What are you doing, what have you done?

[gigias]

Man, seems like everyones already on the road to doing something, I need to get a move on ^^; Guess in a nutshell, I went through college, then went to uni to do a degree on Computer Science and Multimedia. Done all the usual uni things, met a lot of people, became friends with the good ones : P Dossed about for a year after just working part-time, then enrolled on a course to become a secondary school IT teacher and failed spectacularly XD After that, did a six-month internship doing PHP development, and just got back from China, since my gf's out there til around the end of the year -___-; Still, guess its all time I can use to concentrate on work, self-improvement, stacking P, etc. \o/ Every cloud...

And to loiter on the CCC forums and Tinychat, yeah?

It's good to see you again!!

[locomotive]

Ahh! Welcome back Gigs!

Glad your time spent after the forums was great! Seems like you learned a lot of stuff in a short amount of years damn!

[thacrazyhiena]

Now... It's MY TURN!

First of all... I don't know how many of you still remembers me xD (I guess a picture would help xD), but text will do for now 0o0 hehehe.
I'm CrazyHiena or Thahiena or ThaCrazehHiena, I think I was one of the "first" persons to "dissapear" from the forums, so I know I might not be too much remembered xD

Anyway... I got really inactive in the forums and decided to "disappear" that doesn't means I do not remember all of you, guys, often I wondered myself if someone here remebered me...

ANYWAY! XD I'll stop with the drama ò_ó since I left the forums (2006 maybe?), I finished highschool, did some small courses, graphic desing, web desing and animation, sadly the course I took of animation (something I love), was TERRIBLE (literally), I got depressed, had some small jobs... now I'm unemployed and still trying to find out what I wanna do with my life.

My "Art"?... oh yeah, I'm trying to draw once more (thanks to my depression I almost quit it), so... yeah I guess that's all xD I used to had a DA, but I abandoned that site YEARS ago ._.

By the way, I'm 24 years old! whohoooo! *so old* XDD

I'm sure I won't be very active here, but I wanted to see how was everyone doing and giving some sign of life xD hehe

[Mav22]

=3 Welcome back CrazyHiena. I bet a lot if not all of the original gang will remember you. =)

[selic]

Funny, when this all started and the whole group was getting back together i thought to myself "Only people missing are Crazy and Senz, then it'd be a party!" Looks like we got Crazy back.....the person, not the mental condition. :3

[thacrazyhiena]

Yaaay! *feels tha love* Thank you, guys! ;w; *hugs*

Oh by the way, through all this time I should have taken a course in english xD but I didn't... still I think I can express better than I used to do back then xD

[gigias]

Welcome back Hyena We all still remember you, don't worry

Also, as an update, I got me a job as a full-time web developer ^^ So at least the internship came in handy for something

[thacrazyhiena]

Thank you Gigias! ^^ and congratulations for getting your job! =D

After the forum crashed I went in a journey, I crossed deserts, walked light years for the worlds coming back eventually to the furum itself............ I found some people in that place stilltrying to do somethign, but it was useless............................................ So I "end with their suffering", oh poor poor CCCForum Citizens.
I'm still hidden in some unkown place, because some people of the government is trying to catch me because I tried to rebuild the forum. Now that I see there's some Resistence here, I'll check my weapons and try to help ya people to destroy the fiends °C°!!!!!!!!

It's nice to read, see what everyone has done those missing years. I'm glad most of you got through the rough patches of your lives.

I feel the same expressions that majority of the users here are stating how CCC was were it all began, and how it is our other place that we feel like wanting to be in.

So, I was like 16 or 17, halfway through High School when the CCC all began.

I thought it was the best thing ever, probably still is to me because I have no one to look up to and it is pretty much the only reason why I chose art as my bachelors degree and to just grow my imagination.

Today, I'm the opposite of what I used to be in High School, all the time busy, fetching grades, and involved in something like martial arts or sports and with a job.

Now, I'm still in college, skipping classes, not being punctual, not involve in any sports or activities. I just came to hate school, because I was mislead about so many things. Graduating in spring, next year I guess with just a bachelors of arts instead of fine arts.

I purposely did fake/act to go to university for a whole year, hence the lag of time of graduating.

I was coerced by my parents about many things during the years. They opened a "family" store three years ago, forced me into it, and I had to do stuff for it without allowance or pay. I don't know about financials and things, but the only money I have is pretty much just the b-days I get.

Aside that, victim of broken heart thrice times, develop an obsession of an item, traveled to the underworld of personal lives, discover new skills about myself through certain incidents, and became a secret keeper.

My first skill is writing, I found out, that I apparently have a talent for that, I learned about it after my second heartbreak.

My second skill is presentation. I learned about myself, that no matter how late I arrive in classes, how many absences I have, I arrive in class, or put a bad impression on anybody that I'm a failure of whatever I draw about. I still can impress people with something, even with a presentation with powerpoint. An English teacher, told me I had done a perfect presentation in her 30 + years teaching, and has asked me to present it again this fall to her classes, when she requested it this spring.

I don't know if I should go on with it and remind her again, because I haven't gotten her e-mail again this fall. Then again, yesterday did a presentation and got a Good job response by a classmate.

My last skill was a personal thing I wanted to improve. It's my memory. I've improved it to the point where in any art history class, I don't take notes at all. But listen and remember everything what the teacher has to say. So, every Tuesdays and tests days, when I take the quizzes or exam, I aim to a perfect score. I've done it successfully in three classes in the past years, and I'm slacking again in this fall one, called survey of Modern arts.

About the secret-keeper... it developed when I was playing an online MMORPG the last 3 years. It's called Atlantica Online, I'm currently level 133/140. I play it everyday. So, I played with several players, let's say several of them confined in me secrets of their life, which have been mostly shocking contents. But what I don't get is how I managed to be a trusting guy with any stranger across countries and nations. Strangers that aren't kids, either.


But, I'm sorry.

That I don't or haven't practice to draw, create something artistic, even if I find many of the CCC's artwork amusing to see. I just been doing it for school, not for my self-expression or personal gain.

Other than that, I don't know what else will happen to me when it comes to jobs after school... or masters. But I pay attention to random dreams I get in my sleep. Like there was this one about that I have to go find a number of people for a purpose and suppose to randomly travel to different parts of the world.

Anyways, I've become more closed-shut person, less interactive person, and not much out going. For some reason, I still think I didn't do anything the last 5 years, except trying.

See you around, October is a fun year.

[ditch]

This may sound repetitive, but it really is good to hear from ya's. I'm honestly really glad to hear from you all.

I hadn't even known there were new foros until today. I just suddenly had the urge to watch "Hoy Te Amo" again, and ended up here.

So I looked up my order history for my Wacom tablet to remember the year I joined. It was July 2005 I remember now. I think things kinda started falling apart mid 2006, and I think I was out in August, with only brief poppings-in in various places.

So, since 2006, eh? Well, I'm still living in the same place with my parents. It's a major save on rent, which will help a LOT with me eventually buying a house. Maybe a year or so until that. So back in '06 I was still aiming to be an engineer. I ended up getting involved with the robotics club on campus, which I led for a few years, and that introduced me to the machine shop program. I LOVED it, and continued machine shop classes. I worked at a supermarket in the bakery for about a year and a half, as well as being a teacher's assistant at the college machine shop. Then I got REALLY lucky and a friend helped me get a job at the machine shop he works at. It'll be 2 years this February I've been there. I'm even getting a retirement savings plan already that my work is gonna be contributing a bit to! Being 25 now, it seems a good age to start saving for retirement.

More personal life stuff.... Well I'm still building fighting robots, though it has been mostly small weight classes. A friend and I are working on a 220 pound combat robot though. It's gonna be wicked powerful with a big spinning blade. I've also become very involved in church, and was baptized about 2 years ago. I've been learning that it's not easy to be a Christian, in fact quite the challenge, and I've been trying to take on that challenge more, and I'm beginning to understand what it truly means and to not be so scared of it. Other than that stuff: I'm still living the single life, I've started attending anime conventions and will be at the next Comic Con, and I've decided that I want to eventually build my own low-orbit spacecraft at some point within my life, and perhaps start a business out of it.

So, that's kinda a summary of what's up. I don't know if the foros are still pretty dead, or if anybody still frequents them, but I'm at least glad to have this. I use the mouse that came with my Wacom tablet almost every day, and I remember that I decided to get it because of the CCC foros and all the awesome people here.

Very interesting to read what we all have done! I've really only kept up with slackerninja cuz her and i are friends on FB. I wanted to come hang out in NO with you some time, but i really like chicago too! next time i'm up there maybe we can get a couple drinks at the top floor of the Hancock Observatory.

As for me, I graduated from college in '08 with a business degree in marketing and a concentration on finance. I currently work for a major bottled water company as a Marketing Analayst and I really like it. I never thought all this dorky number stuff would be for me, but I have a knack for it I guess. I'm still living in Atlanta. I'm looking for a new apartment that my gf and I might live in together, which would be a first for us. I still have never been to the (supposedly) awesome aquarium here in Atlanta, that I propsed we all go to if the CCC Meet Up thing ever happened and was here in Atlanta. Currently the only game I ever play is League of Legends, and I'm so cracked out addicted to it, ROLFLMLAO!!!!!!111.

ROLFLMLAO!!!!!!111, ok I can hear my brother's kids waking up upstairs. Time to start making coffee for everyone else who is about to be woken up. Again, Merry Christmas guys, and I look forward to bringing this foros back to life!

[Akrim]

wow... reading all of your posts has made me realize how boring a person i am. but i'm only 15 so i guess it will come with age.

[krynny]

Akrim, we all met on Vinnie's original foros when we were teenagers/very early 20's. I remember talking a lot on here about my classes and schoolwork. I'm sure you are just as interesting as the rest of us. The fact that you are posting here makes you pretty damn cool already!
