Heh. I don't know any who are living off the state, but plenty who are living off Mom and Dad.

And plenty more living off of DH.

I ebf, sah, don't shave, eat organic and DC only used cloth diapers. Seems like things haven't changed much around here.

I'm not yet 30 and get asked a lot if I'm a college kid. I like it.


It's funny how the hippies never have to work.



Jealous much? judgmental b!tch.

I was working until the day I went into labor. It's been 5 mo since my baby was born.

It's NOYB but I'll go back to work whenever I feel comfortable leaving my baby with someone else. We planed ahead and can happly afford living this way.

Now: masters degree, working in job I love, married mom of 2 living in suburbs married to former jock.


PP, I feel like we should have been friends. I was also a wanna-be goth who loved the Cure and the Misfits. I actually went to a Robert Smith concert and was in heaven. Either way, to make OP feel better..my goth phase only lasted about a year and a half. After that I was surprisingly pretty popular and with the 'in' crowd.

Now, I'd say I turned out pretty normal. Married to college sweetheart, 2 kids, living in the burbs, stable jobs for both. Still like fashionable clothing as I did in my 'popular' phase, but still do like the Cure as well!

Bookish, depressed, angry, political jock.

Now much less depressed and angry, but still a political bookish jock and now a PhD nearing 6 figures in salary. (Never expected to be making that much money!)

A smart kid and runner. A little dorky. Heart-throb to the really dorky boys.

Now, with a PhD in the sciences, married to a really dorky (but lovable) guy.

Left a small town and am by far way more interesting/accomplished than my friends in HS-they all got married and had kids at 19 or 20, didn't go to college and most never left the small town.


Do you sometimes think about moving back to escape the big city?


Sometimes, though I don't think I could move to a small town permanently. I love living in the city but would probably retire in a smaller town, or, if/when we have more money, have a city home AND a country home

My friend was the loser stoner drop-out (of college, not high school). After years of floundering, including some really awful things that were out of her control, like being widowed in her 20's, she now is clean and sober, lives with her parents, and has a "real" job. Took 37 years, and she's kind of stuck back where most 22 year olds are, but she's making it work.

I can tell our ideas of happiness are very very different.

And being jealous is so low! You should spend your energy pursuyin your idea of happiness instead of tryin to bash others who seem happier than you. You'll never succeed behaving like this.

Maybe reviewing your priorities would be a great way to start. GL

I'm the stoner loser who felt like she couldn't go to college due to poor GPA (and poor parents, which is why I fulfilled a self fulfilled prophecy of not being able to go to college). Fast foward. Floundered for many years, dating "bad" boys, as well as successful guys who wanted to "save" me. Anyway, went back to school at 27, graduated with a 4.0 GPA (that's what happens when you go back to school as an adult), have a great job, married a great guy (with a good job as well - big law), we have 2 kids and live in the burbs. I look back and have many regrets as I cringe at some of my bad choices, but all in all the end result is where I am supposed to be and I am happy. I hope to be able to help my kids not make some of the same mistakes as I did, but if they do, I have hopes that they can over come them and lead good productive lives as somehw I managed to.

Then -- smart/popular but not very likeable

Now -- smartish, frumpy, happy, a lot nicer than I used to be

My kids are my priority, as is shaving.
