What drives you? What motivates you to do what you do? What is your major goal in life? Are you taking the hand that fate deals you, or are you trying to forge your own path? Do you stand by your friends, see people as objects to greater server your purpose? Do you have a small amount of close friends, a lot of acquaintances, or something in the middle? How would you describe your personality? [ 05-10-2003: Message edited by: diadem ]
My driving goals in life are relatively simple, though not easy to obtain. I want a job that helps me make people happy, hence my desire to create games, host parties, run my radio show, servers, and the like. I want a good woman, someone who is smart, knows when to be silly and knows when to be serious, and has a good heart. I want to live in the suburbs with a front yard where I can BBQ and a neighborhood where people arent stabbing each other in the back for their own agendas. I love speed, the occasional adventure, and tactical team sports, hence my enjyoment in playing paintball, skydiving, spelunking, camping, and racing. Im still a nerd at heart, and enjoy scifi, anime, and the occasional DND game. [ 05-10-2003: Message edited by: diadem ]
Seriously, I just want to be able to keep doing the things I like. I hope that if I do well enough now, I can get a job that I like and be able to support what I like at home, as well. If I can be surrounded by computers where I work, then go home and be surrounded by computers, I'm set.
I don't really care for fate. The important thing is making the changes before momentum sets in and makes it difficult to change anything.
As far as friends, well, I keep finding myself more and more reclusive. I like to keep to myself on a lot of things, and this makes me pretty quiet most of the time. I'm finding that for each separate interest, I have to talk to a separate group of people. I feel weird in a large crowd. [ 05-10-2003: Message edited by: Where's Waisz? ]
No, wait, hear me out.
I believe in the ripple effect. Every action, every inaction, no matter how small and inconsequential, has unseen and often unseeable effects on the world around it. A little compliment could set things in motion, make or break someone's day, inspire, influence, enlighten, anything. And that inspiration in turn will have it's effects, and those effects their own effects, and so on and so forth. The bigger the splash you make, the larger the ripples.
Enough ripples, and a wave is formed.
Enough waves, a tide.
And if the tide hits hard enough, a tsunami.
I've always been the crazy artist type. Ever since grade six I've loved the written word and taken joy in spewing out everything onto a piece of paper and holding it up for people to see what horrors my innards can create . I want to write. I want to be published. I want to make a big splash, I have horrible pipe dreams of becoming a classic, but overall... I want what I do to make the world a better place. I want to inspire.
The only goal I have is to live my life and die eventually. I don't really want anything out of it. As for friends, I only have one and a few acquaintances. We're still not that close.
Personality? Well, I never believed myself to be able to accurately describe my personality. I'll let others draw their own opinions. I'm sure a lot of you believe I'm a waste of life.

Cynical, borderline evil, and apparently needing more self-esteem.
I am cynical, jaded, and grew up sheltered. Odd mix, but it can happen.
I want to be able to move a lot. The military will let me do that.
And most of all, I just want to be with my boyfriend. Right now, he's the most important aspect of my life.

I used to be really selfish, but these days, friends are most important to me.
My only goal now is probably to help my friends as much as I can.

I'm in college and I don't have a major nor do I care about having one. I didn't want to go to college right away but was forced to, I'm doing good but my hearts just not in it. I want to wander, just walk everywhere, live day to day. I don't really ever want to be a productive member of society and that doesn't bother me. I just want to wander and be content.
... seriously.
My ultimate goal is to..be a doctor, and help people, la de da.
It also invovles getting dates. Holy crap.

Why do you need to get dates? I don't like the taste.

Right now really all i want to do is wander, as sukky as it sounds, jsut say fuck it to everything and keep ovieng in no directon at all, seeign the world/ country/whatever
I don't make friends quickly but the few I have I'd say I'm pretty loyal to, I actually hate crowds, I don't have any problem carrying on a conversation when I'm alone with someone, but in a crowd I often just sit there bored.

It's win/win, really. [ 05-11-2003: Message edited by: Where's Waisz? ]
That's what drives me.
Growing up, I thought I would have a serious mental breakdown before I turned 30. Anything the docs put back together in my head wouldn't really be "me" anymore, so I didn't worry about it. I grew up just waiting for it all to come crashing down around me, dealing with things as they came.
Well, my head got some internal adjustments, and I didn't crack up. But, my life is much the same as it was back then. I know it's still gonna end some day. Big plans just aren't something I think about. I'm just along for the ride till the end.
Mind you, that doesn't mean I do nothing. I still deal with life, and try to enjoy the bits as they come. I just don't have any big, life-guiding plans.
Yet.

Veruca Salt had this to say about Captain Planet:
I have an irrational fear of turning into my mother: married to someone I resent, and not having enough financial security to be able to afford to do anything about it.
Change mother to father and take out the resentful marriage part. Basically I want to make a lot of money and marry someone I love, maybe have kids.
