I went as far as checking lockers for it. It couldn't have left the lunch room on its own, unless it learned to open the fridge, walk to the door, and open that too.

I'm turning 20 soon and..
and...
*looks at age stereotypes and other age-related worries*
...I don't feel any different.
Cursed age stereotypes putting trivial and useless worry on me. -_-
^{On the plus side this forwards an ideal I've held for a long time...thanks elders for that

Watch out for that quarter-life crisis Tiruin.

[Tawa]

Watch out for that quarter-life crisis Tiruin.

Ha! I remember the days when my life had a definite end and I still used terms relating to life percentage.

Immortality FTW

[Tiruin]

Watch out for that quarter-life crisis Tiruin.

Which is...?

[TD1]

They call it....marriage.

*Shudders*

[Tiruin]

Ah.
...
Don't expect to be in that state until after college, at least :v

[Greiger]

Yep soon the alien overlords will come and abduct you from your home and implant your brain with feelings of responsibility and the desire to settle down and have a family with little miniature demonic and destructive abominations.

Do what I did.  Move to your mom's basement.  They can't find you there.

[Frumple]

Avoid it forever, T. Forever. Long term relationship is good. Ceremony is fine. Keep it out of the courts. Marriage is the devil. At least if it's anything like it is in the states, for your area.

Or at least talk to a lawyer, first. Hash out the legal side of it before anything else. All that stuff. And maybe avoid it still, then. If you want a legal partnership, write up one specific to your needs. Safer, less headaches, all around better. Also more honest -- keeps legal entanglements separate from emotional ones, et al.

I'm...pretty much sure that whatever worries that exist are less...um, less extreme in my side of the globe (if and unless unexpected happenings occur, which won't happen with me anyways :v)

...Courts? o_o

Ah, that must be what I did wrong; I'm on the second level.

Though I don't have any desire to have "little miniature demonic and destructive abominations", unless you count cats, but they're not really abominations.

[Tiruin]

OH
You meant babies! XD
Well on that note I'm stuck with my niece for about a month or so. 2 years old. Really intelligent and pretty much cute and adorable :3
...They aren't that bad :v You can teach them well and raise them good and they'll be angels \o/

^{Yes, I've an age gap between me and my siblings, to stop any assumptions along the way :V}

At least in the states, marriage constitutes a pretty extreme legal entanglement between the individuals in question, with all sorts of boilerplate and automatic legal consequences involving all sorts of things -- from wills, to taxes, to insurance, to property ownership, and more. And all that something that a great number of people getting married pay absolutely no attention to and subsequently get bit in the hindquarters to varying, but often extreme, degrees.

I've seen a fair number of relationships and people honestly kinda' ruined because they walked through a major legal decision without really knowing what they were doing. S'one of the reasons that, at least for state-side folks, I would absolute and emphatically recommend never even considering marriage without a serious and in-depth conversation with a lawyer, if ever. Public ceremony or whatnot is fine (public declaration of commitment, whatever), long term relationship is grand and joyful and etc. -- the legal side of things is something entirely different and is a commitment that is pretty tremendously huge and often both unnecessary and outright detrimental for the relationship in question. Avoid like the legal plague it is.

Spoiler: I'm on a train. This just came through the train's intercom. (click to show/hide)

"Fruit, hot coffee, sandwiches drinks, it's all here at the café car. My name is Moses, I'm your cafe specialist down here. Come down for a snack, a drink, or if you just want to chat and slowly unravel the secrets of the universe.

Also, it's worth noting that I'm mixing my specialty Amtrak 'Coast Starlight' cocktail, which has had rave reviews from our staff, our passengers. It's also the Captain's favorite -- well, when he isn't captain-ing, of course. It's not like he's drinking while he's- oh, nevermind.

So, have a good trip with us, folks. Again, I'm Moses in the café car. Welcome aboard."

~

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Moses speaking. I am not a robot, I'm a real human being with real human feelings. When you don't come down to the café car, it hurts my feelings a bit. A lot a bit. I'll now have to go internalize my feelings the only way I know how.

*pause*

I'm closing the cafe car down.

I'm going to go take a break in ten minutes. I'm going head up stairs, do some jumping jacks, and relax on the beach. Not sure when I'll be back. I'll have to deal with these abandonment issues... all the neglect...

10 minutes! Starting now!"

~

"The café car is open. You can choose to come in, or not. Either way, the world as we know it will continue to turn."

~

I walk into the cafe car and turn the corner.
Moses is there. He asks:
Mo: "Have you ever milked a cow?"
Me: "No."
"That's a shame. Have you ever watched vampire diaries?"
"No. Have you ever ran nude through a Latvian thunderstorm?"
"No. I've never been to Latvia."
"Well, I don't have cows or a TV."
"... touché."

I shit you not.

XD

That should be in the happy thread.
