I Guess I'm Not a Grown-Up Yet
Jan. 23rd, 2006 07:32 pm
Stolen from Gwyll :)
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. (I don't have any houseplants, but the ones I have seeds for are all smokeable... and highly toxic.)
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. (Hell, I'll have sex just about anywhere)
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. (Ok, so it's wine, not beer, but it's still cheap wine)
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. (Heh, this totally doesn't include graveyard workers)
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator. (Nope, not yet)
6. You watch the Weather Channel. (Well, ok, sometimes)
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up." (You don't know my loosely married friends very well)
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.. (Ok, yeah, this is true. 2 out of 25)
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." (Have you seen my closet?)
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo. (We are still the kids next door)
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. (Nope. No older relatives!)
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. (It doesn't - the drive-thru is 24 hrs., baby!)
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. (Heh, our car insurance did go down, but we still drive the same pos we've been driving for 5 years now)
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers. (No dog.)
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. (Our couch is remarkably comfy)
16. You take naps. (Nope. I'm lucky if I can get any sleep at all.)
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. (I'm lucky if I get dinner in a real restaurant... Our Emeril's reservations were for 6:30. It's 7:30 as I'm writing this. Guess where we didn't go for dinner...)
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach. (Actually that sounds like a really good lunch at work... mmmm, late-night hotwings)
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests. (Condoms yes, pregnancy tests, no - that's what the condoms are for)
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." (See #3)
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. (I had tomato soup the other morning before I went to bed)
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again." (Neither gets said... I drink. Maybe less than I used to, but I don't have a problem drinking that way again.)
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. (World of Warcraft, anyone?)
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. (Ok, so 3 out of 25)
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh S*$#, what the hell happened?" (Anyone who knows me knows that I don't congratulate pregnant people - I lecture them for not using protection and not taking personal responsibility for the world's population problem.)
On another note, school started today, whoopdeefuckingdoo. These classes are not going to be easy, and I'm totally pissed at the History 101 professor. I would honestly prefer to write a few dry, boring research papers complete w/MLA formatting, footnotes, bibliographies & appendices, but noooooo, she wants 'creative writing'. Argh! Why me?
