I'm an oldie. I got there at 20. The nice bit is being 21 before freshman year is over.

Pffft...The most intoxicated I got was at the end of the summer before sophomore year, and that wasn't very much, for your information. Only a slight hangover.

Well I was 15, but my brithday was coming up, and I have taken a few months break, back when I was seriously ill. So I'm still in the begining of my third year.... Eesh.
As for how I did it? Erm, I dunno....Just did a whole buncha these tests and what not then Hey! Presto! I was sitting besides 20somethings in class instead of teeny boppers. I think what really kicked it was that I HATED highschool and all that bullshit immature drama, never mind that the stuff they were teaching was the same BS I taught myself in middleschool. ONE BIG PERK: for the whole one year that I was sorta in highschool at 13-14 was meeting Maggie. Eee, I guess I did get something valuable from highschool. EDIT: By college I mean university, I dimmly remember that across the pond college has a different meaning.

I'm an oldie too. Born the 3rd of July (mum couldn't have gotten any closer). '65
I feel old too. Old and Jaded. It's the age of the Young People. We oldies from the 60's are not worth much. Especially here in Sweden. All the government nag about are the ones born in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 09-07-2006 at 11:43 AM. |

Ah, oldies but goodies. Mellowed and aged to perfection. Rembember, even the Greeks complained about the youth of the day not respecting things.

Isn't it time for some decaf coffee and a chocolate donut? I certainly am ready.
