I have...something of a strange dilemma. I came here six months after my birthday, and arrived six months ago...but my birthday is in June. Based on actual length of time I've been alive, I just turned nineteen...but my birthday isn't officially for another half a year.

Do you think I should just go ahead and start listing my age as 19, or would it be to confusing for the people who know what time of year I was born? I know I've already told a few people I'm a Gemini, so waiting would be simpler...but it feels a little weird, going an extra half a year between birthdays.

That's just the sad fact of life. It's not at all like in stories and tv shows.

[foolishjustice]

Though, sometimes in the opposite direction...if kids' shows are to be believed, ten year olds are more capable and responsible than anyone over the age of thirteen.

[despairing_hope]

It might be true on a certain level, at least, considering stupid things people do during puberty.

[foolishjustice]

In some ways, yes, but that's not quite the sort of irresponsibility you see teenagers and adults being hampered by on shows aimed at kids.

I've never really watched a lot of children's shows... I'm embarrassed to say. Most of the ones I can think of, didn't really have children as main characters.

[foolishjustice]

I...didn't really have much in the way of friends as a kid, so I didn't really have much else to entertain myself with.

I didn't have any, but I spent most my time at the library. It was more fun to read than try and be around other people anyway.
