Introduce yourself here! October 2015

New month means new introduce yourself here!!!

 

This is a place to say hello and tell us a bit about yourself. 


We have this tradition where we ask you 5 questions every month.

Pretty much everyone jumps in and answers the questions for themselves, not just our new peeps, which is pretty awesome i reckon. 

 

 

Questions for this month are:

 

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently? 🙂 

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? 😛

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here?

Hey @Poison1999 and welcome to RO! What do you play? Sport or an instrument?
Which is your favourite Doctor? I don't watch it personally but I've heard that people have favourites.

We're a great bunch here on RO, what kind of things do you need advice for? You can make a new thread in one of the subforums and then it'll be seen and we'll be able to help.

See you around!

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently?

I would have to say food is my hobby! I'm a feeder, I love healthy wholesome foods I believe that eating well is so important to feeling amazing! Actually I have the week off work so I've been cooking up a storm this week, making my infamous veggie loaf today Heart 

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work? What kind of sickness did you say you had? 

I have taken a couple of "mental health days" in the past, I believe it's important to recognise when you need a break and take time for yourself! I love using these days as a chance to get some sunshine and maybe go for a nice jog, for me getting my heart rate up and getting some sun is so refreshing but everyone is different it's about finding what works for you! 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

I would love to go forward in time to see where I'll be in 10 years, I'm the type of person that googles how a movie will finish before it ends so id love to know what the future holds for me! 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple?

My Freo hoodie! I love afl and would marry Nat Fyfe in a heartbeat, there's just something about fit men that gets me haha

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here?
Just support and encouragement, a listening ear if anyone needs!

I was SO SURE I had answered this but I must have dreamt about it or something.

 

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently? Smiley Happy 

 I'm slowly getting back into writing - I started doing research for an article I plan to send to an up-and-coming publication a friend of mine is an editor of

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? Smiley Tongue

 LOL of course I have! I always use food poisoning - it happens fairly quickly, you don't have to pretend to cough/sneeze/sound like you are dying, and no-one wants you to come into work when they hear about it

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

 Probably back to around 400-500 BCE in Ancient India so I can meet the Buddha. Mostly because I am a Buddhist and I have a million questions to ask, and why not ask from the source?

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

 A plastic Chinese takeaway box full of origami stars

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

I'm excited about the new GR format, and I'm excited to see what people's responses are to the questions and to each other. I'd want to give back support and hugs for everyone on the forums - you guys are a super cool bunch

Hi everyone, super excited to have joined the ReachOut forums!

 

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently? Smiley Happy

I love to sing, but in the last 18 months or so I've been developing my passion for makeup. I find creating different looks and trying different techniques to be really relaxing and great "me time" (even when I'm doing someone else's makeup), although it's not a very sustainable hobby when you're a poor student! Smiley Tongue

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? Smiley Tongue

I honestly can't remember the last time I did, but I think I might have said I had a headache/migraine.

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

Ooh Doctor Who reference, I love it! I would love to go back to experience Woodstock.

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

My nails!

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know the forums, and becoming more involved. I'm super excited to learn more and expand my own worldview by hearing about other people's perspectives.

I'd love to help out by providing support and listening to others, and contributing more to the discussion!

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently?

I love food and get especially excited at the notion of vegetables! A bit odd, I know, but mushrooms on toast might be my choice for last ever meal, and could probably ease even the worst of international tensions.  I also enjoy being outside and anything that involves moving, and I really like running. 

Yesterday I had tomatoes on toast (we were out of mushrooms) and it was so good!

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? 

Not really, but in school I would have the occassional 'mental health day' (which could have been more aptly named "stay in bed and ignore the haters" day)

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

I want to have a sit down and a cup of tea (and maybe break bread) with Jesus.  Want to know what he was all about!

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

My sprint spikes are purple!

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

I'd like to keep learning about the new members, see some awesome and thought provoking new threads, and join in a Getting Real session.  Giving back? Hmmm probably just keep and listening and trying to provide support where I can.

Peace!

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently?

Knitting! In the past few months Ive made a few scarfs, a phone cover, two beanies and a coffee cup (although I drink tea) cosy. Right now I am making a very braidy cowl.

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? 

I am sure I have but I cannot remember when or what excuse I made... I know I have done it from parties recently, although often I am legitamately too tired, Ive probably exagerated a bit - I think I need to get in on the slooooowwww GR session on atm!

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

I would want to sit on the hill while they were filming The Sound of Music and watch them singing... Doe a dear, a female dear...

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

The couch I am sitting on!

 

5) What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

Ahh there are only a few days left! I would like to get to know everyone and how the forum works (Im finding navigating everything a little overwhelming!). I would like to give back my excitement of being welcomed into the community by showing everyone how grateful I am.

@stonepixiesprint spikes are special running shoes with metal spikes on the bottom for track running. Am I right? @tsnyder

haha yeah that's right @j95, that being said, I'd definitely sign up for some spirit spikes @stonepixie, whatever they may be!

How're you going @j95

Hello, I'm stealth_ninja. My friends call me ninj #swag

 

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently? Smiley Happy 

Why yes! I'm a dancer which is a super great way to exercise and get endorphins to the brain.

 

Endorphins

 

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had? Smiley Tongue

 

Ummm i'm trying to think but I dont think I have. Sometimes I'm feeling crap and just need a chill out day so I may exaggerate by saying I have a migraine or nausea but I've never done it to go to something cool like a festival or the beach. #lame

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

I would love to have been able to see a michael jackson concert when he was in his prime. I think it would have been the concert of a lifetime. Also the John Mayer Where is the light tour. That was his prime. 

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

A beanie. I love beanies. Why don't they make beanies for summer, they shape my face really well and i can tie my hair in a messy bun and no-one will ever know!

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

I would love to get some insight into how everyone else feels when they're doing life. Sometimes life is so hard to do. It helps when you know you're not alone. I think thats why I'm here and also what I want to get in return. To be a part of something bigger than me.

Shout out to @j95 for having a ripper of a grand final! That's awesome man, and we all know how hard you've been training too, that's so sick!

 

Also, @Stealth_ninja, haha sweet gif, I'm super jealous of your dancing prowess... I too enjoy dancing, but I am so far below average! And also, welcome to reachout! Life sometimes can be hard to do, so this is a really good place to find and give support! Hopefully we'll get to hear from you around the forums!

Questions for this month are:

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently? 


Favourite hobbies would definitely include going skateboarding along the beach (living near the coast does have its perks). I also go down for a swim nearly everyday during summer and im learning to surf again at the the moment so just trying out some new things especially now that the weather is getting so much better. 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work? What kind of sickness did you say you had? 

 

I did a couple of times and i used the old 'i had a 24hr bug' im quite lucky i was never caught out on that one 😉 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

 

Im a bit of a history buff at heart so definitely would be going back to when the pyramids in Egypt were being built and although their was a lot of poverty and confronting issues during that time i still think that it would be amazing to see them in the process. I went to Egypt when i was 17 and it turned me into the biggest history buff. 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple?


I have a purple covered notepad that i use for work other then that i dont have to much around me 🙂

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here?

One thing i would like to get out of this is forum is to take in as much knowledge as i can from everyone else. I know their are a lot of different people out their with very different upbringings and its always interesting to see what other people have to offer on different topics even if mine opinion is completely different to anothers.

 Hi guys! Very excited to join the ReachOut community!!! Smiley Very Happy

 

1) Do you have a hobby? What is it? Tell us about a thing you made or did recently?

One of my hobbies is playing music (piano, singing, or guitar), but most recently I've been learning guitar and I can now play the song Last Hope by Paramore!

 

2) Have you ever chucked a sicky from work?  What kind of sickness did you say you had?

I think I did a while ago but I'm not sure. I probably would have just said I had a bad cold. But I hate lying so generally no lol. 

 

3) If you had a TARDIS or a way to go anywhere in time or space. What event or thing would you want to witness or be a part of?

I must admit I had to look up what a TARDIS was haha. If I could go anywhere in space and time I would love to see a future where the entire human race had finally made peace with one another. Or if not that maybe something a little easier like when gay marriage is legalised in Australia? 

 

4) What is the closest thing to you that's coloured purple? 

My earphones!!! 

 

5)What's one thing you would like to get out of our little online community this month? What's one thing you would like to give back to the other people here? 

One thing I would like to get out of the ReachOut online community is getting a better understanding of the different perspectives people have on different topics. I think it's good to see how people deal with things differently and what works for them, and whether that is something which is likely to work for other people. 

One thing I would like to give back is simply connecting with others and if need be offering support where I can.

Exactly that!  Isn't it great to have a place like this for young people and teens.. I have always enjoyed observing others' behaviours and try to work out their different perspectives, motivations, etc. Not always an exact science!

 

Re your commennt about seeing what works for one and seeing whether it works for others: With a friend I have recently  been helpng with making some helpful guides for disabled people in the community - just in one aspect  of it - and the challenge sure was to see the use of doing that because it had to be applicable to MOST  people. Anyway I love supporting others' initiatives so am always happy to read about it and recommend .

 

In all honesty, I am motivated by a desire to connect to others, and it's kinda my life blood - but honestly love and need my private times and relaxing pursuits. Over the past few years I've decided to nurture my  passion to connect more meaningfully (W.I.P.), to really enjoy my life, be grateful for what i have and who i meet, to love and live with earnestness each day, to be honest and sincere (even sincerely wrong at times lol) and to respect myself and also challenge myself every day.

 

Sitting here getting into the day a little early, preparing for Sunshine Coast Road Trip - So so gratful for the little people in my life, and the big ones who care for me and laugh with me and love me. You guys make this journey the fulfilling adventure it is. Heart

@evanescence First of all can I just say what an awesome username you have Smiley Wink I reckon we'll be getting some new tunes from them soon enough! 

 

Second, I think that's such a wonderful outlook to have on life @evanescence. Connecting with others and being honest in what we say and who we are is very important, and it's good to hear that this is something you actively practice. Do you feel like it is not always easy to do? I feel like sometimes if we're not in the mood or maybe just having a bad day it can be extremely difficult to connect with others, but once we pick ourselves back up it feels great!

 

BTW- Enjoy your trip!!! So jealous Smiley Tongue
