Goodbye Teen Years

tinser by tinserOG 2002 · Sep 17, 2003 · 460 views

So, last night we were talking about how horrible turning 20 is (only one month now). You are no longer a teenager...but you still can't have alcohol...or be able to rent a car in other states (only some states let you do that at 21).

So, we've decided to eliminate 20. From now on, when you are 19, you will automatically turn 21. No more twenty year olds.

"sigh"..the years fly by so freakin quick!!..god....I'm still not used to the 20 thing..funny how it's nothing more than a number, and we don't even celebrate our birthdays, but, it still feels like it has soooo much significance...the word "teenager" carries so much meaning, feels really weird when, what you've been for 7 years, is all of a sudden gone...

tinser #8.1 tinserOG 2002

tell me about it.....ahhhh...18 more days until i am no longer a teen

ophelia #8.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

you'll be fine...lol, it's gota happen sometime I guess...it's just crazy how time works though...@ freshman year....the seniors seemed SO much older than us...and now...we're even older than what we thought was so far ahead of us..I want a freakin time machine

tesoro #8.1.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

wow. yea thats so true.

i know, im gonna be 16 in one month. it feels wierd, almost like im really still 10

ophelia #8.2.1 opheliaOG 2003

dude, haha, savor yer teen years while you can...(I can't believe I can say that!..AHH!!!..I'M A DINOSAUR!!!)

tesoro #8.2.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

when i just read your comment about being a dinosaur..i envisioned the grampa from DINOSAURS! (rememebr that show? i liked it)

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

FREAKIN YEAH!!!!.....I LOVED THAT SHOW!!!....haha, the baby used to call his dad, "not the mama"...hahaha

tinser tinserOG 2002

haha, yeah....i remember that

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

That really was one of the best ideas ever. Let's have a TGI Friday family soap opera only they're all dinosaurs!

thatdarngirl #8.2.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Treasure every moment of senior year because it's super easy and then you gotta actually read and work.

J
#8.2.2.1 jollycandymanOG 2001

well im homeschooling now, so i wont have a senior year

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

That's kinda sad. Do you interact with imaginery friends a lot?

J
jollycandymanOG 2001

oh yeah constatly, why do you ask?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Morbid curiosity.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

yo no offense to u, i don't know you and this comment is not about you, BUT, does ne body else notice that some homeschooled kids r a lil ... different?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I would use the term 'socially challenged' It doesn't happen to everyone but sometimes it's hard because there isn't as much social interaction going on. This usually only happens if you are homeschooled for a long time as a kid.

malibu #8.2.3 malibuOG 2001

man opie i always forget that you're younger than me............ perhaps its cuz you're so much taller than me.

J
#8.2.3.1 jollycandymanOG 2001

perhaps...how old are you know?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 offtopic

I'm assuming you meant "now"...(SEE!!..I can moderate!!!..& here's the evidence!!..VOTE BRYAN FOR FOOD FORUM PRESIDENT!!..I MEAN MODERATOR!)

Paid for by members of the EZABELERS FOR BRYAN campaign

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

why should i vote for you and not malibu? because she's a girl. and girls and food kind of go together.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

ohooo! not malibu and food

malibu malibuOG 2001

hey i can cook. i've been learning and am now very good. burt and john could not get enough of the treats i made last nite.

toxicgirlOG 2003

Whoa holy sexist comment. You practically just said, "A woman's place is in the kitchen."

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

YES, I noticed that too...If you look @ the ad for my campaign, in the food forum, you will specifically see stated, that, if inducted, I will fight for womens rights on ezabel - puting chauvanists such as Mr. Hill in their place.

tinser tinserOG 2002

why fight for women? they should have no rights...the perfect world would be just men

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

See, if I were moderator, comments like these would dissapear....THE HANDS DOWN VIDEO'S ON!!!...i've never seen this

T
toxicgirlOG 2003

Who is your campaign manager? Cuz I'm looking for some part-time work.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 toxicgirl

well, it's 25 hours a week, you get paid bi-weekly (it pays in oreos-3 packs an hour)..and benifits include dental, and flood insurance...sound like something you'd be interested in?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ophelia

Oh I AM! No one else will hire me based on the fact that when I take personality exams they find out that I am a loon.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 thatdarngirl

oh stop it, you're perfectly sane...i'll email you over an application...going to need a resume too, and two forms of ID

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ophelia

considering the fact that i am a dental hygienist and i can get my teeth cleaned at school for free the rest of my life...the benefits package is looking kinda lame. i say give the job to thatdarngirl.

malibu malibuOG 2001

dude. i totally accept dan's sexist comment if it made me get to be the food moderator. but no. all of you stink.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

shut it richard!!!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

i hear this alot, but for me, 20 was my best year ever by far. i had more freedoms than I had ever had, and the best year of my life. Not to mention i met ceratto, jeremy jenkins, the karas boys, and the rest of the warwick crew at 20. i went to the beach about twice a week that summer and i capped off my 20th year with the most amazing and memorable trip to okemo ever. I loved being 20!
