Tons of stuff has happened to me since joining last year. Don't feel like sharing the big things, though.
Minor things:
(1) Went for 5 days straight with near no sleep.
(2) Ate 8 plates of food in stupid eating contest bet with some buddies.
(3) Turned a lot more Asian "fobby".

What's changed:
I spent way too much on computers and other electronic devices.
I bought a new car.
Two vacations: Vienna and Stockholm.
Drove my new car into a van.
Became slightly more self-confident (a long way to go, still).
The severity of my IBS has improved.
Discovered Firefly/Serenity. Yay!
I now have a major goal in life that I want to achieve before I turn 40.
What hasn't changed:
My job still sucks.
No girlfriend (I'm really shocked about that, no, really, I am stunned).

Umm, so pretty much i'm still fat, single, and spend my life sitting in front of a computer. The system menu is just on the top of the screen now instead of the bottom, and my room doesn't feel like an oven.

Bought all this nifty gear to record some stuff.
Haven't accomplished a dang thing.
I've met some great people and hopefully
helped a few on the way.
Still can't type worth a damn.

Since joining I gave birth to my son who is quite seriously ill and mildly disabled. This completely changed my life since I cannot work full-time anymore and am staying home with my child for the most part -- but it's rewarding on a personal level.
I was still able to finish my Ph.D. and am grateful for that, and am now waiting for my son to get a little older and more independent so I can start working full-time again and finally fully take advantage of my education.
