<-------Is Seventeen. Anyone remember how lame sixteen was? Sweet sixteen and I went out like, three time every month. Not saying it wasn't fun, but those sweet 16 movies are increadibly misleading (where's my awesome road trip full of money, girls, fun and trouble? You owe me!). Anyways, Seventeen is cool, school is ok, and I'm probably going out later, for downtown calls my name.

I'm 14 right now, I'll be 15 not long after Christmas. I currently have no job, although that may change. I am thinking about applying to be either a bagboy or a stockboy at one of two large supermarket stores, both of which are fairly nearby my house. One is only a half hour bike ride, while the other is a 45 minute bike ride. The second one pays $1.25 more than the first, so I think I'll probably go there first. I am currently single, and I actually prefer it that way. I am a deeply private person. (private enough that I don't go to one of my parent's homes anymore unless I am forced to because I have to share a room with an obnoxious melodramatic younger brother) Girlfriends generally want to know something about you other than your name. (Hehe) I do have a few female friends, but nobody I go out with. I currently have 5 dollars and small change. I own a computer, but it is made of random parts my dad collected over the years. All of my clothes are either from Goodwill/thriftstore, too small, or are closeout sales from a decent store. I will maybe be able to drive when I turn 16, I figure I'll start dating more when I have a car. Cars are cool, and I'll get my liscense before any of my friends do, so I may have to at least be a chaufuer(sp) for a while.

hmm since everyone does updates I guess i should to. I'm still single and can't complain since i ahve college to pay for. and i just had a $275 doller reduction in my bank accounts. sigh, you gotta love addictive hobbies. I'm sure I will wuv my shrimpies ^ ^ all 57 of them.

Wow, you're all so young! So many teenagers!

I'm 36, turning 37 late November. I'm the first vote in my age range

I'm happily married, have two children (who are 4 and almost 6), mainly good health, a job which I enjoy more often than not, and many good friends who we catch up with regularly. So, I'm pretty happy with my lot (if not the state of the world at large).

Oh, and being a vegetarian, I have no tuna either

As of now it is almost my 16th birthday (the 23rd) and I just might finally get the computer I've obsessed over getting for two years. (I have to use public ones...). Though it is still unlikely.....


I just might get WoW and no computer though...

Im 16 and also have no gf... Come from the UK!! which makes a change from most of u americans . I dont understand have some of u have barely any friends, i have loads!, not boasting or anything.

It's because we're Americans. See, even we don't want to hang out with ourselves.

I might be getting a job soon. There's a place that will hire me a few weeks before my birthday, if they still need help. I know when I'll be old enough to work there because my mom's boyfriend works there, (he has two jobs, one of them is there) and he asked for me.

Huzzah! All gather around and rejoice!, for I have been gifted my new computer!

Woot! congrats

Congrats on the computer. Is it a good one?

I still have no job. (Damn those strict child labor laws! They're meant for people who don't live on three hours of sleep a day anyways, they shouldn't apply to me!)

My computer is painted <autocensor, not actually painted> up. It hates me. Every forty minutes or so, or whenever I leave my computer, and it isn't actually opening a new page, it dissconnects from the internet. I found a way around needing to restart my computer to regain my internet connection. Now I just have to run MSN messenger, it tells me I can't connect, and they can try to repair it, and so far, it almost always works.

And as for your new slogan, no thank you.

Well It is somewhat good, I lag on WoW extremely in IronForge (lags beyond the ability to function). The internet is good and it is much better than I suspected. I have no job as well, this was a family gift (we recived cash from the goverment over some obscure thing) and they bought all 9 kids this one computer. As you might guess it is highly contested.

Ah. So, it's decent, but not top-of-the-line.

Te way I explained my computer to my friends is like this: "When it works, it's better than the Pentagon. When it crashes, it brings down the economies of small countries with it." That's a bit of an exxaggeration, naturally. If I had a computer better than the Pentagon, they'd kill me and take it. If I brought down the economy of a small country, they'd hire an assassin as soon as their economy was up again. I seem fairly alive to me, so obviously I exaggerated a bit.

My mom and dad live sepparately, and they each have a computer at their house. My mother's computer gets about one frame an hour on Morrowind, to give you an idea of how bad it is. It has internet, broadband in fact, because it's only a bit more expensive than AOL, and we can use our phone and it's much faster. At my dad's house, we have three computers. One is my dad's, the other two are mine. Kind of. The one is for everyone, but I'm the only one who uses it, partially because I'm the only one who ever gets a chance to. My two younger siblings are only here mornings and nights. I don't sleep nights, and I'm here for a few hours after school. The other computer, the one that really is mine, is a gift from my dad, his old computer which he totally destroyed, and bought a new one and gave this one to me rather than fix it. He managed to total the power source. How he did that is beyond me, he is an IT guy, and has worked with computers his whole life, but he managed to wreck this one prettty well. I did manage to get it working, after wrestling with getting all the parts back inside, installing Windows XP Pro, getting all that stuff set up, and the power core blew again. It works every now and then, if I'm really careful to jiggle the switched just right, but mostly it sits there.

Oh, and we also have a Commodore 64, which is currently being used as my doorstop, because my idiot brother broke my door by running into it repeatedly untill the doorknob broke off on both sides, as well as the lock and everything else. I think I had it locked, and I wasn't home, and he didn't know that, and he wanted to ask me something. Or something like that. Or maybe I was home, and he ran into it repeatedly because he has ADHD and seventeen different mental issues. Either one works.

My mother's computer, I never use. That's the kiddies' computer. I never touch it. The only thing I do at my mother's house is sleep (I'm there from 5 pm-9 pm, I don't sleep much at night) eat dinner, and wash dishes every other day or so, when it's my turn.

I can see how having nine kids and one computer can be a problem. We don't have that problem at my house, because at any given time, we have one computer that works, and only three kids, instead of one. If we're at my mother's house, I'm sleeping, my sister is on the computer, and my brother is playing violent bloody horrible games. Or my brother and sister switch places, I don't care, I'm asleep. Or my mother plays solitaire and the two of them fight over that is cheap is a multiplayer game. If we're at my dad's house, I'm on the computer, and they're sleeping, or they are watching the TV.

How do you manage schedules with the nine kids? I mean, for me, I can manage this as a schedule because we never have more than two people fighting over a computer, but with nine? The way we used to run it was we each got half hour turns, but that sucks. I mean, what can you do in half an hour? Not much. Much longer than that, though, and you have people using the computer all the time, and some parents don't like that.

My family used to use half hour turns, but now we've switched to an hour.

Anyways (back on topic), I am indeed still 15, I do however (as of yesterday) have Ninja Gaiden Black. 'Tis super awesome.

I thought the forums were a bit older being so mature, seems like 13-17 is winning, but then I have huge prejudice on all 13 - 15 years old people

I'm 19 myself.

no car, no license and especially no girlfriend

but then I have a job, I have money and especially a good computer

Edit: Man, that sounds pathetic.. poor me...
