The Anything Thread

I am right in between you two girls then, second semester!

I never actually thought of it that way! Considering my views of being a twin beforehand this was exactly what I wanted to be alone for awhile without Chloe and BOY has it been hard! I get exactly what you mean!

I have a way of telling if a guy is decent, they have to meet my parents first before anything "serious" can happen ie a proper relationship - anyone who survives a meeting with my father and doesn't run off has to be decent because he is a scary man! :laughing: Plus he gives them a lecture "What ever you do to my daughter, I'll do to you, so the night can end in a nice kiss on the cheek or in deep hurtful penetration" :blush: yes he has done it before to other boys I believe he is a very good guy, he is doing the same degree as I am and does two of the same subjects which is good to have someone to study with also! Why Greda you will make a good Mother with your words you old thing you It is appreciated!

 

LOL, we sure aren't good with this "rule", at least you can claim ignorance because you didn't even know about it and you held on for a while.

Good, he sounds like a keeper! (poor guy going through your father first! :laughing: ) it's definately a bonus that you can study together but even more that you found someone you can be happy with. Keep us updated and enjoy the relationship :wub:

oh no, you said the M word heehee, I'll reserve the term 'Mother' for Brenda for now, don't think I'll add that title to my name soon!

 

Exactly! I didn't know it existed! So I don't apply to this rule

I am the "baby" and Daddy's little girl :blush: So he has to approve and he can tell how people are more so then what I can! Plus he just turned 20 so is only a year and 10 months older then me! I shall keep you updated ( I think I'll take him home for my birthday which is only a month away since I most likely will only be home one more time before then!) So will see what Phyillis thinks

The M word :laughing:

 

Admit it Gerda, we're all practically ancient now

Very funny

Well Brenda does have her octuplets

Wow, your father was very young when he became a father if he only just turned 20!

 

:lol: Seems like I am the only one of all the girls here not to have dated during college/university :blush:

Totally agree here, enjoy the relationship and have fun
Be carefull to not immediatley forget your friends though.
I had that happen with some friends, as soon as they started dating the boyfriend became the most important part and friends were forgotten.

:lol:

Yes, we are getting old :shok:

 

:laughing: why yes he is very young, aka 1 I meant Mark!

I won't ditch my friends that's for sure! Although I don't really have friends up here yet and my other friends are in other cities and states I had many do it to me and it sucks so bad! My best friend is coming up tomorrow which is good - she was one who ditched friends for a boy and we didn't talk for almost 2 years as she became a bogan <_< !

 

I realised today that we have been members here for more than a third of our lives.

Yes, somehow I had worked that out

Did she start wearing the clothes as well?

 

She did, she used to go dressed to work in trackies and no shoes :bad: she is very ashamed of how she became when she got with this boy! She let herself go, she thought who cares he loved her. She gained double her body weight and became bad!! Now she is back to how she was before and a wonderful best friend

 

Don't worry Joyce. I didn't date in college either. Of course, my classes were 99% girls and when I had open classes the guys were icky. (and I didn't go out much anyway)

 

That's a good thing, at least you kept to the rule

Yip, I've had this with friends as well, and it is very frustrating and sad - it doesn't mean you should neglect your friends just because you have someone special now. CP and I were very strict about "girls" and "boys" nights (we still are), so that we make sure we don't neglect our friends, mostly now we all go out together but sometimes its fun if it is just you and your buddies

Almost time to go to Makwathi! 5 hour drive but it's going to be worth it when I sit in the lapa next to the fire and hear the animals and see the stars, can't wait!

 

Richard we are not old

That's a long time to be members!

Kendra, my classes were the opposite. They were 98% boys, so I probably didn't stand a chance?

 

Who actually made up the rule?

 

My classes are really a mix of both genders although STS112 (scientific revolution) is mainly male science students! Man I feel stupid in that one

 

To add on to that, the other main reasons for it are:

1) That these types of things have the potential to use a lot of time that you should be spending ensuring that you are able to become financially independent once you finish university. It takes some time for people to become accustomed to the workload at university and get a handle on the amount of time you need to devote to it. Finding out at the end of the 1st/2nd semester that you didn't spend quite enough time as you should have on university is not a good way to start.
2) The time spent whilst you are at university is a time where you need to make the decisions that are right for you. To shackle yourself to another person (which will, even if you claim it doesn't, influence your decisions) at an age/time when you don't have any idea what you'll be doing in a few years time (even if you think you do) is a stupid thing to do. Your (Codie) post a few months ago about your friend that was upset that you were switching to the main Wollongong campus is a good example. If you were shackled (yes, that is the right word ) to that person maybe you would have decided not to move.

Personally I would extend the rule to be at least 5 years after you finish university (which for some of us takes a while ) but since some people (no names mentioned of course) can't even handle two weeks without breaking it that may not be feasible

Nobody actually made up the rule. It came up in discussions that we were all planning on concentrating on university and then since we all agreed anyway it became a rule for everybody else

 

It is those southern hemisphere females, very irresponsible

 

The rule applies to everybody Maybe Brenda should make it a sticky

 

I am a perfectionist and I can't let myself fail! That is why time will be split up. The contact hours at uni, outside uni study, trying to find a job/ working once I find one, going home to see my family, and fun times. I know no one here really. So please kind Sir allow me to have some fun? I promise to keep at least a C average

I was not shackled to him, although shackled did make me giggle! :laughing: That guy was shackled to me as I did his work for him stupidly kindly. I have made a promise to myself not doing other individuals work this semester!! I was going no matter what

so you want people to be single for at least 9 years from the start of university to working for 5 years on average? gosh boy

Brenda didn't follow the rule it lasted two weeks

 

<_< some of us are responsible.

Adrian, I didn't know, if I did I wouldn't of broken the rule. Should of told me this BEFORE uni started

 

A perfectionist with only a credit average? I'm not saying people shouldn't have fun whilst at university, what I'm saying is that emotional attachments to other people tend to impair thinking skills

I didn't say you were shackled to him. My point is that if you were shackled to him you may have made a different decision.

I don't believe you

No, I expect people to be independent for on average 9 years

I didn't expect you to follow in Brenda's footsteps

 

Fine at least a D average will you be happy? but in some way or another we all have emotional attachments to others.

Sure sure, nah Batemans Bay was way to small to stay for 4years!! I would of gone insane with travel time and having to listen to 4 lectures online etc. I love Wollongong

But Brenda is lovely so why not?







On another note I was looking at something last night and typed my name into it and this is what it says about it.

Spot on and I don't normally believe in these things!

 

Yes but different types of emotional attachments have different consequences on decision making. The type we are discussing is particularly problematic during (and immediately after) your university years since it reduces flexibility and takes an inordinate amount of resources to maintain.

I'll let Brenda answer that one

If you try it enough times eventually you'll always get an answer you like

 

Why do you have to be so politically correct about things?

It was the first go smarty pants!

 

If you look up what "politically correct" means you'll find that it doesn't describe me very well I am however correct

You said you "don't normally believe in these things" which means that you must have tried it (or something like it) before to have come to that conclusion. If you hadn't liked what this one said, you are unlikely to have posted about trying it

 

Always have to be correct don't you

I mean like star signs and all them sorts of things. I have never checked my name one before

 

There is another option?

Try ten different ones and let us know if you like all ten answers

 

Man Richard is a strong person putting up with you

 

Actually, I am this way because I have to put up with Richard

 

:laughing: Richard is the good twin YOU are the evil one

 

You obviously have never met Richard. The horns growing from his head make it obvious that you are wrong

 

only the imperfect twin would say that

 

Exactly Codie

 

Only the imperfect twin says that about perfect twins

 

Richard slap him for me as I will never win, he will make sure of it

 

I will have to decide when the best time to do it is

 

Why is everybody so violent? Do it yourself --> :slap:
