I guess.

a day is like a second to me now

In 2000, I graduated high school (they made SUCH a huge deal about us being the Class of 2000, but it turned out to be just another year). Since then, I've:

-seen most of the movies I'd only heard of at that time
-developed an appreciation for jazz and certain pop songs
-attended (somewhat against my will) a college party full of underage drinkers
-cracked my car's bumper in a snowstorm
-made out with a somewhat overweight black girl
-had shrimp egg rolls become one of my favorite foods
-come to realize I'll always love video games after an 8 year hiatus
-performed onstage on two instruments at once
-intentionally tried to get a contact high from hanging around stoners
-all but fallen in love with a girl whom, on paper, I shouldn't feel the way I do about
-spent well over $2500 in musical gear and only held onto less than half of it
-nearly gotten a ticket for speeding in a construction zone
-been summoned for jury duty twice and the second time around I got out early because a fire started in the building
-had me and my family evicted from two places
-had my sister come out as a lesbian

If someone had told me I'd do most of those things (with the possible exception of the college party) 10 years ago, I'd think they were crazy.

I would answer the question posed in the op, but I'd hate to make people jealous of My Awesome Life(tm).

My teachers kept telling me in ten years I would probably be a hopeless heroin addict (they didn't know much about crack at the time), so. I think I should track them down and ask them "am I doing what you thought I'd be doing, cunt?"

They all thought I would be successful at something and not addicted to drugs go figure:)

Yeah, I know. It gets so fucking depressing.
Life used to be so exciting, each day seemed do eventful.
Now when people ask how old I am I have to do the math.
Now when I see a christmas tree I think FUCK wasn't christmas like, a few months ago?

Maybe you will in 10 years time.

LOL (literally)

hmm, good call. I'll let you know on November 18th, 2020.

HAHAHA I know that is exactly how I feel. I remember the excitement of Christmas now I really don't care it comes so fast. I forget how old I am all the time. Nothing changes anymore. It is like I am just observing my existance.

I still like Christmas, but I think a lot of other stuff sucks.

It gets worse. It goes like
"X died"
"who's X?"
"your cousin, don't you remember him?"
"mmm. i think so"

Why can't I rep you for this?

I am doing absolutely nothing remotely to what I wanted to do ten years ago. I'm not in new york instead I live in a middle class gated community, while attending college. I also never thought i would partied so hard as I did.

Hey, what's funny about that? I had gotten so engrossed in music that I felt video games were part of my past, something I'd outgrown...

I also thought I'd outgrown heavy metal 3 years ago, but that's no longer the case, either.

This is disgusting. Glice being younger than me. It really is. I'm depressed now. That fucking old cunt.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to knox again.

I cant spread my love today!!!! Well I just found out that I am going home because I have alot of money waiting in the mail box. Unexpected money:) So maybe my next 10 years will be better we will see.


I will write at yall lata:):):)

@ GeneticKiss

I went through the exact same phase (not for 8 years though...sheesh). So it's funny to me in a "THEY ALWAYS COME BACK" sorta sense.

I thought, "Why the fuck am I putting so much time, money, and effort towards things that aren't even real?"

I sold so many gems. I didn't want anything to do with gaming. Now, I'm fucking obsessed again! I'm clueless as to what made me think I could outrun my consistent craving for escapism.

I didn't play videogames from 2002-2007.

I worded it ambiguously. I'm still older than you. I'm 28. And hence I'm your ideal father/ crush figure.
