Signs You’re “All Grown-Up Now”
won’t turn down the stereo.
You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
Dinner and a movie is the whole date, instead of the beginning of
one.
A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good stuff.”
You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
You read this entire list, looking desperately for one sign that
doesn’t apply to you, but, can’t find one to save your life.

You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
You watch the Weather Channel.
Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

In response to Oasis' question 2 months ago

Guys, do you like going downtown?

Girls do you like your partner going down on you (I know if seems like a dumb thing to ask but I’ve encounter a few who don’t)

I have more things I want to ask but could get in too much trouble so if you read my next post answer those questions too, or report me but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

We just had a referendum about whether it's legal for parents to smack thier kids. 2 months ago

a few years back the law was changed making hitting your kid assault, it’s illegal to hit a dog, though not some animals. It’s never justified under our law to hit another person, in fact the cops usually charge the person who wins the fight with assault, not the one who throws the first punch. Provocation is also going to be removed as defense for violence though it usually is only used in murder trails anyway.

The christian right (Catholics, destinies’ church and the evangelists) along with some supporters got two hundred thousand people to sign a petition which forced a citizens referendum, millions (not all but more than half of eligible voters) sent back their voting papers and the overwhelming response was to repeal the act so it would be legal to hit kids. It sounds like the government will ignore the vote and smacking kids will remain a crime, since the law’s been in no one has had jail time 13 people got fined and a few hundred have been warned.

Do you think it should be legal to hit kids if you’re a parent?

what about teachers?

Should it be legal beat up some one who’s causing trouble and starting a fight?

Should it be legal to kill some one if you honestly believe they might kill you?

Should governments ignore more than half the country voting on something even if they disagree with what the people have voted for?

Five for friday 3 months ago

1 Is Friday alright for fighting?

2 Aren’t pets great? no matter how bleak and hostile the outside world maybe at least when you get home a reasonably sentient creature is happy to see you, as long as you feed it!

3 do you think it’s a bit weird that the most respected fashion designers produce clothes that will only fit junkies, suffers of eating disorders and cancer patients while most normal people the wrong body type for them?

4 Do you lament the passing of books, records, tapes, camera film and reel to reel projectors?

5 Who’s on first?

which side are you on?



AC/DC 3 months ago

I just stood in line in the blistering Dunedin cold to go $700 overdrawn for ACDC tickets, I have no way of getting to Wellington yet, or anywhere to stay and my mate is out at sea so I’m guessing he’ll want to buy one of them and the woman my other ticket’s for doesn’t know yet and may not want to come either. I work a minimum wage, casual job I have less than a weeks rent in cash, but it’s ACDC man!

When was the last time you threw caution to the wind and spent money you didn’t have on something you didn’t need but really really wanted?
