An amazing three-quarters under thirty!
I hardly know what to say.
Maybe I should change my logon name to Rip, as in van Winkel, . . . . . but it sounds younger.
74 and, no, no words of advice. :)
Lots of good memories, though.

I'm stuck in my age bracket for a while :p I turn 21 in March...wooo legal all over again! lol...
When you grow up knowing that 21 is legal (for clubbing and drinking), and then move at the age of 16 to a place where 18 is legal, you celebrate 18 but then you go back to visit and you're not legal again...it takes away the magic of the age...
I guess it all doesn't matter, since no matter how you look at it I've been clubbing since 18 and there's no changing that...
Since the only way I know of to stop aging is to die..turning 46 isn't so bad after all:p
I'll be 21 in March...don't know how to feel about it. I like being 20...oh well, c'est la vie!
Just turned 16.
Well said. I have come close to buying the farm a couple of times, and that tends to put things in a different light. Experience counts for a lot more than racking up a certain number of birthdays...Quote:

I'm going to take a moment to pout, so bear with me.
:bawling: I turned 25 this December, so I have begun to weep for my wasted youth.
Its depressing. I'm a quarter of a century old. I have lived 1/4 of my estimated life. Its enough to make one go out and get something pierced and tatooed and drink alcohol shots off of a sweaty guy named Chad! :bawling:
:blush: not that I did that or anything.
Why would that be depressing? Note the very good point made by abecedarian in the previous post. Cheer up :DQuote:

Not sure why but this birthday just hit me really hard. *sigh* I think it's because I'm still unsure of where I want to go with my life, not to mention all of my friends (all but 1!!!!) got married this year or had a baby or graduated. *grumbles* damned over-achievers.Quote:

:lol: Ah... I see. But hey: look at it this way: I'm nearly twice your age, and I still wonder what I'll do when I grow up. :p Besides, I left a lot of things late too, and I have no regrets in that respect.Quote:

Very cool! You should look forward to driving, gives you some power! :) I am going to learn to drive when I turn 15 too and am rather excited, I will have to start saving for an electric car.Quote:

What are you saying about my dad? :flare: :lol: Yes, it does sound a bit slimy.Quote:

And wow, we have some great kids! I'd have never guessed how young some of y'all are, you sound very sophisticated, etc, etc.
I'll be eighteen. I dislike the fact that eighteen means freedom because I have seen too much of what being younger than eighteen can do to imprison people in bad situations. And seeing all the incredibly smart minors here illustrates even more what a big laugh it is that the world thinks under eighteen = stupid and helpless. But I'm thankful that I myself am finally reaching this age.
Very good point. That may in fact be one of several reasons to why I like it so much here. There is a lot of bright young (and some not so young ;) )people here. People with minds still open and receptive, and yet as you say, very sophisticated. Good on you, all! :thumbs_upQuote:

I'm about to turn 20. Which seems incredibly ancient, I never thought I would actually make it out of my teens.
The big 20, after a year of being 19 it’s quite a shock to the system. I can no longer be an irresponsible teen.
I grow old…I grow old…
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think they will sing to me.

My song too!

i'll be 38, but was thinking that i'd be 37 - a sure sign of age, i've finally begun to lie about it to myself! :D
Not really lie, they call it denial these days :p
I'll be 17 in september!!! it sounds so scary. At last I'll be able to drive!!!!!
But I'll start THINKING that I'm 17 in March, brecause that's when all my friends will alreeady be 17. But I fully intend to make the most of my 16-ness until september.
