Wow, too much to put in one post. I joined way back when in 2001, hard to believe that was 7 year's ago. To give a brief synopsis though;

Left school, lived in Munich briefly, got my first IT job, had several breakups, grown a bit, moved to the US and made good on my promises of world domination(in the works).

Grew a beard.
Shaved a beard.
Drank some beer.

I just quoted you so hard luck you have to hate yourself!:D

Pepe LeFrits · 12-05-2008 04:08PM

Well, I was 16 when I joined and I’m now 25, so quite a lot.

What’s changed:

- I’ve gone from being a 16 year old school-kid who was mad into everything computers and was nailed on to having a career in computing (after a CS degree), to being a 25 year old adult(ish) with an oirts degree and a masters in ‘what am I supposed to do now?’. Still haven’t figured out the answer to that bit yet by the way, but I’ll let ye know once I’ve dealt with my one-third ‘I’m an adult(ish) now and I’m not sure I like it’ life crisis.
- Family configuration has changed considerably. I shall not elaborate for everyone’s sake.
- About a foot in my height and probably about five stone in weight.
- I’ve gone from worrying I’ll be ugly for my whole life to worrying that I’m not making the most of my pretty face and that I’ll miss it when I’m old and plastic surgery ridden.
- I no longer use smilies on the end of sentences when I am being sarcastic or humorous. Takes away the fun.
- Moved abroad. Thought a new country would solve all of my problems. It didn’t, so I moved back. Now thinking of moving abroad again.

Well its only 6 months for me...

A lot of exciting and wonderful things have happened.

Best of all for me would have to be the following..

I gave up the smokes on December the 1st and am still off them!!:)

I am pregnant again!!:D:D

Lol I'm going through something similar and I'm only 22.

Sangre · 12-05-2008 06:53PM

From 15 to 22. Its been a while, probably the most important years of my life. Any memories before that usually need to be jogged.

Did my Leaving Cert
Got my degree
Got my masters
Did lots of exams in between (and after)
Got my ideal job in my ideal firm (yet to start)
Did some travelling
Met lots of new people
Worked various jobs for money
Have had various interests I've taken up and abandoned (CS, Poker)

I'm pretty happy about what i've achieved so far.

Suppose there might have been a bit of the effects of puberty here or there.

ShaneU · 12-05-2008 08:24PM

Repeated half of my degree

Exciting, I know.

FlutterinBantam · 12-05-2008 09:57PM

Aaaah the poor Flutt didnt do too much
except travel the world.

Highlight would have to be that night in the Clarence after
a bad bout of constipation,the Flutt got things moving big time.

Dropped a gigantic coil of shíte in the upper suite and after admiring its
girth and sheen and pointing,I stuck a note on it.

"Bono-this one's for you"

Hope he got it:cool:

Not too exciting ,but hey, I felt much better.
