Well your work colleagues think i am in my 20's so that is where i am from now om...i am gonna plump for 25....yes my new b/d is 11/27/81 see i even americanianised it for you

mdiver said:

Good grief...I should have never told you that

btw...I need to get used to the date & time thingy your way...I am going there remember??

I'll be 26 on the 29th of this month, but to be honest sometimes I feel like I'm about 40 or something. Other times I feel about 10. I'm getting to that age where I can no longer consider myself a naturally fit young person, and getting my health and fitness back gets harder every year I fail.

I love the child in me though. I'm like that often with Mon, but rarely anywhere else. Sometimes I just want to give up all responsibilities and be like that every single minute. I've grown up too soon, and though I'm quite dependent sometimes with certain things (because Mon enables me), I've definitely grown up too soon.

Happy belated birthday

mdiver said:

You picked the best year. Welcome aboard, mid-20 something.

Fauxie said:

I was forced to grow up too soon as well due to my parents and their situation and it does suck some times. I find that I do not really know how to find my inner child. I think I smothered her a long time ago.
Maybe she will come back some day.

shanti0608 said:

I have seen her, she is lovely, i see her alot when you smile and laugh. She comes back more everyday we spend together.

mdiver said:

Wow- she is a naughty young girl then... next time you see her I think you need to punish her for being a bad girl...



TY... I am glad that she does come out every now and then. Hopefully that will change in a few months.

Forgive me, I was going to say something nice, but

Fauxie said:

You crack me up

Oh I mean

Fauxie said:

I really do need to do something to boost my bad ass image....Nick can i pick on you for a while?

Oh hang on i will have Erin crawling all over my ass then.....

shanti0608 said:

Thanks

I'd let it go because it's sweet and all, but still... oh hell, go on wit your bad selves.

You know, I feel bad because that night I told you I'd send you my 'praa'. We were sat on the bus last night and I told Mon how I was thinking about you two whenever I wore it. She said there's no way I could send it because it's the first one her father gave to me. I reasoned that it served me well, got me through a tricky time and that you guys were doing the long distance thing at the moment, but she said it's a no-go. I want to keep my eye out for one with a relevant history and meaning to you guys though and I'll know when I find it.

mdiver said:

Sure. I'm not sure that will boost your bad ass image though. And it won't be Erin crawling all over your ass.

Fauxie said:

I would NEVER feel right about having it honestly. Just knowing that you think of us and wish us well is a blessing in itself my friend. I want you to keep it for your journey with Mon. You have given me so much already by being my friend. A constant friend that has been open and honest and has always been there when I needed someone to lean on.
I do not rely on too many ppl because I fear of being let down- I know that I never have to worry about that with you.
You are a wonderful person and I want you and Mon to keep that and have a wonderful life together.

Fauxie said:

Yeah i am kinda thinking i need to pick on someone that not everyone loves

shanti0608 said:

Thank you for understanding. I'll hold on to it, along with my giant circular one that makes me look like that guy from Public Enemy, and the turtle one I've yet to get a chain for, but I'm still going to be on the lookout for one for you two.

That one was so perfectly unassuming though, so grand in its simplicity and worn down from its history from Ayuthuya, the ancient capital. Significant, but not opulent. It's funny, 'cause Mon's walking around with this thing around her neck that's worth more than her parents paid to build this house, on a cheap metal necklace in a cheap metal surround, and here's me with my worn down praa, perfect in its imperfection.

I'd love to get you one from Sukothai, the first capital of Thailand and where Theravada Buddhism was introduced to Thailand. They have marvelous lotus flowers there at the temples and I think that would be fitting, with the beauty of the lotus flowers and the leaves floating on the water. Right now you're floating on the water like the leaves, but the future brings flowers.

Ok, that was sappy but heartfelt.

mdiver said:

Please. I'm just here way too much.

Fauxie said:

Another reason why I call you friend

You are beautiful...

shanti0608 said:

Thank you. It was sappy as hell though.

20.

Fauxie said:

Sappy is good...

It is like sweet and salty.
Gotta have a balance of both.
Not everyone can possess such talents.
Funny and sensitive

body: 37
mind: 12
