WELCOME, FELLOW ADULTS!!

Over 30, still playing computer games? Love comics? How about anime' and regular cartoons? Do you collect/play with/customize toys? Love avatar communities (like Avaricia ^_^)?
Have you just decided that it's not worth being a "Grown-Up", and prefer to be an "Old Kid"?

ME TOO!!

Growing old is mandatory; Growing up is optional!

We gimps know how to PAR-TAY! w00t!!
LOL j/k It's a pretty mild thread- but we need more members so that will can eventually be the PAR-TAY Central of Avaricia!! XD

EDIT: Kiddiss learned that you cannot use the bbc code [align=center] LOL

BANNERS!!!

I'll add the code later for those of you who don't know how to make a link in your siggie...but here are the banners I made for us oldbies ^_^






These are just images so far- you can direct link them (meaning you don't have to save them to your computer then load them to your own Photobucket).

I'll add the code to make them links for your siggies (if you want to put them in your siggie, that is ^_^) when I am feeling a bit better.

I just wanted to share these with you guys and see what you think.
If you think they need to be re-sized, please let me know.
I can easily do that in Photobucket *nod*

If anyone else wants to make a banner (or banners), PLEASE DO!! :3
The more the merrier!! <3

EDIT: Here is the code for the smallest banner (the one in my siggie)- it links right to page 1 *nod*

Code:

You just cut and paste that into your siggie (if you want to) ^_^

~Waits for the hoards of 30-somethings and beyond to come rushing in~

I think there are 4 of us on site right now But there are a bunch of 20 to 30
heres a thread if you want to see age demographics,
http://avariciarpg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=282

Definitely over 30. Some days I feel older than others . . . Some weeks too. This seems to be one of them. Having a family party on the weekend and was hoping to lose some of them out in or by the pool, but with the weather we are having, I don't think that is going to happen. I think I have to get more appetizers if they are going to hang out in the house. I better look for sporting events on TV for them to watch too.

I feel the same way Sporky as you well know. Im 100 today But Ill be back to 21 with 21 ears exp by thurday Im hoping.

If the weather ever gets any warmer, I might feel a bit younger. It feels more like fall than heading into summer thus far.

We had no spring it went from winter to summer in a week, it was Nice then it snowed again then it was nice now its been blazing hot, upper 80's and 90's now its looking to rain for the next few days LOL late spring rains I guess.

We've had lots of rain and only one 80 degree day. One was originally predicted for Thursday, now they say that we are only to get into the upper 50's.

We had a little heat wave come through Phoenix this last weekend. It got up to 110F (that was actually a record high). It is supposed to be back down to the 80's by the weekend (and maybe a little bit of rain *hopes for rain*).

Thanks for the link to the demographic thingy I'll take a look at it when I'm more lucid. I've been up for ... geeze, I don't even know how long... long enough that my eyes burn LOL

As for this coming weekend, it's gonna be quiet around here ^_^
Luckily, I don't have much family around- just my Mom and then my in-laws- both live a fair distance from me.
I do miss seeing my Mom ever since I moved 25 miles north and west in Phoenix (she lives in the Southeast part of the Valley in Chandler- which is about 60 miles from me). My in-laws (parents) live in a tiny town called Yarnel, which is about 2.5 hours drive from here (3 hours if it's anyone buy my race-car-driver-husband-creature )

I don't know where my big brother lives- and I could give a rat's ass. I disowned him in 2002. My baby brother (same age as my husband...lol... so funny that I married a guy the age of my baby brother) lives in a small town in California. I haven't seen him in 16 years I would love to visit him and meet my nephew... he's the only one of us three kids in the family to have a child (so far). My brother is 40 and I'm 37 (and "fixed"), so I don't think there will be any kids from either of us.

Even my sister-in-law, Amber, and her 3 kids live about an hour away from us now. As the Phoenix Metro area grows bigger, people are moving farther and farther away from the center.
Amber lives in a city called Surprise. I used to joke that it was named that because anyone who came upon that town was SURPRISED to find people there...now it is a thriving community, and an extension of Phoenix Metro *shakes head*
Man, how things have changed in just the 11 years I've lived here. (OH, Dear GOD...11 years in this hell hole! Somebody save me, PLEASE!
Honestly, I hate it here. I only moved here to get away from my ex-husband.).

And lastly, my husband-creature's other sister, Misty, lives in NC, so we never see them. Oh.. I almost forgot, his big brother. My husband-creature (Eric or Munki... he goes by both) has pretty much disowned his older brother, too. The guy is my age and is trying to live like a 21-year-old... which really sucks because he's got 3 kids that he is supposed to be helping support. He's a dead-beat dad

So, whilst you guys are partying with the fams, Munki and I will be hanging out at the house watching movies or something lame like that. I will have to give my Mom a call on Monday because she is a Vietnam Vet.
Yes, I'm a War Baby... both of my parents were in the military- my Mom got out a few months after they got married because she got pregnant on their wedding night (and back then, married pregnant women were given an Honorable Discharge {medical}, whereas unmarried women who got pregnant got an "Other Than Honorable" Discharge {at least it wasn't Dishonorable discharge}. But my poor Mom getting preggers the first time she "did it" How much does that suck? Instant family, just add water (OK, so it wasn't water Kekekeke).
Anyway, my dad stayed in for 23 years, so I had the total military up-bringing. Oh, and I disowned my father in 1986... so I don't have to worry about him, either)

Okay, enough babble from me. Now you know why I am called the Queen of the Wall o' Text :XP LOL

I hope you guys have a good week and have plenty of time to prepare for the upcoming holiday (here in the US, at least).

Are there any holidays going on in other parts of the world? I ask because I know that Ava is a WORLD WIDE Community- and I don't like to leave anyone out

Cheers!!

Hello, I am over 30, shh don't tell anyone! LOL
