I'm eighteen years old today

. I have just bought a lottery ticket for the power ball jackpot (it's over $100 million right now). Hey I won $3.
What else should I do now that I'm an adult?
What did you do when you turned eighteen?

Also, does anybody know who sings the rock song from I think the 80's? Some of the lyrics that I can remember are:

I'm eighteen
I'm confused everyday
eighteen
(some guitar here)
and I like it
yes I like it
I like it
I love it
eighteen

As for what I did... I don't really remember.

Only 29 years old now, and I have the memory of an old man with alzheimer's.

[EDIT}

WOW!!!

I just remembered... LOL

None of you are my old neighbor are you?

If so, then I'm sorry... I was sleeping with your wife on my 18th birthday.

On my 18th birthday I went to the beach and got HAMMERED until I passed out on a sand dune. I woke up with no pants, no shoes, and one hell of a good looking blonde chick whose name I didn't remember.

One of those nights where you drink so much that when you wake up you have to think hard about how you got to where you are and start checking for things like newly missing teeth and where did that tattoo come from.

Happy Birthday Jon,

I don't remember what I did for my 18th birthday, but I'm sure it involved boozing it up. I don't think I did anything spectacularly different. Honestly, 18 didn't seem like that huge of a deal for me. I was a freshman in college and already partying relatively regularly. I do remember my 21st birthday (had a party) but the rest are lost in the fog of time....

But maybe what you should learn from all of this is: Start writing down what you do on every birthday. Most of mine are un-recallable at this point, but it would be kind of fun to be reminded of whatever it was that I decided to do each year. I'd love it if I had a little "annual diary" of whatever I did and what seemed important to me at that point in my life...

Have a good one.

That was 1987-1989 for me. Now that was one crazy night.

Lottery tickets (scratch offs)
Smokes, legally
A few misc females..

I moved out on my 18th. I had all my stuff packed up the day before in my '89 Acura Integra, and at 7am, I left and moved in with a friend of mine so I didnt have to put up with "the man" anymore.

I bought a lottery ticket (scratch off)
A pack of smokes and 2 cigars
Went to a strip club
Passed out

i have a feeling i was eighteen once. if you're in the US though, what can you do at 18? surely 21 is the big number?

I dunno. In WI, the legal drinking age used to be 18. It was changed to 21 so we wouldn't miss out on all the treats the federal government promised to withhold from our state if we didn't change it.

They changed the drinking age when I was 15. Due to work situations and friends, I was able to drink when I was 17, so turning 21 was no big deal for me other than I could now get into the strip clubs. Turning 18 for me was similar to metalhead's experience, although I didn't have my shite packed that day. I think it was a week before I moved out.

Down the stairs I went, a hefty bag with all my crap, out the door. Moved into a loft downtown, got a motorcycle, and got a tattoo.

I'd show 'em all I would....

I not did them. I was past that stage in my life, thankfully.

exactly--17 was party central--at 18 i was trying to be good since all my crimes would be those of an adult and hence have jail time and not piddly community service.

beauty of it was that I was aware of this change starting at 15 and enjoyed myself for 3 years, prison free.

Age of consent varies by state. In some states it is as low as 14.

There is very little advantage in the US to being 18. 18 means you are always tried as an adult in a court of law. It means you can be drafted into the Military should the draft be reinstated. It means you can get into some, but not most, bars and clubs.

21 is the number that unlocks the legal parties.

If your 18 the ritual is I take you to a bar buy you a few pints of beer, then we'll head off for couple of hours in an establishment where the Women will dance for you wearing remarkably few clothes, Then finally we'll go to a casino and place a few bets on the tables.

What? your in America? They don't let you do that stuff at 18! Damn I thought it was the land of the free?

It used to be 18 here, then they decided that 18 year olds + alcohol = car accidents.

markb · « **Reply #28 on:** December 15, 2005, 07:29:49 pm »

No, women + cars = accidents.

Does this mean you're saying they look as GOOD as bad haiku? I've gotta wonder why your judging scale is so off. Try taking your finger off the scale. That might even things out
