Name a childish quality that you have

[Cheery Lunatic]

Okay so I've noticed that many Escapists tend to take themselves way too seriously, and try way too hard to mature adults (which isn't bad, but it gets a bit dull 24/7)

Anyway, so like the thread title says, name some immature things you think/do/feel.

I for one like using straws for everything. I love straws. Even when I go to fanceh restaurants, I get straws. I especially like the curly, neon-colored ones. My family/friends think I'm an embarrassment.

I also have a thing for Hollywood happy endings in books/movies. Yeah yeah, I know they're not realistic, and I by no means hate tragedies/realistic endings, but I get warm and fuzzy when I see those happily-ever-afters.

I'm a total pussy. If I see someone I don't like at a party, I run in the opposite direction. I go out of my way to avoid them. By "going to the bathroom" or "I hear someone calling me" or "oh look a non-existent text message that I need to reply to".
Yeah, I know.

I like payback. Even if it's really, really petty payback. Such as hiding your carkeys and feigning ignorance.

Okay, your turn.

(Btw, I'm 18 if anyone's curious.)

 

[MammothBlade]

I like straws too. Slurrrrrrp.

I'm just as hyperactive as a child at times. I walk on walls and along the edge of the pavement.

Also, I like play swordfights and pretending just as much as I used to when I was younger.

 

[Kae]

Oh, where to start, well straws are awesome, specially when they are all spiralled and stuff, I love candy a little too much, I get way too excited when I go eat ice cream, I am always playing while walking on the street (walking on the edge of the side walk walking only through certain patterns, you know that kind of thing), when I'm too happy you'll see me skipping around the street in a way too cheery mood, I actually still get sugar rush.
And I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other stuff, I'm fairly childish, which is a little odd considering that most people think I'm an emotionless robot, but anyway I'm 21 BTW, and yes everybody stares at the tall guy with a scar over his eye when skipping down the street like a excited little kid and I really couldn't really care less, though only 3 years ago I was so short that everyone actually thought I was 10 so it was easier to get away with it, but I suddenly became tall.

 

[DarkRyter]

Vegetables still taste like Satan's eyebrows to me.

 

[Antitonic]

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is I feel I seek praise. I've noticed I go out of my way to make sure people see something I've done/made for acknowledgement at the least, if not praise.

It's weird...

 

[Rin Little]

I still act like a hyperactive little kid when I'm in a good mood, silly straws are the bomb, and I love getting revenge on people, I don't that part's ever going to change.

This, as well as mentally fluctuating between 8, 12, (my actual age) and possible older if I want to be mature.
I laugh at poop jokes, have a tendency towards making "That's what she said!" jokes, and generally act a lot younger than I should. What can I say? Penis is a funny word.
Oh, and I'm super irresponsible. I tend to forget things (not all that often, but occasionally) and I tend to be lazy about schoolwork, which I've gotten better about, but I still have occasional lapses.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Spoiler: This pretty much sums it up.

 

[Terminate421]

I love kirby games and the pokemon games (although i never got into black/white)

Those are not considered childish to play anymore......

Pretty much all of this. Except replace "21 year old tall guy" with "almost-22-year-old tall gal."

Oh, and I'm still convinced that vegetables are evil. So there's that. Especially carrots... there's something suspicious about 'em.

 

[Tiger Sora]

I get overexcited about stuff, and giddy. I watch cartoons for kids. I run around the house like I'm 5 again sometimes.

Ya I've still got the kid inside me.

 

[davidmc1158_v1legacy]

Vegetables still taste like Satan's eyebrows to me.

No, the sulphur makes his eyebrows taste less bitter than broccoli.

Broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts are the triumverate of evil.

OT: I am always right. Even when I am wrong, I will simply change my opinions to encompass the facts I have recently learned that showed I WAS wrong and so NOW I am right once again!

Also, I still watch cartoons (if they have good writing like my dvd collection of Animaniacs my friends got me for my birthday last year) and I still play fairly silly dice/paper rpgs with my friends every weekend.

Just because I am in my forties doesn't mean I cannot be childish if I wanna. As the old saying goes: "They can make you grow older, but they can't make you grow up!"

 

[soren7550]

If I get mad at the boyfriend, I tend to hide his shoes. Also, I find tea and coffee way to bitter, and thus stick to soda.

And lets not forget that I love the Pokemon games (the main series, not the spin-offs), and I can get overly excited when I see a kitty/doggie/horsie.

Oh, and I'll be 20 in nine days.

 

[NoOne852]

I also tend to want small acts of "revenge" regardless of how pointless it is. Not often, but it is still there on occasion.
I take people seriously when they are joking just for a laugh.
I still enjoy the cartoons I watched when I was a kid, whenever they do come on TV that is.
I tend to make random noises to entertain myself.

I'm sure I could think of a few other small things, but I would never get around to posting this. I tend to be slow when it comes to expressing myself, and although I have been getting better, that usually results in me being a bit more serious. Now, I still joke around and have my share of stupid things done with friends (nearly got hit by a car once with friends cause I was slap happy as heck and decided to run across a strip of parking lot without paying attention to cars), but usually as soon as I stop any interaction, I immediately revert back to a more upheld manner.
Also, I am 18 if that should account for anything.

EDIT:
One could argue that it is childish to find this funny. Well, if that is so, than I am a child.

-I can't stand coffee, but that might just be a taste thing
-I'm still picky when it comes to food, but I'm progressing my tastes at a very pleasing pace (This last year especially) :3
-I'm still not a vegetable person (Carrots are cool with a little ranch dip for sure!)
-Idk if this is childish, but I can't STAND warm drinks
-Unless I'm satisfied with the result of a discussion or argument, I almost ALWAYS have to get the last word, so that I can feel satisfied I could get one more point in (Which may potentially lead to the person understand everything we were talking about better)
-Praise can still make me feel better, especially at work (Full time can be stressing, so a little praise goes a long way XD)
-That's what she said jokes are still funny to me if said at the right time, and I still make them when appropriate
-I enjoy a good YTP, and am still subscribed to my favs :3

Um... I don't think I'm missing much else XD Quite the list, but what can I say. I've only been 18 for about 2/3 a year, I'm still making progress in the adult life XD

 

[Jedoro]

When I go grocery shopping, I'll get a running start then get my feet up on the back of the cart and ride it as far as it'll go.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Somehow, I think it would be easier to list my adult qualities lol.

Here's a list including, but not limited to, all the childish things I do.

Spoiler: El Listo

-I randomly try to write in languages I know nothing about
-I like the Pokemon games (haven't played any after 3rd gen though)
-I like My Little Pony
-I like other older cartoons like Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Teen Titans
-I own a nerf sword and sword fight when I'm bored and alone
-I own a plush Whale that I have named Wallace (named after Scott Pilgrim's Wallace)
-My friends and I occasionally wear eye patches to Walmart and talk like pirates
-I procrastinate (not inherently childish, but not really an "adult" quality either)
-I make snow forts & snow men still
-I won't eat my vegetables unless they're on a pizza and belong there
-I walk along ledges instead of the logical walking areas
-I don't do my own laundry or cooking (parents are way better at those than I am anyway)
-I will jump over a small fence instead of going through an opening 10 ft away
-My sense of humor is completely childish.
-I scream like a small child in the presence of a spider or some other monstrosity of life (eg. centipede)

and finally,

-I'll take my bundled up socks and pretend they're a grenade by acting like I bit off something then chucking them at my dog.

Eyup, hard to believe I turn 21 this year! ^_^

Oh yeah, I do this too.

 

[Lightning Delight]

Well, I absolutely love animated movies. Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, How To Train Your Dragon, and Tangled have been some of my favorite recently. I watch MLP, and I still sleep with stuffed animals. Also, I am terrified of bugs. I am an 18 years old man who has broken a laptop by panicking and running out of the room because I saw a spider on the ceiling.

And I too enjoy using straws.

 

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

(Almost) 20-year old male here.

- Extremely picky when it comes to meat. If it has any noticable fat or skin on it, forget about it. It WILL come back out if I try to swallow it.
- Not a fan of vegetables. Especially if they're green. Met my ancient sworn enemy, Broccoli, today after a whole year. :\
- Not sure how many consider this childish, but I still believe in "twue wuv".
- Can get rather hyper at times, which is a jarring contrast to my usual quiet and reserved self.
- Sometimes I fantasize about epic battles, and dragons, and stuff.
- I noticed I also like to "sing along" to songs by making clicking noises with my tongue. I imagine it must sound annoying if anyone ever heard it.
