You and your Summer

[Fierce_LiNk]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and ReZourceman, welcome to the Summer of 2008.

It's sweltering hot outside, great beach weather. Enjoy it, because if you're living in Brighton, it'll probably be pissing down this time next week.

What are your plans for this summer, N-E?

I had intended to go back to Brighton and work there, but there has been an unexpected turn of events. My Dad's brother in law died, so he's flying off to Pakistan with my brother to keep him company. Meaning my mumsie is left by herself with my other brother, and he's driving her around the bend, so I thought I'd stay and keep her company.

This summer, I need to find some temporary work. I've been out searching today, and have a few prospects lined up, so this should be sorted within the week. It looks like my idea of a drink and sex fueled summer are out the window, replaced with a quieter, money-saving summer with my family. It'll probably work out for the longrun, because I need to start saving some cash.

I also intend to work out and re-enter Brighton as a masculine Hulk-type character. A sex bomb. It's a longshot, but it may happen.

I've also been neglecting this place, so I'm going to spend some quality time here wit' ch00. Aww.

Over to you.


YOOOOU!

[The fish]

As pretty much everyone I attempted to plan to go somewhere with is a retard, or in one example, the event isn't what was expected, nothing is happening.

Looks like a job, parties, and video games are what my summer will consist of.

Sounds bluddy awesome that does.

[Eenuh]

Not too much planned at the moment. Might meet up with friends next week but we don't know yet what we're going to do. Might try and meet some other friends (from secondary school) as well.
July is pretty much empty, so that means games, X-files and art probably. =D

Last week of July and first two weeks of August I have my summer job (though I work pretty much every weekend during the year already, and this summer job is the same as my weekend job). Should earn me some extra cash I can save up.

Then right after that we're going to Spain for two weeks of relaxation. Sun, food, DS games, books, sleeping, some swimming... No stress. =)

Come back September 1. Might still have something planned for September but it's not for certain yet.
Start school again on September 22 I think. (boooh!)

[gaggle64]

The weather's been right right crap around here. Many of my friends are MIA. I'm the only member of my family not on some kind of bizarre national excursion or festival trip. The only reason to get a job is as an excuse to get out of the house, though there isn't much about anyway. No plans. To be honest I can't wait for the new academic year to role around.

[Slaggis]

I'm off to Cornwall for a week with a little group of mates to hang out on the beach, go some places, and not remember any of it.

Got a few parties planned, and have a friend from Cambridge coming up to say for a few days aswell. Other than that, it'll consist of trips to the local theme park, going to the movies and spontaneously getting drunk because there's bugger all else to do where we live.

Oh and I'm on youth volunteers challenge this year. So me and 4 other friends are going to be making a garden for the older generation to enjoy. It's going to be pretty hard work and we have to get money from god knows where to do it.

[Monopolyman]

Fuck all.

...maybe another job.

Oi, that reminds me that I wanted to make a site for myself this summer, but I doubt I would know how to or really get around to actually doing it. X3

[Dan Dare]

sex, drugs and rock n roll, please.

[Coolness Bears]

My summer is going to be really lazy. :bouncy:

Videogames is what my summer will mainly consist of and try and complete a HUGE back catalogue I still need to complete! :D

Ooh and I'm going to see Justice which I just remembered. :yay:

I didn't get my act together in getting a job though. (although I've applied to one place) I may be able to get some volunteer work though just to keep my busy! ^__^ (and because I like to help. :))

Other than that I don't think we have a holiday planned. (though Mum almost just booked one) and I'll be visiting a few Universities as well.

Of course a fair amount of time will be spent in my Garden having BBQs! :grin: (if it doesn't rain.)

[DCK]

Today I got called that I won't have a job this summer.

So I was like :blank:

...

:blank:

...

PAAAARTTAAAAYYY!!! :santa:

Summer is going to be legen... wait for it... dary! (Yeah, I'll also have time to finish watching all of How I Met Your Mother, I realise now, woohoo)

[Shorty]

I'm trying to sort out faster broadband so I can spend a lot of time sitting around watching stuff and playing games :heh: Not just that though, going on holiday with the g/f to Fuerteventura in a couple of weeks and scouring the web for any designs that want doing.

[Emasher]

I guess I'll also be camping alot as my family just bought a tent trailer last year.

Can't wait until the Nintendo Keynote also.

[Jimbob]

Summer time, which starts tomorrow for me when i go and see Bon Jovi live. Then i got an action packed summer with plenty of weekend trips, bbq's and a work planned day out over the summer.

[Noodleman]

Quite simply I have the best summer ever fact.

Off to Glastonbury tomorrow and the weather at the moment is so lovely I almost considered not taking any wellies. Bizarrely I am most excited about Back to the future being on the cinema there on Thursday, although the chances i'll be coherent enough to remember to go and watch it by 10:30 PM is basically 1%

Then I'm going for a weekend on the Norfolk broads in July at some point a weekend of pretending to be a pirate and beer :awesome:

Got a couple of partaaaaaaaays in July as well.

Going to see Arsenal - Real Madrid at the Emirates in August

Yet more partaaaaaaaaaaaaay's

Going to see Rage Against The Machine at Reading

Leaving Partaaaaaaaaay possibly 2 infact

Quit my job \o/

September 15th board flight to Toronto :awesome:

[nightwolf]

sex, drugs and rock n roll, please.

+1!

I'll probably be going manchester with friends quite alot this summer, which makes a change, it's nice having nice friends again!11!!!! :yay:

I was supposed to get a job but by the time I get one I'll be at uni :awesome:

[Letty]

Sweltering hot? Please T_T

I'll be spending my summer in a dark and stuffy cafe.

[flameboy]

First time in 8 years I will have not been working all through the summer. Gotta love working in a college! I will be catching up on some missed gaming time, got a list as long as my arm of games I wanna play that I don't own yet;

Okami
No More Heroes
Resistance
Condemned 2

to name a few...

Also off to Paris with the missus and then I dunno go to bits Britain I havn't been to.

[Babooo]

1. Going on a cruise with the family to NY
2. After cruise, find a job, save up loads of cash for uni life in October
3. Get my driving license
4. Go to Alton Towers/Chessington (sp?) with friends

On the whole, reading more books, playing more games, eating more at BBQ's, seeing people/friends and getting fitter (went to the gym today for 3 hours! Wooo!).

Looking forward to the summer!

[Platty]

hmmm my summer I will be working like I do all year round :(

However, I'm going to some festivals. Latitude in July, Ben & Jerrys end of July and Get Loaded in the park end of August :)

Apart from that I will just go for many picnics on the weekends with my lady in Greenwich park ;)

[Raining_again]

I'll be working through all of the summer, it's not even got the novelty of a new job! To make it worse its in a stupid portacabin that's like sitting in a car in the heat!

:(

edit: thank god Platty! i'm not the only one!

[Strider]

I'll break up from school in afew weeks time :D This is when i'll buy some games/dvds to set me up for the summer and hopefully if i pass my driving test go out alot.

In the last week of July/first week of August i'm off to Padstow (Cornwall) camping with the family + brothers (evil) GF. It may involve going to the boardmasters for the day, but mainly we stay on the quieter beaches.

After that i'll just lay around doing nothing.

Although if i get a job i probably won't be doing nothing.

[McMad]

My summer kicks off with seeing Radiohead tomorrow and then paintballing on Saturday with much more to come in July.

It should be a great summer this year although a little more pedestrian than I would have hoped for.

[somme]

Moving to London. Wood Green to be specific, on the piccadily line.

[Pyxis]

I'll be going on holiday to Cornwall with my girlfriend in August. Cant wait.:smile: Other than that, it will be work work work.

Once you leave school, Summer no longer exists other than outside the window and at lunch times.

Ain't that the shocking truth. I miss summer holidays. :(

[EEVILMURRAY]

I've got an appointment to sign on the dole soon. My summer has basically been me painting my old Warhammer models [got them a few years ago, might as well paint the fuckers] Which Rez has loved my work.

Trying to get a job somewhere.

[Ashley]

Summer is always a drag. I am working 15-20ish hours per week as a waitor which is either 'alright' or 'a fucking pain' depending on who im with and how busy it is. But its temporary (maybe...capitalist in me is considering transferring come September) so I can cope.

Other than that I'm just going to try and make more of an effort to see people and stuff. Such as regularly going to see my friend who lives nearby and just doing stuff I haven't done before (i.e. places I haven't been).

Still. I am waiting for September to roll around.

Oh actually the social event of the summer shall be my friend's wedding, as a lot of people I know should be there. (although today I found out she invited her ex and his girlfriend, who they seldom talk to, for the whole day and I only got reception but ho hum eh?)

[Charlie]

I also intend to work out and re-enter Brighton as a masculine Hulk-type character. A sex bomb. It's a longshot, but it may happen.


That is also part of my masterplan, apart fom the re-entering of Brighton obviously. I have 6 weeks before I go to Italy so that's my target to get an awesome beach body. Been doing a bit of weights and sit-ups/stomach crunches, need to start running. I plan on doing 5km as soon as I get up in the morning which isn't really that hard and slowly progress onto doing more and possibly another smaller run in the evening.

Other than that I should be working full-time in just over a week, got a job as a waiter... But the restaurant isn't open yet, should be 7th of July or something like that. T in the Park is from Thursday 10th until Sunday 14th of July which should be bluddy awesome. So many of my favourite bands are playing. Then the week after I'm going to said holiday in Italy with all my extended family. Should be a blast, loads of free wine, private swimming pool and a beach nearby! Hopefully lots of hot, preferably topless, girls on the beach too!

After that I shall just be working for the rest of the Summer going out on my nights/morning off to find some other nice, Scottish girls.

[Domstercool]

Summer for me means, work, hang with mates, work and also get ready for the first year of uni, wooop! oh and LOADS AND LOADS OF GAMING!!

[Ramar]

Worst thing about this summer is I don't have a holiday booked because I'm saving to go to Florida next year. So it's road trips, days out and random pub days for me. Throw in a few gigs, bbqs, parties and pre-season football.

Had a little thought today, and if I've still got the source code I'm going to work on my 3d game project that I handed in this year. It wasn't as good as it could've been, and it would be a good learning process to make it into something a little more presentable. Knowing me though, this will happen for a day or two then WoW will over take.

Also daily Wii Fit, to get me into shape.

[Supergrunch]

I will be:

- Reading many books. (mostly non-fiction, some fiction)
- Learning various languages.
- Playing go.
- Playing GH3.
- Meeting up with friends.
- Going to Japan.
- Sleeping.

And for the rest of the time, being bored.

[Jordan]

Work.
All summer long.

[LazyBoy]

Going straight from here to meet a mate of mine in India, being traveling round there for a month. Then from there to Germany to meet my Mum and my Uncle's family. Then back to England to see all the old pals. Then to Slovakia for a wedding. Then to sheffield to start Uni. And hopefully some sex dotted in between. Should be alright.

[Jav_NE]

Working. Summer means nothing, as soon as you leave uni and get a full time job you dont have a summer anymore!

I'm going to Alton Towers at the start of July though if that counts, but i know its going to be rammed so im not that excited (its the only time my familly can get together for my birthday). I'll also be seeing my old mates in brum which will be nice.

August will be a snore, socially and work-wise and there are no games out, so after my brithday i'm really just looking forward to September when i get to see Millencolin live, and then October i should be going to EuroDisney with my girlfriend which will be cool.

[Ellmeister]

My summer will consist of:

Work
Gaming
Road Trip
Reading Festival
V Festival
Holiday with the gf (if I ever get around to booking one >_<)
Parties
Hanging out with the bros
Hanging out with the hos
SLEEP

[ReZourceman]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and ReZourceman, welcome to the Summer of 2008.

Woot! My own category!

Well my "summer holidays" have already finished, but generalness I have planned.

- The NE Meetup in under 2 weeks! Whoooo! Looking forward to it! (But nervous too...awkward. ;))
- Going to Butlins Bognor Regis hopefully first weekend of August. (Used to live there, so I have an excuse - nostalgia)
- Also going to go for a weekend to my friends new house in Taunton...swimming pool, sauna and there being a good comic shop nearby FTW.

Thats pretty much it really. Nothing else planned at all.

[navarre]

South of France. It's beautiful down there, and we go every year or so. The climate is perfect- not too hot, just Meditteranean.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Fierce is envious of those of you who are going on holiday.

Fierce is a week into his summer, and already wishes he were back on placement.
