Exactly. Still feels like I'm meant to be in 1996. This just isn't right. Years are meant to be long. I'm still meant to be a kid, not turning 20 in a couple of months. I should be a rock star by now. Etc., etc.

Nevermind guys, I'm not leaving yet. 
Speaking of great timing, I was getting my stuff, phone rings. Mom asking me if she has to go get groceries since she finished schoolwork already. I told her I was wondering wether to get it since she didn't leave me money or a list. Now we're going together when she returns home.

Oh god, all the things I meant to accomplish by now and haven't. It's really disappointing.
And I don't feel like an adult, you know? I don't feel much different to ... ever. I thought I should by now. But god, how times move on. This is utterly stupid and awkward, but back in the good old days (I say tinged with sarcasm), Kate and I spoke about getting married in 2010. We were meant to be Older then, Adults.
Now I'm older and going nowhere.

Probably the most to the point post/unnecessarily reacted post I've ever made. I think you, Barenjager.

... oh, that officially makes me more of a hardcore ancient history buff than you a geology buff.
Thanks.
Yeah, it's not so much that, I like the celebrations, even though I'm an atheist. It's more to do with the passing of another year.
I think it's cool to be so interested in something that isn't shoes or gossip.
Yeah, fair enough.

It feels like the 10 years since I was 20 have gone by in a flash. I think before then they went at a more normal pace... although once things get in my memory, the laws of time and space do not apply, so who knows?
I know I hoped for more for when I was 30, when I was 20. In a vague, non-specific sort of way, which is probably why I'm in the non-place I am now.
Bleh. I was going, wasn't I.

Holy shit! This big fucking spider was just walking over papers on my desk, completely out of nowhere. I put him outside, but what the hell? What's a big spider doing on my computer desk?
you know what i wish? i wish there was a way you could tell, before you went to see a doctor, how much you'd be paying out of pocket. my insurance's website is useless. i can see who's on my plan and where they're located, but no cost estimators, despite what the website says.
before i go down this path and ask my doctor to refer me to a specialist, i want to make sure i can actually afford this.

Yeah, exactly. I see a lot of people get into these circles where they've done nothing by they're 20, nothing by they're 25, nothing by they're 30... people I'm close to. I don't want to be like that. I always thought I should do well in life, I guess everyone thinks that way, though.
I understand. But I know life will get more exciting for you, and some great things will happen. My brother has done things in a similar way... he wants his success to be when he's older.

Oh yeah, I was purposely not posting in it, but then stuff just came over me. Fuck THAT guy.
For me, my teenage years bolted by. Time seems to have sped up ever since 2000. I remember early in grade 10, thinking "woah, only three years of high school left", then ... it felt like I finished grade 12 the next day.
I have some pretty clear ambitions for when I'm 30:
1. Working as a university lecturer or in some other similar capacity as a professional historian. (I think this is reasonable.)
2. Married. (Ha.)
3. Starting a family or about to. (See #2.)
4. Assuming all of 1-3, either back in New Zealand or seriously exploring options to return. (Sigh.)
5. Be a published author. (Reasonable, if I can ever overcome my perfectionism and finish something.)
If I throw #1 to the wind because I become a politician or transport planner, that wouldn't be so bad.

HOLY SHIT THERE'S A GODDAMN SPIDER RUNNING LOOSE IN RURAL AUSTRALIA
I WON'T FUCKING SLEEP TONIGHT
sorry Khan I'm just surprisingly compassionate for all living things.
ray:Trying to scare Khan. It doesn't understand it's JUST A SCREEN.
Wait, what the hell? Going to a doctor TO GET A REFERRAL could be prohibitively expensive?
WHAT KIND OF A FUCKED UP COUNTRY DO YOU LIVE IN.
That sort of thing costs me nothing.

What bugs me is that I know I have the potential to do a lot and I probably won't. I feel like I was closer to doing them when I was 18 than I am now. 2006-07 fucking destroyed me, and I'm only really now starting to realise just how badly.
Ultimately, I'd just like to be remembered for contributing something of value to academia. Not to necessarily have my name mentioned in the same breath as Keith Sinclair or Michael King, but ... to have at least mattered, intellectually. Not just to be a smartarse who never got anywhere.
Oh god I just laughed so hard.
well, getting the referral would be free, because i just saw this doctor wednesday for another referral. but it's the cost of seeing the person she'd refer me to that worries me. i'm already worried enough about how much seeing the neurologist would cost, but the other...

Oooh.
Here, it's not so bad. I had a referral for a CT scan that cost nothing, and the government covered half of the ophthalmologist's $120 fee.

I had a big arachnophobia a couple of years back. I got over it, hope you can too.

See, you're realistic. I won't settle for any less than being the first rock and roll astronaut that conquered Saturn and made world peace happen. At the very least, 25% of that should hopefully happen in my lifetime.
I do have some seriously big ambitions and goals lurking inside me. My ideal life:
- Play in a moderately successful rock band as vocalist and guitarist. By moderately successful, I mean about PT's level. Good sized fanbase, but you can walk down the street without people recognising you.
- Be the most famous New Zealand historian ever, with popular history books that sell to a broad market, including internationally.
- Write successful fiction that is compared favourably to Dostoevsky and advances New Zealand fiction out of its current mediocrity.
- Make enough money from the above that I can recklessly fund rail preservation projects all over New Zealand.
But I know I'm not that exceptional, so I just focus on realistic goals and occasionally daydream about being in a band.
I don't know, maybe I should strive for more, maybe that's the only way to get it, but ...
Oh god. I have always used the name Jim Bob as a stereotypical redneck name for lulz. I can't take this guy seriously: http://www.u2interference.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5681267&postcount=124
(Not that I'd take him seriously if his name were Vladimir either, given the content.)

when i see my doctor it will at least always cost me $25. i hate copays. that's the one thing i miss about my old job, my insurance had no copay. that, and the vacation time. well, and being able to sleep in a little. but none of that stuff had to do with my actual job duties so...this is still better.
i don't know, mine's getting worseI had a big arachnophobia a couple of years back. I got over it, hope you can too.
