[DONE] New application/old applicant

[LiNanMian]

Hi all. Name is Gareth Mostert.
I applied last year around this time and was told I was too young. I did promise that I would re-apply when I got to my 25th birthday. (Sunday)
I have been living in China for the last 6 years now, I am married and I have a daughter (yeah last year I was still unmarried and I did not have a daughter).
I have been gaming since a 386 was a cool thing to own and then a 486 was crowned god. and Qbasic was the beginners tool in games.

I have been dying to join this forum for over the last year and a bit. And now I hope I do get accepted.

So how are you going to be spending your time between now and Sunday, Li?

Maybe conducting a vigil around the PC 'till then? I'm picturing candles and flowers and maybe someone softly strumming a guitar and singing 'Michael Row The Boat Ashore'?

Don't forget to update this post again on Sunday. Just in case we fall asleep while waiting...

[LiNanMian]

Yeah.... well.... here is my first update, getting closer to Sunday and being 25. Today I get to have my 2nd wisdom tooth pulled. I had the first one pulled a year ago, and tomorrow is the 2nd one. and then hopefully in 6 months I get the other 2 pulled. they are growing slower that these first 2.
vigils... no... pain pills and sitting at my desk playing monstergame and techwarrior.

and the newly addictive Galaxy Online Far cry 2 is gathering dust and Oblivion has not been touched in a very long time.

...We're all hoping you have a great Birthday

[Lendal]

Ack. I remember having my wisdom teeth removed. Don't worry, though. There's no real pain involved. It's just a huge bother... I got through the whole thing on a couple extra strength Tylenol. Well, and a ton of novacain, of course.

And afterwards you'll still be able to do the same math problems in your head. You just won't remember why.

What? what time zone are you in cause it is still another 48 minutes to my birthday for me.
Tomorrow is work and then finally induction in TOG. This has been one of those things you wish for and when it is ever so close you feel like a kid at christmas with it's first game boy.

[LiNanMian]

oh yes. Forgot to add. Thanks for wishing me happy birthday.

early. but great thanks

Nothing makes you feel better about where you are more than someone's anticipation to be a togger.

I love it

Happy Birthday!
