So, should I do it like this?
そこはさあ (not sure how this is used.
Or that.

のんびりした所で 暮らせば//少しは人間丸くなるとでも思ったのかしれないけど
If I live in a easy going place//
ま 体のいい厄介払いね
But that's a nice way of saying good riddance, huh?

Context: One guy is saying this to another guy.
命短し//恋せよ乙女。。。か
Life is short.//Fall in love, young maiden. (or is it fall in love with a young maiden?)

Context: One guy asked if he dated someone and he answered:
それなり。。。かな


知ってること
Things that I know
知らないこと
Things that I don't know
1年の人生の差

気になることがいっぱいあって
There are a lot of things I'm bothered by.

Context: Lightning strikes
こえー


たぶんここでならうまくやってける気がする
Perhaps I feel that I'll manage being successful here

Alright, let's see... I don't feel like explaining much today, so... just a lot of possible translations. If you really would like me to, I'll explain more later.

そこはさあ = Well, about that...

のんびりした所で 暮らせば//少しは人間丸くなるとでも思ったのかしれないけど = I wonder if you won't become a better human, if you live in a peaceful place.
- It's hard to say anything about this without proper context, but...

少しは = a little
人間 = human
丸くなる = get well-rounded, be softened
とでも思った = think something like
かしれないけど = ??? (I think it's a form of かしら = I wonder if...)

ま 体のいい厄介払いね = Well, ???
- again, it's a hard construction and without any context I'm afraid I won't be able to say much about it. (Unless I do some real lot of research.)

命短し//恋せよ乙女。。。か = Life is short, ???
- I need more context to decide on the second part... What is their whole conversation about? For now I can only say for sure it's a question... probably asked by the speaker to him/herself.

それなり。。。かな = Something like that... I guess.

知ってること // 知らないこと // 1年の人生の差 = Things I know, // things I don't know, // it's the difference that one year of life makes.
- Again, a little bit of context would be nice for this one, but...

気になることがいっぱいあって = There are many things that bother me.

こえー = Scary!
- From こわい【怖い】 = frightening, scary, dreadful, hair-raising, etc.

たぶんここでならうまくやってける気がする = I think it'll probably be easier from here on, since we came this far already.
- Context?


So, next time you ask help... it would be better if you give a bit more context or link to the actual pages. ^-^ That would make it easier for the people who try to help you.

Or that.
Without context, I can't tell for sure if そこ means that (like Sohma Riku said) or the place.

About that ... / That ...
About the place ...


のんびりした所で 暮らせば//少しは人間丸くなるとでも思ったのかしれないけど
If I live in a easy going place//
ま 体のいい厄介払いね
But that's a nice way of saying good riddance, huh?
Here is my guess without context:

He* might have thought that I/you would calm down when I/you live somewhere laid back, but he probably just wanted to get rid of me/you.

He*: "思ったのかしれない" shows that there is a 3rd person who suggested "me/you(or whoever)" to live in a rural place or something.
"ま 体のいい厄介払いね
But that's a nice way of saying good riddance, huh?" <---- fine

Context: One guy is saying this to another guy.
命短し//恋せよ乙女。。。か
Life is short.//Fall in love, young maiden. (or is it fall in love with a young maiden?)
Your "Fall in love, young maiden." is fine.

EDIT/ADD: ...か  
..., or so they say.

Context: One guy asked if he dated someone and he answered:
それなり。。。かな

I guess somewhat.

知ってること
Things that I know
知らないこと
Things that I don't know
1年の人生の差
Sohma Riku's tl sounds good.

There are 2 people, and it is about what one person knows/don't know comes from the 1 year difference between them.

気になることがいっぱいあって
There are a lot of things I'm bothered by.
fine but "that bother me" is better.

Context: Lightning strikes
こえー
Sohma Riku answered.

Scary!

たぶんここでならうまくやってける気がする
Perhaps I feel that I'll manage being successful here
I think I'll be ok here.
