...you wish for a vacuum cleaner as a birthday present and are totally happy to get one!

DISCUSS:

- My 20th birthday
- Vacuum cleaners are the new socks.
- Adulthood
- Living by yourself/moving away from parents´ home

Also, this occasion reminds me it´s been almost eight years since I registered in this forum. EIGHT YEARS.

This one phrase made me think of one of my own:

- When you've been on a forum long enough that even THAT statement reminds you of your own 12 year tenure.

Vacuum cleaners are the new socks.

Not literally, I hope? Sounds uncomfortable.

In any case, happy birthday. Welcome to your twenties.

Congrats and birfdays and whatnots!

You'll also know you're old when you get a day off and you're like YES I CAN DO SOME HOUSEWORK.

Happy Birthday! *hands you a cookie cake*

The only thing I can recall ever asking for was a Sega Game Gear and DreamCast. Turns out I got the GG a year after it came out and the DC about 3 years after it came out and was ready to become obsolete in the market

All that aside, I moved away from home almost 5 years ago. First birthday away, my dad and aunt got me stuff to set up the apartment, my grandma got me stuff for the kitchen. The following year, my mom gave me 2 bookcases from Target.

As for the vaccum, I think it's an evil invention and I hate it to death. I do own one and we currently have 3 of the blasted things at our condo. I say, get rid of the carpet and give me some real floors that I can mop

Well Happy Belated Birthday!

(How long have I been here? July of 2001?)

Another sign you're old: time flies no matter what you do.

Thanks everybody!

And Kayla, I KNEW there was someone else on the MoFo with birthday the same day as me. But I forgot. Shame on me!
Happy belated birthday!!

Have you moved out of your parents' house yet?

Been living by myself in a small dorm room since October. And as I said to SilverShadow in chat yesterday: You have no clue how big it seems when you gotta clean it with a swiffer cloth!

First of all, a belated happy to Erika. Even if I don't know you, doesn't matter. Happies are always deserved from one and all.

And as far as being an adult, I can agree with several counts:

  • The wish for clothes at Christmas so that you have more to wear at work (No one will get those Chaos Emeralds for me, though)
  • The day off leads to housecleaning (whether it's my idea or usually my wife's)[/list:u:65e43a5d6e]
  • But then the most obvious one...

    Well... she's 15 months old, and she's looking and smiling at me from her playpen as I type this.

waaaaa sooooo adorable
that's a really nice thing to say and so true, every year we grow older we get closer to that wonderful possibility that you're blessed with. it must be the best feeling in the world
to see a smile to your face from your child.
