GAAAAAAAAY
Good news: I get to see the Kids in the Hall live in Winnipeg tonight.

Bad news: No, I didn't make it :|


Also, kindly direct your happy birthdays to everyone's favorite successful general/sad-eyed president:

If only there were some kind of popular comic strip to morbidly put the damper on the birthday festivities...

I've never been so grossed-out by black frosting.

You should be grossed out by the white frosting instead...

You do your tag proud!
 
OK I just saw The Ruins tonight and as vile as some of the scenes were, that cake eclipses the whole fucking movie.

HIDEOS.

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
 
Well, if it makes you feel any better, reading everybody in here talking about how 20 is old is making my turning-30-in-two-weeks self feel REALLY old...

:lol I only said it because on my birthday everyone called me and said "Wow, you being 20 makes me feel REALLY old." I just kind of thought "Well shit, what are they trying to say?!"
 
20 is still very young for a guy. For a girl though...enjoy your last 15 years. Guys stay good looking to women until the late forties, often longer.

I don't. The things I wanted and the things I couldn't have (for various reasons) were exactly the same.

Isn't that always true though? I mean, by definition you pretty much want things you don't have. If you have it, you don't WANT it.

I actually miss being a teenager

ill tell you two reasons why turning 20 is awesome.

No longer do you need to give your exact age, you can now simply say "i'm in my 20s". You couldent do that as a teenager.

Reason 2 is that you no longer need to be associated with other teenagers.

I'm about to turn 20. I don't see how it's anything different, though. I can see why people would make a big deal about 21, though.

EDIT: Oh, you answered. I like your first answer the best :lol

Not really. Nowadays there are things I want that I do not have but the beauty is that they're at least attainable. Unlike being a teenager when a lack of transport, money, time and freedom made them impossible dreams.

Try to understand - I went to an all boys school (then went on to do engineering - a total sausage fest), had a crappy job, operated under very strict rules/curfews, was geographically isolated in terms of where I lived and I didn't have a car.

Nope. On the whole, I think my 20s were a vast improvement.

You're not making me more sympathetic :lol :lol . I guess I do understand your point about attainability of different things
 
I recently turned 26, and the peak of my life (physically, and in terms of fun) was 18-23. After 24 or so I felt like I couldn't act like a college kid anymore.

Yeah, my family had LPs when I was a kid.

Believe it or not, just because we didn't live in the same generation doesn't mean older shit became extinct. It's still there.
 
Oh, jeez, 20...I hope you asked for botox for your birthday.

I think you're doing it wrong.

Although with me it's a vicious circle. I look younger than I am, am treated younger than I am, so that encourages me to act younger than I am. Lather, rinse, repeat.


I'll turn the volume down when I'm dead.

Ah. Makes sense now. See, as an unabashed bearded clam fanboy, I must say that it was often very frustrating to live and work so far away from the sea.

ewwww. Understandable though.
 
What freaks me out is if you're 20 like me... we're going to be going into our fourth decade in a couple years. Just sounds weird, but the 80s, 90s, 00s, and now the 10s coming up.

That and as little post-modern children our lives are meaningless.

I look about 6 to 7 years younger than I am. I think I'll take your advice and just start living like I'm 19. Of course that would mean, in all likelihood, lying to girls I meet, as they would be all "wtf?" if I told them my real age. Everyone I meet is surprised when I tell them I'm 26.

are you kidding me? 20 sucks. Not a teenager, and can't buy beer legally (when you live in the retarded US at least)

FUCK 20 YEARS OLD
 
you know what I did when I turned 20? I had a blowout like 7 miles from home and had to walk in noontime sun, wearing a KISS t-shirt and black jeans, all the way back home to get the other car and fix it. THEN I had to go to work, and the heat inside the car ruined a Harley Quinn figure I was gonna sell to a guy, so I ended up giving it to him for free.

But then my coworkers got me a little cake, that was kinda nice.
