Let's all sit around the campfire with Awkward!

So, guess who's back!

...

ME!

*pats the camping chair next to her beside the fire and opens a bag of marshmallows*

Since I've been gone for a few months, I'll let you know what I've been up to: Lots of working (still at the little bookstore near my house), doing exams (I passed them all!) , I saw Squiddy again (lots of sex ensued), and I'm heading to summer school next week to do an extra course for next year so my workload isn't too bad!

Now it's your turn!

1. Tell me what's been happening in your lives since I've been gone.
OR
1. Tell me who you are and something about yourself if I haven't met you!
AND
2. What are you bringing to the campfire? (It can be whatever you choose, as long as it's semi-believable on a campsite)

PS I'm going away tomorrow until monday evening so this is a brief visit but I plan to get back into the forums soon.

I got a girlfriend

I can't remember if I told you or not.

Awkwardschoolgirl · Post by **Awkwardschoolgirl** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 6:27 pm

Yeah! You did! Unless it's a different one from before?

You didn't answer question number two!

This sounds fun, except for the part where I don't know if you know me.

So I'm going to shoot for conservative and pretend you don't. Hi, I'm JP, or Nadia, take your pick. And, um. Today I bought a new bikini top so that when all the rest of the girls at my college are lying out in the sun in nearly nothing, I can join them. Because now I have a top that's nearly nothing but technically decent.

And I'm bringing a hammock. A giant hammock. We'll string it between two trees, cover it with mosquito netting, and pray to God that the flying sparks don't make it catch fire while we're in it. (Or at all. That would be the worst way to have sex interrupted.

COUPLE: "Mmmm..."
SMOKEY THE BEAR: "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!")

No, I don't think I've met you. It feels like it's been ages since I was last here!

Thanks for your input, I loooooove hammocks!

Well in that case. I showed up here because I go to college with KotM and he found out that I was totally in the closet about having read GGC for personal pleasure instead of shock value. He pulled me out of the closet and into the light, and while sometimes it still smells a little funny out here, at least there's some variation and it's not all mothballs. [Something a little more substantial to associate with me.]

Awesome! Nice to meet you!

PS Mothballs are sometimes involved here. Watch out, they're harder to get out of bodily nooks and crannies than they look...

Hell, I'm Kris... I don't think we've met.
I love tentacles so much that I even like to eat them. Mmmmm... Calamari.

I have opted to bring a wooden flute and a bag of assorted chocolate bar minis... because sometimes a Smore isn't a Smore unless it's made with a tiny snickers bar.

*tickles Awkward*

Welcome back Darl'

All's well in my neck of the woods.

By the way, I brought a huge sleeping-bag that is perfectly suited to fitting each and every one of us inside, at the same time

You've been gone since March.. not much has gone on for me.

My brother got roped into marrying his girlfriend when "the pill" didn't work.

I've signed up for screen printing workshops so that I can make pro-atheist, pro-liberal and pro-abortion t-shirts and a nice little webcomic to go with it (lots of violence, lots of really fucked up characters).

still pretty much jobless after I quit my last job in Feb. No one in the small jobs wants a guy with a Master's degree when they know I'm going to bolt the moment something graphic turns up. And the graphic people don't want me for whatever reason (I can't get honest feedback from these assholes).

I think I've got a new girlfriend - she's another one that tries to push me away because she feels I'm "too amazing" even though she wants nothing more than for me to like her. I don't know why I keep attracting the ones with all the emotional issues. The old one in California is still helping me with my business plan which is truly awesome of her.

That and I keep coming up with new characters and new ideas for my webcomic. coming up around 600 characters now. And I've just recently learned how to draw horses - gonna have my main character ride around on a cybernetic zebra.

Welcome back! (Same goes for Bri, but I'm lazy so I'm just gonna welcome you both in one post ^_^) You were sorely missed.

Let's see...you've been gone for months...so you missed me being depressed about getting three B's in classes and being teased about that by various people...monetary stressors thanks to horrible job market in this area and no one wanting to hire me...lots of emo stuff with me struggling with temptation to self-injure...on the positive side, I have an awesome support network including people who helped me with bills and groceries (including Forumites!) and one particular family (also including a Forumite) that has pretty much adopted me (to the point of inviting me to move in for the summer) and gives me a place to go when my own company becomes a little stressful and unhealthy. I've also gotten to do a lot of gaming and have wonderful people to hang out with a couple of times a week and I'm going to Michigan next week for a family reunion.

You've met me on the forums, but not in real life, sooo...I have a teddy bear that I carry around when I feel the need for comfort. He's part of why I picked the avatar I did. His name is Cuddlyumptious Snugglybear. He's the perfect size for hugging, and when I don't have him around it's really hard to get to sleep.

Let's see...we already have a fire going...we have a sleeping bag and a hammock and it looks like we have the ingredients for s'mores and some slippery stuff...I don't feel like being practical and bringing a tent...I know! I'm bringing a huge supply of camp songs, ranging from the dirty to the silly and beyond.

Well lets see, I have hopped on the better living through chemistry bandwagon to deal with my depression.

I have a new job

and since we are all GGCF I will bring an inflatible kiddy pool and lots and lots of chocolate pudding.

Aeridus · Post by **Aeridus** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 10:47 pm

I have a 50 gigabyte webspace now with 750 gigs of bandwidth per month, more than I'll ever need in my lifetime probably.

I'm finally getting off my arse and trying to get the webcomic continued.

Not much is new with me recently, though I did manage to get through my most recent semester of college with 3 As and an A-.

Did anyone bring graham crackers? We need graham crackers, if we're having s'mores. I'll bring those, and I'll probably eat way too many of them.

Hello-dee-doo. I iz also back (probably for one night only, until six months down the line), nothing much has happened to me, really. I've just been coasting along with very little access to computers (ooh, the angst!). As for my contribution, several large kegs of alcoholic, hops-based libation. Cheers!

Kingofthemorlocks · Post by **Kingofthemorlocks** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:16 am

well, let's see, I brought JP here.

I've spent much time planning and plotting various RPG-related things, mostly involving tentacles.

I've started dating again, vaguely.

And in honor of the D&D session I had last night, I bring...THE BUTTSECKS STONE! *choir of angels*

(We've been tasked with collected ten softball-sized magic stones so we can go back to our plane of origin. Each is a different type of precious or semiprecious stone, and each has a special name. The one we found already is the Dark Stone, a piece of smoky quartz. The DM rattled off all the names to us, and there's the dark stone, light stone, sun stone, sea stone, earth stone, blood stone, etc...and our cleric said, "Can one of them be a buttsecks stone?")

*pounces and snuggles up in Awkward's lap* Um, lessee ... my laptop has maintained its "slowly falling apart crap" status. I'm a bit closer to finding a job, since now I'm working with an agency that goes "okay, we're going to introduce you to people, get you some contacts, and maybe set up a mock interview with the guy who works downstairs so he can tell you, as an employer, what you're doing well and what you need to work on" instead of "this is how you look through the newspaper want-ads, this is how you fill out a job application."

Oh, and I am bringing MOAR marshmallows. :3

WangyJohn · Post by **WangyJohn** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:46 am

What has happened in my life:
lol nothing

Well, actually, I've become the president of the local chapter of the Left Youth, applied to university, my mom got engaged and someone stole my bike. In that order.

And to the campfire, I bring sausages.
