    Signs that you are an adult

    when you're birthday is coming up and your mom asks what you want and gives you a price limit that would include a PS4 and you decide instead to ask for a high end vacuum cleaner because you are tired of how long you are spending on cleaning because yours takes so many passes to actually clean the carpet.
    Is this maturity? It seems so much more boring that I anticipated.

    Could be ^_^ Maturity can be a bit boring at times, but you'll probably live longer...so that you can enjoy the tedium...c_c ...That didn't come out quite right, did it? >_< Let's try again.

    Look at it this way -- the new vac will hopefully save you some time, giving you a little more time to relax and play the PS4 that you will eventually be able to save up for and purchase, now that you don't need to save up for a new vac anymore.

      What EricKei said.

      I look at it this way - if somebody wants to buy me an expensive gift I will go for something that will make life easier. Such as a vacuum, washing machine, and the like. If I still want something at all frivolous I will not feel so bad for buying it at that point.

        Someone tell me why we CELEBRATE getting old?!

        My birthday list has been the same for a long time: nothing. (Come to think of it, that's my Christmas list, too.)

          It is a guilt-free opportunity to eat cake and ice cream.

          Not to mention getting older beats the alternative.

              Being an adult: facing the drain cover that's gotten clogged with hair and soap and yuck, and accepting that it's gonna be you who cleans it.
              Seshat's self-help guide:
              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                Being a grownup means you can eat ice cream for dinner....being mature means knowing that ice cream for dinner is not a great idea...

                  Accepted that challenge when I was still a teenager.

                  These days, I get excited over getting a new DVD from Amazon or a new bottle of perfume.

                  As for the vacuum cleaner, I was SO excited when I got my Dyson I posted a pic of of it on FB.

                    Same here, in a way. I dread Christmas, because when my sister asks what I want, I have no idea what to tell her. Last At least my parents give me money for Christmas, so it's easier.

                    Yeah, but I don't like cake and ice cream.

                      That's the advantage of a birthday. As the birthday person you get to have whatever you want guilt free.

                        I totally misread that.... I was thinking I'd be excited if I got Dyson from Lost Girl.....

                        Can you tell I'm not awake yet?

                          Eating ice cream for dinner every now and then is ok. Just have some extra veggies for a couple of days.

                          Recently my boyfriend told me to pick out one kitchen gadget not more than $200 that I wanted. I thought about it for maybe a full minute and decided on a small chest freezer. This made him pause and look at me oddly. Turns out he'd expected me to go for some toy, basically, some specialty cooking gadget that would maybe get used once a month or so.
