    Getting healthy?

    I went to a new doctor today and was told that me being really competitive and driven actually works to make me sicker. Ha.
    tell that to dan!
    It's specifically with regards to Crohn's though.

    EDIT: Basically my personality makes inflammation worse.

    I doubt your doctor was the first person to tell you that your personality is a pain in the ass

    Hopefully a new job or a new position within 3 months. Followed by hopefully spending at least 2-3 months overseas in asia somewhere. The exciting part is I dont really know where.

    Being a dual UK/Aus citizen is great. Easier access through the EU (not that it's very hard to begin with really) is a real winner. Being able to go through the short line at Gatwick/Heathrow makes that passport worth twice it's weight in gold

    help a fellow forumer meet their mental health care needs because USA healthcare sucks!

    I am very confident that 2012 is going to be a good year.

    I'm giving my life here in Brisbane about a month to 6 weeks to convince me to stay, and believe me I'm going to be working hard to let it

    but if it doesn't, I'm gonna get my shit in order and move to Vancouver for a year.

    I actually feel great about it! it's given me a real goal and deadlines and things to work on and a clear direction.

    It's really not that big a deal. If you give enough oral sex you're bound to do it by accident.

    it's really not that much dirtier than the genitals.

    Haha, this is the main benefit I am looking forward to!

    Well, not for me, because a) my greencard is as good and quick as a US passport for entry purposes, and b) the US government does a fine job of grilling its own citizens anyway (whereas last time I went to the UK I didn't actually speak to anyone - it was 5 seconds of passing through an automated gate! But I am looking forward to dual citizenship for my daughter, as it'll be so easy to take her through the UK.

    Because it's not a huge life change, I still want to officially live in the same city as my family and I could not fathom leaving for good to miss out on my nephews growing up.

    If I enjoy it enough and get by on my own without much trouble, I might move to Melbourne or Sydney or something when I get back to Aus.

    to be fair that's less a city's job and more an individual's job

    but to some extent being in a city that is populated with high-achievers, world-travelers and ambitious people can help, too

    I just don't know that a city can be devoid of those kinds of people

    My home town

    Well, it's a town by English definitions, but it has 120,000 inhabitants so it counts as a city elsewhere

    it sucks the soul out of you, it really does. It is a black hole of dreams and ambitions

    Some cities are just more alive

    I just recently (two days ago, actually) started taking walks at night. I've been wanting to be a bit more active and maybe even work out some and so while I can't run or jog I can walk and so I've been doing that. Only about 30 minute walks but that's quite a lot for someone who isn't used to it! I'm really enjoying it too, something about how quiet it is in this town at night and just having time to think is nice.

    edit: damn Janson, that definition of town is quite a bit different than mine. I think we have about 3,000 people in my town.

    Then the best of luck to you!

    Also I agree that not many people are ready to marry that young

    But I think @Moriveth will tell you himself that he is not the most ambitious person, and has never had any real desire to date or travel or experience some of the things most other young people wish to experience

    His dad is the same way, and he and Mori's mother have been married over 25 years now, and are a perfect couple!
