Where is this chat? I can't find it.

Tada!

I got my permit yesterday!
Yeah, you guys might not know this about me, but I've never had any desire to drive. I'm gonna be 27 in a couple months and just got my permit.

And I practiced driving tonight! For a whole hour! And I didn't even crash!!

I got my permit yesterday!

Congratulations Val!

Make sure to hit the pedal on the right as hard as possible when pulling into a parking space

[Lia S]

Awesome, Val!

I am very close to 34 now, and have no permit <.<

[Valerie]

Awesome, Val!

Hey, it's okay. I'm almost 27. Hell, my great aunt doesn't have a license. I don't think she ever has.

Wait you're younger than me? I could have sworn you were older.

Hey Bubbles! Long time no see.

Of course, Lia lives in a country where you can get about anywhere you'd want to by biking, walking, public transport or a combination of these...

So, I've been thinking ever since returning to the board how to make this post.. I was hoping to wait till it came up in conversation but the conversation isn't going anything like the way I need it to to bring it up so I guess I'll just. Go for it? Thing is.

-points at signature- That sir wasn't as far off the mark as we thought, back when we thought I was mostly straight and mostly a girl.

I've been going by Theo these days. And I guess it belongs in the happy thread because I'm much happier since it happened.

[svenman]

Oh, wow. Good on you, then, and congratulations! *offers high five*

By the way, happy thing for me, though by now two weeks old: new job after 16 months of being unemployed. I'm quite pleased with the new job so far, and not only because of the obvious improvement over having none.

I could've sworn you were younger than me. o_o You just have that youthful spirit, I guess. Fire in your belly and all that.

That's awesome! I'm happy that you're happier! (I'll try to use the correct pronouns for you, but I'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance in case I get it wrong.)

Congratulations on the new job!
