I just realized, I can divide my life into stages very neatly.

(1-10) Innocent Johnny

(10) Suicidal Johnny

(11) Bitter Johnny

(12-13) Johnny/Emo Johnny

Can anybody else do that?

I'm in a permenant stage of 'Jeez, life never stops getting harder, does it?' (0-present) :p

Cos firefox hates my laptop, and gabbly hates opera.

0-10 Child, ambitious but naive
11-13 The Invader Zim Phase, more acheivement, still naive, changes in clothing habits to wearing mostly black
14-present(16) The Phantom of the Opera period (which will probably last for much longer than the Invader Zim phase), even more acheivement, still naive, although not as naive as in the first two stages. Still wearing mostly black, although is beginning to conquer more fears and identify still more fears.

You have NSG friends now. They're much better, and much easier to dump when they annoy you.

That sounds like me. I took a year wondering what in God's name to do in the real world, then gave up and went back to uni. :p

I want to go back to uni. Just can't afford it. :(

:( I was lucky enough to get a scholarship, as there is no way I could have afforded it either otherwise.

I hate the way you get to the end of the academic process and you're just tossed out, with no help or advice as to what to do next. University Careers Centres are quite possibly the biggest waste of time on the planet.

Not as bad as Job Centres, though. Nor are they as soul-destroying.

they are 22 months apart to the day, but when you are nursing it should count as still a little pregnant, I mean my body was still working for the good of the kid, she was still attached, I still felt like crap most of the time........

Well, my life can sort-of be divided into sections:

0 - 12: Innocent Undershi

12 - 14: Undershi who was aware of the world's problems, but thought we could handle them.

14 - present: Depressed Undershi who believes Democracy has failed and that liberalism is doomed (but still considers self a liberal).

Guess which event occured when I was 14?

Bush's first or second election?

0-4 Crazy little ADHD Tribes
4-11 Cocky little bastard Tribes
11-17 Studious yet suburban-rebellious Tribes
17-present Alcoholic Tribes

Yeah.

Let's see:


0-2: Baby LNI

3-6: Normal, fun LNI with friends and future

7-8: Downhill slide beginning

8-12: Suicidal, friendless LNI

13-15: Friendless, bitter, angry, occasionally suicidal LNI

16: Depressed, Content with place in the world LNI

17: LNI with no future (according to his family)


It's mostly an inverse proportion between age and sense of self-worth, really :D

Bush's first or second election?

Oh, that was his second. The first time, I still had hope for the sanity of the human race... then I figured out we're all a bunch of idiots... or at least that the idiots can be suprisingly well organized...

0-8- idealic childhood mercenaries
9-11 optimistic mercenaries
11-14 began to dislike school but still loved life friends mercenaries
14-15 school is much more disliked but still have good friends and a good life mercenaries

So the first 15 years may not have been up to snuff but theyve been damn close :D .

0-14 Arrogant, stupid KSP
14-16 Pouser Anarchist (AKA Still arrogant and stupid)
16-Present Meh KSP

0-4 Slept alot.
4-9 Made some friends.
9-11 Started to consider myself smart and athletic.
11-14 Stoped thinking of myself of being special, trying to be just average.
14-16 Pretty apathetic, just going through the motions.
now(turning 17 soonish): Contemplation of my future.

Of course, if you ask me tomorrow, I'll answer completely differently.

I just realized, I can divide my life into stages very neatly.

(1-10) Innocent Johnny

(10) Suicidal Johnny

(11) Bitter Johnny

(12-13) Johnny/Emo Johnny

Can anybody else do that?

1-6 "The Dark Ages", a period of time of which I have completely forgotten, the memories of which exist solely in others, and I have yet to find any complete(or even partial) memories of this period.

6-8: Ignorant Bliss. Life was simple, life was effective. Life was happy.

8-12: Trial by divorce. My parents were divorced(For actually a few years before this), and my family, for many years, went through many hardships, both physical and emotional(Not sure if some have healed yet) due to a near 5 year long custody battle.

12-14 Age of Societal Embrace. Period of time in which I cared only to fit in and become accepted.

14-16: Age of Social Disagreement. Period of time in which I wished to "enlighten" the masses, and spread knowledge, in hopes of creating a "perfect" society.

16-18: Age of Optimism. Hopes and dreams filled my head, exagerrating points to absolute signifigance, and hoping the world would soon change for the better.

18-Present(20): Age of Reason/Pessimism. I have now realized the true ignorance and uncaring of the masses, and realize why the system must be so, much to my own dismay.

Hey, sounds all good to me. :p

1-13: Complete and total arrogant jackass who thought everyone else hated him because he was a genius.

13-15: A clinging, whiny type of person who was still somewhat of a jackass but a little more sensitive.

15-18: A steadily improving, but still jackassy type, who let himself be completely fooled by a false love.

18-19: Maturation into a true adult, with much more consideration, honesty, and respect for others. Actually makes friends.

19--: Currently still SLIGHTLY a jackass, but for the most part a really great person to be around, finally.

I'm probably being really stupid, but I looked up Pancake in my Luxembourgish-English/Englis-Luxembourgish dictionary, and it said it was some kind of an edible food, with stuff in it. Am I not catching onto some linguistic nuance here?

Darknovae made the unfortunate mistake in her early days of creating a poll that let us decide what she was: Male, female or pancake.

NSG, being the kind of place it was, declared her to be a pancake.

I voted pancake. Partly out of my desire to have a pretext to cover someone with maple syrup.

I do on occasion, but I so rarely have an excuse. :)

Yes, but mostly by accident. I didn't really get into intentional mischief until I was old enough to get a chemistry set. :)

oh come on. is marital status the only thing you ever think about?

Not as bad as Job Centres, though. Nor are they as soul-destroying.

Now this is true. If I have just one piece of advice to give you from my screwed up, mess of a 'gap year', it's whatever you do, don't get caught in the JobCentre system. You get sucked in, and it becomes harder and harder to break out. Seriously - any old crappy job will always be infinitly better than wasting away there.

Nah, I want a job I'll be happy in. I'd rather screw my life up waiting for a job that I like (and I've found a lot, just they've never wanted to employ me) than screw my life up by getting a job I hate. I keep getting told that I shouldn't be so picky...usually by people who are in jobs that they hate. :rolleyes:

Well, when I say crappy job I was thinking more of just general shopkeeping type stuff, bar work, waiting, etc. Something that will give you money, get you out the house and give you the freedom to still look for proper work.

The longer you're not doing anything, the harder it becomes to find something. That's what I meant by the 'JobCentre trap' - if you do get interviews, you're always on edge for that killer question: "so, what is it you've been doing for the last x months?"

The JobCentre is useless for people like us - it's not really designed for graduates. The people in them only know how to deal with people who are either a) wanting to do anything that pays minimum wage b) are never going to get a job and are just stringing the system along for their benefit 'pay'. You sound a lot like me from this time last year, and all I can say is honestly, don't get stuck in the rot.

Doing something will always be better for you in the long term than doing nothing, if for no other reason than the fact that employers will want to know you've not just been sitting around waiting for a job to come up - that shows that you potentially won't stick with anything that doesn't interest you.
