I know! so many calgarians! isn't that awesome

Selection10 · 10-14-2009, 03:03 PM

Sooo guys, what days do you have free to go to the movies? What time would be best? I'm thinking October 22, 23, 24, 29, or 30 around 6:00-7:00 (but depends when the movie starts)?

Any specific movie requests?

saillias · 10-14-2009, 05:10 PM

Of the bold ones, I'm interested in Inglourious Basterds
Invention of Lying, The

and as my guilty pleasure movies:The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Trailer Park Boys Countdown To Liquor Day

Thursdays through Sundays all work for me as well. The closest theatres to me are Empire Theatres in Shawnessy and the one at Chinook Mall, but I assume we probably live all over the city and will choose a central location downtown.

OmFg, More ppl in Calgary!!! woot. I'm at the U of C, AND i'm down AND No Robert, you are not too old! I'm excited, I mean the interwebs is cool and all, but real people?... With faces?!.....

Anyways, I'm free MWF 1:00-2:00 saillias

My faves on the list are Inglorious Basturds and Law Abiding Citizen

Little Willow, Which prof is the one you're talking about? is it Boyce?

Oh you're all so........ geoproximal!!

are there any calgarians here closer to my age, like late 20's to early 30's? I'd like to do a meetup but i think i'm a little too old for most of you guys.

I don't think you are too old at all!

But if you are really interested in meeting people in their 30's there is another social anxiety group in Calgary that meets monthly and does various activities and I know for sure there are more people closer to your age there. Send me a PM if interested and I'll send you a scanned copy of their info/handout I got from my counselor & you can give them a call. If anyone else is interested feel free to send me a PM as well....

Yeah Robert, you might want to check out the peer options program on the Alberta Mental Health Association's web site. Might be more what your looking for

5tk · 10-15-2009, 10:12 AM

Hey, since we're at the UofC, isn't there those free movie nights on.. Monday? Or is it Wednesday?

Gen Eric · 10-15-2009, 11:35 AM

I believe it's Mondays if I'm not mistaken

Little Willow · 10-15-2009, 11:49 AM

Gen Eric: although I do know Boyce (and loved the class) I know another prof who is also my psych. She is only an interim prof though. But I bet she could still help us out!!
This is exciting! Yay!

Gen Eric · 10-15-2009, 12:03 PM

Yeah Boyce is the greatest. SA awareness hey. I dunno if I could do that, kinda used to trying to pretend my way out of it. Flaunting it openly would be... Ulcer-inducing. Maybe if we set up a poster and left lol. What all did you have in mind?

saillias · 10-15-2009, 03:31 PM

LETS DO THIS!!!

All fellow U of C students, tomorrow at MacEwan hall, 1 PM, who's in?!

And how about the movie? Inglourious Basterds seems to be a consensus pick. Eau Claire Market is probably the most central theatre in the city, and it has a Saturday matinee at 2:30.

Little Willow · 10-15-2009, 06:02 PM

Alright, Saillias. I'll try to make it. I'm supposed to be somewhere at 12, but that may be cancelled. Let's say 1 at the information centre in Mac Hall. Who else is in?!?!?!

bk · 10-15-2009, 06:19 PM

I'm not, but I am available for a movie next week on friday, saturday, and sunday. And also thursday evening.

5tk · 10-15-2009, 08:02 PM

I can't make it tomorrow, because I have a midterm to write in the afternoon. Lame.

5tk · 10-16-2009, 07:19 AM

Oh, fyi the Calgary Depression Meetup Group is meeting next Thursday.
http://www.meetup.com/CalgaryDepress...ndar/11638759/

Is anyone a part of this group? I have never been to a meeting.

saillias · 10-16-2009, 08:32 AM

Just to confirm, I'll be around the info center at 1:00 today. I'm a 5'8" white male, and I'll wearing a black hoodie with a fur-lined hood. I'll find a seat if I can, and wait about 5-10 minutes to see if Little Willow and anyone else shows up.

Also 5tk I'm a part of it but I've never went to a meeting. It seems their main concern is depression, and I'm not depressed.

Little Willow · 10-16-2009, 09:12 AM

Looks like I'm not able to show up today. I'm in Mac Hall right now in case anyone is reading this, but I've got a practicum meeting starting at noon and going all afternoon. Hope we can do this another day!!

saillias · 10-16-2009, 01:16 PM

I went, looked around a bit, left.

There was one guy of a nervous looking disposition who I made eye contact with but he ran off haha.
