Sorry to have talked on the network so much lately, but -- as of today, I've been in Adstring for a whole year. I'll be sixteen in February, too, and I was wondering - do you guys count your birthdays? Do you count yourselves as getting older, I mean.

Congrats...you're getting pretty old.

Shut up, Jet.

[But it's said with affection.]

[video] fn_rebel September 9 2011, 04:38:11 UTC

Hey, you're gonna be as old as me pretty soon.

[That's worthy of a laugh.]

When's your birthday?

[video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 04:44:35 UTC

February 13th. I wonder if I'll still be there then.

Suppose I'm nineteen right now if we're counting how long I've been here in Adstringendum. Going to be twenty in December.

How old were you when you got here?

siriuslymagical September 9 2011, 04:55:53 UTC

It was the end of my Sixth year at Hogwarts, so I had just turned seventeen a few months before that. I have one of those birthdays where I was born too late to be in the year above mine, but I'm always going to end school technically a year older than most.

kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 05:02:44 UTC

You've gone to school your whole life, then?

[Yeah, that's the part that Katara's taken away from that.]

We don't keep track of birthdays, or even have them in the traditional sense.

[Video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 04:53:26 UTC

It's a little different in your case, though, isn't it?

[Video] wingsandwill September 9 2011, 04:57:42 UTC

It is, yes.

I would not consider those here aging in the traditional sense, however.

[Video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 05:01:52 UTC

Maybe not in the traditional sense, but.. I've lived that extra year. And I feel older.

It's been a year for me, too. I call it older!

[Video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 05:22:14 UTC

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks so. Sokka thought it was silly.

[Video] buntails September 9 2011, 05:23:35 UTC

No way! We went through a year, right? It should count!

[Behind the smile is a serious thought: If nothing here counts, if it's all for nothing, she can't handle that.

Better to believe somewhere, it means something.]

[Video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 05:24:49 UTC

Right. Just because some magic keeps my body from aging doesn't mean that the time doesn't count.

Personally, I don't see the point of keeping track.

[video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 06:24:48 UTC

But why not? We're older, even if our bodies aren't aging.

[video] population_ctrl September 9 2011, 06:34:48 UTC

Does it truly matter, though? By counting years, you're only counting empty numbers.

[video] kyasdaughter September 9 2011, 06:46:00 UTC

No, you're counting time. It's not empty. Time means a lot of things.
