Adult Escapists?

[ccesarano]

I don't see the humour, I said I think we are more mature then most other people our age.

Yeah, so did I when I was a kid. It's part of being a kid. Thinking you're more mature or smarter than you actually are until you go out and get *****-slapped by reality.

You'll figure it out after making some real mistakes, and you'll realize that no matter how smart you think you are, you're just as ill prepared as everyone else at life.

Right here! I have a baby, a mortgage, and all the responsibilities that come with it.

Including making a video series for a popular website for gaming website...

Well I did move out, I'm an adult with credit card... keys... etc. But I moved back into my parents house to finish university. I'm only 21 so I don't feel too bad yet, and it helps that I've lived on my own for some time and know I can do it when I can support myself better (not studying all the damn time).

22 in February. That's about the time I'm going back to stay with my brother to try and kick-start my second career. I guess I'm neither here nor there. If I'm being completely honest I guess I'm not that mature. Where there's a sarky/childish comment to be made for ones own amusement I'll be there. Working on it though...

Wiser words have never been spoken. *applaud*

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'm 24 but I don't like to think of myself as an adult.

 

[Cmwissy]

I'm 16 - so I can't help; but we are a mostly mature community and I hope you reconsider feeling like a weirdo

 

[Aunel]

No but we are more mature then your average teenager.

ha mature!
I still like candy!
and I crap on the carpet, oh no wait that's not mine that's cat-crap..

OT: don't feel like a weirdo, we are all weird here.

 

[the7ofswords]

I'll be 40 in a couple of weeks.

Does that make me the oldest person here? At least, physically?

Mentally & socially, on the other hand ...

Oh! And for the record, I'm not one of those "living in my parents' basement 40-year-old virgin" stereotypes.

I'm married, have a full-time job and a mortgage, as well as two teen-agers of my own.

~Cheers!

I turned 23 last Sunday. I'm not sure if that qualifies me as a "grown-up" but I certianly think it does. Also the fact that I have a Bachelors Degree and I'll shortly be returning to work on a Masters speaks to this as well.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Who cares? Isn't it individuality that matters, not age?

Of course. That being said, being the only adult hanging out on a forum populated solely by minors could be considered a tad creepy.

That is a good point.

ch'yeeeah duude, fo' shizzle!

I kid xD I agree with this a little actually. Behind all the silly jokes and smilies, I think I'm pretty mature. ^^

 

[orangebandguy]

I'm almost an adult, ALMOST.

 

[Tourette]

I'll be 37 in 3 weeks I suppose I could be put in the adult catagory but i'm only in my mid 20's going by my mental age as I don't feel 37 even though I have a missus,kids ect ect.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

There's quite a few adults here, you only notice us teens more because we're unemployed and easily bored, leaving us more time to post on here.

 

[Steel Ronin]

No but we are more mature then your average teenager.

Or are we?...Yea pretty that pretty much sums it up.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I'm 26 and I still haven't gotten used to being addressed as Mr. - whenever somebody says that I have to check the impulse to look behind me for whoever they must be talking to, because surely it's not me.

 

[UkibyTheMaid]

I'll be 22 in the 27th (oh dear... that'll be in 4 days O___O).

But I live with mom and dad. Is a lot more comfortable than living alone XD But I work, pay for most of my stuff... So I'm 50/50 in the independent department *haha*

Although, I guess it's more okay for a girl to stick with her parents for longer.
