Only 1 month and 14 days until I can buy porn and smokes. Legally, that is.

Yup. So will you send me a present? 🙂

And I think I found the AOL boards when I was 13, though I joined here shortly before I turned 15. Hmm.

I’m 18.

I turn 19 in July.

I still have to show ID when I buy beer and I get off paying childrens fare on the bus 9 out of 10 times.

I can’t deside if this is a good thing or not.

1. Turn 19 in August. I haven’t had to show ID for at least 3 years now if I buy beer. (But don’t tell anybody.) And children’s fare… my god, I had to fight for my right to travel at half-price those last two years! 😛

**Jack Batty** , you surprised me there for a moment… 🙂

Hmmm, tell ya what Jess - I’ll send you a present, if you send me a present. If I remember 😉 (HA!).

Blue Curls, I’ll flirt with you - I’m younger than you are, but it’s ok. I dunno if there’s a some kind of age-of-consent for flirting, but 17 puts me well over it. Hell, in my state, I’m above that _other_ age of consent :eek:. Now there’s a scary thought.
