This last one did something....primal to me.

So, a stuck up prig and all around a$$hole? I love Darcy, I really do.

 

In all seriousness, these are actually the reasons why I despise Fitzwilliam Darcy! The guy's replaced his spine with the stick up his arse, but unlike Garrus is not going to take it out and beat anyone to death with it, because that'd make him lose the crown as "The most dullest man in the history of fiction (that women are still inexplicably attracted too)"...

 

I think that Buffy is the best explanation for why Pride and Prejudice never got a sequel, because everyone knows that in book 2, Spike would have shown up, been awesome and proved how utterly dull Angel Darcy was...

I was being a tad sarcastic. Lol, my point was that you shouldn't need to sacrifice that spark of being a child as you become an adult.

Obviously I haven't entirely grown up, my kids swear I had kids so I could justify playing still. Kids get to play, adults have alcohol and sex. Finding a state where you can enjoy the best of both is ideal.

Eluvianus Rex...

 

For me...age 27 - the most amazing year of my life.  I fell in love (real, deep, passionate, soul-shattering love) for the first time.  I looked the best, felt the best, really knew who I was and what I wanted and what it meant to be alive. I was on fire!! 
 

So, at 20...I have a feeling the best is yet to come for you!! 

 

Gah...I sound so...old...ugg!!! 

I know. I have my whole life ahead of me. But only at college has it really sunk in for me that the possibilities are truly endless.

I was going to do the thing where you quote all the posts that you want to like but can't because you're out of likes, but then I'd make a super long post just full of quotes. So LIKE! LIKES FOR EVERYONE!

...so, Cullen should be able to swim right? On account of living in a tower in the middle of a lake for quite some time. And then a city right by the ocean. So... what do you guys think are the chances of us getting a  Darcy-esque scene with Cullen coming out of the water after a swim...? 

 

Errrr... How to say it... They did say that the mages throw lots of weird things into Lake Calenhad, so I hope that he didn't swim there... But well, Haven's pool might be cleaner (& colder).

I was really happy with my paycheck, until I realize the tolls it takes to live with a mask permanently, at workplace at least.

"We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes..."

Agreed.  Cullen should smirk/smile more often. 

[Tishina]

Lol, I got a big enough scholarship ensuring I have no loans.

That's the best way to do it!

I agree. A happy balance between the child and adult is best. I'm still young though, so I have a lot more of the child going for me at the moment lol.

"We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes..."

 

"With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, and mouth with myriad subtleties."

 

And I hate all part of it. ALL.

 

Damn, I hate growing up and be an adult. Because everytime I speak my mind, someone will remind me that I must not think like that...

[Tishina]

I want some of this to still be there:

Oh, especially that last one! For some reason it puts me in mind of R2s story involving melted chocolate...

Does this story involve licking molten chocolate poured into naked skin...?

Ya I had that last one as my cellphone wallpaper for all of two days and then I had to change it, because every time I looked at it I would have a case of hot flashes and cold sweats in public, and trying to dodge questions of why my cellphone was making me flustered got awkward real fast. That one needs to come a Not Safe For Life warning.

[Tishina]

Youth and I long parted ways, technically, but I've managed to enjoy my life at every age (though obviously there have been events I could have done without). I plan to, as they say, slide into the grave with a wine glass in one hand, a grin on my face, and laughing "what a ride!" (I may have paraphrased )

[CuriousArtemis]

Lol, I got a big enough scholarship ensuring I have no loans.

 

I did, too, and a paid assistantship for my Master's. Then again for my doctorate....... for just four years. Then they let me renew that for a fifth. Then they said, you're on your own, beotch Then came the loan  

 

But not a lot. Still, I hate having to pay 100 dollars a month, knowing only about 60 of it is going towards the loan.

[Boudicae]

That was what I thought at first. First time I feel old is when I get my first job ever. The transition from being student living with roommates & friends to Corporate Life is like... being thrown in a cage full of coyotes. I was really happy with my paycheck, until I realize the tolls it takes to live with a mask permanently, at workplace at least.

Yeah, I took a pretty decent pay cut at my workplace just so I could move to a department that didn't make me want to cry before every shift, and it has been totally worth it.

I love that slide into the grave quote. Exactly how I want to go out! My Great Aunt went to Vegas regularly to gamble at 93.

Now, telling you the details would spoil the tension of the story. R2, if you're still reading, you probably have the link handier than I do?

Ugh, don't tell my husband that.

Team YOLO! I've threatened to start driving a motor scooter when I'm in my 70s.

That woman was razor sharp, even until the end. And yeah, my dad's a bit older, so he wants to get motor scooter with a University of Louisville flag he can attach to it lol.

LOL Oh! Somehow I missed these. 

 

Um, ask and ye shall receive. Sex and Chocolate by Varric Tethras. (kinda NSFW)

A quick true story regarding the whole age thing.

 

I teach undergrads, age range from 20-25ish.  Trying to motivate and inspire them is rough. In class today, I asked them what adventures they had on Halloween.  My question was met with dead silence and shrugs. A few said they studied. On HALLOWEEN!  I was flabbergasted!  What about...

 

 

I teach science, so I gotta reel in the drama.  But damn, it's hard sometimes.  They need to take a breath from studying and...seize the friggen day!!!

 

I am kinda a bad influence, I think.  But I never worked that hard in my 20's.  And I got a million stories to show for it!  And i wouldn't trade it for any amount of success.

 

Ok...no more preaching...
