"Sweet" Sixteen

The_Q · 06-5-2005, 03:05 PM

This is one of those years. The dreaded "sweet sixteen." I can't even decide what I should mooch off of my beloved friends and family this year. No doubt I can go for some pretty big gifts. Any ideas? You've got fewer than 19 days.

I had the same problem my 16th birthday. Ended up getting gift cards galore. It was lame.

*Sob* If only I could have thought of something!

Only girls have sweet sixteen parties.

Honestly... what is special about sixteen besides being able to get your Learner's Permit. you still can't drive. you can't go to R rated movies until 17. you can't buy porn or cigs until 18. you can't vote until 18. you can't sign a contract until 18. you can't drink until 21. you can't rent a car until 25.

you aren't your own entity until 18... (read: you are a dependant of your parents until then, at least).

It should be Excellent Eighteen, really. But, we live in a messed up country that doesn't do anything that is logical... so, YAY SWEET SIXTEEN!

Omeganitros · 06-5-2005, 03:17 PM

Learner's permit is at 15. You get your driver's license at 16.

**FishFishRevolution** · 06-5-2005, 03:18 PM

June 23rd or June 24th?

(Mine's June 23rd, s'why i'm wondering...)

Ask for a subscription to one of those shareware programs all of us use and just deal with demo trials of. It's only usually like $15, and you don't have to ever mess with "out of trial days" or "can't use that option" or "man i have to hack this stupid thing"

Plus, it's nice to support those developers every now and then, some programmers have it tough.

Where do you live Omega, the south?

16 for permit, 16 for license here in NY.

Omeganitros · 06-5-2005, 03:22 PM

Tejas.

ananana · 06-5-2005, 03:27 PM

Here, you get your learners at 15 and your license at 16 and one day. A few years ago they decided to change length you have to have your licence for from one year to a year and a day and I seriously cannot figure out the reason for that.

Q, get me a new computer for your birthday.

hydrojakep · 06-5-2005, 03:28 PM

I'd wish you a happy birthday, but it's too early.

Tonberry_Kid · 06-5-2005, 03:31 PM

Swiper No Swiping!!!How the hell do I know that??
I'd ask for a car.

**Rebirth0** · 06-5-2005, 03:38 PM

I already got a huge Birthday present for when I turn 16. 1978 Silver Corvette.

Too bad you can't get a PS3 for your birthday. I would get a PSP.

Omeganitros · 06-5-2005, 03:55 PM

OH! OH MY GOD, I KNOW!

Fun as heck. I keep 3 around the house.

evilbutterfly · 06-5-2005, 03:59 PM

I didn't do anything for my 16th birthday. Well, until my friends heard of this nothing and took me to a movie.

I didn't do anything for my 18th birthday, either. The world obviously hates me.

The_Q · 06-5-2005, 04:01 PM

Because you live in the hick part of Texas, Omega.

I like the PSP idea. I'll run with that. Perhaps another mp3 player.

jewpinthethird · 06-5-2005, 04:02 PM

Ask for money. Perfect gift you since you're all about blowin' loads over economics and whatnot.

And use it to buy a PSP.

In unrelated news: I just realized Q had less than 1500 posts. For some reason I thought you had a lot more.

For some reason it feels as though you have been around for a lot longer.

The_Q · 06-5-2005, 04:21 PM

Love you too, Jewp.
