update

[KillMeImIrish]

hey guys! it's me- kmii, or christan. i had so much to say and had no idea where to say it so i just thought i'd start my own thread.

 

first off, i really haven't been a regular poster in about.. two years. so i don't know what you guys remember me as, but i remember me as being quite a jackass in this forum. the days of me and LSUtiger. sorry, but i have to take a moment and laugh at that! we were royal douche bags to like everyone in here! we would basically pick fights with people just to piss you guys off. SO i guess i'm apologizing for those days! although it was pretty funny to be on this side of the screen, im sure my reputation never made it past 'jerk.'

 

secondly, WOW i miss this place. so much has changed. regulars are now people who i had no idea even existed. it's changed so much in two years. i have come on here in those two years, but mainly only to post in the member's pictures. i haven't looked around much in any other part part of the site. i have spent the last hour just touring around and seeing what's up. the old guys are still pretty much the same and you newbies seem pretty cool. but yeah- i miss the old days. stupidsoul1, vash, victim, LSUtiger, people i cant even think of off the top of my head. just jacking off and having a grand time. the forum in those days was DOPE for real! i miss being a regular poster and looking forward to coming on the forums to see replies and stuff.

 

soo if anyone is interested in an update, my life right now can best be described as busy. i attended a university in South Carolina last year for my freshman year of college, and decided to come back home this year to go to a community college for 2 semesters. but i plan on going back up to North Greenville University in the fall of '09. school is pretty tough. i'm dreading spending the next 3 years, at least, in college. God definitely did not bless me with brains or motivation. worst combo ever. i work at a local grocery store, have been for about 2 years. i love being a cashier. i'm such a people-person, so i love seeing old and new customers. so working and school has me tied down usually during the week. i don't drink and party as much as i did when i was a regular on this thing. i've toned down a lot. actually, 2 weeks ago was the first time i drank in about 3 months. so that will give you an idea of how much 'fun' i have anymore. i pretty much changed my life around for the better. i am striving to serve Christ better as i venture through the Christian lifestyle. i love it, but it gets pretty hard. i've lost about 30 lbs since July and i feel GREAT! i still would like to lost about 70 lbs, making my goal 100 pounds! its really hard, but i know the result will be so worth it. i have so much more energy and my attitude has improved so much! i dont want to lose weight to look better, i want to lose weight to feel better. and i have done both! so that is the most exciting part about my life right now. i still have not found a guy that i consider worth my time. i'm enjoying being single, but as i get older, i am more interested in the idea of finding someone to have a committed relationship with. but who knows.

 

yep- guess that's about it. sorry for all this crap you guys probably couldn't give two poops about!

take it easy

Hey KMII.

Nice to hear how things have been. I think its awesome how you've taken a new direction in life...I did the same two years ago and it was the best decision I ever made.

I don't post much anymore, but I'm on more often than I post.

[MrsBennington-Delson]

LPF has changed a lot... we got some pretty active members but still its kinda dead =/

Anyways I hope u'll be more often maybe the "old times" can come back

weee

[KillMeImIrish]

oh dude, clogz- totally got you on the whole 'best decision ever' thing. i completely agree! it's been pretty sweet. what kind of 'change' did you make? (if it's cool to share, if not- cool, too)

 

mbd, oh yeah? it looks pretty alive to me. i plan on coming back more than i have been.

[MrsBennington-Delson]

well it lived up a bit but it's not as alive as it used to be like 1-2 years ago lol x)

[KillMeImIrish]

yeah, those were the good days.. ahh

 

i reckon there is only so many topics a forum can hold, eh

Ha, well about two years ago I was working a crap job as a night guy at Taco Bell, making burritos for drunk people. Cruising around in the middle of the night with my high school friends, bumming around and going to parties and all that. I was in a horrible relationship. I was doing nothing with my life, jack squat.

 

At one point, after totaling my car in one of the scariest moments of my life, I started to pray about what God wanted me to do with my life. He told me to do something I swore I would never do - go to a 'Christian college'. But, I took it on a matter of faith and came to TUFW without even seeing it beforehand.

 

Best decision I ever made. My life has down a complete 180 in every category. These two years have been amazing, painful, but stunningly sincere and honest. Life has clicked for me in the last two years more than it ever did in the years that preceded it...and with a wedding, new job, new apartment, and new school all on the list for next year...well, I guess nostalgia won't live much longer.

 

Some things that have changed in the last two years for me.

I'm getting into incredible shape. Two years ago I weighed 240 lbs, and I could not walk a mile or benchpress 70 lbs. Now, I weigh 220 but at least 20 of that is muscle - I'm benching 140, with a goal of 200 by next May.

 

I ended a horrible relationship and took a break from dating for the first time in 3 years. Then I met a woman who changed my life forever. I knew her for only two days when I asked her out, but I knew she was the one (cheesy, eh?). We are getting married next June - I couldn't be happier.

 

I am graduating from (now closing) college with a degree in May...something everyone told me I would not do. But I did it. I'm going to keep going to school to snag my Bachelor's.

 

I have a good job as a DJ for a radio station. It has been an amazing experience to learn a trade I had never even thought of doing, and the whole experience has been totally rad. I love this job and hopefully I'll stay with it for a good long while.

 

So yea...there is my story.[:-}

wow. i am in awe. call me overemotional. call me girly. call me whatever you wish, but i just teared up! i love hearing stories of reformation. i sincerely say that i am happy for you. your life as of right now sounds amazing. yeah, times will be tough. but it really is ultimately worth it. i never believed in the whole 'its hard, but its worth it' thing. i do now. God has done incredible, unimaginable things in my life since i have let HIM take control, to the best of my ability. i have lost about 28 lbs since i've began focusing on God and changing my daily life. i have more energy, my attitude is better, i just see life in a different light. i don't feel like i'm wasting my days away anymore.

 

i, like you, went/am going back to a Christian school. and also like you, best decision i ever made. although i am not proud to say i relied on that to strengthen me in my walk with Christ, it has. i'm influenced pretty easily. so who i surround myself with kind of decide the way i talk and certain decisions. being at a Christian university, i have no other choice but to engulf myself in Christianity. i am uplifted. i am encouraged. i fall, and i'm helped back up. what Christian college did/do you attend?

 

it is the best feeling ever to know you are changing. changing for the better. changing for your God. changing for yourself. changing for life. i love it

Thanks for the words of encouragement. This is was my school: fw.taylor.edu | and still is until May. I wouldn't look to harshly on yourself for having to be at a Christian university to be a better Christian. It just shows you wanted to grow in rich soil, no shame in that!:clap:

[Friðbjörn]

wow, both kmii and clogz in a new thread...I wouldnt have expected that nowadays

 

 

with you lurking so much clogz its obviously more difficult to notice you

I wonder if any other oldies are lurking around...

[KillMeImIrish]

crazy, huh?

 

i didn't know Clogz was pretty absent now days, too

[Friðbjörn]

pretty much everyone from your "era" (sorry for the lack of a better word lol) is gone or absent or...dead, or something

lol

[KillMeImIrish]

wow, is it just me or are Americans the minority on LPF?

[Clogz]

I have taken to lurking, more often than not. I'm still around, I just don't really pop up in threads all that much.
