I've been secretly laughing at teens/young adults for years!

How can they possibly expect me to take them seriously when they look so ridiculous?

One of my friends is engaged, she quit college and moved with her fiance to Boston after he graduated.
Two more are engaged (and getting married after they finish college).
Several of the people from my high school already have children a few years old. (Many got knocked up while they were still in high school.)
Another friend quit college and is living with her high school boyfriend (not engaged or anything), and works at a clothing retailer.

It seems a lot of my friends sacrificed their careers for their relationships. Sad.

You know when you're a proper adult when your own teenager comes home from school to tell you about drama with his best friend and girlfriend, then tells you your piercings and tattoos are so last year, along with something like "Mom, you're so old and weird. Get with it."

...then you call up your own mother and apologize for everything you ever did as a kid.

That's when you've really hit adulthood. It isn't pretty. :D

(Motherhood rocks, though)

Oh I do have my own house/kid/career... the acquisition of these didn't make me a proper adult, they just ended my youth. :-D

I will become an adult when someone proves to me that there no magic, no aliens and no dragons. Until then I will continue my life of drinking tea and working in a castle. Life is too short to waste it acting like an adult!

I like seeing weird hair styles, they are interesting to me.

Agreed.

Is it just me or is there a delightful irony in a body modification community discussing why hairstyles are cack? I mean, your hair is part of your body right? So styling or dying your hair is a very low level body modification.

Personally, I love seeing people be a bit creative with their hair. Even if it looks horrible, you can just grow it out or shave it or whatever. It's not permanent, so why not have some fun with it?

I like your philosophy. As structured and career oriented as my life is, I really try to keep myself grounded and not too serious.
