there were a lot of precious things I experienced here and elsewhere, so it's very dear to me! I'm forever thankful and grateful to have been together with all of you close to me!
Haha by myself I still feel like a noob but when I see the changing face of nuf with newer members and the ones I had been with missing, I too feel a kind of insecurity like an "oldie" lol
I mean it's similar for real life too! As time passes, the location stays standing, even though many people have moved on and new unfamiliar faces have filled the corridors! But the location is meaningful and powerful and nostalgic!
@Nyann Oh, I thought it was RL age too. XD Also I don't think there's anything wrong with talking about "old" stuff? At worst there'll be inside jokes you won't get but on the bright side you can ask people and use it as a conversation starter. I think I milked the 'newbie who doesn't know anything' chance before to sneak myself into convos lmao
@yuzuki My coworker who joined the team at the same time as I did just told me recently that our project was full of 'new faces'. I couldn't quite tell him that I was only able to memorize faces and names after a year so I wasn't able to tell... ;;;;;;; I think that as long as some 'key' people remain in a place/group, the atmosphere won't change much. (Or maybe it's just me and how oblivious I am?? orz)
@Nyann Lurking is the best! *hi5s* It's not as much fun when there's some time pressure to read everything and write a comment asap tho... *gets long-ass game threads flashbacks*
I originally meant that when I click around and see 18 or 20 or 21, I think back to when I was that age and how it was full of precious memories for me online and still in uni! These days I'm a bit too busy to be that frivolous, but the memories are still precious! And also it's fine to interpret it whichever way it means something to you!
@Nyann 25 when compared to 30s is quite young, but not when compared to teenagers? When I was younger I considered 20-somethings as real adults who already have their lives together. Like...at 25 you should already have a stable job, some savings, and a clear goal about your future.
Mm now I don't think so... Maybe yeah a 25 year old may be more experienced than me but I won't always idealise them to be more mature and responsible...
Oh well haha there are many talks I won't understand in depth though. Nor would I find much interest ^^;
I'm almost getting an urge to write a blog from this. XD I agree with you that 25 isn't old, objectively speaking! But I think the transition periods in life can sometimes feel like quite something! Becoming an adult ("adulting") comes more easily or difficultly to certain people, and the change in pace at those shifts in life can really cause you to occasionally pause and reflect how much things have changed!
@yuzuki Your blogs are always so inspiring and nice to read. I often feel the urge to comment something but end up just liking them, but I hope you feel the cyber hugs and kudos I telepathically send your way anyway! I really do wish I can express my thoughts and feelings the way you do someday. >w<
@Nyann That's kinda scary but at the same time I feel envious! The guilt when you remember more about fictional characters than real people...orz It's like 90% of my brain cells are full of random story stuff and there's so little left to even reliably recall my best friend's birthday...
Haha I only remember a few people's birthday though ^^")7
Yup I know lurkers are scary to me too *shudders* for example yuzu chan... ^^")7 not "scary" but just astonishing at times... Idk if she lurks or not either though...
@Nyann L-lurkers aren't scary at all tho..?! N-not all of us anyway... Some of us are just your friendly and shy shadows who watch over everyone with kind eyes a̶n̶d̶ ̶p̶o̶p̶c̶o̶r̶n̶.
Rather than lurk, I think Yuzunyan is the type to use another identity to approach somebody to get them to spill their secrets and nefarious world domination plans...For friendship and science, of course! Definitely not to use the knowledge in our own plans, nuh-uh!
Well, it's kinda funny to look back on what I was doing back when I was at 16-20 and what I'm doing now with life... Things surely changed a lot in those last few years.
Entering the "adult world" kinda forces us to mature to some extent... Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but...
Well, I think I remember much more impactful and meaningful experiences from a few years ago than I remember from what I go through nowadays... It's a different type of life I guess.
Much better! <(￣︶￣)> =3 *pats Reapyon on the head and awards with cookie*
@Nyann Oh...hohoho~ How embarrassing for you to see that~ *covers mouth delicately while laughing* Our house just has a mischievous child, nothing else...
