How is your life going, Escapists?

[MetaKnight19]

Health: Medication every morning and night for epilepsy, the side effects make me feel really tired all day so I'm constantly yawning. It also causes brittle bones as well so most of my joints crack a fair amount. I also have an iron deficiency but it's not majorly serious. At one point I got diagnosed with early signs of Guille-Barre Syndrome, which was a bit unnerving. But after multiple check-ups and a stay in hospital, they gave me the all-clear.

Career: Getting some more hours for my present job. It's not the best job in the world granted, but trying to find something at the moment is a nightmare, plus I get to meet some 'interesting people'. The money isn't too bad either, if I do a decent amount of overtime I'll get around £650 a month so can't complain.

Social life: Could be a lot better, it doesn't really help that I am incredibly shy towards almost everyone. Most of my friends are now either at university or have got themselves a good career. For example, a friend of mine from school has just had his book published. I still see some of them every now and again, but trying to organise a night out with everyone can take a while.

Goals: My history course could've gone better. Coursework made up 50% of the total grade I would get, I didn't have internet access back then either, so I had to go through all these books and it felt like I was actually learning stuff, it paid off as well with two A* and a B+. When I got my final grade back for the whole course I got a D, so I must have really buggered up the final exam. Other than that, I can't really moan about anything in particular.

I think that covered the criteria...

 

[Ironic Pirate]

-Decent, I guess. I'm a tad overweight due to laziness, but I'm working on that.

-Still in school, so this is kind on non-applicable.

-Okay. I have lots of friends, but I'm nervous around new people and I don't think I'll ever have the courage to ask a girl out, which is annoying because I'm too ugly for them to ask me out. Recently, I was disturbed to notice I was relating to the song "Creep" by Radiohead.

-Most of them. I procrastinate, I'm unattractive, terrible at sports (partially not my fault, left eye is fucked up, which ruins depth perception and general hand/eye coordination), etc. I'm also worried I'll be a terrible driver (see: bad depth perception) I won't be able to get a girlfriend, and that I'll die alone, forgotten, and unimportant. So worried that I've been tempted to write a confusing suicide note and shoot myself, just to make people think about me. I won't actually do that, because I don't have a gun and all the other ways sound painful. But I've thought about it.


Wow, I sound like a whiny little shit, don't I. Should probably work on that.

 

[Dango]

1.Fine.

2. I'm in high school.

3. I'm shy, I hate my friends, and I'm pretty much stuck with them since in my school watching anime and playing video games pretty much automatically makes you a social outcast. It also doesn't really help that I don't care much for normal teenager stuff like drinking, parties, acting like an ass, etc. And it also really, really doesn't help that I have to pretend I'm perfectly content with all of it, because if I don't I'll be even more of a social outcast, and my friends will probably stop wanting to spend time with me altogether, not that I care very much...

4. ...All of them.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've had a bit of indigestion since earlier today when I ate one of my sister's cupcakes. It was alright but god, my throat doesn't thank me for eating it.

wealth: I'm basically poor
success: mild. I'm waiting for my transfer to be processed and completed so I can go back to work
career: don't really have one. I stock at Target or rather, I did before I had to move. I'm being transferred from one store to another so once I'm back to work, I should be getting more than I was making previously.

Overall, I'm not where I want to be physically but I seem to be headed someplace decent monetarily.

To put it in a nutshell though:

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Health? Very good.

Career? Nonexistant, but then again I'm young enough to get away with that.

Social life? Extremely good, better than I thought it'd ever be.

Never meeting goals? Probably with devotion to schoolwork, I blame the Internet for that.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

- Fine, more or less
- Shitty, I can't get a job and am swiftly running out of money. Also I was denied Employment Insurance, so I have no fucking income.
- What social life?
- Most of them, but I'll spare you the details.

 

[SilentCom]

I'm still alive.

I'm broke, unsuccessful, and don't have a job or career.

Non-existant.

The living part... Isn't life just grand?

 

[helltime37]

im not in the best health but quite good.
working on gettin a job that hopefully i can survive going to every morning without shooting myself.
got plenty of friends that i see everyday and a girlfriend so it couldent be better
im happy about my life

 

[The Aimless One]

Pretty healthy.....especially considering my lifestyle.

Social life is great....lot's of real friends, parties, girlfriend..... the works.

Unemployed at the moment, looking for work, whatever will do ,though I have a Bachelor's degree in SoundDesign.

Not being employed in that area is my biggest annoyance I suppose. But that will change.

All in all.......my life's great.

 

[StormShaun]

Healthy I guess, I go to the gym now, ride my bike into the nearest mall where the game store is, and walk everywhere else. So pretty good.

Well, I haven't got a job, but my bank balance is above the mark I wanted it to be, and I am able to join the course I want to do. So pretty well.

I have one best friend and one or two close friends, and thats all I need.
BUT I do want a girlfriend. Also I do not go to any parties since I think they are bad and a bad influence.

My life is going pretty good so far.

Just need to pass a few bumps and get a girlfriend and I should be good for a while.

...Well It will be better when Saints Row: The Third and AC:R comes out.

 

[Sinathor]

I'm doing fine on paper. I am in relatively good health (could lose a bit of weight and generally take better care of myself, but still). I am building my career as a game designer and level designer right now and it's looking up. My band is doing nicely too and we're recording our debut album. My social life is alright, although it could be much better, been a single for longer than I'd want. I do have good friends though.

So yeah, everything's fine. But I suffer from chronic depression which likes to fuck up things every now and then. Been there for many years, and I don't see it disappearing. But I'm fighting it.

 

[Hagi]

Health? Fine, really.

Career? Studying, which is going good most of the time. Stressful and busy at others though.

Social? Non-existent by choice, I'll get to that later on in life I guess...

Goals? Good, study is moving along steadily so in a few years I'll hopefully be ready for a nice job. But overall I keep my goals to "C'est la vie".

 

[Womplord]

Health: getting better. I was very healthy my whole life, but gained a few kilos after going to college but lost half of them. Not to mention my mental health *insane laugh*
Career: Dropping out of college as of tomorrow... but I still have other ambitions
Social Life: I've never heard of such a thing as a 'social life'. What is it?
Improve: All three need improvement, which seems to be happening over a slow period of time.

 

[Spud of Doom]

Starting to see more of a range of happy and unhappy people now, by the look of it.

For those of you whose life isn't satisfactory, do you have any plans to help make it better?

 

[2xDouble]

Sucks horribly, and failing fast.

Thanks for asking.

 

[lRookiel]

Health- Ok I guess

Money- Im spending it....

Social life- got gamer mates and college mates. however I'm a shut in so I guess its not brilliant.

Goals- I need to stop procrastinating....

 

[Daffy F]

Oh, niggles and biggles. My health is as fit as someone my age could be expected to be, with a few muscle strains in my lower back that I'm going to be doing some physiotherapy for.

Wealth? At the moment, non-existent. However! I am applying to get a job soon, which should hopefully allow me to spend a bit more on games, hobbies and the like.

My social life is fine. I'm not exactly great at meeting new people, though, which is why I'm so grateful to have a really solid (albeit not as large as I'd like) group of close friends that I can rely on. I guess that's why university scares me a bit - I'm going to have to step away from my existing friends into the unknown. It scares me, but in a kind of exciting way.

At the moment I have several, slightly petty goals, such as get a job, or save money to allow for affording a Warhammer Army next year after my exams! That sort of thing. While it's silly, I want to give it a proper, well funded go. So I'm going to!

My long-term goals would simply be to get something important out of education, like a Science degree (In my case Physics), that would stand me in good stead to hopefully make a big difference to the world in my lifespan!

 

[iphonerose]

health is pretty goo besides anaemia and b12 deficiency
I'm in university
pretty shit
most areas

 

[Insobriety]

How's your health?

What is your wealth/success/career?

How is your social life?

In what areas does your life not meet your goals?

1. Poor.

2. I'm poor. I have not succeeded. My career doesnt pay me enough, it is back breaking and probably isn't going anywhere. (Rigger[I build temporary structures for live events])

3. Awesome.

4. I'm 23 and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I doubt I ever will, so no goals.. I guess it's a good way to avoid dissapointment.
