    Unhappy I feel old.

    That's what you get for turning 18. Or becoming legal.

    Turning 18 is overrated. It's been 30 minutes already and nothing special is happening.

    Oh yeah, and on the eve of my coming of age, I wish you all the best and have a wad of from me.

    You'll get your vote and stuff when you are 18 yea?

    18 is nothing in Japan... We don't even get to drink or smoke until we become 20. We'll get to drive though.

    Nothing worth it in america, you can smoke and you can vote but i wont get to vote for president until i am 21 (oh the irony). So unless you are all up for smoking its not a huge deal.

    As you grow older, the only thing that you really find out about age is that it's just another number.

    Im with you there mate. I had some friends over, it was ok. Went out for the first time to a bar. It hit me as the guy checked my ID, having turned 18 only 2 minutes previously (2 past midnight on the morning of my birthday)

    I could do anything. I could go out, I could smoke, drink and do the nasty from the behind pasty.

    But I don't, nor do i want to.

    18 was the last birtday that you really have to look forwards to. Up until the age of 10 you are constantly trying to make yourself older by adding halves and quarters to your age. Then once you hit double digits you start looking forwards to 16 when you can drive, and then towards 18 when you can drink without parental supervision. After that it just becomes a number, I'm now 21 and the last birthday I looked forwards to was my 18th.

    I went to some bar when I was 17, even went to some Bowling and I entered there (You had to be 18 because they sold alcoholic drinks)

    Oh, and I voted for my first time. I'm glad that I have voted, and my party got victorious in the Diputates and Second in Senators.

    So... Edy, enjoy life! Don't feel that you are old, ask people if they are happy enough with their age. I, and just me, would like to be EVEN older. But that's me, you know.

    Happy Birthday, Edyz! Maybe 18 is just another number, but it's still a reason to drink.

    Whenever I start to consider my getting older, I look at the alternatives.

    Thank you Tosa.

    Yes, now I'm actually doing the driving school in order to obtain the drivers license earlier.

    @Pevergreen

    I got into bars before I was 18, and although it's a lot of fun if you are with friends, over and over again gets boring. So yeah, clubs, driving license and buying stocks are the only things I'm gonna be looking forward to from now on.

    @Miotas

    I think your advice will turn true in the next years for me...

    @Caius

    Don't wish you were older. I still wish I was 17, that way I have extra protection in case I do some stupid things along the way.

    @Martok

    Thank you.

    There we go, I'm now almost 24 and still don't have a driver's license.

    Don't know whether that means you're really old or whether I'm just backwards, probably the latter though.

    Also happy birthday, enjoy it while you still can.

    You're not alone. I cannot stand driving, in fact I'm terrified of it. Public transportation is my friend.

    Happy Birthday edyzmedieval! My advice: enjoy the time of no responsibility/nothing happening while it lasts.

    Join the club. I've never sat a driving test let alone passed one - and don't really care to be honest as I can get the train everywhere living here. My instructors needed a double whisky and a lie down after an hour out on the road with kamikaze caravel.

    Belated happy birthday edyz

    I blame the brits. The sales manager at work has a kid and can't drive a car.

    It's understandable though, look how small the country is. Half a day's walk and you can get from London to Edinburgh. In Australia you couldn't live without a car. It's also a bit of a comming of age thing, you're not really a man until you've gotten your first car.

    Another belated Happy Birthday! Have a drink on me!

    Personally, as a child of the Protestant Tolerance System of America, my favorite birthday was my 21st, when I could buy alcohol. I was trashed for about a week. Now that I'm 23, it's more of a balancing act; I'm always worried that I'm about to cross the line with the Freshmen chicks at my college between being the older dude and the creepy older dude.

    Avoided this as long as I could...d00d 18...Damn, what I wouldn't give to be that age again now, had been in relationship for 3 years by then & was a crazed drunk, (there's more but this is neither the time nor the place to get into it). What I wouldn't give to go back, chuck her, stop drinking, & give up smoking.

    Back on topic...Enough of this "I feel old rubbish", time enough for that later, when you're bed bound, toothless, incontinent & think everyones called Ruby, oh and you may be bald too btw!

    You know when you're really old Ruby? When the police all start looking like they should still be at school. Until that time, get off your beehind, go out & be an unruly teen like your supposed to, its what old people expect.

    And a belated Happy Birthday.
