No really. Time is going waaay fast. Is it just me, or does it feel like it was last week that I turned 23 and am about to run into 24 T_T
I feel like a real old dude. So who else has notice how actually old you are?
-
Yes. I turned 21 in April and time has been flying. Feels like yesterday it was spring. I've also been working 40 hours a week all summer for the first time, so I think that's a huge factor.
-
???
-
Yeah. I'm 21, turning 22 in a few days. I don't consider this old, but it's still crazy to remember something that happened when I was in high school that seems like it was just yesterday and then realize that it's been 4 or 5 years since then.
-
I'm 21 and also turning 22... tomorrow. Whoo...
I look back and... seriously, I've done nothing. I feel like such a failure...
*sigh*
Well, at least, I have the 5 days younger lady above me to support me in my failness.
I've felt like my near 22 years of nothing might be worth something, after all.
Yeah, I'm in a very good mood. Lack of sleep does that to me, some times. And lack of someone...
-
I'm turning 14 in exactly a month. Wasn't I 9 or 10 when I first started here or something? While I'm nowhere near as old as you elderly people, time has been flying by for the past couple of years for me.
-
Yeah yeah yeah. I can't believe you're only 14. Not because you don't act like it, but because it takes a lot of effort to remember what it was like to be 14. I was a shitty kid until the end of high school.
-
You wanna know how old you are? The Matrix didn't come out last decade, but the one before it!
-
xkcd rocks!
Uh, yeah. I feel old as hell, especially when I think about my (2 year old) nephew.
Or the fact that my best friend is a father.
Weird **** like that.
-
I've wasted over two years on this place.
Let's see if I can go for two more!
-

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
So I turned 17 about three weeks ago, and I'm about to turn 22 in a little over a month.
What the fuck.
-
In other words, time passes quickly.
I always thought, in the present, time goes by quite slowly... but when you look back, you see how quick it went.
-
Ah good, so it wasn't just me.
Yeah, the other there was some talk about high school within my coworkers, and I was like "yeah that was in 2004!" Then I was like, that was 6 years ago. When I was 16.
It's horrible. It's not like I am really age-conscious, but it's like, damn.
-
I'm 28. That's closer to 30 than 25, and MUCH closer than 20. I'm mildly successful economically (I have a stable, well-paying job and significant savings) but not much of a life. Part of my problem is that I see everything as temporary - high school was temporary, college was temporary, my first job was temporary. And every time one part ended, I moved to a different city. Recently I've been moving to different states - I lived in 3 different states in 2010. Even though I have no reason to believe I'm going to quit or get fired any time soon, I still can't shake this vibe that it's all temporary and I shouldn't bother putting down roots like getting a gilfriend or a house or anything major. It's strange. Maybe I'm a nomad at heart.
My nostalgia helps me cope with getting older, since things I love are ageless. I fired up an N64 emulator last weekend and played Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for a little bit - still love those games. I watch Jurassic Park and the Matrix DVDs instead of any movie made in the last couple years, let alone decade. I read, but my favorite author - Isaac Asimov - has been dead for almost twenty years and wrote his best books in the 50s.
Some part of me wonders if I'm not really growing up. The other part of me realizes that "growing up" isn't really a thing. Like xkcd once said; I'm an adult, and it's my turn to decide what being an adult means. And if it means reading sci fi and playing video games instead of drinking terrible american beers and watching football, well, that's what makes me feel okay about things.
-
It's okay beer is pretty much disgusting in general. Spirits are the best.
I feel like I'm slowly moving away from being a socially awkward layabout and actually doing something with my life, to a limited extent. I actually leave the house (gasp) most weekends now for parties and ****, and I've actually got off of my arse and started looking for work. The end of high school is rapidly approaching and I kind of need to be able to be a functioning human being for when I have to actually support myself. 18 in less than a year, and that's when I actually need to start being somewhat productive.
-

Shame!
Microbrews all the way. Bud, Coors, Corona, Keystone, Natty ice, Michelob... they all suck hard. Up where I live, we've got some awesome microbrews. Not just Sam Adams, though they've got some good beers, but local Vermont and Massachusetts beers that are to die for.
Yeah, I really like beer.
-

Someone understands. Too bad showing your post at work won't help people convince them of anything. Sadly this is the same reason why i don't like making any new friends. Trust issues aside, I always think know I am going to move on and forget people. Which I do; I was trying to remember my High school's teachers and college's instructors names and I got nothing. Some of the faces aren't even there anymore. That also might just be bad memory. But still. Nostalgia brings it all together.
-
Yes. yes it does. DeeeEEeeEerp////
-
If that's the case, then I guess I'm in the clear?
-
Drinking is not good.
It makes you post weird things.
It makes you post wierd things. I've never been drunk and decided to post wierd **** on charas. Then again why would I be on charas if I'm out drinking? You are clearly silly.
-
Yeah, being on Charas whilst intoxicated is a bad idea.
-

Yeah, I really like beer.
I'm told beer is an acquired taste but honestly I'd rather drink things that I can enjoy from the get go. Bourbon all the way. Hell, I'd choose straight vodka over beer.
-
God... Just the thought of bourbon makes me cringe.
-
Shame!

While I respect that you have your own tastes and preferences, I think that if you find spirits to be a more acceptable taste than beer, that's unusual. What kind of beers are you drinking? American "beers" are notoriously awful and the rest of the world is laughing at you, get some proper ale in you son.
Still, to each their own. I drink ale like frigging Gimli but vodka is like drinking fire.
-
Yeah, I've been meaning to take a look at actual beers, rather than the awful "Piss in a can" **** we have.
Going to have to wait a couple years, though, so I can actually go out to bars.

Uh, Australian beers are all I've drank. No idea where they stand in terms of quality. And yeah, Vodka is pretty awful until you have a few shots to get over the taste.
-
The only alcoholic beverages I can sort of tolerate are things like Piņa Colada, and even then, it needs to not taste alcohol at all.
Beer is the most disgusting thing I've ever drank, followed by wine and liqueur and other alcoholic beverages.
In other words, I hate the taste of alcohol. Good thing, though. This way you don't see me posting things on Charas while under the influence of something because I'd clearly have nothing better to do.
-
Remember: don't drink and post.
-
Luckily for you guys, I don't drink at all. If I did, you'd probably see madness on these boards...I'd probably get my *** banned for drunk posting. >.>
-
Yes, many things would happen to your *** while you're drunk.
-
*Ahem*
-
Don't worry. Your *** isn't safe either. I'm sure Archem would be more than happy to give you a little touchy-feely as well, if that makes you feel better.
-
Other illicit substances are pretty iffy as well.
:V

Would I!
-

Well, I haven't banned myself for it yet, so you're probably safe.
-
I wouldn't ban either, but I'd be the jerk who would lock the thread or delete persistent posts.
Would I!
Let's get drunk together!
I'd probably be sick before drunk due to the taste of piss, though.
-
Well, I haven't banned myself for it yet, so you're probably safe.
This is a good sign for me then. I have a feeling that this year I'm going to have a lot of this.
-
I'm almost 24.....but nobody believes me when I tell them my age.
I still get called "sweetheart" by strangers. The people at the dentist's office thought I was about 16 and asked if my mom or dad was there with me.
At this rate I'll probably get carded til I'm 45.
-
I was once told my younger brother looked older than me. He's 14 and I'm 21. Seriously.
Just because he's actually taller. LAME!
-
Same thing happened to me Val. I was at a job at 25 and people asked me if I was just out of high school >_>
Wait until you get an actual long-term career job though. The stress'll add those missing years onto your life real quick. I stopped getting carded a while ago because of it.
-
Maybe with luck, you'll have some grey hairs like me!
-
The funny thing is that growing up, everyone told me I looked older than I actually was. When the people at work found out that I was 22 as of yesterday, they were all like, "Really? I would have guessed 18 or 19, but not 22..."
I don't really think I look 18, but hey. I guess it beats being told that you look like you're in your 30's.
-
People consistently age me to be in my 20s.
I think it's the beard.
-

Basically the same thing here.
-

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
I've always been told I look older than what I am. Doesn't bother me as much as how old I know I am.
-
I'm 19. Somehow the tallest in my family at 5'10", except for some non-blood related cousins.
My grandpa aged extremely well despite WWII. My dad looks exactly the same as from pictures when I was born, not counting facial hair. I guess I have that to look forward to.
-
21 now. I've actually gotten to drink since I was 19. (Yay for UK!) I don't really feel old at all.
Blame the Armed Forces because they seem to through age out the window. I've had best friends who were 28 and folks who wanted nothing to do with me because they were 28. I've also joined out of high school so I know I'm not getting my preferred education. I read free college courses online it can get over my head. I'm also babysat a lot.
I should be out when I'm 24. I know it's not that old, but I think I'll still feel it.
-
People seem to think I'm near my 30s 40s. That's kind of bad. Had this thing I had to attend to one at city hall, and people kept asking me for directions or the cards that opened the doors.
