Yarael Poof has just realized that he hasn’t been on a banner except in spirit in the past two years. He’s now starting to wonder if people don’t like the look of him. Why is there this hatred of Poof? It makes Yarael Poof very sad. So be it. He’ll just sit in banner limbo, all alone, without any friends. So alone. So very, very alone and sad. But Yarael Poof is not bitter at all that he’s been reduced to a brief 'Yarael Poof says' line on every banner. No, not bitter at all, not him.

Date Posted: 7/7 6:03pm Subject: Predict Where You Will be In Ten Years Thread
With all the talk of ten years, I have decided to post a thread in which we will all predict where we will be ten years from now, and also predict whether or not the JC will still exist and if you will still be posting here. If by some miraculously ridiculous chance, somebody is here in ten years, and somehow remembered the existence of this thread, some future mod can up it and see if any predictions came true.


In 2018 I will be extremely elderly: 33.

I forsee several possibilities for myself.

1. I will be living in LA and, and have had at least moderate success in the realm of screenwriting. Enough that I don't have to have a secondary occupation to pay the bills. At the very least, by this point I will have on my own made an ultra low-budget indie feature or two. I will have a somewhat nice apartment. Possibly, I will have a pet of some sort...like a lizard, maybe. Or a fish. Also I would travel about to Europe whenever possible.

2. I will be a complete failure in all of my screenwriting and filmmaking endeavors, and I will be a bitter, depressed, possibly alcoholic mess working in some kind of miserable low paying job that I care nothing for. I might have a fish, but I will forget to feed it sometimes and I will feel guilty when it dies.

3. I will be some sort of crazy hipster nomad driving around the US in a used RV, writing when I can and working odd jobs to pay for gas and food, or selling nonsense on ebay.

4. I will be dead. You never know when you might kick the bucket. Anything can happen. Car accident, jump off a bridge, terrorist attack, California falling into the ocean, murder, attacked by a lion, fire, health problems...who knows.


As for the JC, I predict that the JC will probably exist in 2018. The live action television show will probably ensure that. The show might be over by then, so I predict that in 2018 the JCC might be kind of like it is now...maybe a little slower and maybe with fewer people though.

As for whether or not Andalite-Bandit will be here in 2018, I do not imagine this is likely. I have said many times recently I intend to leave the JCC, and yet here I am, but 10 years is seriously pushing it. I predict I will not outlast 2010 when it comes to JC membership. If for some reason I still exist on the JC in 2018 though I will admit my false prediction in this thread, and post a frown face.


Now you predict where you will be in 2018 and if the JC will exist and if you will still be here.


For the second part

A_B, Neo-Pilgrims prefer to convert their enemies after defeat. Though I suppose in some poetic or metaphorical sense, it is true that "the man you are now" will be gone.

I tell you this in all sincerity, I will shoot myself in the head and kill myself before I convert to Neo-Pilgrimism.

Everybody ignores the second part where you are supposed to predict if you will still post on the JC.

Maybe no one wants to admit they'll still be posting here.

I hope boards are around another 10 years. I would miss too many people otherwise. nerd blush

In 10 years... I will be 35. That is still pretty young. I hopefully will be heading towards my happily ever after. Wherever that takes me. happy

everyone will type random sentences together to make a story because they want to be a screen writer.
