KnotMyProblem: Are you serious?
LoveHarley: now i feel old
TeenDad2: HARLEY!!!
TeenDad2: you’re not old
LoveHarley: hi TD. thnx
TeenDad2: Like, logically I knew it’d been a while, but… wow
TeenDad2: It doesn’t feel like that long at all
TeenDad2: Why does time pass at hyperspeed when you’re an adult?? I remember when I was a kid a summer seemed to last an eternity, and now it’s like, a month feels like it lasts a day and a year lasts two weeks, tops
xVerity: There’s actually science behind that phenomenon, but I’m not a great physicist and I can’t hope to do it justice.
TeenDad2: To google!
KnotMyProblem: Funny how you guys will google things when they’re not about authors pulling the strings of our lives
LoveHarley: sounds like a soap opera
KnotMyProblem: If by “soap opera” you mean “nightmare,” sure
Gwynning: I can’t believe we’ve been friends for almost a decade
GlitterDoctor: No wonder you guys lost your shit when I joined unexpectedly. You’d isolated yourself from society for so long that you forgot what normal people look like
KnotMyProblem: HAHAHA. Glit, you think you’re NORMAL?
KnotMyProblem: The only reason you didn’t run as fast as you could in the opposite direction from this chat is because you fit right in
GlitterDoctor: That’s where you’re wrong. I stay for the popcorn
GlitterDoctor: The whole Face-Punch Saga alone was worth it
Gwynning: None of you are ever going to let me live that down, are you?
KnotMyProblem: Nope
Gwynning: SIGH
TeenDad2: So that means we have sixteen years to go before our twenty-fifth anniversary… what should we do??
KnotMyProblem: Have a barbecue, crack open maybe one beer each, and head home early so we can all go to bed
xVerity: Sounds like a party to me.
TeenDad2: Why one beer?
KnotMyProblem: Because most of us will be old, and we probably won’t be able to drink more than one without feeling like we got run over by a truck after waking up the next morning
TeenDad2: LOL
TeenDad2: What about next year though? It’ll be our tenth anniversary!
GlitterDoctor: The internet says the tenth anniversary is supposed to be aluminum/tin, which sounds boring AF
