Hey hey DU

[Ava]

Long time no see! This year has been crazy so I haven't had many opportunities to pop in and say hello. Now that it's summer I have a little more free time, though not too much, which is a good thing! I just finished up freshman year at NYU and really love it here in the city. I'm staying over the summer to complete an editing internship that I started a couple weeks ago. How is everyone? Updates!

I'm good, just had good news on a repeat mammogram (a false positive!) and am getting published too!

Sounds like you're thriving in NYC, and I'm so glad!

13. You're all grow-up now and you don't need your DU friends...

:cry:

;)

Hope all is going brilliantly! :hi:

[Ava]

32. not sure about being all grown-up

after all, college is for making a fool of yourself (at times) right? ;)

[Fire Walk With Me]

44. If so, when do I get to finally graduate (from that)?

;) :hug:

[Ava]

45. if you're lucky, never

;)

[mulsh]

14. AVA! it's always good to see your posts

I'm glad you're thriving in New York. Be sure to spend some valuable time goofing off this summer.

[Ava]

33. will do!

and thanks :D

[blue neen]

15. It's so good to hear from you.

I have been wondering where you have been! :) Congratulations on a successful freshman year! :)

[Ava]

34. thanks!

freshman year went so fast.. i loved every minute of it!

[derby378]

16. Howdy, Ava! But I have bad news...

My beloved wife, Ginny (ChickMagic on DU) passed away on May 12. We were married a little over 10 years.

We've already had the funeral, and I delivered the eulogy, but now I'm trying to tie up all the loose ends and get on with my own life, but it's still a long road ahead. I miss her terribly.

[Ava]

21. i'm sorry to hear about your loss

:( :hug:

[femmocrat]

18. Great to hear from you, Ava!

How exciting-- summer in NYC! Thanks for keeping in touch. :hug:

[Ava]

35. i'm really excited about summer in the city

so far it's been great!

[jobycom]

19. Great Googly Moogly!!

Welcome back, o Bama Brat in the Big City!!!

[Ava]

36. i'm somewhat losing my accent

of course, my friend from queens and upstate would disagree greatly with me ;)

[MrScorpio]

20. Wow, I was just thinking about you today

Good to see you!

[Ava]

37. good to see you too!

[rurallib]

22. We are expecting

our daughter to have her baby around the summer solstice.
I was wondering if school might take time from your posing.
Any smarter?

[Ava]

38. that's excellent.. congratulations!

smarter? i'd like to think so ;)

[MilesColtrane]

23. You haven't dropped out and become a performance artist or started a punk band yet?

Sheesh....kids today with their commitment to higher education!

[Ava]

39. not yet, that's sophomore year

my generation is always behind :P

[Odin2005]

24. AVA!!!

:D :hug:

[Ava]

40. how've you been?

:hi: :pals:

[Odin2005]

42. Very good! It's het a HOT spring up here in Fargo!

Went to see the actual Dead Sea Scrolls at the Minnesota Science Center in St. Paul a few weeks ago, very cool!. :)

[Ava]

43. cool!

it's been warm here the past few days, but the good kind of warm. today was perfect weather for a walk so a friend and i walked through central park. tonight several of us are going to a large lightsaber fight in one of the city parks, lol!

[Odin2005]

53. it's 95F out here and it's not even June, yet!

The average high at this time of year is the low 70s here.

Oh well, at least it's a dry heat.

[KamaAina]

54. You like her, too?!

Oh, for crying out loud.... :shrug:

[Odin2005]

57. Isn't she a little young for you?

:rofl:

[KamaAina]

58. Well, technically, yes...

but with very special people (like Ava :loveya: ) that can be finessed. Remember, All-Time Favorite Human Being is only 29.

[struggle4progress]

25. I've been scanning movie ads all year for your block bluster!

:)

But I forgot what you were going to call it
:(

So you gotta help me out here
:blush:

All I can remember is something like Mutant Republicans with Chainsaws on Elm Street
:shrug:

[Ava]

27. night of the living dead: tea party edition

:P

[TK421]

26. I've never heard of you....welcome to DU!

just kidding! how the hell have you been? :hi:

[Ava]

41. thanks newbie

:P

I've been excellent! Super happy in the city.. I'm determined now more than ever that I wasn't meant to be an Alabamian ;)
It's been great! Great school, great professors, great classes, great friends, a great guy, etc etc

How about you?

[TK421]

47. meh...still looking for work, but I'm managing alright

[Call Me Wesley]

46. Good to see you!

And glad to hear it's all going well. Still using analog still cameras? ;)

[Ava]

48. i alternate between my digital and my analog

i'm a fan of both ;)

when i went to brazil i used my digital though.. wanted to be able to get fast shots and look at them as i traveled. ;)

good to see you too!

[Call Me Wesley]

49. I still have my F2 equipment, although I haven't used it for a long time.

Do you develop the negatives/prints yourself?

[Ava]

51. i did once

but otherwise i'm too busy/lazy (more the latter probably)

[Capn Sunshine]

50. yay

one of my favorite young padawans!
Let's see your latest movie! :hi:

[Ava]

52. no movies

but i do have a recent audio only project that it did... a play on GO ARMY advertisements: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBZOBS1g3E

[Wapsie B]

55. Well I hope you have something to show for your first year @ NYU.

By this time you should be familiar with the best beer & pizza joints within easy stumbling distance of campus, the dorms and frat houses with the wildest parties. You know, the important stuff.


:P

[Ava]

56. no comment
