TurtleDove12 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Let's post some happy things! What are people looking for to over the next day, month, summer, year? What are some fun things people are doing and would recommend to others? Let's talk about some fun & exciting things. Books, music, animals, skydiving, anything! Distractions, ideas, recipes. Let's get some going. For example, I'm headed to Chicago, New York City, and San Antonio this summer to visit three different friends. And I'm going to do my best to get my UK Citizenship (Have to contact my father & the embassy) as I have a job lined up after graduating (In London). I'm sad. Don't get me wrong. But there are plenty of other threads to be sad in. Let's get a conversation going. Post ANYTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Steph Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Good idea! I'm going on a family road trip next weekend, to visit my brother in Oklahoma. It will be really nice to spend some solid time with my family, not worrying about work and all other commitments for a few days. I am 95% sure I'm going to take a job in Alaska in August. I've always wanted to go there, and I'm excited to see a completely new place and meet more new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetarah Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well, I am going on vacation next month to New Orleans, ALONE! I LOVE traveling by myself. I do what I want, I can wake up at 5am or 5pm if I feel like it, and I have to say I really do entertain myself. Some think vacationing by themselves might be lonely...No way! It's liberating, plus it really gives you back your sense of independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, I've always wanted to just visit the British Isles and do from time to time on Google Earth. I'm glad at a relatively young age I found semi-retirement. My father should have had it so good.

Thanks, A+ thread! Thx No doubt. It takes a long time. Yessir....unless I don't want to put up with the horrible air and water quality, coupled with horrible driving and terrible weather Don't worry just about the British Isles...big world out there!

No problem. Try Los Angeles for 28 years. You know, I have also wanted to be a beach bum in Hawaii. I am very apt, but my friend tells me they are not so welcoming of non-locals. Never-the-less, I will beach bum it in Hawaii for as long as I wish. I just have to get one of those two week fish food dispensers for my goldfish.

Thx Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 NICE! Beach bum it up, dude I have enough money saved up to do it in style, but I think beach bumming it will be more of a challenge for me. At one time, for a few years I was homeless... (Yeah, it kinda' sucked, lol.) But, now a'days I work at home and also have a budding landscaping business on the side. When we are young we always wonder how we will get by... I have been hungry, but never starved. I have spent nights with no shelter under rain, but have for the most part found shelter. I have been lonely, but never completely alone. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moving Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Good thread! I'm looking forward to spending a final summer in my favorite/home city with my friends, getting ready for a big competition in my sport, and going back to school this fall in a new country to work on my second graduate degree.

DeenasRhino Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Find a hobby you enjoy doing. For me, it was always basketball. I loved it growing up and played a lot until I met my gf. Now that we're broken up I'm back to playing and it's a great distraction. When I'm playing it's the only thing that I think of, nothing else.

pumpkinmoon Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not too much for me. What is important to me is just trying to get my life back and a life that I am happy with. I may go out on the weekend, I may choose to stay in. I don't know yet. I want to finish uni. I want to get a decent job. I am looking forward to being able to spend more time with my mother now that I am no longer in a relationship which is something I wanted to do and always felt guilty that I couldn't. Being single really doesn't bother me anymore. This will give me the time I need to sort other areas out in my life. Things I have been putting off for years. I placed far too much importance on the relationship and everything else in my life suffered. When all of this is done and I am in a better place, I will be ready to meet that special person.
