I'm not ready for responsibility (Except managing the Spamocratic Court of course). But it's so weird that technically I have only a few hours of childhood left. It's not like everything's going to change at midnight but I'm not used at all to having to think about stuff like health insurance. Guess that'll come with time. Nah don't worry, you never stop being a kid. Just wait five years and you'll see. I'm pretty sure I don't feel any different than I did when I was 17/18. As for health insurance, you're at the age when you're least likely to actually need it, so you have that going for you. 16 minutes ago, HelenaExMachina said: Shirk all responsibilities and build a fort join the dark side and ab's glorious rebellion! Y'all got on this thread for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another thread, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can rule people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose your health insurance is still covered for you while you are a student? The only think that really changes is, you will start getting those invitations to elections when there is one. Anyway, as abbie here says, you never stop being a child ... or at least feeling as one. Well, I cannot speak for later than that, but certainly not till you are 24.

First of My Name Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 For some reason the app won't let me quote more than one person... Helena, yeah, they've explained most of it or are going to. Also I'm royalty now, I can't very well join the rebellion now can I? Good to hear ab. I'd hate to stop feeling like a kid. And yeah I probably won't need it, but it's something to get used to. Buck, that's not how it works here We have to arrange that ourselves, but a large part of it is paid by some government subsidy (if that's the English word). Elections is also something I should look into, but there are a few parties I know I'll definitely NOT vote for. Man it was so fucking cold today. The good news is that my weekend starts tomorrow afternoon [emoji317] I'll be starting driving lessons sometime this week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't intending to read that book but other people might. That sentence has very carefully been constructed to not be a spoiler. Give me some credit. And do read the book.

Mouse update; walked into the kitchen to grab my water from the fridge and Maureen (that's what we named her. Because of course we would) is sat in the middle of the floor. She saw me and scurried off, squeezing into a gap beneath the cupboards. *sigh* Guess I had better buy some stuff while I'm out today. We notified the staff too, since this likely means others in the accommodation will also have mice problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Apparently we have pop up notifications and sound notifications. I unticked that in my settings, but still got a ping and a window about FOMN just quoting me. I do not like it. Spoiler Spoiler boxes look better now though.
