[Drunk Hobbit]

EDIT: Gah! Forgot to post the poll. D'oh!

[Happydude]

Hmm just as a reminder.. I'm still 8 days older than you sucka...

So for those dumb enough not to understand.. I'm 16 turning 17 in one month (Exactly one month from today March 2nd)

[UncleNoName]

15.

[jeepnut]

[Revival]

15, I start driving in April (when I'm 15 1/2)... heh.. :mad2:

[gekko]

I wouldn't get too excited. Driving with a permit beyond sucks. You have to drive with your parents sitting next to you, and it's so damn annoying listening to them complain about things they do constantly. That, and i'm a lazy bastard. If my Mom is going to be in the car, I'd rather she drives so I can kick back and doze off :D

Now a license is a different story, because you have the ability to leave. But the permit just bites the big one.

And driving automatics sucks too. Talk about a boring drive.

[Revival]

Yeah, but I need to drive with my parents now so I can take drivers ed in school so I can actually get my license. Also, I'm learning how to drive with my brother's standard, so I'll be all set.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get a automatic or a standard when I get my first car.. that's up for change.

[gekko]

It's manual, not standard. The problem is used cars are hard to find in a color you like with a stick. But if you buy new, you save about $800 if you get manual transmission.

I know, my brother saved about $750 when he bought his new car -- a manual.

[D-Man]

Well, I'm too poor to get a drivers liscence, that, and also the fact that I'm too lazy also. :D

[Angrist]

18 year and almost 8 months. :gum:

[GameMaster]

I am 15.

[Xantar]

This is kind of scary. This topic has gone on to two pages, and only two people who replied are older than me (jeepnut and Angrist). And only one person (i.e. jeepnut) is in college like myself.

In case you haven't figured it out, I'm 17 years and 7 months old.

[Ric]

Whoa... I am 17 and 8 months, didnt know I was older than you Xantar weird, didnt think I was older than that many people on the boards either. Ha now I know who I can tell to respect their elders, lol.

Havent got enough sponduli to get a drivers licence.

A university is the highest school in Holland. Check out their site: (it's also in English) http://www.wur.nl/index.html

[TheGrimReaper]

14, 15 in July.

[BreakABone]

Wow I'm starting to feel old here.

And you're in college!!! Are you gifted?

[Xantar]

So in other words..

You are dumb/stupid but well educated.. interesting...

I didn't say I'm dumb. Just not gifted.

--Xantar

[GameMaster]

So, in that case everyone your age should be in college already. Oh, ok. I feel much better now knowing that under 3% of young peoples in the U.S. are well educated.

[Xantar]

Why does everybody have to keep misinterpreting what I say? :baby:

Okay, fine. I'll explain myself.

I got significant amounts of home schooling from my parents (one is a chemistry major from University of Chicago and the other has two majors, a minor and a masters from M.I.T.). I consider this to be part of my education. I also got significant one on one time with teachers because my parents asked and paid for it (and I wanted it). I also consider this to be part of my education. And so I was put on the fast track at my school, sort of. I was still considered a 6th grader at the time. It just so happened that I took all of my classes with 7th and 8th graders. And all this I attribute not to my own inherent qualities but to the fact that I was lucky enough to have parents who placed great value in giving their son the best education he could get.

I was never supposed to be moved up in grades. My classmates were all older than me, but I wasn't going to graduate in the same year as them. However, my school shut down, and the school I transferred to decided to treat me as a person who had just finished 7th grade instead of as a person who would be entering 7th grade as my old school would have done. So at my new school, I joined the 8th grade class and went on with life.

Anything I know comes from the books I read and the people who taught me. It just so happened that I had great books and teachers, and thus I was given the opportunity to study at a higher level than most people my age. I fully believe that under the same circumstances, almost anybody else would be doing the same thing. And the fact that I ended up in a grade higher than normal for my age is entirely accidental.

All of this training and he can't even help me with my simple math problems.. ARGH

Anyhow I somewhat feel your pain.. I mean joys of being "well educated" Having taken advantage of many academic crappies

Such as summer school, tutorin (Even on Saturdays) and the what nots

[DeathsHand]

I got good grades and the teachers always talked about how good of a student I was and how they loved to read my writing and sh*t until my grades started dropping and I went crazy and now I can't even write the first sentence of anything school peoples or anything want me to write and now I'm maybe 2 1/2 years behind...

Am I special like Xantar too or should I just go over to the corner and play with blocks or something? :confused:

Is my life story on education not as good and entertaining as Xantars? :(

[GameMaster]

You're fortunate Xantar. I wish I had been educated like that. :(

[fingersman]

How come every topic gets turn to Xantar?? First you talk about his sex life now his education ?? :D It's amazing that Xantar says no one would like him in real life and yet some much people respect and like him on the net. :D


Well I'm 20, yeah you heard me right I'm 20 and I'm at university. Doing a prelim course, until sept..when the real work starts...then after 3 years I get my next degree and start to work someplace, starting at a low paying position and then gradually moving up and getting the big bucks. So then I'll be at the top and deligate my aurthority and sit down and do nothing.:D

Well I hope that's how it goes. :unsure:

[Bizzyman]

im 4.

Really? That's not what your profile says...:hmm:

--Xantar

[jeepnut]

Can I?

[Phobos]

[magus113]

I'm 14 and damn proud of it, baby!:rock:

[Old Skool]

Damn I feel old now I have read this topic.


well any way I'm 24

[GameMaster]

Haha, this thread is like a time capsule. Oh, to be fifteen again!

Editor's Note: A Yahoo 'Slurp Spider' was cataloging this page. I didn't resurrect it on my own accord.

[Teuthida]

Ooh, one of my old threads under one of my banned names that got changed to "Drunk Hobbit." Such carefree times...wait, I hated those times...horrible horrible times.

[MrCoffee]

yay im 16, almost 17 :D

[JamesDark]

I just got an e-mail about this. Holy carp, Lois. It's like reading old homework.

How's life, dudes? (Thread derail!)

[Teuthida]

:D!!! Mr. Calvin, the headcrabs treating you well?

[D-Man]

I'm 21. Was only 14-15 when I found this place... so long ago... Nintendo Dolphin hehe.

[JamesDark]

Well enough, I suppose. I fizzled out of cartooning but whatever energy I was transposing there is now put into writing and documentary film. University next semester if they take me. Still helplessly addicted to Internet and vidya games, though.

How's the starving artist route? I expect to be taking it in a few years.

[Teuthida]

Good luck with your endeavors. I have one more year of school after this. Going to try to get some work published over the summer. Hopefully will have a steady gig by the time school finishes or else my starving artist days will enter the realm of destitution. Looking forward to it. ;)

[Typhoid]

[Dylflon]

Yeah, shut up is a really awkward age. I feel your pain.

[Typhoid]

Yeah, shut up is a really awkward age. I feel your pain.

Way to not even be having a shindig this year.

[GameMaster]

Would the Queen of England consider it improper for Dylan Innes to have announced his impending birthday?

[Ginkasa]

19...


*shrugs and walks away*

[manasecret]

Ho ventidue anni.

[Dylflon]

Way to not even be having a shindig this year.

I am. Just not this week...or next week. And maybe not the week after that. BUT A BIRTHDAY PARTY WILL BE HAD.

My birthday party last year was in the first week of April due to the flu followed by wisdom teeth removal.

[Fox 6]

I have 17 years. 18 in less than a month

[Typhoid]

Ah yes, I remember the great party of '06 so well, because I had mono, got your little brother drunk, and beat up Jonas.


PS. I think there shall be no Sean's fantabulous shindig for his birthday this year on account of a brother, and a cat.

[Dylflon]

I'm hurt. It's been my birthday all day and nobody made me a thread.

:(
