign.
-
I was really a casual lurker/observer during that time period, but yeah @_@ For awhile AP was a mess. I love it more now that all the really awesome and kind people stuck around and the drama has all left the building. It was really hard when I was having some tough periods in my life to come here and get the shit torn out of me no matter what I did. I'm not the most skillful debator/internet aruger, but it was so disheartening when really good discussions would get de-railed by people only looking to be shitbags. Now I see a lot of good, frank, and meaningful discussions going on between users and it's really nice.

I want to meet you, tooooo <3 I don't know if you guys are staying up in CT or going back to Greece someday, but hopefully I'll be moving up that direction in 2-3 years time and I'd love to see you!
-
I love how it is now compared to then too. I don't frequently us AP as much as I use to anymore, but I like that it seems more friendly for newer members that are actually quite nice or different outside this boring need to chew others out for VERY little things(Seriously. I'm not fond of those that choose small easy targets). Before it just the board gave this impression that it was out to destroy anyone that happens to register and make a new post or topic. So yeah, I'm really glad those days are behind.
@Chrissie: I miss tigerlilly alot too. She was one of the people that made feel I was appreciated in this community, even in the places where it seemed like there was there was always bad rap directed towards me. In a cheesy way of putting it, I felt invincible standing up for what I believed in. Still do ^^
Hmm, To be on topic. I guess a good life goal would be to meet the people I've met here that changed my life and play Mario Kart or something. And maybe play Mario Party with people that I might have gotten off the wrong foot with too(Forever enemies!).
-
For what it's worth, as a new member, I've found this place to be really welcoming. Granted, I've posted more outside of the Manga/Anime threads, and the atmosphere in those is slightly different. Broadly speaking though, this is a friendly place with intelligent users and worthwhile discussions (certainly compared to similarly themed places).
To save the world…from something.
Devastation.

I want to live in Scotland and learn the pipes and become a scholar in Scottish music history.
And find hard evidence of and swim with the Lochness monster :ninja:

haha how did you know steve
Yeah it'd be totally cool to meet you guys sometime :)
I met that whack-job on Deviantart ages ago! We chatted quite a lot and he literally dragged me out of my shell and pushed me into the world to meet more people.
It would be cool to meet you and Carter too. Zeph knows the areas you are at right now pretty well!

I'll be moving in the USA next Summer for good probably! That's the plan at least. All depends on the Visa coming out before then! @_@ We are in Greece right now visiting my uncle and cousin (my aunt and my other cousin are actually vising my place in Cyprus lol) but we are leaving soon, me going back to Cyprus until December and Zeph going back to the USA.
CT will be a temporary stay for us! We'll move on to whatever state Zeph picks for his Graduate studies and then we'll see where the wind takes us! :)
-
Finish up my degree, get a PhD, hopefully get a research/teaching job, preferably in a different country.
-
My goals at the moment are to finish up my degree in biochemical engineering, get a post-graduate degree, and ultimately get a jbo that I can enjoy and feel good about. One of my ultimate goals is to feel like whatever I do end up doing is ultimately helping people live better, healthier, and/or happier lives
-
. Now I see a lot of good, frank, and meaningful discussions going on between users and it's really nice.
I think alot of that is because us old-timers grew up
I know i used to be all kinds of annoying. Zephos is another example
from zombie Ayn Rand.
Oh that reminds me that i once had a goal to read all the classics
Had a good run in high school. But nowadays you don't really have time to read the things you want to read

haha nice. it's so.. interesting.. to hear people's stories about him. i asked richard horvitz one day about him and it seemed like a subject he didnt really care to talk about hahah
It would be cool to meet you and Carter too. Zeph knows the areas you are at right now pretty well!
lol yeah, i totally bugged zeph about SCAD before i applied here (he still probably knows a bunch more about it than i do, since ive kind of been a hermit the whole time). it would have been awesome actually if you guys could have come to dragoncon with us. we're staying with a group of old AP/NPCers and gonna totally party it up this weekend. maybe next year?? well we'll probably be in this area of the US for another year or so, till we both finish up our masters next summer and then who the hell knows where we'll be. it'd be cool to maybe travel to greece one day tho… i went to italy one year and absolutely loved the Mediterranean atmosphere lol
@wolfwoof:

aint that the truth
ive been reading the same book for the past 4 months at maybe a chapter every two weeks or so >_>

Steve's pretty crazy. Haven't talked to him in a while tho. Wonder what he is up to!
Yeah, it would've been pretty neat! I'll be back in USA for Christmas and for a couple of months after that. We'll see then if we can arrange something!
If you ever plan on visiting Greece, hit me up with a message, so I can give you a full plan of cool places you could visit and short trips to amazing places like Istanbul for example you could go on to for real cheap! -
Ah, NPC; brings me back memories. I pretty much lost my interest in thar site but I remember how I was everyone's favorite chew toy. I can understand why I'm not very popular. However I'm still looking for aggrestive and challanging site. Joining Fun Piece was a mistake. Anyway my goals in my liffe is to writing stories. Many things inspire me and I like to write stories based on history and today's social issues. I also like to draw. This is why I write blogs. It's suppose to be like a resume where I tackle many subjects. My favorite would be history. I also want to travel the world too, I like to visit Europe.

All right, in order from lowest to highest difficulty. My goals are…
- Get a haircut
- Look good naked....or just look good in general
- Try some Gelato for the first time
- Get some really soft pillows
- Make a comic book
- Wear a robe and slippers for a day
- Find Waldo
- Live long enough to see One Piece end
- Do a push up (I can almost do it!! :D)
That's all I got so far. It'll grow more over time, but I think I can do at least half of that before I die.

Lol, what can I say? Push-ups kill me…
Maybe it is a bit exaggerated tho
-
A goal of mine is to be a good friend and not feel hatred toward anybody.
-
Never to stray from what I believe is right. I'm already failing that…
Other than that my dream is to have a XJ8.

My meeting got bumped to next week since she needed to talk it over with some other head honcho
Apparently my municipality does not have anyone who can assess this subject ( cooking that is). So she informed me that they need to strike some deal with the next town overs school whatchamacallit. So yeah here's hoping that they're cool about it
Cause if not i might as well just jump of a bridge. I'm getting far to old for me to be able to put this off any longer. Heck i feel to old as it is

Last I heard. He was engaged. Got hit on by a bird. Was learning the piano. Got into moe anime.
And oh. I think he destroyed his thumb with a hammer one time. (He was also making more LOST boys comics)Not sure when exactly he'd randomly pop up again.
