Eighteen to twenty-somethings, get back to work!

(drops the molotov bottle) Dang it... All ok up here?

Being 18 is no fun. Everybody acts like you don't have feelings and you shouldn't be allowed to cry or feel depressed about things anymore. And god forbid you mention anime.

It kinda sucked being a teenager but being 22 is awesome.

I haven't checked the covens in a while hello again.

I JUST TURNED 18 TODAY!!!

Welcome to the club. It all goes downhill from here

Been there, done that. Now it's a matter of turning 20 for me.

Which is not for a while, but still.

Also, I thought you were older than I am. O_O

Apparently I am a few months older then him. Although I already discovered that a few weeks ago.

What gave you the impression I was older?

I assume that with a lot of tropers. Just force of habit, really.

My beau is 29. In just under a year, he'll be 30. Then he won't be able to hang out here.

I mean, not that he has a TVT account anyway. But still... weird to think about it, when I'm 25.

I feel old around certain parts of the Yack Fest boards. But feel younger in other parts of this forum.

Kind of a odd feeling really...

I also recall a lot of people being somewhat surprised by my age after I revealed it.

I remember StarBee was quite surprised when I stated my height (5 ft 6 in).

I am generally over the whole "Oh my God, I've been out of high school long enough for two whole classes to graduate without ever meeting not only me, but each other" type of statistical play that makes you feel old when you're really not (the good old "Oh my God, [insert movie here] came out X years ago you guys"), but this site often makes me feel like a crusty old bastard. I could swear almost everybody on this site is younger than I think they are, with the exception of the ones who have actually told me. (And maybe a few very childish folks who are probably actually older than I think they are.)

But Sölip, you couldn't have possibly thought that I was in my twenties, could you?

I assume you're my age or slightly older. No more than 3...2. No younger than 22.

But surely you remember when I announced my membership to this coven when I turned eighteen, which was back in 2014.

Fuck man I don't memorize everyone's ages.

So you're 19/20? I wasn't far off.

Yeah, 19. My birthday is near the end of the year.

Being born in the early part of 1990 is nice because it means I never have to think too hard about how old I am. I just go "What year is it? It's 2015, so I'm 25." Usually. I mean like right now I'm 25 even though it's 2016, but for 2/3 of the year the trick works.

It was easier in the 90s because I only had one digit to worry about, now I have to add 10 to the year, but still.

Its nice for pretty much any 199x year. For me It was 94, so 6 plus 16 means I'll turn 22 this year.

On a similar note, I graduated from grade 12 in 2012. Thats less relevant but it makes for a fun icebreaker

People generally assume I am older then I actually am because of how I act on the interwebz.

People assume I am younger then I actually am because of my height in real life (I am 5'4) and the fact I have a more boyish face (even if I grow facial hair I still look youthfully which isn't really a bad thing I guess out side of people judging me)

I'm 20 and have sideburns. I think it's time I grow my beard out. (Started a few weeks ago.)

Big fight yesterday in the SolipBeauNate household. Feeling shitty about it. Could write a novel about it, but not sure if anyone would read it or have any thoughtful input. Which pretty much sums up my part in the fight overall, really; don't feel like my perspective is being valued or respected and as a result I tend to hold my tongue on things that bother me. I feel like if I do say anything about things that bother me, best case scenario is that it gets ignored or dismissed, worst case scenario is that I get belittled for being too sensitive and taking things personally. And then inevitably it builds up and spills over when something pushes me over the edge, and then I'm the bad guy.

Sigh.

I am nineteen years old physically, sixty mentally, and fourteen emotionally. At least that's how it feels a lot of the time.
