Word.

Oh well.  As long as I have a My Little Pony tattooed on my hip I'll never consider myself an adult.

I think we all need My Little Pony tattoos, Haids.

Wait.
No, I guess I didn't really think that through.

Uhm, uh... I meant metaphorically, that's what I meant!

Uhh...Yeah. I'm gonna have to go with No on that one. Especially for those of us who look like Chris Farley - not a nice form for a girly tattoo.

However, Fun, Wild, and Care-free would be a great attitude.

(Not all of us have that attitude - I sure don't -, but it makes for a great goal!)

I refuse to grow up.


I may not be able to stop the growing OLD thing, but one of the joys of life is to be able to afford icecream and eat it WHENEVER THE HELL I DAMN WANT TO!

AND I WILL POST ANYWHERE I WANT TO, TOO.

*dances in thread to bring it back to life*

I'm growing up and getting older and older.... Wait my body doesn't.
In my mind I became/become a lot older. I even become a grandpa on some forums (due to age restriction)
So actualy I'm´getting an oldie.

I STILL EAT COOKIE DOUGH FOR BREAKFAST IN BED!

[Oldbushie]

I melt chocolate chips in the microwave and snack on the homemade fudge!

Also I have a huge collection of bouncy balls still.

Growing old is something we need to look after, because health-wise it is important. Like at least trying to keep an active routine? Maybe not work out kind of like, but yes to walking a lot and just not spending all day on your ass

But I still get excited to play Mario games on ZNES, I go into toy stores and look at any kind of stupid shiny toy I can find, I watch spongebob and overall I'm pretty much a dork at heart lol. No matter what country/state/timezone I'm in, I'm just me

[snabbott]

I'm pretty much a dork at heart lol.

Aren't we all? Ok - I guess I can only speak for myself.

[Say]

Well you guys probably do not remember, but I do remember how much hate I'd get (even Cesar!) in other communities because we do tend to be very silly and even though we worked very hard at it then (Cez still does, very very much), we can't take life so seriously 24/7. *Some* people don't really understand that. Or understand what I do or what matters to me, I guess but such is life.

But that sort of happens everywhere. I tend to come across as someone very silly online, in person I seem to be very intimidating and cold because I'm much more blunt, specially in my area which is business. But once you get to be around me for a while, you realize that even though I sometimes don't smile much, I do have a heart... somewhere lol, most of my employees are really close to me at some extent because I guess I'm a different kind of boss. I am a bit of a hardass but I am the kind of boss that if company payroll doesn't pay you on time, I will get money out of my pocket for you and your family do grocery shopping. It is sad to raise awareness that these situations do happen in large international companies at all. If you do make a mistake, I take off my coat and we sit down and fix it. If you have got an emergency just let me know and we work things out, as long as there's communication there is always a solution.

There are things I can get along with, like damage control? Ok, the corporate board lied their asses off and now there are branches on the edge of shuting down due to poor execution of higher management, ok they bring me in. That's ok, lots of work, lots of hate my way and it's fine (from costumers). Things get done, we save over +60 people jobs, that's a bunch of families that will have christmas meals this year.

There are many things I love: honesty, team players, creativity!  I love it when people have got ideas, when they care, when they are there, when they want to BE part of things. That's great.

But there are things I just can't and will never get along, now I most certainly know... which are lying to people, scamming people, stealing from people. As long as my name is part of it I don't think I've got what it takes to be a snake, I guess.

I'd rather be me, that's all I can be anyways.

Maybe that makes it very limited when it comes to finding my niche again in the world? I don't know, fact is knowing what NOT to do sure as heck gives you quite the perspective in life. Not just work.

STOP KILLING MY SEDENTATION CULT! IT EXISTS FOR A PURPOSE! (Purpoise! I want a purpoise! It would be a magical purple tortoise with a magical hat that lets you teleport to it! )

[Say]

Your purpose is to be awesome in here.


And here, have your porpoise!

[Deloria]

I had no idea it existed and all I wanted was a purple tortoise.

[Say]

Hahaha me neitheeeerr!

I had to google because you confused me! I was like, no... that word can't be right! then when I typed that down a bunch of freaking dolphins came up and hahaha, I was even more confused

[Deloria]

I prefer my idea. I'm now going to make a purple tortoise with a hunting cap and it will be adorable and magical and the dolphins will change their name in shame!

[Say]

Geochelone nigra chathamensis
Galapagos Tortoise
(Long Term privately held captive - purple is fracture treatment)


Apparently they do exist? But this one doesn't look so friendly... lol, looks like it's going to eat my soul


May I interest you in something that looks less angry??

[Oldbushie]

Awww, tiny!

Wow. It sounds like your employees are lucky to have a boss like you!

Lmao I just found this thread because...the title actually applies to my life right now; I go to work, I come home and work, I go to bed, then the day repeats again.

Oh the good old days of innane babbling and dancing bananas!

Here's something un-grown up that I did at the weekend; I flew on a broomstick! That's right I was at Harry Potter students being an absolute child! I got to go on a green screen, have my photo taken and pretend I was flying! The wind machine just made the experience even better!
I then got followed by a death eater who had a staring competition with me (i really do attract the weird guys!).

I never thought I could say I had a staring competion with a death eater and flew on a broomstick

[snabbott]

Kimmie!
