Let's face it. Everybody here like totally grew up. And because of that, well, I guess that is the main reason why the majority aren't here much, including myself.

What has kept me busy is school though. As of last semester, I discovered I actually want to learn. A lot. So, what ended up happening was what I was never expecting, even in myself.

I took Algebra II, Chamber Orchestra, BCIS, Honors US History, Wildlife, and Nutrition last semester (early September-late January). Algebra II and US History kept me kinda busy, and by the end of the semester, I changed my mind about many things. I ended up talking with my counselor concerning my courses for this semester (mid January-early June), and now, I am taking Pre-Calculus, Honors English III, and Pre-AP Chemistry as my main courses, and also Chamber Orchestra and BCIS still, because they last through the entire year. With 3 main courses, I started getting really busy, and I am doing great in all my classes.

I got my report card today. I was just one point away from an 80 in Pre-Cal., and that disappointed me so much because the 79 was supposed to be estimated to an 80. Same thing with Honors English, it's an 89, not a 90. Pre-AP Chemistry is good, since it's an 85, and Chamber Orchestra is a 100 and BCIS is a 90. (Don't ask me what the hell BCIS stands for. It's just some computers class. )

Next year for my final year (YES A SENIOR!), I'm taking AP Physics, AP Calculus, Honors Government and Economics, and Honors English IV for my main courses, and to go along with those, I'll be taking Music Theory and AP Music Theory with Chamber Orchestra. I'm gonna get over with that useless, crap elective credit for Physical Education during the summer to get room for AP Music Theory. After organizing my school year so much, I still little to no clue of what type of career I actually want to pursue.

All I know is just what interests me. And oh my God, university, I don't even know. My GPA is pretty high right now, and I could care less for my class rank. I'm planning on actually moving to Peru for the rest of the stuff, then coming back here to the USA for say, one of those Ivy League schools. I'm aiming pretty high, but hah, I'm enjoying challenging myself.



On a short (and irrelevant) note: I AM GOING TO BE A LIFEGUARD SOOON!!11

Edit: Can't be lifeguard, I hurt my leg some days ago and I'm not allowed to do any sports whatsoever. I sprained my leg/pulled my quadriceps running around the house while playing Hide and Seek. Lame LOL

I'm in the final quarter of being a sophomore in high school.

I guess I'm doing alright as far as grades go, around a 3.25 GPA.

I still don't have a job or car, but I'm playing bass in a band.

Recently, I took what felt like a break from video games...Nintendo failed to release ANYTHING good for the Wii recently, so I got a used 360 and I've fallen back in love with gaming.

I'm doing great. I'm glad to see that good ol' Amorosa is doing the same.

Everyone really did grow up on here...

Although I'm a senior like Luce have have hardly anything to do in my classes.
Lately I've just been busy hanging out with my friends.

Although this week I've been busy with Pokemon Platinum.

I've sat on my ass, being depressed since I've graduated high school. I work at a crappy job for lousy pay. I lost the closest thing I have to a second mother recently, and in turn someone I consider a brother to me has moved away to live with his father since she passed last week. I really don't have very many 'close friends'. I mean we are friends, but nowhere near the level of friendship that he and I hold. We had all these plans ever since we were just young buckeroo's! All of this just blown away. Oh well, perhaps soon we'll both be up on our feet and can meet up some day soon. He's not states away.

Life's no good right now for me I'm afraid haha. Kind of a 'coming of age thing'. I realize I've nothing left to do but go to college sometime soon. Which is the best course of action for me.

I guess all I really must do is set goals for myself. I've been looking into taking some Literature, Art Courses, as well, the Fine Study of Psychology.

Well, now I work at Lowe's Full time so i deal with everything from the intelligence to the down right stupid almost daily. But i still find time to play games & come here & the other things in life

I'm a sophomore in high-school. My GPA is pretty sh*tty (2.9). I've been struggling alot with Chemistry and my family is going through problems with money, and I've got my own problems. So not much motivation coming from there. I am in two bands I sing in one and play back-up guitar in another so that I'm a little proud of. Tomorrow I'm heading down to a local pizza place to see if they'll hire me (My dad knows the owner so I guess I have a good chance getting it). I don't even touch my xbox anymore unless my friends come over, even then the last game I bought was COD:WaW which by the way, was a sh*t purchase.

I'm doing Certificate IV in IT at Tafe at the moment.

Networking is a pretty full on part of the course, for a long time I just couldn't get my head around it.

But yeah, tinkering with networks is fun. I like having Network Drives on my PC, instant shortcut to all the media downloaded around the house.

There are only 4 people in my class, and they are a bunch of losers (except for me, of course). The only friend I made who was an alright guy actually dropped out because he found it too hard, well, he's doing Cert 3 and I still hang with him every now and then.

As for people from high school, its hard to keep in touch with them, haven't seen them in nearly a month, they've all got things to do and so do I.

As for the work there, its hard stuff. We have a 2 week break coming up and I'm gonna use that to just catch up on all the stuff because it was just too much to handle. The course is only 6 months and good thing is if I don't pass, I only have to do the stuff I haven't done, which is good because I can get a job and just pop in every now and then to work, and I'm makin money on top of that, yehow!

Cool thread Lucy.

I'm close to finishing my last year in college (i'm studying A2 Film Studies/Scriptwriting and a national award for Forensic Science - a NA is like a national diploma but not as good basically, i can't choose a ND and A levels so i have to settle with a NA). I still need to retake my GCSEs so i think i'll do that next year and work full time (i'm a sales assistant but i thin i'm getting promoted to shift manager soon for the holidays) then the year after i'll try and either study a scriptwriting degree at Bournemouth uni or do a higher national diploma in film then the degree.

Other than that i spend my time doing homework, hanging out with mates and my gf and partying basically.

Oh i've finally reached 18 now aswell so i'll be going clubbing alot methinks (when i say clubbing i mean getting pissed at clubs then making a fool of myself).

Gosh, reading just now proved my point further... Time passes by really fast, but things change so much. It's kinda scary how things change, for better or for worse.


The way things sound for you Mako, I only wish you well and the best. Hard times do come ahead and it really hurts inside, and the amount of depression is absolutely overwhelming. I can maybe give you some advice. Hmm... I don't know if I should be saying this, but I might as well.

Javid and I have left our own ways a week ago or so. He and I are... "fine," but it was just so many reasons and factors in real life as to why we had to depart our separate ways. We still hold something within each other truly inside, but it hurts so much to have to be a loong distance apart. Not only that, I've been very depressed lately from the amount of stress at school.. And the fact that I got REALLY sick.. I fainted from not eating enough, not getting enough sleeep, and now I have some iron deficiency disorder, and im much weaker unfortunately... Thank God i'm not anorexic though.. But the majority was from.. well the relationship between him and I. I worried him too much, and I kept treating him badly because of how my mood changed, and he truly cared so much as to let me go so I can recover. Well not only me, but him too. It hurts a LOT to have a relationship like that, especially since it was truly special to both of us. It's hard to accept the fact that him and I are "going our separate ways until our paths cross again." And also that I've talked with him everydayy, and that we truly care and love each other to a very VERY great extent. He meant the world to me, and when he let go, I was even more depressed than ever before.

The point is, even when in times when it reaally hurts so muuch that you just feel like... Doing something you shouldn't do, something foolish... Or be sleeping or being alone in your room the majority of the time, with absolutely no friends around you, or no friends to be with you at your greatest time of need.... Everything does get better. You can only go up from theere. Like you said, maybe it's best to be getting to college now. At these times, like mine, the only thing really left to do is to study for my greater future. That's all that's actually left, asides from what I hold precious to me, my family and friends of course. But when I move out, then it really is the only thing left, and it'll lead me farther in life.

Kara, we haven't talked in so long, like I can't believe you're still in the Pokemon series. I'm into the old Pokemon, I can't bear to play the new one. I hardly game now. Every once in a while, I'll play the original Halo, maybe The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, or Civilization III. And also, I can't believe you're 18 already; I'm still 16, but I'm gonna be turning 17 soon (2 more days! ). And tbh, I almost forgot about my birthday.

On a separate note, Rare's games don't really do it much for me anymore. I still like the old stuff from Rare, but the new stuff (not including Viva Pinata) I can't stand. I bought Nuts and Bolts and it was unfortunately disappointing. It didn't last all that long, and I wish it were funner and the characters had more of their charm to show. It's also disappointing that people like Grant Kirkhope are getting dropped at Rare. Really, it's as if Rare's time has come. Oh well, they were great anyhow.

oh my gosh, plus, I can't make the time with the RIDICULOUS amount of homework. I have at average 4-7 hours of homework each day. EACH DAY. I can't believe I enjoy and love to challenge myself, but there isn't much to do. My friends are a bunch of smarty-pants or either really silly, or both, but in the end, I can't hang out with the much, because again, it's the ridiculous amount of homework that just... Bleah. And I'm not even in university yet. My GPA right now is 3.5/4.0. I want to keep raising it..... That's really the only thing left to do, I don't want to ruin my GPA hehe.

On an additional note: Have fun clubbing Ross. Don't do something too stupid though (although knowing you a bit, you'd do it LOL)

Well it just wouldn't be me if i didn't do something stupid

Don't let work get to you though Lucy, if you do suffer from depression don't feel bad to go to the doctors; they'll help you. I hope you pass your courses none the less!

Heh a doctor. Unfortunately, because of the silly recession, we can't afford doctor much; only the medicines. So I'm taking pills for that. I'm kinda okay though even if I don't take them when I'm supposed to. I'm taking them less, so that's progress. As for my courses, thank you, and I hope you pass yours too. I can't believe you're going to be a film maker though... That's great if you like it.

Btw, your avatar looks like a chav.

Wow, a good thread... even though I only lurk here, I do visit the forums almost daily just to see if anything's been posted. But, damn, you guys make me feel so old... I'm 26 now, but mentally probably, err, much younger.

It's such nice weather outside that for some reason I just love coming here because it, and Rare, reminds me of those long Summer days I spent playing Diddy Kong Racing, or Banjo-Kazooie... much simpler times, and fond memories.

Having said that, life's pretty good at the moment, no big troubles and the future is looking pretty bright I think I'm pretty much in my life's sweetspot. I also just finished my website a few weeks ago, check it out www.theBigBadowsky.com

Been in College for a while now. Hasn't really taken up that much of my time though.

I thought you were younger! And I pretty much love Rare for their old games. Especially the Banjo-Kazooie series, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Diddy Kong Racing. Oh, and Jet Force Gemini. God, those were like the greatest games I played.

I am at Police College right now. I've got 2 more months to go, than I have 4 months of additional training with the Military (Im working towards being a Military Police Officer)

I've got a girlfriend that I really like, Im spending a lot of time with her too. Busy life.

Yeah i don't really dress like that by the way

Yeah i've never really been a huge fan of films but it's a good way to express art and i'm pretty good at writing up scripts.
I would post a bit of one but i don't introduce wall of texts in the thread.

I'm sorry to hear all that Luce but I'm glad you're moving on. I hope nothing but happiness in your future.


I just rememberd I'm going to Chicago in two weeks for a band trip kinda the last thing I'll be doing for school.

Oh I'm not 18 yet by the way. Not till September.

Gosh I just feel so young; everybody here is still older. I didn't know you were in Band. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if you were. I'm still in Orchestra, and I love it so much. It's my greatest hobby/extracurricular activity. The Band in our school is going away too for their band trip. The Orchestra already went; however, I didn't go because first off, I already went to Walt Disney World three times, and right now, we're low on money, which is new to me.

Hey Ross, maybe you could actually post that "bit" of script and put them into those things called paragraphs so they won't look like walls of texts.

I've just been working with the Army Reserve lately, it's only part-time but it's the best I have right now with the way the current economy is.

Here at R-E though I've lurked here and there, there doesn't seem to be much going on with Rare right now, but I'm hoping for a new game sooner or later.

18 in 2 weeks and I'm moving house! Woohoo!

Driving test is next wednesday. Eep.

I was 13 when I joined these forums. Look how time went. We are all growed up.

I haven't





Right the miss Luce, i'll post a sample draft i wrote a while ago - this is a part for my film coursework:
EXT. PARK EARLY MORNING
Foggy, empty park complete with silence - several trees and a bench.
Calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Two men, dressed in dark winter coats are sat next to each other; ADAM and NOEL BRADY.[i]

NOEL:
I don’t know, seems a bit ridiculous doesn’t it? I know they always make crazy claims but breast milk instead of cow’s in ice cream? Just sounds like they want people to notice them more, (*******) hippies.
ADAM:
Well it doesn’t sound too bad to me, I can think of a few girls who’s milk I’d have.
NOEL:
Really? You’d actually ‘have’ it would you?
ADAM:
Well if it’s in the ice cream, you’re not really going to notice are you?
NOEL:
I think you and I have a disagreement, breast milk isn’t for me.
ADAM:
So what’s so normal about a cow’s? Surely that’s more disturbing? You’re drinking cow’s milk, COW’S MILK.
NOEL:
So? It’s good for you!
ADAM:
Human milk’s more nutritious.
NOEL:
Says?
ADAM:
The internet!
NOEL:
Right. I don’t care if that’s true or not, I’m not going near breast milk! Ice cream or not!
ADAM:
You’re quite defensive aren’t you?
NOEL:
So?
ADAM:
What’s so bad about breast milk?!
NOEL:
It’s disgusting, why would I want to drink the secretions from a woman?!
ADAM:
Back to the “yeah but you drink it from a cow” point...

[i]Noel’s tone of voice changes, he begins to whisper

Adam laughes

Adam’s face sickens slightly.

Adam’s laughs from shock

Groaning noises begin to sound from behind the two men, they ignore it.

The groans get louder, ADAM and NOEL begin to show irritation.

The groans continue, NOEL sighs from being interrupted and stands up, he picks up a baseball bat which was hidden by his side on the bench. NOEL and ADAM walk behind the bench.

CUT TO: BEHIND BENCH, NOEL AND ADAM STAND BY THE SIDES, IN THE MIDDLES SITS A BEATEN UP, UNRECOGNIZABLE MAN WITH BOTH ARMS TIED TO THE BENCH’S METAL FRAME.
NOEL shows no different changes in mood, he’s laid back and relaxed, he holds the baseball bat pointing downwards with one hand. He speaks to THE VICTIM

THE VICTIM is facing downwards, he groans and chokes continuously.

THE VICTIM stays staring at the ground.
NOEL grips the bat tightly.

THE VICTIM raises his face, his nose is broken, most of his face is covered in flaked, dry blood.
NOEL focuses into THE VICTIM’s eyes, he analyses his fear and hatred. NOEL points the bat upwards and readies it for the swing.
THE VICTIM opens his mouth, his voice cowers.


Noel strikes the bat into THE VICTIM’s face.





Sorry for wall of text

That script is so random. I like it. I like let out such a loud laugh at the beginning though, I was expecting it to be serious.

But then again.

Ha I liked it.

I must say I knew it wouldnt be serious. I mean I've heard what movies you like.

I turned 16 a few months ago. I'm in the last year of school (Year 11/Sophamore) and I have my GCSEs coming up very soon. I'm going to go into Sixth Form in September to study English, French, Latin and History for A Level. I have no idea what university I'm going to go to, but I get really good reports and grades, and my school say I have the potential to go an Oxbridge uni or abroad. I'd love to go to New Zealand, Australia or America. I have played guitar for 4 years, and I've won competitions for it and people tell me very talented. I've been in various garage bands but I'm looking to seriously try and make it in Sixth Form or University. I don't really play games, I lost interest about 2 years ago. I've still got a PS1, N64 and a Gameboy Advance though, and I'll dig them out once in a while.

This is bizarre, for me it's been 4 years since I first discovered RE. I was 12 years old and I hadn't even started secondry school/junior high. It feels like another life time ago and at the same time, just yesterday. Things have happened, times have changed and many have come and gone since 2005, but I have enjoyed and still do, coming here. Even when I lost all real hope or interest in computer games and Rare, I didn't leave because I felt like I had grew up with you guys. After all, we've been friends for 4 years. It's great to hear you've all got plans and you're still around.

OT:This is a really good idea for a topic Lucy. Maybe we should start a project to find old members and see what they're doing, what they thought about RE etc? Then we can get the current members posts and capture it for posterity. Plus it would be really interesting to find out whatever happened to the guy who faked his death and Ninja Tedi.

I'm attending the police college in my own country(Ireland) at the moment.
Not like you fellas remember me! (:

^ I remember you!


XD I remember the fake death


So yeah Chicago band class trip tomorrow at 5:00 am.
I'm sooo excited, gonna take pictures of crap. PM me or something if you want to see them

I'm gonna eat at Midieval Times!

I remember you Wolf, you were in my fan fic

Haha, good write up Ross. I'd like to see how the rest of it plays out.

Send me some pictures from your class trip, or just post them here. I've never been to Chicago.

Ross and I are more interested in the "banging and blowing" that seems to occur many a time at your "band practices".

Busy with lots of things, really...as others have said, I drop by every now and then. You've probably seen the posts on the main page more than any posts in the forum. In fact, I think I've had fewer than a dozen in the last two years........

This is a wonderful time in my life. I'm under a month away from graduating from the University of Kansas, and will be moving out in about two weeks.

Most importantly, on May 30, I get to marry the most wonderful woman in the entire world, my best friend, and the love of my life! We've been dating since before I registered on this forum years ago, which if you look at my registration date means quite some time. She means everything to me, and I'm so excited and happy that we get to be together!

Glad to see that everyone's still here!

Ahh, years ago! I still remember how much of a naive bimbo I was. And how Cam bothered me about it. Good times LOL. Honest though, I am still pretty naive, but not "an attention-seeking whore" as some saw me (damn, I hated how I created that image). But I liked the RE from 2005-2007, it was soooo much fun, especially The Asylum.

And like oh my God, we should like totally do that. Really though, we should, just for old time's sakes. Who the hell was the guy that faked his death? I don't remember that guy, but I remember Jesus and KazooieNostalgia and of course, Ninja Tedi.

Oh my God, Ninja Tedi... If she thought she was weird, I bet I'm a BAZILLION times more weirder than her.


Sorry to double-post, but I just have to congratulate you bunches and bundles. I wish you the very very best wishes for you and your future wife.

Awwwwww thats amazing.
I wish you both a long and happy marriage.

Yeah 2005-2007 was probably the most fun I've ever had on the interweb, I remember I used to log in every day. There was so much going on, the fads like Mako's Sam and Max avatar, Desmond, HMP, Ross and Frofro terrorizing the forum on a daily basis, the lollercaust that was the Asylum, taking the (BLEEP) out of Murdoc, Cam, Ninja Tedi, Blades etc, fan fics by Banjo-Conker, Desmond and Ross, 10 page spamfests that would get closed by Mako or Hunter (Cam's hair topic, MC Man vs Ross rap battle), the April Fools pranks, and the best thing of all, the Off Topic Forum. About 90% of my posts must come from there.

Lucy, I never thought you were attention seeking, it was just that you were one of about 3 girls on the entire forum. Haha, remember when it was "revealed" that you didn't exist and BC and Sleep Question had been posting as you?

The guy who faked his death was Darkbanjo or Darkfalcon or something. It was him and a friend who did it, but I have no idea how we found out it was a joke, it was before my time I think the most interesting part of this "REunited" thing will be all the trolls and spazzers.
NT was funny, because she was just like an abuse magnet, but my favorites were the really obscure ones. There was this one guy who posted as Phil from Eastenders, but Andrew scared him off by posting pictures of Ken, and another one called HebrewHammer who was actually some old spammer's new account, whose posts were pure hilarity but sadly were deleted.

Oh and congratulations Hunter!

Ah yeah. Pheonix Eye. He didn't fake his death. Someone posted saying that he died. But when he got out of hospital and found out about it. He apparently choked the guy or something.

His death was fake. But his accident wasn't (Car Crash).

I remember the headlines lol.

Haha... reminds me of Pulp Fiction; two ice-cold killers having a normal (but slightly twisted) conversation. I like. There was a porn version of Pulp Fiction with this same premise... but was far worse than yours already

I want to see this porn version.

@ Jimbo:
I miss those days of annoying Mako till he'd have a nervous breakdown.
And i still remember it was me who brought Lucy into this world Well.....Made you sign up properly anyway.
Desmond Tutu's always busy nowadays, he has to work a fair bit from what he told me a while back. Never has time to go on the internet or play xbox anymore

And Hunter, big congrats on your upcoming wedding, wish you the best of luck, mister.

Yeah Ross that scripts going somewhere. I also got the whole Pulp Fiction thing coming off it.

And hello guys. My life is fairly dull at the moment, not much to talk about, just lots of revising for exams which are in May.

Thank you Linky

Lol at you and exams, exams are for queers!!

Ah i should do some revision for mine too.

Revision? Queer.

I havent been doing much recently. Like some other members, I have exams, and food tech coursework is being a total bitch.

Thats about it really. Ask me something if you like?

Massive gratz Hunter:)

I'm baaaaaaaack.
Best....weekend....EVAR!!!!


To lazy to post about it now though...post stories tomorrow.

Teabagging?

Did you have long nails and finger a girl?
Then when you went to have a 69 you got blood all over your face because you accidently cut her inside?

Because that's what happened to me the other week.

Tasty.

^Ewwwwww

No there wasnt any lesbian action although I did room with two girls.

So we started out on this bus that looked like a spaceship for 8 hours:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/Kara...68/IMG_0070.jpg

Then we went to the Art Institution:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/Kara...68/IMG_0080.jpg

After that was the Sears Tower which had like 5 gift shops:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/Kara...68/IMG_0096.jpg

Then we went shopping and I bought underwear...no pictures

After that was Rainforest Cafe which was outstanding:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/Kara...68/IMG_0100.jpg

Then we went back to the hotel, which I sadly didnt get any pictures of (it was pretty), where we went swimming and I found out I lost my glasses.

Then we all passed out because we was tiiiiiiirrrrred.

Day two later due to laziness

And you look so innocent on Facebook...

Ah yes, my picture where i look like a 12 year old

All your pictures.

I only have one, butt chugger.

I've seen many

No you haven't
