Ah ha!!

I bet you were one of those minions who shredded the embarrassing documents for Enron!

The "serious" in the serious romantic relationship was supposed to imply that. I guess it is my fault for trying to be tactful when I should have been blunt.

Well crap. That means 13 years old for first intercourse, and 18 years old for my first serious (living together) relationship.

Oerdin, Mr. Fun:

Actually, it was at the local school, which, AFAIK, has no connections to either Enron or Arthur Andersen.

Pretty much all of what got shredded were old report cards.

So instead of just pleading guilty to save us all time, you're coming up with this loony defense??


Oh, by the way, I have turned a quarter-century old today.
I think turning 25 is one of those milestones in a person's aging for some reason.

Re: How old were you when...

1) moved out of your parent's house - 18, for college

2) Had your first serious romantic relationship - serious, huh, as opposed to frivolous? 19

3) Got your first car - got my uncle's beat-up Datsun when I was 16. Only drove it twice before I realized I was better off without.

4) Got you first job - 18.

5) Learned to ride a bike - 6.

6) Learned to swim - about 8 or 9.

7) Bought your first share of stock - 24 (joined 401k).

8) Opened your first credit card account - 22.

9) First kissed a romantic interest - 15.

10) Got married or would like to get married - 25, and better luck next time . . .

1) You moved out of your parent's house.

While I am away at school, I haven't officially moved all my stuff out yet.

2) Had your first serious romantic relationship.

I haven't yet fallen in love, despite many shallow relationships.

3) Got your first car.

I bought my first car at 17, a '96 Olds Cutlass Supreme 2 door in 1998.

4) Got you first job.

At 15, I worked at the farmers' market... my first taxable income came at 16 when I got a job at Pizza Hut.

5) Learned to ride a bike.

I can't remember how old, but I remember the first time I rode without training wheels. I was 5 I believe.

6) Learned to swim.

Hmmm, probably around 5 years old. I remember the dreaded 'swimming lessons'.

7) Bought your first share of stock.

I have yet to officially buy stock through a broker (and I don't plan on it ever). The stock market is for greedy capitalists and ignorant investors who lose money to greedy capitalists. Although, I do have about 2 grand in a 401k which is basically stock.

8) Opened your first credit card account.

The day I turned 18.

9) First kissed a romantic interest.

14.

10) Got married or would like to get married.

I'm not married yet. I don't have any sort of plan because I fail to see how someone would plan to fall in love. I could meet that person tomorrow, or in 20 years, or never. I would like to get married and raise a family, probably before I hit 30. But I'm not going to marry someone unless I'm sure, they're the one.

First of all, I am 17 right now.

I will move out about this time next year when I'm shipped off to Art School... woo hoo!

December to May 2001/2002. I cant stand her now.... she;s attempting to talk to me on MSN...

I had the dumb lawnmowing job for a while, but my first job was when I was 16, working on a farm.

When I was five, I believe.

I was swimming at about four or five, also. Not well, mind you.

Not yet. Stocks are just glorified gambling. I'd rather play poker.

I don't have a credit card, but this year, I got a Interac card.

First romantic kiss was when I was 14. It sucked... he he he

I hope to get married in the late twenties or early thirties.

I have an awful memory. Very long time ago.

Same here.

Never!
