I find this all very strange... is tumblr cool now?

I don't know...see this one time I got pissed at them for all being on tumblr and then talking about it, then when I came in they'd be all hush hush don't talk about tumblr to non-tumblees. So me being the stalkery person I am I found all their tumblrs and was like yeah **** you. They were angry because apparently it was like their 'alterego' or something, mainly it was an excuse to exclude people. So I'm a little worried they'll search me, Its a very old email address though. :P

Aah fair enough, what would they be doing here anyway?

I might, I'm always afraid one of my friends remembers my old email and will track me down one day :P
I've no credit card though, unless I want to make the big expedition to get a 3v card (thats the main thing I'm looking forward to about being 18, getting an o2 card so I can finally buy things online!)

Can you subscribe for just one month to change your username or do you have to do the whole year?

I am so sick of golf. I know mcilroy is great but my dad has been watching it forever and I'm so sick of it!

So for five euro I get to change my name to McIlroy and annoy the crap out of you? Oh it's just so tempting...

You're not planning on changing your name though are you? It's one of my favourites here!

Just one month is fine if you want to change your username, in fact that's what most people who want a name change do.

Thanks for the advice everyone. It's so confusing 'cause sixteen's always been my maximum limit (and even then I wasn't sure sure if that was old enough). She's sixteen soon enough but I dunno if that actually makes a different or if I'm just trying to rationalise it. Ugh, I'll just have to think about it long and hard I guess. And as some of you have pointed out there's the whole legal thing...

Ooh banana! Tread carefully, like really, really carefully. But good luck anyway, I've been the younger half of one of those relationships and it didn't work because she was too immature, so I won't load you with assumptions based on this girls age, obviously the age gap isn't a problem in that way if you got on so well before you knew it existed. But legally, and socially - bold!

Ha. One word, Banana - niiiiiiiiiiiiice. :cool:

However. I had a thing with a 19-20 year old when I was about 15, and even though I'm now 26 and they're 30, and that's grand, I still can't stop thinking of them as being far older than me still.

oh i see.

Gotta say, I agree that age differences shouldn't matter too much, but do you remember how much you changed between 15 and 19?! You're at two completely different stages in your life - I don't think this is a good idea.
Also, yeah, the underage thing..

I'd really, really think about this a LOT banananananana.

what age are you killer banana?
15 she is! :eek:
oh you're 19.
age gaps like that matter in your teens. she is underage for a start and a child. i couldn't understand what a 19yr old and a 15yr old would have in common anyway.
its way different in your late 20's and upwards i think. you can have a substantial age gap and it does not matter. obviously for legal reasons also.

Sometimes I feel like Mr Herbert off Family Guy :P I don't know...the difference between 19 and 15 is much bigger than the one between 19 and 23. :S

Ah well I'll just have to see how it goes. she does seem mature for her age. If it doesn't work it doesn't work and if it does it does. Dear God I need state the obvious quite a lot. It's like the time I walked into the cold room in work and though 'God it's cold in here'.

Did she lie to you or was it just a misunderstanding? If its the latter you might as well give it a go for a little while. I'm permanently overestimating peoples age and then there's the horrible holy **** they just turned 15 moment :S

Well first it was a misunderstanding. Then she said she was sixteen (which she will be soon). I was annoyed first but after talking to her a bit more I can tell she was just really afraid I'd stop talking to her if I knew her real age. also she told me she fifteen like an hour later so it's not like she kept me going for ages.

Haha same

Four years. It's not too big a gap but I originally thought there was only a one year gap so I was just caught off guard really. I'm being a hypocrite really 'cause if she were fours years older than ,e I wouldn't be bothered at all.

We could always do our own I'd do it for the craic.

I would love to but I odn't know if I'd actually have the time to organise one right now.

I'd say it takes a lot of work.

Oh ffs. I finally find someone I'm interested in who likes me back and it turns out she's younger than I thought. I'm still gonna go for it 'cause age isn't really a big deal for me and it's stupid to throw something away over something so minor but still, nothing can ever go smoothly, can it? If the person in question happens to be on boards, seriously it's not an issue. It's just my love life always end up getting stupidly complicated somehow.

Well yesterday I received the first pre-release review of my novel from an actual real-life reviewer. I was expecting the worst possible reaction but it was actually alright :eek: Four years ago when I was a suicidal, nervous wreck I never thought I'd be here. It really does get better. I'm unemployed, single, relatively broke, mostly friendless and hysterically cynical but right now I'm on top of the world.

That was really well done, loved it.

I've always wanted to take part in a flash mob. Don't suppose there's one for Galway pride?

I'd do it for the craic.
