It's actually older than I2, it's the place where everyone regrouped after the wreck of I-not-squared.
God, it's been so long since all that happened.  I feel old.   :zombiefuck:

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I rather thought it would be. Thanks.

Yeah no kidding. It's kind of frightening.

Good god, 'raxis, we're getting old.

Bigger question:  Are we grown up yet?

I am.  :(

It's actually been bugging me a lot. The whole family thing. The career thing too. Yay angst.

What about you?

Well not entirely. I'm Wendy. I live with Peter Pan. I'm never gonna lose the wanderlust and the taste for adventure. Just got to kick off the latest round of bills and bullshit.

It's still a little trippy, but yeah, I think we can say I'm a grown-up at this point.  Not all my friends my age or even a little older are.  Hell, not even most.  Career is.... actually OK, right now, I think.  If I haven't started actually making enough to actively save (over and above my 403b, which I'm loading up as much as I'm allowed), I'm close, anyway (I'll evaluate that when I do my taxes). I like my job- so much it's almost scary, really.  I've no desire to breed, so I feel little biological pressure to hurry up on anything I don't have in place now.  I do wish I had a partner, but I feel like the ability to function without one is grown-up in and of itself.

I think I'm also coming to acceptance that there's not much in the way of "real adults" out there.  There's some people who have knowledge that I don't posses and can access, but everyone isn't smarter and more experienced than me, even if I feel more insecure than they seem to be (and often that's either bravado or stupidity, not well-founded confidence).  Still freaks me out a bit, but I'm not always mourning it.

Long post- was thinking about this earlier today.

I wish I liked my job that much. It would make things a lot better.

I'm still kind of baffled by the concept that some people feel like they can't manage without a partner.

Never had trouble saving money.

Never had trouble saving money.
My starting salary was what made saving money difficult- it was frighteningly low.  As far as money management itself goes I'm starting to suspect I'm actually not half-bad; not a financial guru, but good enough that I don't think I've shot myself in the foot yet, anyway.  The problem originally was one of trying to guess what the best of several bad options was likely to be, setting a deadline to when I would re-evaluate, and meantime making sure I could still survive.  I *may* have actually guessed correctly; at any rate now is when I would be re-evaluating if I hadn't already made some progress in earnings.

  I'm sorry it is being taken down, even though I was seldom there.  :(

 :agreed:

I have not been online much at all, anywhere, in over a year.

At least I know why I can not find it, now.

Wrong planet? He posts there
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
