Ooo... good luck, Nivvy! It's scary to move at any time, but to move to a larger city is especially stressful!

Thanks Jeannesha ^^

Ohhh yes I am honestly looking forward to the day where I own my own house >.<;; and settling down. I used to think when I was younger that living at the same place for ages sucked, and I wanted to move - but now... wow. LOL. I just want to stop packing my things xD;; I think this will be move number 3 for us in the last year and a half @[email protected];;

Thanks so much for the luck - I'm definitely gonna need it xD;;

Yea, when you're younger it's easier to move. The older you get, the more "stuff" you accumulate. Right now we're retired, and we've talked about moving, but the mere thought of trying to pack everything up is so daunting, that we're just not even looking for a new place.

Totally know what you mean, Jean. Moving is such a pain in the ass. I've moved and helped people move more than a few times and it's just really draining. Not only packing all your stuff up and transferring it somewhere else. But then having to unpack and assign new places for everything.

... Blah. I hate moving.

Ugh, I'm currently on slower internet, so I can't chat too much. D: </3 At least I have internet at home though. >.<;;

*waves to everyone*

My room is almost done! :3 Just need to have my sheer curtains cut and hanged, and then I'm done with my room construction! :'D <3<3 My brother's doing his, and the family room is, well... umm... yeah, long story there. xDD;;

Construction almost done! >.<;;
I want it done already so I can go back to normal life. D: </3

Thats good to know nae. Is the rainy season over or?

@ Chi : It's actually been pretty sunny over here. xDD;; Well, not really SUNNY sunny, but sunnier than it should be. :3 <3<3 Over there, I bet it's real sunny now, lulz. xDD;;

Yay on getting construction done, Ry!

We're talking about doing something with our 20 year old house.
Problem is, every single room needs something done desperately, and we can only afford to do one room a year.

It's trying to figure out where to start that keeps us immobile....frozen and afraid to do anything.

Yup Howdy....all that stuff. lol, I think we still have a few boxes unpacked from when we moved here to Austin - over 20 years ago!

wow jean you have me beat....I still have things packed from 5 years ago.

@ Jean : Thanks! :3 <3<3 And aww! :< You can perhaps start at the room you use the most? Or a communal room. That's where we started. =) <3<3

@ Cora : Lolz, I discovered stuff from when I was a baby around 15+ years ago. XDD;; Interesting, because I vaguely remember some, while others I have no idea about. ^^;;

@Jean: O good luck in choosing a room to do, that sounds like a difficult choice.
Woah, maybe you could just give those unpacked boxes away since you shouldn't need them if you lived 20 years without them. xD

@Rylynne: It must be awesome to find stuff you used as a child!!! I can't say I have found stuff from when I was a baby but I have found stuff from when I was around 6-9 years old.

I've found stuff that I wrote years ago...I recognize my handwriting, but I have no memory of writing it or anything about it!

I found a box of notes me and my friends passed around in middle school....it is really funny to read what we thought was sosooo important back then xP

@Jean: O, it must be interesting (in a good way I hope) to read them over again.

@Cora: Lolol that would make for a funny read. My little sister likes to talk to me about her problems with her friends and I constantly think to myself how those things actually don't matter at all. xD

That's kind of the way you can tell from posts approximately how old a person is.
Usually the type of grammar used, the importance given to things, gives them away.

I have to admit to being surprised a few times.
I can't remember which site, but I was conversing with a person, who I would have *sworn* was middle-aged, just from the way she wrote.

Then in one note she said that she was a freshman in high school.
My first thought was that she should be going for a literary degree.

@ Minnie Mouse : Yeah, talk about nostalgia hitting you hard. xDD;; It was fun looking through my old stuff. :3 I'm sure you have some though that are older than your 6-9 year old toys! =O <3<3

@ Jean : Really? =O Was it a diary or something? I myself found old drawings I only vaguely remember doing. >.>;;

@ Cora : LOLZ, I found something similar as well! xDD;; Also our so-called "Freedom Papers" that we passed around in class where all of us wrote the most random things ever. XP

@Jean: Yup that is true. I don't think I can pinpoint a person's age too well though. Obviously, I can tell when a person isn't even in highschool because elementary school children type very 'immaturely'. Although I don't think I can tell the difference between someone in grade 11-12 and someone in first year university.

Wow she wrote well above her age then! I hope she did pursue a degree in literature then. It is very difficult to talk in a well-educated manner.

I pretty much only know enough grammar to get me by in day to day life. xD

lol some people sock me, I met someone once who was only 13 who I would have placed at older then me.

@Nae - ahh well that's good to hear :). Yes, but it's also been pretty breezy aswell, so it's a nice mixture. *nods*

You all sound very mature to me....

lol, Ry...I did find an old diary once from when I was 14 or 15.
I had been taking shorthand in school (why on earth I took that I have no idea).
So most of the "good" stuff was written in shorthand, which of course I now no longer remember.

Cora is 22 Jean, if that helps xP

...and Cora still sometimes speaks in 3rd person, does she?

(lol....I think we've been through this before)

Whoa, grats on the V-Day Belt, Rylynne! :heart:
Lookin' good, as I've mentioned elsewhere. ;)

On the topic of age... :O!
I've always gotten along a lot better with my supposed 'elders'; normally anyone 30+, and we're great chums!
Kinda sucks, though, since I'm only seventeen and should be pestering people my own age... But really, I hate people my age! I'd rather live in a nursing home and poo in a diaper. :( At least there I'll be able to play shuffleboard and do the hokey pokey!

I tend to hang out a lot with my aunts and my mother. We'll go to the movies together, talk candidly as if we're all the same age (lawls), etc., etc. Also, the majority of my cyber friends are quite older than me. D:

Teenagers suck. Why do they exist?

lol yup quite often xP

Good question, Facade....
Why *do* you exist?

(Hey....you said you were 17, which makes you a teen....
...I'm just sayin.....)

Really, though....it's good that you get along so well with us cantankerous old farts.
