Gosh, my boyfriend is your age. See, not that old!

Bah, you're only as old as you can trick other people into believing you are.

[LaZodiac]

Gosh, my boyfriend is your age. See, not that old!

Thanks. Yha, besides, you're only as old as you feel.

[Mutant Sheep]

I'd tell you to go celebrate, but you can already do that in Canada.

... pffffffffffft.

[AsteriskAmp]

I'd tell you to go celebrate, but you can already do that in Canada.

Most of the civilised world actually...

I've never had beer or anything like that before, and I'm not really sure I'd want to. I'd have to find the right moment.

[Amidus Drexel]

Most of the civilised world actually...

Well, I'm moving to Greenland, then.

[AtlanteanTroll]

... pffffffffffft.

Most of the civilised world actually...

I can actually do it where I'm at currently. Sadly all my dad buys is Bud. Rather terrible. Not so bad if you mix it with 7Up though.

Aww.

[Dimonite]

Freak-Fleece is 15 and won't be 16 for a while as I understand it.

Yeah, I just knew his grade, and not that he was among the youngest in that grade. I made assumptions.

[HalfTangible]

And in three months I'm going to become 21.

7 days

More you know...

Where I am you can marry, drive and drink the moment you turn 18... well not drive, you gotta pass a test and loads of bureaucracy.

In my case home is the opposite actually, since nobody drinks except my mother very very rarely; with my father and I being both abstemious we have high end alcohol of every kind in the cellar but only ever pulled out in very rare occasions. On the other hand alcohol comes in every anniversary, or birthday or Christmas, resulting in a growing supply which will most likely age and then rot without ever being consumed.

[Dimonite]

Just not all at once.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Ah, that's what the US has. You can drive at 15 ... And you can marry here at 18. It's just not common.

Sounds nice. The first thing I'm doing when I can go out and buy liquor for myself and drink with friends legally is making Skittles Vodka.

[Amidus Drexel]

Just not all at once.

I am confident that someone has tried to do all three at the same time. I wonder if it's on youtube..

[AsteriskAmp]

Just not all at once.

Well... marrying with a civil judge is possible in a car and the alcohol level of the driver can reach a given threshold (which is ridiculously low) but still; it's technically possible to do the three at once for a very small time span before your blood level of alcohol becomes prohibitive or the wedding ends.

Ah, that's what the US has. You can drive at 15 ... And you can marry here at 18. It's just not common.

I know people who married at 16 actually, you just need parental approval.

That's... interesting.

High BAC, getting married. Close enough.

I'm not sure how that works here.

OK, not the first thing, but the first alcohol related thing.

[Elemental]

Stop making fun of the people who are so totally not old!
Careful, or we'll use our powers as members of the voting public against you!

Our little Zodi is growing up so fast. *sniffle*

I've never had beer or anything like that before, and I'm not really sure I'd want to. I'd have to find the right moment.

Well, there's a thread or two which could prove quite illuminating then.

I can actually do it where I'm at currently. Sadly all my dad buys is Bud. Rather terrible. Not so bad if you mix it with 7Up though.

I prefer ginger ale myself. There's this one Kentucky-based one which sometimes bleeds over into the surrounding states which is the best. It's also one of the ones that goes well with bourbon for mixing.

I'm not sure how that works here.

Some minors can get married with parental approval in certain states, or at least it's happened in the past without everyone involved being jailed, IIRC.

I was 20 when I joined the forum, actually. If I recall. Maybe 19.

True, true.

[AsteriskAmp]

High BAC, getting married. Close enough.

The after effects are very different and similar ironically enough.

I'm not sure how that works here.

Consult your physician if the marriage remains happy for more than two hours?

And to think that yesterday she was one day younger. *sniffle*

I've played a pipe's organ a very reduced number of times, mostly at churches, the two most memorables for me where once officially so during mass and once while hidden (as hidden as a person playing a massive building sized instruments that makes the earth tremble under its notes can be). In terms of regular organs I've had more luck; there even used to be an organ shop nearby which I'd visit with relative frequency until it went out of business justifiably due to the excessive pricing.

The organ is not that different from the piano except for the number of pedals it has and the fact that there is no such thing as a minor mistake; once you get the hang that your roots are in the pedals, the harmony without root is in the left and the melody in the right, it all is smooth sailing. If you ever felt you needed more sound while playing and wanted some extra hands, the organ is glorious.

Nowadays I have to make due with a setting of a fake pedal arrangement linked to a synth bank to simulate the bass pedals, and a UltraNova mounted on top of a Clavinova

You have a studio set-up for yourself, do you? What fun that must be!

Is it as righteous as I imagine to sit at the organ and control that monstrously sublime wall of sound? To feel the bass pipes rattling your very sternum? Sometimes I listen to the Dorian with headphones and raise the volume until it draws blood... and my very soul thrashes in torturing ecstasy as I witness the making and unmaking of Creation.

Ahh, sometimes I'd just love to follow your every word of advice. Actually, I'd probably love to just follow you around for a day or two and let you guide me to how to enhance my quality of life. After all, I've always seen your style as somewhat opulent, but in a classy and refined and, not to forget, tasteful sort of way. You seem to have a good hang on the more luxurious ways of living, and even though I usually prefer the simple over the extravagant, I may sometimes dream of just a few days of living the other life.

What you say is fantastically sweet and it means a lot to me, Teddophilos! *hugs*

The city I live in and its people can be so unspeakably ugly sometimes: I do my best to stay wrapped in a comforting cocoon of beautiful things and fineness for the senses. One day I will move to a better neighbourhood and my lifestyle will be as wings instead of a cocoon. For now the opulence keeps my heart afloat.

Invite me oooooveeeeeer. I can help you with that problem in a big way.

What's it called?

I'm sure. This also reminds me that my hometown is one of the top in the nation when it comes to teen pregnancies. Glad I got out.

T'was my point.

Consult your physician if the marriage remains happy for more than two hours?

Sounds reasonable enough.

Ale-8

Also, wuff. @_@ Seeing "teen pregnancy" always makes part of me think back to high school and how the worst fight that ever happened while I was there was between two girls who got knocked up by, reputedly, the same guy. I am a horrible, horrible Coidzor.

THat story confuses me every time I hear shreds of it. I GET SO CONFUZZED.

[Mynxae]

Anyone who plays WoW and has MoP will understand this if they also love Pokemon.

Pet battles: Aka Pokemon. I can't help but remember those days when starting out with a Pikachu in Yellow, and trying to beat an Onyx with it. So I went back through youtube searching all the old pokemon themes... Ah, nostalgia.

And then BAM! I found an addon so that I can listen to pokemon music (of my choice) whenever I get into a pet battle.

@Ele, I'll be doing the dishes soon. Will PM you when I'm about to leave/am leaving.

I think it confused the whole school, really. Makes for a great portrait of human depravity though.

[Mutant Sheep]

Myn, werent you gonna be at eles... half a day ago?

Pet battles, I want. I should get to getting some addons someday, so I can actually heal. And do BGs. THE MUSIC THING SOUNDS AMAZING THOOOUGH.

I think I recall that story. Don't feel horrible.

Awesome. I never got into WoW because screw MMOs with a railroad spike they're boreing as hell for me. But yay Pokemon! Technicaly in the newest gens you could take down an Onix with Pikachu since you could teach it like, Iron Tail.

GIMMICKS! Mindless meaningless gimmicks that exist solely to add new flavour to ancient gum!
And you'd better hurry along.

He was supposed to! He can never keep a schedule...
