Erichermit Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 As 18 is considered a turning point in many lives, I've decided to ask what the very first thing you did as an adult was? And don't say you woke up, or breathed, or something. That's lame. Say something that actually counts as something that happened. I'm having trouble fully explaining what I mean, but I believe people should understand well. If you ate cereal, say that. If you went to the [cabbage]ter, say that. If you had sex, say that. And so on. If you aren't 18 yet, say what the first thing you want it to be is. I just turned 18 about an hour and a half ago. I feel completely the same, of course, but it occurred to me that I should find something cool to do as the first thing to do as a legal adult. As I pondered this, coming up with some interesting ideas, I heard a splattering come from my younger brother's room. "Did you spill your water cup?" I asked, remembering that he had brought a cup of water in there with him. There was no response. I waited, "Well?". I heard splashing into the toilet and a choking noise. I walked over there to see my brother vomiting into the nearby toilet while a massive splash of grotesque half digested Burger King chicken fries was strewn across the carpeted floor. Turns out the first thing I did? Clean up a puddle of vomit. Theres a story for the bars in 3 years. What's yours? PS: If this is the wrong forum, please move it, mods.

scootlaboot Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What every american should be able to legally do at 18, drink some booze. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

knives669 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I hung out with my friends on the night I turned 18. I really didn't do anything adultish. :P I guess the first thing I did that really required me to be 18, was I bought all my friends tickets to an R rated movie. :lol: The crazy woman at the ticket booth wouldn't let any of my friends who were minors buy the tickets, so I collected all their money and ended up buying about seven movie tickets. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smi_Mandos Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It was my birthday party the night before so everyone was round, and when it turned midnight I just put on some awesome music. In the morning I made bacon sandwiches for everyone =D The only thing I regret is buying my first legal alcohol in the co-op, should have been a pub or something much nicer than the shop down the road... :wall: Along the coast road, by the headlandThe early lights of winter glow.Ill pour a cup to you my darling.Raise it up --- say cheerio.

NickCini Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Erm, well, in the UK we can legally drink at 18. But I illegally drink now. I suppose I'll go order a pint in the pub and actually produce legitimate ID. Then go clubbing. Then come home and play runescape. I always play runescape lol And if you do all you can, that's all you can ever do. - Warren Rudman But men are men; the best sometimes forget. - William Shakespeare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Really in America there isn't much you can do 'legally' at 18. I mean, sure, I could buy cigarettes but I don't smoke -- and I couldn't buy lotto tickets but those things are a waste of money. I think I may have seen an R rated movie but nothing special.

Erichermit Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I changed the title to more reflect what the question was as some people weren't getting it. Although I've had a drink here and there now already before I was 18 here in America (but barely, I hate the taste of alchohol) I think it'll be cool when I go up to Canada this year to do it legally.

killmenub Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Well you said not say waking up etc, so after all that went to the pub and bought a pint, then went shopping and spent all my B day cash, then drunk some more, had a meal out with friends then went clubbing. Ok so I basically told my whole 18th birthday, but it was bloody awesome. IGN: HesFearless. -Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 On the night of my last day of 17 years of age, I plan to keep a gun near my pillow. Then, when I wake up on my 18th birthday, I'll fire off 18 rounds. Not exactly sure where I'll fire them at, but that's the plan. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Giordano Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't care much for birthdays and besides there isn't a whole lot of positives at 18, just taxes. >_> I'll probably throw a jig when I'm 21, since we can (finally) drink beer.
