It depends on your defintion of "grown-up" Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

You have no choice but to grow up in some respects but you can (and should) still have childlike fun when the situation permits (and if it never does then you should change the situation). Unfortunately, most people don't and that makes it seem like growing up means losing your childish ability to enjoy yourself; that isn't the case. Paul

so you can eat at the big table with the adults. "growing up" is not something i think a person does consciously. instead, a person just reaches a point where the decisions he has to make are more important than "what shirt do i wear today". if you don't handle these big decisions with a little bit of responsibility and intelligence, then you're going to end up living with your parents forever. so, IMO, growing up is just having to make the Big Decisions and making them well. -c

Rickard Andersson wrote: I also love Disney movies!! What I find really cool is that you have the balls to admit to that, as a seventeen year old. At 17, I wouldn't have admitted to anything like that. In all honesty, I've never been that keen on Disney Movies (except Lion King, which rules!). Nothing to do with them being childish, just not my taste. If I want childish humour, I look to stuff like Road Trip and American Pie. What I do love is pro-wrestling. That's about as childish as you can get and you won't find many 29 year olds (at least in the UK) admitting to that, but I'm hooked... Nearly every Friday night, in with a curry in time for the wrestling, great stuff. Enjoy what you want to enjoy and never deny it, just have fun. Paul

You're only as young as you feel. Unfortuantely, I feel like I'm about 45 right now.

you grow up automatically when you realize that as a kid, your parents, teachers, priests etc.. have lied to you about the most imporant things in life. You also grow up when you have been abused, when your girlfriend cheats on you and when your boss treats you like sht. You grow up when someone close to you dies or hurts so badly that they cannot talk anymore. You grow up when the banks keep pestering you and the government takes all your money on taxes. It will happen.... eventually... Jeremy Pullicino Professional C++ Developer Done any hacking lately?
