The 29th Sundrop

Okay, I have a question!


Sooo...When I left home to come here, it was my birthday at home. Which was in the summer. But it was winter here...so I guess it wasn't really my birthday here.

But my birthday is this month, so I'm really confused about what I should be doing. Am I turning 18 because it wasn't my birthday when I got here? Or am I turning 19 because it was my birthday at home when I left?

Pascal and I have been talking about this, and we both got confused...so he suggested asking somebody here, because somebody here MUST know what I should be doing.

Time here is very confusing, isn't it? Because...even though my birthday is this month, back home, when I go back, it'll be my birthday again, but not this specific one...

I think I'm giving myself a headache trying to think about this.

Oh, I've been here since January. I think it was January, anyway.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Oh, whoa. So you're like an expert by now.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I learn something new every day! There are people who have been here much longer than me.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. Y'never stop learning, I guess.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't think you do. It's exciting, isn't it?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's pretty tight. 'S like endless expansion packs, for life.

[Lol she doesn't get it.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... n-never mind. Sometimes I shouldn't say words.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, no, don't think that! I'm sorry...I don't get things sometimes, that's all...part of living a sheltered life, I think.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Nah, sometimes I say stuff that doesn't make sense to most people. That's probably sorta a sheltered life thing, too, actually.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I didn't understand it. I don't get things sometimes, it's not your fault.

Really?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't really get out much. I'm used to people not getting stuff, 'cause, y'know. I play a lot of video games and stuff. Read a lot of genre-heavy books, watch a lot of... obscure TV shows, that kind of thing. [He smiles sheepishly.] If you don't get what I'm saying, ever, it's probably 'cause of that.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, that's okay, really!

I don't think I know what video games are, to be honest with you. I like books though, and...TV is the moving picture box, right? I keep forgetting it's got a name, since we don't have anything like that where I'm from.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Books're good, yeah. And yup, TV's the picture box. Video games are kinda like that, only you get to push buttons and tell the pictures what to do, sorta. I can show you sometime, if you want.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Video games sound fun...I'd like to try one sometime.
