I was just wondering how old everyone is at this forum. I don't think this thread has been done before but a lot of new people have come so here it is. Of course, we won't know how old you are by the poll personally, so if you are brave enough....(Or have the ability to take 10 years off...) then you can post it underneath.

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Aug 5 2005, 07:36 PM

18 here O.o

as to avoid creating an off topic post i will address konrads comment here.

Thank you ^.^

Posted by: Konradude Aug 5 2005, 07:41 PM

Knew that from your blog. Cool blog by the way.

Posted by: Mazuk Aug 5 2005, 07:51 PM

Humm, well this is interesting thread. I am 26. If you are a member of the Official Forums you would of seen that on the 3rd. He he.

Posted by: Moth Aug 5 2005, 08:23 PM

I'm fifteen. I used to think 13-17 was the average age of the TES community though, but most of the polls on the official forums had from 20 - 36 as the most common, which is a good thing of course.

Posted by: Konradude Aug 5 2005, 08:35 PM

You're one damn good artist for 15...

Posted by: gamer10 Aug 5 2005, 08:37 PM

I am 13.

As several of you already know.

I was tempted to select other and post "I do not age" but decided that it would have probably been considered spam.

Posted by: Dantrag Aug 5 2005, 08:40 PM

I am diesiseis(16) years old. And I now have my license. And I am very happy, even though I have no car to drive.

Posted by: gamer10 Aug 5 2005, 08:41 PM

Run through the street in a cardboard box with a frisbee as a steering wheel.



No, don't.

No license, no car, no job. I win

Posted by: gamer10 Aug 5 2005, 08:47 PM

No license, no car, no job, no money, no ice cream (hehe . .)

I win.

Posted by: Dantrag Aug 5 2005, 08:48 PM

No, you guys lose, just for not having any of those things.

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Aug 5 2005, 08:49 PM

no license or car here either O.o

16 by october, also known as 15.

Posted by: Zelda_Zealot Aug 5 2005, 10:05 PM

16 and proud of it! I dont have my license, I have a non working car, have almost no friends, no Girlfriend, no job, -8 of a life, but over 100$ right in front of me. Tell me, just how sad is that?

Posted by: Konradude Aug 6 2005, 12:10 AM

Uh...welcome to the forums?

Posted by: Red Aug 6 2005, 12:11 AM

16, no liscense, no car, no girlfriend (Don't really care about it right now though), no money, only one can of tuna, no video-phone, no lightsabre, belong to no clubs or groups outside of school and the internet, no super secret samurai team or even a yacht.

Posted by: Konradude Aug 6 2005, 12:16 AM

No yacht?!

Damn that's poor.

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Aug 6 2005, 12:20 AM

15, no computer.... This must confuse you. I have to resort to public computers because my old computer died and my greedy parents won't share theirs.... and they have 2. "Sure we'll get you a new computer, I want you to have one trust me"
1 year later and I still haven't gotten one (its not just for me I have siblings too) and yet my dad has gotten another one my mom got a new one, her's broke and then she got ANOTHER for FREE and STILL won't SHARE IT.

Posted by: Mazuk Aug 6 2005, 12:44 AM

I think i should withdraw my vote. yall are making me feel old here. And I am sorry to hear that Intestinal Chaos.

Posted by: Red Aug 6 2005, 01:12 AM

Yeah, that sucks. I suggest becoming a diamond theif and then buyng one. Sorry, had to say that.

Posted by: Soulseeker3.0 Aug 6 2005, 02:24 AM

well put these together and you just about have me. except I have 3 or 4 cans of tuna and don't have $100.... I have less then 10

Posted by: Kiln Aug 6 2005, 03:54 AM

Why is there no age six option? How am I supposed to vote?
Seriously though, I voted eighteen...not exactly poor but definately not rich...

Posted by: Zelda_Zealot Aug 6 2005, 04:05 AM

I only have 100$ from a combo of Birthday checks and missed allowences that come back all at once. So I am just as poor as you... I need a job... and a working car to get to my job...

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Aug 6 2005, 04:25 AM

O.o i have no car but have several hundred dollars -.- that i can spend from working, birthday, graduation, etc.

Posted by: Channler Aug 6 2005, 05:11 AM

I am 16, single yet not at the same time, I have a job, I have a car, I have a liscence(SP), about 2 cans of tuna in the drawer...

Ahh.. What else, I cant write, draw, thing (thats beside the point0 and I am damn sexy +)

I should also tell you that I am a bit of a prep O_o Rainbows anyone?!?

Also on the money wise, i got 3 dollars in my checking account =\

Posted by: Dantrag Aug 6 2005, 06:25 AM

*points at Chanler* Preppy guy!

just kidding - I don't really care. I hang out with all sorts of people.

The only thing I have that Channler doesn't is the writing skills and that third can of tuna.

And he can keep those rainbows. (i hate sandals of all kinds)

During my examinations, explorations and investigations of the divisions of this medium of colloquium and confabulation, I have encountered this alloggiamento dealing with the dilemma of the average length of nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future that the members of this medium have existed.

Desiring to be sufficiently informative to the myriad of visitors here, I have selected to report to you the time that I have so far functioned on this planet as a sentient entity.

That interval is equal to 0,024 millenia.

Should you desire an account of this interval, it would be entirely feasible for you to ask me to submit it.

Posted by: gamer10 Aug 6 2005, 02:48 PM

Ummm . . .I don't have any tuna . . .

Posted by: DoomedOne Aug 7 2005, 12:26 AM

13 and 14 don't count.

See, my last girlfriend had to pick ME up to go out, that is the ultimate sad. You do not get sadder than that. I saw a homeless guy on the street with no legs outside my house watch her pick me up and whistle through his toothless mouth, "Oh now that's just pathetic."

Posted by: Mazuk Aug 7 2005, 12:48 AM

Yeah i know but they haven't posted or voted and probably won't but hey its all in fun.

Oh yeah about the poor thing. We all can show how poor we are and all but can you show pride in it.

Posted by: King Death Aug 7 2005, 02:56 AM

I'm 15, no girlfriend (although I should and in some ways do, and I get along with her better than her boyfriend does. anyway it's a long story and if for some reason you want to hear pm me).

But here are some things I do have

a secret samuri team (well, more of a secret ninja team), it's called the 6 for fighting.

Hepititus

Lymes

About 7 other diseases

a nephew (as of the 29th)

a mortal enemy

hazel eyes

a computer

an absense of a job (and life)

Posted by: Channler Aug 7 2005, 03:25 AM

...Wonderful?

Lemme update my status, I have a GF now

Posted by: Red Aug 7 2005, 04:04 AM

Congrats Channler. I kinda have a girlfriend, but that doesn't qualify to change my prevois post. Anyways, a question about forum age. Has anyone seen a forumite who qualifies as a senior citizen?

Posted by: ShogunSniper Aug 7 2005, 04:38 PM

14.
Girlfriend (yay)
no car
$100 some odd dollars
above average cpu
a futon (yay)
a flatscreen tv (yay)

I'm 26-35, have car but no gas and no money for repairs, have a job, but don't have my paycheck (8 of them, actually), have a wonderful mom & dad who are too old and too sick, have lots of 'buddies' and (possibly) no real friends, have... meh, I have not. I win (yeah, wictory... right).

Posted by: Zelda_Zealot Aug 9 2005, 04:08 AM

I can only see two things in commen with most of us forumites(Not counting the love of TES).

1: We are almost all between the ages of 13-17.
2: We dont have a GF.

How do I know we all arnt clones of each other...

Posted by: Channler Aug 9 2005, 04:23 AM

1: I am between the age of 16-17 not 13-17 =P
2: I have a girlfriend

Posted by: DoomedOne Aug 9 2005, 06:48 AM

In 8 months (at most) I will be up to par with Channler, except I'll also be 4 months into the ages of 17-18.

Posted by: Fade2gray Aug 9 2005, 06:57 AM

I, the annoying and opinionated one whom, as if you post in or read the parliament thread you've likely guessed by now, generally disagrees with most liberalism on principle, am less than one month shy of 21.

Sheez, you guys are making me feel old and rich! Well, I supose we all need a little bucking up some how every now and then. Mmmm, I love roling in tuna, even if half of it is in my head.

Posted by: Zelda_Zealot Aug 9 2005, 02:05 PM

You betrayed us so you dont count .

P.S. You are between the age of 13-17 so that is right .

Posted by: Ryuku Walker Aug 9 2005, 02:38 PM

Just turned 14. I'm a nice guy, yes I am.

Posted by: darkcootie Aug 9 2005, 06:40 PM

Just yesterday I turned 16. Hurrah for me

Posted by: Aki Aug 12 2005, 07:41 AM

Because unlike you lot, i have a GF.

I just don't advertise the fact.

You got me #1 though. *shakes fist*

Posted by: Kell-Reevor Aug 12 2005, 07:50 AM

I don't need a GF, I have a computer.

.... god I'm lonely

Posted by: BobV Aug 12 2005, 11:41 AM

This one is somewhere in the 13-17 line. Oh, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, or car, or license, or stereo installation in his bathroom, or bathroom in his stereo installation...

Posted by: minque Aug 12 2005, 03:41 PM

yayyy 3 ppl in the 40+ section.....see, we oldies are still going strong....(now I wonder who the 3rd is.... )

Posted by: King Death Aug 12 2005, 03:59 PM

Ya but you're gonna konk over dead any minute. Oh that reminds me, I almost had a heart attack in feburary. Yep, blood-clot in my liver.

Posted by: minque Aug 12 2005, 04:01 PM

We are??? No way..I´m not I promise...YOU almost had a heart-attack?? oh jeez...but..but..you are not the third 40+ are you???

Posted by: King Death Aug 12 2005, 04:18 PM

Nope, I'm fifteen. YAY FOR HIGH CHOLESTEROL!!!

It's really wierd, my dad's cholesterol is half of the low-risk catagory for his age, and I'm 15 with blood-clots and gaul stones(I left that out too)

Posted by: minque Aug 12 2005, 04:26 PM

YOU should be more careful with your diet my dear King Death!...I am way over 40 and has really low cholesterol.....gallstones I had but they are since long removed....

Posted by: King Death Aug 12 2005, 04:44 PM

I am careful with my diet. Actually I was anarexic a couple of years ago. I don't look like I'd have heart trouble. I'm constantly playing sports, in fact I play both 1st and 2nd string linebacker in football. I just got my mom's heart gene's instead of my dad's. It's really wierd.

Posted by: minque Aug 12 2005, 05:02 PM

Aww that is bad luck really...take care then......ya hear!

Posted by: Ambberfox Aug 12 2005, 05:22 PM

Have you been drawing since you were -5 then?

Posted by: Ambberfox Aug 15 2005, 08:00 PM

umm, no... I think I started when I was 6 or 7

Posted by: DoomedOne Aug 16 2005, 02:52 AM

Did you enter a time-warp for the 11 extra years necessary to become as good a drawer as you are?

Posted by: Konradude Aug 16 2005, 10:07 AM

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Though 11 years is a bit small...

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Aug 17 2005, 02:00 AM

King Death, your quite appropietly named if you already almost had a heart attack!

Posted by: Soulseeker3.0 Aug 17 2005, 04:04 PM

I've got an update... I can now drive

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Aug 17 2005, 04:15 PM

update.

i'm now nearly broke (only $108 on me) thanks to college text books.

i'm at college

still no gf, and still can't drive though i do have a learner's permit(lol)

Posted by: Dantrag Aug 17 2005, 04:18 PM

If you're in college, I'm guessing you're 18...you can just go to the DMV with your parent's car and get a license. You didn't even need your permit.

And since you live in NC I know this is correct.

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Aug 17 2005, 04:19 PM

yep i can, but i'm too lazy lol ^ ^.

i'll probly d it during fall break o somethng.

btw love the sig.

Posted by: Konradude Aug 17 2005, 04:21 PM

Fall break...that doesn't sound like a luck y time to do it.

Posted by: King Death Oct 1 2005, 02:55 PM

Perhaps that's because this is an rpg fan-site.

Posted by: minque Oct 1 2005, 07:48 PM

Hmm but females play rpg:s! I mean I do.....and my daughters used to......so

Posted by: Haw Oct 1 2005, 08:23 PM

'Used to' being the key word
Are Minque and I really the only females here? I think I could get used to being in a minority. It makes me special.

Posted by: minque Oct 1 2005, 08:29 PM

Well yeah my daughters are moving on with their lives sorta! But mom still stick to MW and things.....


Ehh no Haw we are not the only females that are members there are MerGirl...who´s posting.but we are special anyways! We are so few....there are a few more female ones but they hardly ever post.....so go for it Haw!!!!

Posted by: Channler Oct 2 2005, 04:45 AM

Well, I love the feminine companionship regaurdless.. It brings an unbridled clearity to our (us Boyz to Men) chaos.

Simply put, welcome! The more the merrier!

Posted by: King Death Oct 6 2005, 06:25 PM

Yes it always reminds me to censor(sp?) myself.

Posted by: Red Oct 6 2005, 10:22 PM

<-------Is Seventeen. Anyone remember how lame sixteen was? Sweet sixteen and I went out like, three time every month. Not saying it wasn't fun, but those sweet 16 movies are increadibly misleading (where's my awesome road trip full of money, girls, fun and trouble? You owe me!). Anyways, Seventeen is cool, school is ok, and I'm probably going out later, for downtown calls my name.

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Oct 12 2005, 03:57 AM

I'm 14 right now, I'll be 15 not long after Christmas. I currently have no job, although that may change. I am thinking about applying to be either a bagboy or a stockboy at one of two large supermarket stores, both of which are fairly nearby my house. One is only a half hour bike ride, while the other is a 45 minute bike ride. The second one pays $1.25 more than the first, so I think I'll probably go there first. I am currently single, and I actually prefer it that way. I am a deeply private person. (private enough that I don't go to one of my parent's homes anymore unless I am forced to because I have to share a room with an obnoxious melodramatic younger brother) Girlfriends generally want to know something about you other than your name. (Hehe) I do have a few female friends, but nobody I go out with. I currently have 5 dollars and small change. I own a computer, but it is made of random parts my dad collected over the years. All of my clothes are either from Goodwill/thriftstore, too small, or are closeout sales from a decent store. I will maybe be able to drive when I turn 16, I figure I'll start dating more when I have a car. Cars are cool, and I'll get my liscense before any of my friends do, so I may have to at least be a chaufuer(sp) for a while.

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Oct 12 2005, 04:01 AM

hmm since everyone does updates I guess i should to. I'm still single and can't complain since i ahve college to pay for. and i just had a $275 doller reduction in my bank accounts. sigh, you gotta love addictive hobbies. I'm sure I will wuv my shrimpies ^ ^ all 57 of them.

Posted by: RobRendell Oct 12 2005, 05:40 AM

Wow, you're all so young! So many teenagers!

I'm 36, turning 37 late November. I'm the first vote in my age range

I'm happily married, have two children (who are 4 and almost 6), mainly good health, a job which I enjoy more often than not, and many good friends who we catch up with regularly. So, I'm pretty happy with my lot (if not the state of the world at large).

Oh, and being a vegetarian, I have no tuna either

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Oct 12 2005, 03:54 PM

As of now it is almost my 16th birthday (the 23rd) and I just might finally get the computer I've obsessed over getting for two years. (I have to use public ones...). Though it is still unlikely.....


I just might get WoW and no computer though...

Posted by: Finch Oct 12 2005, 04:04 PM

Im 16 and also have no gf... Come from the UK!! which makes a change from most of u americans . I dont understand have some of u have barely any friends, i have loads!, not boasting or anything.

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Oct 17 2005, 05:48 AM

It's because we're Americans. See, even we don't want to hang out with ourselves.

I might be getting a job soon. There's a place that will hire me a few weeks before my birthday, if they still need help. I know when I'll be old enough to work there because my mom's boyfriend works there, (he has two jobs, one of them is there) and he asked for me.

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Nov 8 2005, 04:52 AM

Huzzah! All gather around and rejoice!, for I have been gifted my new computer!

Posted by: Soulseeker3.0 Nov 8 2005, 04:58 AM

Woot! congrats

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Nov 8 2005, 05:20 AM

Congrats on the computer. Is it a good one?

I still have no job. (Damn those strict child labor laws! They're meant for people who don't live on three hours of sleep a day anyways, they shouldn't apply to me!)

My computer is painted <autocensor, not actually painted> up. It hates me. Every forty minutes or so, or whenever I leave my computer, and it isn't actually opening a new page, it dissconnects from the internet. I found a way around needing to restart my computer to regain my internet connection. Now I just have to run MSN messenger, it tells me I can't connect, and they can try to repair it, and so far, it almost always works.

And as for your new slogan, no thank you.

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Nov 8 2005, 05:23 AM

Well It is somewhat good, I lag on WoW extremely in IronForge (lags beyond the ability to function). The internet is good and it is much better than I suspected. I have no job as well, this was a family gift (we recived cash from the goverment over some obscure thing) and they bought all 9 kids this one computer. As you might guess it is highly contested.

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Nov 8 2005, 07:50 AM

Ah. So, it's decent, but not top-of-the-line.

Te way I explained my computer to my friends is like this: "When it works, it's better than the Pentagon. When it crashes, it brings down the economies of small countries with it." That's a bit of an exxaggeration, naturally. If I had a computer better than the Pentagon, they'd kill me and take it. If I brought down the economy of a small country, they'd hire an assassin as soon as their economy was up again. I seem fairly alive to me, so obviously I exaggerated a bit.

My mom and dad live sepparately, and they each have a computer at their house. My mother's computer gets about one frame an hour on Morrowind, to give you an idea of how bad it is. It has internet, broadband in fact, because it's only a bit more expensive than AOL, and we can use our phone and it's much faster. At my dad's house, we have three computers. One is my dad's, the other two are mine. Kind of. The one is for everyone, but I'm the only one who uses it, partially because I'm the only one who ever gets a chance to. My two younger siblings are only here mornings and nights. I don't sleep nights, and I'm here for a few hours after school. The other computer, the one that really is mine, is a gift from my dad, his old computer which he totally destroyed, and bought a new one and gave this one to me rather than fix it. He managed to total the power source. How he did that is beyond me, he is an IT guy, and has worked with computers his whole life, but he managed to wreck this one prettty well. I did manage to get it working, after wrestling with getting all the parts back inside, installing Windows XP Pro, getting all that stuff set up, and the power core blew again. It works every now and then, if I'm really careful to jiggle the switched just right, but mostly it sits there.

Oh, and we also have a Commodore 64, which is currently being used as my doorstop, because my idiot brother broke my door by running into it repeatedly untill the doorknob broke off on both sides, as well as the lock and everything else. I think I had it locked, and I wasn't home, and he didn't know that, and he wanted to ask me something. Or something like that. Or maybe I was home, and he ran into it repeatedly because he has ADHD and seventeen different mental issues. Either one works.

My mother's computer, I never use. That's the kiddies' computer. I never touch it. The only thing I do at my mother's house is sleep (I'm there from 5 pm-9 pm, I don't sleep much at night) eat dinner, and wash dishes every other day or so, when it's my turn.

I can see how having nine kids and one computer can be a problem. We don't have that problem at my house, because at any given time, we have one computer that works, and only three kids, instead of one. If we're at my mother's house, I'm sleeping, my sister is on the computer, and my brother is playing violent bloody horrible games. Or my brother and sister switch places, I don't care, I'm asleep. Or my mother plays solitaire and the two of them fight over that is cheap is a multiplayer game. If we're at my dad's house, I'm on the computer, and they're sleeping, or they are watching the TV.

How do you manage schedules with the nine kids? I mean, for me, I can manage this as a schedule because we never have more than two people fighting over a computer, but with nine? The way we used to run it was we each got half hour turns, but that sucks. I mean, what can you do in half an hour? Not much. Much longer than that, though, and you have people using the computer all the time, and some parents don't like that.

My family used to use half hour turns, but now we've switched to an hour.

Anyways (back on topic), I am indeed still 15, I do however (as of yesterday) have Ninja Gaiden Black. 'Tis super awesome.

Posted by: Bofra Nov 9 2005, 04:12 PM

I thought the forums were a bit older being so mature, seems like 13-17 is winning, but then I have huge prejudice on all 13 - 15 years old people

I'm 19 myself.

no car, no license and especially no girlfriend

but then I have a job, I have money and especially a good computer

Edit: Man, that sounds pathetic.. poor me...

Posted by: King Death Nov 11 2005, 05:03 AM

Yeah, I know how you feel. Most of my friends are about 20.

Posted by: Freaky Freddy Nov 11 2005, 12:56 PM

Im 18... Im starting to feel old here

Posted by: King Death Nov 11 2005, 03:09 PM

As well you should.

Oh dear oh dear..if YOU feel old...hmmm..what shall I feel then....?? ....Ancient Methusalem?

We should feel... dead.

Posted by: King Death Nov 11 2005, 08:16 PM

Well said.

No, you should just feel... mature.

Posted by: Scrooluse Nov 11 2005, 10:27 PM

Well lets see here..

I'm 25, no girlfriend (by my choice. I'd rather be single than end up with an airhead), I keep my time happily occupied with writing, gaming of kinds, tending my garden (though it's coming into the season where I need to start preparing seedlings for next year), and keeping general tabs on the forums here at W4O

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Nov 11 2005, 10:39 PM

You know, I've met girls who weren't airheads. Many of them. I have met many airheads as well, but a great deal of girls that I've met are deep, pkilosopphical, even. I guess it just depends on where you look. It's harder to find them, as they are (often) the ones who are either already married or dating or men haters. A couple of my friends are girls like that.

I still have no girlfriend, although I hang out with a couple of girls. I don't go out because I have no job, and can't afford to go anywhere. Neither can they. Once I get a job, and maybe a car, I'll start going out more. The girls I hang out with are pretty deep thinkers, as deep as I am, sometimes more. I don't hang out with people for being pretty (beautiful, whatever) but I'd say they look nice as well. Not the most beasutiful girls in the school, perhaps, but they are kind and smart and share my sense of humor and look pretty as well. I also hang out with a couple of guys, all of whom are also broke. I hang out with everybody in small groups, rarely more than two at a time, because I dislike social interaction in large groups.

I'll be getting a job in a couple weeks! (maybe)

Posted by: minque Nov 11 2005, 11:08 PM

You have a garden? That is very nice....I like plants but my so called garden doesn´t have enough soil to grow anything but heather and some succulents that don´t need so much.....

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Nov 11 2005, 11:42 PM

Minque you could try the wonderfl, though not as handy world of aquatic gardening ^ ^. Though thre are a few aquatic plants out there that are edible. though don't ask me what they are. Still aquatic gardening is amazing, you would not believe how many species of plants there are out there.

Posted by: minque Nov 12 2005, 12:02 AM

Yes....I actually could, since I do have a small aquarium...with two big tiger-coloured flat fishes ..we call them scalares....thay just had kids so the pot is crowded at the moment..

Now you are right..there are a lot of beautiful plants to grow in water!

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Nov 12 2005, 12:06 AM

scalares or Pterophylum scalare are most commonly called angelfish . What size is the aquarium?

As for plants, well the angelfish will love them, especial broad leavedplants since they can lay their eggs on the surface.

Posted by: Scrooluse Nov 12 2005, 12:15 AM

I am not proclaiming ALL women airheads, but the ones I have run across feign interest in my favored topics and offer more or less a vague, fuzzy reply that strongly hints they have no idea whatsoever what I'm talking about. Given my area, the intellectual and adorably smart ones are quite taken, what is usually left are the "party girls" who tend to objectify themselves and seem to have bacteria as the only culture in them. As such, I can't stomach them whatsoever. I'd rather have my skull caved in with a 10 pound sledgehammer than end up with your average Sacramento party girl. Given rather restrictive options, I'd rather continue on with my own thing.

Posted by: minque Nov 12 2005, 12:16 AM

the aquarium is small about 50-60 litres i think..and they certainly laid eggs on my juicy green leaved plants because there are a lot of children now in various sizes....

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Nov 12 2005, 12:19 AM

That's a bit small for angelfish >.< ut we are deviating of topic, we can continue through PMag e if you wish.

Posted by: Sir Radont Dec 1 2005, 04:41 PM

I am 24 years old, I'll be 25 on January 30. I have been married for 4 and a half years now with my first child on the way. I've been playing games for as long as I can remember, way back to the atari 2600 and Apple II+. I have a job which I enjoy, I guess. I will make writing my career when I get around to it. If you REALLY want to know more than visit my http://www.myspace.com/38061153 page. I'm going to bed now (it's 10:45am but I work the dreaded third shift, I'm a vampire).

Posted by: minque Dec 1 2005, 07:54 PM

To Sir Radont: First I wish you all the best for your child to come! It´s a big occasion to have your first child! (I´ve 3, btw). Then I have visited your "space" and I liked what I read.

Another thing!

In the poll I read that we have 1 member under 13...... hmmmm could it be a typo?

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Dec 1 2005, 08:29 PM

They could have parental permission minque

Posted by: Razorwing Dec 31 2005, 02:35 PM

A whopping 28 here. Old by most standards I imagine. We have several people in our team who are 40 or older though, which feels great. Means that gaming will probably be fun for the rest of my life.

Posted by: Kindred Spirit Jan 1 2006, 07:21 AM

Update on myself, I guess.

I'm now fifteen with a girlfriend, but still no car (have to be 16 to drive here anyways, so no big loss) or job as of yet, although I'm looking for a job. There are two supermarket chains near here, no more than an hour bikeride away, so I'll be trying to get a job as a stockboy or bagboy in one of those two places as the first places I look for work.

My girlfriend is a girl I've known for a couple of years, maybe four or five, although we were just aquaintances untill this year. We've been pretty good friends for a couple of months now, and I finally got the courage to ask her out.

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Jan 6 2006, 05:46 PM

As long as Kindred is, I might as well update as well.

I'm sixteen and still have no job, permit, or license. I'm confined to my home most days when I'm not at school. I'd like a job, and the only thing that is keeping me away is the forced human interaction, which won't stop me for long until I desperately need the money and job experience.

Posted by: Florodine of Hlaalu Jan 6 2006, 10:48 PM

I am fifteen with a girl friend, no job, and legally i can't drive here. (Stupid connecticut) Though i heard in some states you can drive at fifteen, or at least get your permit.

Posted by: King Death Jan 8 2006, 01:46 AM

Yep, like good ol' Missouri.

I'm still fifteen, no girlfriend (although both closer and farther away from it), I do have a car (I have four months to fix it up before I turn 16), and I have been shunned by society.

Posted by: Intestinal Chaos Jan 8 2006, 01:58 AM

I might as well add the girlfriend part, but trust me, it's pretty confusing.

There was this girl I met (the first person I met) upon moving to a new town. We instantly became friends, but you could just tell there was something more going on. I liked her very much, but being the coward I am, never told her (though I was certain she felt the same). Unfortunatly a year later I moved again, never telling her how I felt.

We stayed in contact over AIM, and so the friendship remained intact. Another year later through the urgings and mediation of a friend in common we admitted our feelings for eachother. We decided we aren't quite dating YET, but as soon as we meet again, which will be constantly over the course of several months, we will cement the relationship. In the meantime we won't be persuing anyone else and like I said... are not quite dating.

It isn't permanently a visiting relationship, I've learned I'm moving back there (completly not my decision, yet I bless it) and that's when things will be a bit more normal.

Posted by: Megil Tel-Zeke Jan 9 2006, 08:20 PM

the update:

still single. no girlfriend nor will I have one. I am gay.

there are a few prospective guys though

and I am broke -_- going to work 20 hours this semester and save up some money.

Posted by: mplantinga Jan 10 2006, 01:53 AM

I am curious when this thread switched from being forumite ages to personal life updates. Regardless, I just realized I voted in the poll but never posted in the thread.

I am 28 years old, and like the very brave Megil Tel-Zeke, I am gay. My boyfriend and I have been together for just over three years. He doesn't understand my obsession with TES, but that's his loss. Right now, I'm trying to save up money for a new computer so that I can actually play Oblivion when it comes out.

Posted by: Channler Jan 10 2006, 04:53 AM

Hmmm.. well...

I'm not gay

Sorry guys I'm off the market.

Anyways, the other day I met this awesome girl.. Good god.. she blew my mind to say the least. We've been talking on the phone in-stuff, and I just found out that she goes to my school.. but I didn't know that.. I've been there for 3 years to, go figure.. Anyways.

I don't plan to ask her out, because, if I have a any fear, then that fear is the fear of commitment. Me and relationships just don't work out.. I can't figure it out, I mean, as long as the girl and I are just close friends I'm cool and I can play my pimp game , but if we make things official, I sweat all the small stuff.

Eeek, marriage is going to be horrible...

Posted by: Florodine of Hlaalu Jan 10 2006, 05:12 AM

Alright i may sound like some idiot, however if you really like the girl, and don't feel uncomfortable around her, then you'll know if you should really go out with her. Just make sure nothing changes if you go out. Like me and chelsea (my gf) we were friends and then stayed the same once we started going out (only now we can be that much closer, sexually of course not, because not before marriage)

Posted by: Channler Jan 10 2006, 05:21 AM

This is were my problem lies.. I am a extremely out going guy. So, while I don't really feel uncomfortable around her, I'm just not built for a relationship (maybe atm, I'm not sure). Something holds me back, but I can't find what that is.

I've upset a few girls because of my problem....
