Since the start of the year I have taken 3 major tests to help me in my chosen career path. Due to several factors I am still waiting for the overriding institution to post my gd scores so I can find out if I need to start studying again and be prepared to cough up another $1k and retake the exams in the upcoming 6 months or so. Needless to say I visit the website a couple times a day to see if they have been posted... as of 5 minutes ago, NO. This routine has really grown tiresome but alas, its the joys of being the guinea pigs of the new system.

So any of my fellow Escapists been impatiently waiting for anything??? or any stories of days past waiting for something that seemed like it would never come?

A response from a publisher. They asked for more of my work a few months back, but I've yet to hear a yes or no from them. *bites nails*

So in my senior year of middle school I wrote a newspaper article about a bunch of movies that were eventually going to be made. This was 5 years ago.

It included Indiana Jones 4. A long wait, and it was spoiled for me a few days before I saw it, taking away whatever enjoyment I could. ... not happy.

Jurrasic park 4. I think its cancelled... but I don't want it to be cancelled. Please don't be cancelled.

Wolverine, also a very long wait. It was ok.

FF2. Ok, this came out not too long after the article, but the articles I heard of at the time were saying that puppetmaster was going to be in it.

Magneto. I just knew it as a magneto movie, which i now know is X-men first class.

I've been waiting for this movie for five years??!! Holy hell, I mean, five years. Time flies...

And Borderlands. I re-read the gameinformer article a hundred million times and showed it to all my friends a hundred times: the realistic graphics with interesting monster designs, promise of interesting randomly generated areas you'd have to cross on your vehicle with the giant ants trying to knock you off so they can eat you alive... and a STORY!

I like Borderlands, but it can never, ever compare to the expectations I had for it. I basically waited two years, and got the game the first day it came out, however I wouldn't have an xbox for another few weeks since it was promised as a gift for me.

By the time I got it, most of my friends had already beaten it. And I had no intention of playing with a bunch of people who were going to lead me by the ear the whole time, I wanted to experience it for myself. I tried to do all the missions, and it was too easy, except for the stupid find all the parts of a gun. I like hard games. Easy was not wanted.

Having more fun on my second playthrough, but still, can't compare.

Kingdom Hearts III. It feels as if Square will never finish that that shitty fighting game of theirs and get down to the real work.

Waiting for my bank account to grow large enough to buy one of these...



That is a 496 (8.1L) Chevy big block. Just an ordinary 454 bored and stroked. About 600 horse and torque right out the door.

Almost there. Not quite, but almost.

Haha the posts about games has reminded me of waiting for the release of Fable... the game that was hyped for what seemed like forever and was incorporating this new and mighty karma system that made your good and bad deads matter. Was a decent game had it not been made out to be a godsend for who knows how long.

I've been waiting for the US immigration services to approve my petition.

It's been EIGHTEEN MONTHS since I've lived with the Mrs.

I've been waiting for Easter so I can get a new Lab top since my last one decided it'd like to not play audio and not connect to the Internet.

Although I am patiently waiting for that stuff, so I am not sure that counts.
