OK, maybe the title should have been turned 19, because strictly speaking today was (still is) my birthday.

My twin brother and I both turned 19 today (pretty obvious), so 19 years on this beautiful blue planet of ours, and I've still to figure out the subtleties of life. Today didn't actually feel too special, probably because I believe everyday should be as special as the day before and as the day which follows. Today just marked 19 full years of existence (should be 19 years and 9 months), but there wasn't alot to feel.

I've spent the past two years visiting this forum, and I truly believe BF2s is a wonderfully tightknit (albeit with some lonewolves) community. It is amazing that we may never see each other and meet each other in person, but we can still maintain a friendship over the internet.

Next year we'll hit the 2-0. I think that will really be a milestone because the moment you get a 2 infront of your age people treat you more like an adult.

To all of you who have not yet passed your teenage years, I say this: cherish your childhood, adulthood is a big, hectic, sometimes rewarding world where progress is key. Responsibilities will get dumped onto you, some good and others not so good, and most likely you'll forget your innocence as a kid. Have fun!

And to all those who have more experience than I do (older members), I say this: I hope you're enjoying your life, there is so much to live for in the world of adulthood if you seek it, but don't neglect your inner child! Soon, we will be joining you in the ranks of perceived adulthood, and become brethren of our beautiful blue planet!

Yeah, i reckon that's pretty cool. Its even better when you join the forums, then a couple of days later you see some of the members In-Game, you join their squad,and they realise who you are, You play together and absolutely OWN as a team!!!

EDIT: BTW Vub, what Aussie servers do you play in?

19 isn't the most spectacular birthday. It's a small step up from 18, it's like 18, part 2. Doesn't mean anything. 20 isn't much different either, though for the first week or so I was thinking "Holy shit, I'm 20! 2 decades! That's old!" And then you realize it's really no big deal at all. I'm going to feel real old in a few months when I hit 21, but then I'll also be feeling really drunk... but then again, I've felt that way many times before I turn 21

Congrats to you both and have a fun time!

Thank you all for your birthday wishes.

To Ty: Wow, you know I lived in NZ for 4.5 years This is freaking me out...

To Peter Griffin: I play mostly on Internode, because I can get decent ping. TPG is a pretty bad gaming ISP.

Happy birthday to the both of you!


So, either got any advice for someone who has their trial HSC next week (and of course their actual HSC later this year...)?

Haha, thanks mate.

OK, I think this is the most important thing about the HSC.

Do your best, that's all that you can ask of yourself. Prepare for your trials diligently, but make sure you get enough sleep! I can't stress that enough. I remember staying up to 3 am the night before the 4U exam, and then completely stuffing up that exam (I lost my first in the grade at that point ). Do not be disheartened if you don't perform as well as you'd hoped, there is still 50% of your assessments after that!

Keep going! Be confident before you go into the exam. The best way to feel confident is to do past trial papers until you're sick of them

Also, do not cease to work in the period after the trials. A fatal mistake that many of my friends made was to stop working and burn out after the trials. You've got to put in just as much, if not more, work into the actual HSC!

Have faith in yourself. Anything's possible with a bit of diligence and commitment!

You know, I think sometimes before the earth was born, space time ripped and caused a ripple which has substantiated in the form of two sets of twins celebrating their 19th birthdays in the same year, both frequenting BF2s and both living in Australia.

OK, we'll meet at the border

wow happy birthday man. i just turned 19 this year as well and i can completely empathise with you about the childhood thing. i still think about everything i use to do but can't now and sometimes it makes me a bit sad to tell you the truth. one thing that really shocked me was the amount of responsibility that you have to take on when you go to uni because its its nothing like high school. i was actually in sydney last night at the metro theatre seeing the editors if you know who they are. anyway happy birthday and i might see you online sometime cause i'm usually on node too.
