Talk to your future self (AKA: Time Capsule '07)

[TDG]

Here's how it works. You leave a message here, and forget about it.

Every few days for the rest of July, I'll come along and make all the posts bar this one vanish (Just like magic!). At the end of July, I'll make the whole thread disappear.

Come July '08, I'll make the thread reappear (just like magic!) and we all look back and remember that time we posted on it and go "I remember posting on that thread", and then we begin the Time Capsule '08.

A few rules:
- This isn't a discussion thread, don't reply to other people's statements - just post and forget
- Everybody is allowed one post each (excluding this one), so make it count (or don't, y'know, either one is good)
- Just like magic!

In 2008, I will look back at this post, feel quite stupid for not leaving a bit of advice to my surely inner-tortured 07-08 self, wonder why I predicted myself as inner-tortured, realize it was because it's a general state of life for myself, and twice as a result of this thread have the epiphany that life basically phails, and wonder why I spelled fails as phails, then wonder why I was listening to a song I don't really like (an event I'll be aware of because I've recorded it here) and listen to whatever amazing and awesome song I'm now introduced to (probably by DM, who has the most annoying and treacherous habit of introducing me to good musicians, and I'm forced to spend money on them, even though that won't be a problem in a year since most likely I'll have a job, and even though it's a terrible place to do so, I'm going to end this parenthetical) and just end this sentence with a poorly placed set of ellipses...

Unless TDG forgets to revive the thread or something silly like that.

So...I guess I've left school by now? I hope I took alot of pictures that year. And I hope I worked like stink - if I'm worried about GCSE results then the only reason I could possibly have is that I didn't revise. Did I revise, future self? As much as a possibly could? Then don't stress I wonder what college courses I chose in the end, and whether it's Shrewsbury Sixth Form or Yale. Am I even still alive? Is all of my family still alive? What about my friends - who are you going to stay in touch with? I bet you looked just great for the Prom. Final performance should be over and done with, too...I bet that was full of stress! Hope Sarah didn't knock any trees over And I do hope you pushed certain people off a cliff during the 2008 ski trip. Never forget the titan of the tidal waves with the dead cat coat and the CD Burner!

Have a nice day, future self. And smile. Smile like you mean it (woo oo oo oo...)

[Mongrel]

I hope everything's going well with school, and that the whole working thing didn't screw up your GPA because you don't know how to prioritize--hey, I know you. I AM you.
I hope you auditioned for that play. Whether you got in or not(and I'm betting not), it's not failure to audition and not make it in.
Did you go on to "the big school" yet? I hope you did. It's time to get out of the sandbox and move on. Fear is the only thing holding you back now.
Where do things stand with your friends now? I hope you haven't lost any old friends, and maybe you've even made a few new ones.

Woo going to Iran in 2 days, so if you've forgotten about it then don't! My bowels are quite irritable, so let's hope that resolves itself for you. I'm quite optimistic about my AS results, so if they're bad... ahh they won't be, will they?

Yeah can't be bothered to write any more - I hope I'm not this lazy in a year.. :/

Oh and TDG sucks at making posts disappear.

Maybe.

In 2007, after looking at this post; I will feel old. The world will be ruled by apes, and we will commute to work/school using jet packs

[Zilary]

How was your first year in college? Exciting, eh? I hope you're even more inspired to pursue your dream career.

I hope you are still involved with camps back in your hometown. You promised you'll go every year you can and this should be your first official year as counselor at Dcamp!!

Relationship-wise, do you remember who you were fretting over last year? Is your heart still into him or have you found someone new? Did you move on as any human naturally would or did you cling on to your old emotions as you vowed yourself? If you did move on, who did you pursue? Or did someone pursue you for once? And how is he? I hope he appreciates you and treats you right. You probably learned to stop dating jerks and start going after the nice guys so they don't finish last after all.

I hope you're still content with your life...or even multitudes happier.

Hello, Me in 08.

How was Grade 10? I bet it's not nearly as hard as everybody says it is. I bet you'll have great fun taking cooking after school, regardless of what everyone says. I hope I get to do the cover of our school yearbook! I hope working in the Yearbook class will be a fun activity and I hope I contributed a lot towards it.

In other news. Right now, I am just a smidgen shy of 180cms tall. I wonder how tall I will be in a year?

In graphic mumbo-jumbo. In most places I'm still inter. I wonder what I will be in a year? It seems smudge is the craze right now. C4Ds are pretty popular. Wonder what the new thing will be in a year, as these trends move quickly!

Hey, TOSO! It's funny, you're about to go to college (if you got into a good one). Good luck with that. You also know how the final Harry Potter book turns out, you lucky son of a gun. Well, I can't think of anything left to type, so have a good day.

[Wind]

Hiya, me. I really hope I'll remember to check back in a years' time, hopefully not at some crazy time like 2am. After all, I should have finished my first year at uni so I should have more sense.
How does it feel like, not being a teenager any more? Hopefully it's not too bad
How is the post-Potter world? Got over the shock already? Hopefully nobody important has died, but still... Well, I'll find out in a few days, you've already found out last year.
I hope A Dance With Dragons has come out at last, too. Did you get to read it? And do you still have that pile of books on your bedtable? I hope not!
Well, let's talk about serious things. How was my... er, your first year without latin? Bet is was better than the last, at any rate
I'll stop now, though it would be fun to do this thing backward, you know, make a post that'll appear 1 year in the past. Pity it's kind of physically impossible.

Hello future me!

The thing i'm most annoyed abotu right now is an overdue library book. It was the bible. Isn't that ironic. I hope you learnt something from that. Other than that, its all quite peachy. Happy 18th btw, and I hope you managed to knuckle down. I'll assume you did, because then I probably will.

Oh and btw, TOSO is right, you are a lucky sun of a gun. Hope HP is good!

I think Harry Potter lives, he is after all the boy who lived, and snape and the big V die. Just so I know i was right when I am.

Yours sincerley

You.

Hi me! Tom and Kyotoa said hi, if you remember them.

So, I'm hoping I'm still playing my Animal Crossing game. If you've seen the movie by now, then yay! You've furfilled one of your life goals! If you saw it in Japan somehow, then you've furfilled 2 goals in one! Good for me! If it hasn't been translated and send to America by now, then save up for that trip to Japan. And now you're going to High School, so say hi to Dorys! Oh, and I'd like to take time to dance. *Dance* I'm done. So, remember to stay in touch with your friends. Sooooo.... I'm done. I can stop reading now. And anyone else who is reading my letter to me can stop too.

[Kitten Medli]

Hi, myself. You're 16 now I guess. Freakin oldie. I'd wish you happy birthday but that would be stupid because I know you hate getting older. Are you wanting a car now? I hope not, because you have lost all sense of your being. Get a bike instead. Make sure to be eco friendly. I also must say, if you want a boyfriend by now, snap out of it and get a life, you immature teenie. I hope you're still posting on Digimon Spirit and still friends with all the people you love. If you aren't I hate you more than anything. I'm sure you're still a crazy vegan. If you aren't I hate you more than before. Hopefully you've improved in graphics, drawing and AMV making. I hope you've improved yourself in other areas as well. If not, well, you royally suck. Use your voice, as mother says.

PS. Quit saying freakin. Its unbecoming.

Hi Future Me!!!

I'd like to say that i hope you've found a cure to cancer, but as i know the realistic-ness of science i know not to expect that! I hope at least that you blasted through your confirmation and managed to transfer to a PhD. I also hope that you managed to get a scholarship so you aren't as poor as I am now!!

I wonder if you are still climbing - and if you are what grades you're climbing. I'm currently climbing around about 13-15's, but i finished my first 17 last week! I havent gone on an outdoors trip yet either, so if you have (which I hope you have) I'm super jealous!!!

I wonder if you still have Archie or if he's gone to laptop heaven. I hope you still have archie - he's a great laptop! Also, are you still cycling in everyday? Shame on you future Rachel if you aren't!! Where are you living future Rach? At the moment i've just moved into the May Dunn flat and i'm still amazed at the walk in wardrobe, although i'm having some ant problems...

Well i think i'm out of things to say! I hope you are really good, and even happier with your life than i am now!

Love From
Me (July 2007 Rachel)
