What is the first thing you did as a legal adult?

[Erichermit]

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 shitter, 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?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately (I actually turn 18 next February; legally, since my dad fucked up my birth certificate, I turn 18 a month earlier) and I'm pretty sure the first thing I'm going to do is to go to a local X-Mart (adult superstore) and buy a goat toy (if you don't know what I'm talking about, just use your imagination) to send to my dad as thanks for having sex with my mom 18 years and 9 months ago.

EDIT: Oh, and happy 18th birthday, btw.  :thumb:

You know Dopples, that was going to be what mine was going to be. My plans were horribly foiled though.

It's a damn good thing I didn't start too. Because I usually do that in the bathroom where my brother spewed out the other 75% of his vomit. Imagine. You're sitting there, doing your stuff,when hear a splat in the other room and the door bursts open just in time for a kid to explode repulsive stomach juice all over you.

 

[moog]

Nothing really changed. Most of the stuff I did when I was 17 carried over.

;D

i shot black tar heroine

It sucks. I don't drink much, and already done that. I don't smoke, nor do I plan to. I don't do durgs. I already watch 18's; the lottery's 16; I'm not into porno magazines; I don't have any need for knives or spray paint; and I don't really go clubbing at all.

If anyone wants consentual sex however, let me know and I'll be right there.  :cheers:

 

[iceplosion]

Did all the adult stuff before I was 18, I did have sex on my 18th but it doesn't matter since the age of consent here is 17 (and no one actually cares about that) so I guess the first legal "adult" thing I did is get really drunk.

 

[Heronaut]

Well, I'm not 18 yet, but the first I will do is Goatse myself...
J/k
I'll probably buy a gun.

 

[Despain]

i don't remember, i probably turned over and went back to sleep.

ages are meaningless

 

[Ellie]

Actually, the first thing I'll probably do is get a Paypal account. Yer have to be 18, apparently. How exciting.

 

[Calibre]

I went to bed.

Ohh and had group sex with 6 men.

 

[The Cry of Fallen Angels]

I did all the "legal as adult" stuff way before I was 18.

This.

I hate it when people go like; "OMG IM 18 NOW I CAN DRINK/FUCK/DRIVE CARZ/etc."

 

[Venetia]

I got bucknasty on my boyfriend, who was 17 at the time. It's illegal in California to do it with anyone underage, no matter the age, so you know, I gave it some extra "oomph" to flip off "the man".

Otherwise everything was the same when I was 18. I was still in high school and I was still working and I'd been thrown out of my parents' home for 2 years by then so yeah, no big changes.

Now 21, that was neat. Not that I did anything different per se, but the simple fact that I didn't have to sneak around anymore was excellent.

At 18, you can own property and credit cards and die in a war and kill yourself and those around you with cigarettes, and chasing 16-year-olds suddenly is illegal in many places. Boring.

At 21, you can gamble and drink and go into the "good" bars and do all those naughty things you couldn't (legally) before. Much more fun.

 

[Lauren Revolt]

Well what I did is quite awkward because I started to learn how to be responsible and open minded, as of me an adult..
I also made a paypal account and go online shopping right away, hahah!!

That can't be helped.

I'm already 21 now and still, some things hasn't changed since then.. :dead:

 

[Erichermit]

I think some people are missing what I said. Not all, but some.

I don't mean what you did legally as an adult.

I mean, what did you do as a legal adult? I don't care if you were boozin' it up at 12, tell me that sandwhich you ate when you turned 18. Please, nobody else say that you just kept on doing the same stuff. I'm just talking random events.

And yeah, Venetia. To be honest I don't feel like an adult at all. It seems to me that adulthood really comes more around 21. To me, I'm still a teenager.

Why?  If that was the law you couldn't drive a car before then, you couldn't go to clubs unless the bouncers were more lenient/retarded than I've ever experienced they are.  You couldn't vote, you couldn't buy cigarettes without a hassle (depending on how old you look).  Other than fucking the laws genuinely do prevent you at least where I live anyway.

It is funny though, I remember on my girlfriends 18th I was 17 and she was going clubbing but NO I can't because I'm too young and I'd just get drunk and act like a little immature baby because shes two months more mature than me.

They should group people into school years rather than birth date.  Then everyone can go out the same day and the people born in August don't have to stay in the whole of their college life while everyone else is out.

...and Erichermit, you're a male right?  You'll never grow up.

 

[The Cry of Fallen Angels]

To summarise: How many underage people do you know that have never, ever, had alchohol for example. The few that haven't and decide to get drunk and potentially alchohol poisoning on their first day of "adult-hood" annoy me.

 

[Calibre]

I agree no one does that, but a coming of age birthday is still appreciated not because "WOW, I'm a grown-up I can open mu mouth and drink" but because "WOW, I can now moderately think for myself and do as I see fit without the man breathing down my neck."
