text: shin.o. / age???

[mindthebass]

just wondering something.


what year were you born and how old are you? i'm from 1983, and last i remember, it was 2001. there are people who are close in age but are from different years in the future, making me old relatively, and i hate this.

... am i old to you?

(nope, 1985. still, he's sad.)

Comments

[mindthebass]

i don't drive

so i just sleep and let our manager do his thing

[eyediot]

Ah.

Ride services, then.

[Jon those didn't exist yet.]

[mindthebass]

what does riding have to do with cars

(he took it elsewhere.)

[eyediot]

Ride shares? Like Uber or-

[Wait. He said 2001. Fuuuuck why doesn't he have the Beholding so he can just Know when ride shares started.]

It was a program you can request a driver. Sort of a taxi service but without strict fares.

[mindthebass]

oh.

yeah.

still. i don't think we really could. we get swarmed easily

[eyediot]

As long as whatever your manager does works, I suppose.

[Must be some sort of musician. From the conversation before and now this. He's so curious.]

Did you also say you're a musician as well?

[mindthebass]

he does his best.

yep. bassist from a punk band in japan

[eyediot]

That makes sense, then.

And I suppose here you haven't had any issue? With the paparazzi, I mean.

[mindthebass]

(.......................... worse but ok)

our singer has been in a relationship with our rival band's guitarist. that got leaked.

i myself, haven't. i'm particular about my privacy.

[eyediot]

[DEEPLY UNFORTUNATE.]

Understandable. I would be too, if I were in your situation.

[mindthebass]

well, considering they were number one in japan and it pushed us right to the top, it worked out in the end.

[eyediot]

Hm. Something to be said for publicity, no matter the context.

I can't imagine having my life on display like that.

[Jon.]

[mindthebass]

well.

just lie, i guess.

[eyediot]

Perhaps.

And to answer your original question, no. You don't seem old to me.

[mindthebass]

companies do that all the time. don't believe in any artist's background, height, weight or anything like it. it's their job to make you appealing, after all.

i am not, right?????

[eyediot]

I rarely believe what's presented in front of me anyway.

And no. If you had been brought from the same year as me, you'd only be a few years older than me. But I doubt you'd seem it then either.

[mindthebass]

good for you. you shouldn't.

i can't imagine how it's like to be older, anyway.

[eyediot]

It's not all it's cracked up to be, really.

[Nevermind if Shin was from the same year Jon is, Shin would be older.]

[mindthebass]

i'm not really interested.

[eyediot]

Then don't, I suppose.

[mindthebass]

HOW

[eyediot]

Beats me. It's not really my area of expertise.

[Now if Elias or Rayner were here, they could give all the details.]

[mindthebass]

YOU'RE NOT HELPING!!!!!!

[eyediot]

Sorry. Genuinely. I suppose just keep doing what you love and stay young at heart.

[mindthebass]

still figuring that one out.

specially since i'm on my own.
