The Ensign Returns

[Ensign Paris]

Hello Everybody,

I haven't posted for about 6 months, and as I have told some people I might I am back :) don't really know for how long but I just wanted to check back to see how things had changed and to see how everyone is.

My life has totally changed over the last few months, I have fallen in love, totally changed the map of my life and changed my hair style (but not in that order). I am as happy as I have ever been, even though at this very moment in time I am almost totally broke.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions about what I have been doing with myself (kind of like a soap opera :)) Let me know

For all the people thinking:
a) Who the heck is this guy?
or
b) Ensign Paris left? When did that happen?

If any of you didn't notice me leaving check out this URL:

... Nah, neither of those.

I was hoping Ensign Kim would show up instead, I liked him MUCH better than Paris.

[edit - On second thought, maybe I should have said welcome back instead.]

[szark]

Welcome back!

Just in time for all those MWSF rumors...

Maybe you just shouldnt post :o

[Ensign Paris]

thats the brilliance of the name, you see, I only got into Star Trek: Voyager when Paris was already a Field Lt. and I mixed my two favorite characters names together (Kim and Paris) to create Ensign Paris, only later on did I discover that Paris became Ensign Paris once again!

Actually, after watching the show for several years now I find that Captain Janeway is my favourite character, she is awesome

[wdlove]

Don't really know you yet, but welcome back Ensign Paris! :)

[MrMacMan]

Welcome back we have all missed you!

:stares form in my direction:
What? ;)
So are you like gonna post once a week or something or is this a full recovery?

[Ensign Paris]

It could one of three things:

a) A passive return - one to two posts a week
b) An active return - five or six posts a day
c) A temporary return - just for a few days

I would love to have the time to go for option b, but I guess it will be a cross between c and a.

Time is money my friend, actually, no, Time is Revision my friend! (I have major exams in a week :()

[Mr. Anderson]

Welcome back Ensign -

Saw you on iChat a while back and we were disconnected when my connection dropped for no particular reason - sorry about that. :(

So where's the pics!!!

D :D

[Ensign Paris]

Thanks to all you kind people :)

Pictures, hmm, how about no? :) Sorry, I would but I don't wanna put her at risk in anyway, she is to important, all you need to know is that she is the most beautiful woman in the world and nobody is more dear to me :o

See what you have done duke ;)! You have got me talking about her, and once I start that I find it VERY hard to stop talking about her! I would ring her but its like 10 past 2 in the morning at the moment :)

As for 'other' photos, I am just developing (as we speak!) some pictures of a concert I ran PA for at my school, it was an awesome night.

As I said, I don't want to put my girlfriend at any risk what so ever so I will just call her 'person x' for now :) Person X is extremely musically talented, she is a drummer, percussionist, plays flute / piano and guitar. She really is amazing, way out of my league! I am the luckiest guy in the world.

[King Cobra]

Will this thread move a little slower?

Ah, welcome back, man.

No pics?
Talk to Kfyter. I'm sure he wouldn't mind bringing up ******* again. :D

Glad to hear from you again. :cool:

[vniow]

Yeah, nobody deserved to see that.http://www.rx7club.com/forum/images/smilies/puke.gif

[Durandal7]

Welcome back Ensign! I sincerely hope that this is an active return. Did the MWSF rumors beckon you back? ;)

[chibianh]

How dare you return as an ensign?! I would have expected you made Lt by now.. tsk tsk.. i'm disappointed..

anyway, welcome back

[Ensign Paris]

well, i did actually become lt. but I accident called Captain Janeway - Kat and well, it didn't go down well, so I am back as Ensign. Oh well, thats life!

I really don't think the tub girl thing is something I would want to know about, scares me slightly.

I am soooo tired, really should go to bed, oh well, stuff that!

MWSF hasn't really brought me back, being bored of 24/7 revision has made me come back :) and now when I can't sleep because I am missing person X I can come talk 2 u guys :)

Ensign

[jefhatfield]

[GeeYouEye]

Welcome Back, Ensign Paris. If this is just a temporary return, at least stay for Macworld!

[irmongoose]

Congrats on the new gf man, gahh wish I had one. Won't be happening anytime soon though... not the way I am :rolleyes:

Anyways, hoep you stay for a while.

[mac15]

Welcome back dude, even though I see you on AIM all the time. Have a good new year and good times with your girlfriend.

[Ensign Paris]

Thanks for all the people welcomeing me back, its good to be back and lets hope for a fantastic MWSF!

Just so people know I am still under the NDA so I have to be very careful with what I say rumor wise.

Thanks for your time,
Ensign

[Stike]

Welcome back, Ensign! And.. you´ve fallen in love... ok, tell us, what is the name and configuration of the machine :D
A quad G4??? :D :D

I would definitely fall in love with that babe! ;) :D

[Ensign Paris]

Its amazing, she, apart from my doggie and I suppose my family :) is the only thing I would trade my Mac for, she makes me just that huge bit more happy :)

Ensign

[wdlove]

Ensign Paris, may I ask what is the NDA?

Congratulations on your new girlfriend, hope she makes you happy for a lifetime!
;)

Non-Discloser Agreement - Because I do work for a firm which is privy to Apple information, I had to sign a contract agreeing not to disclose any information about future products. it is similarish to this http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:aKgVlBWRwh8C:developer.apple.com/membership/pdf/terms.pdf+Non+Disclosure+Agreement+%2B+Apple&hl=en&ie=UTF-8.

Just before someone says 'How come you are broke and you have a job?' Its because I work voluntary :( If anyone wants to give me a job, let me know!

I hope I am with her for a life time, it will be great she is sooo right for me, and before someone starts flamin I am in love so it will be very hard for me not to flame back ;)

[rainman::|:|]

ensign,

[Ensign Paris]

Almost all of them are Voyager, 5 TNG and one TOS. I would love to keep them but I haven't actually watched Star Trek for months and I want to complete my Friends, Blackadder and Red Dwarf collections :)

I would just wait for all of Red Dwarf to come out on DVD if I were you. I plan on getting all of the American discs once they get released over here.

BTW, do you know if Blackadder is out on DVD yet? I especially liked the first season :D

[bousozoku]

Welcome back! :)

[OutThere]

hello! I've only been here for about 3 weeks so I'm sure that you don't know me, but I figured I'd say hey anyway!:cool:

[Ensign Paris]

All of Blackadder is now on DVD, I have series 1, and Blackadder: A Christmas Carol on DVD and Series 2, 3 and 4 on VHS.

I am waiting for the Red Dwarf DVD Box Set of every single one, for the moment I am buying Friends DVD Box sets.
