This is a question Things we do to fit in

"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."

What have you done to fit in?

B3ta.
I try to fit in around here honestly. I talk about sex and coo at pictures of kittens and put : ) on the end of my sentence when I'm happy and : ( when I'm sad.

But I don't really think it's working because:

1. I'm old
2. I know bugger all about computers
3. I don't like console games or heavy metal
4. I'm not really that clever or funny
5. I rarely get pissed anymore
6. Can't do photoshop


Still I haven't been asked to leave yet....which is nice.

You seem to be doing just fine to me honey!
I'm still trying to work out how to post photos etc on my profile page and despite being told how to endless times I still can't do it!
My user name is very apt!

Just like everyone else...
...we're just acting young, computer-savvy, gamer-like, clever, drunk and funny to try to fit in.

Yeah, I tick all the boxes.
I'm so fuckin' cool.

I'm not crying inside, honest...

@NO3L
So I'm the Ying to B3ta's Yang.



Sure I make people laugh but only when I take my clothes off.

I think I can tick most of those myself
1. Yes - Even though i'm only 20 i sometimes feel alot older.

2. No - I know more about computers than most of my friends do.

3. Yes - console games come and go like latest fashions and trends, and heavy metal does my head in.

4. Yes - I swear over the past 4 or 5 years my IQ has dropped a couple of dozen points, I used to be one of the cleverest in my class, now I barely come off as average. As for funny, I can't judge that myself but my friends seem to think I am.

5. Yes - Cos when I do I have a penchant for trying to kill anyone who even looks at me when I'm drunk.

6. Yes - I can't do photoshop, period.

You're not alone.
And being old doesn't make you of less worth than all these common or garden young whippersnappers around here.

I'm old(er) than this lot, but....

1. I invented computers. (well, I was there at the time) and they might be all whiz and wow with their high-end apps, but do they even know Assembler? How about CP/M? yeah, thought not.

2. I was playing The True Metal on a semi-valve and Fender when their *parents* were kids. They do not Know The Metal. They know whiny-emo kiddie-rock. All Hail May & Malmsteen!

3. I will kick their asses at any console game of their choice, providing its not on teh gay handheld stuff. Halo, bitches? step up!

4. Funny? Clever? Cut me teef on the likes of Sorry I haven't a clue, The Goon Show and Monty Python. Some of it might actually be new to them.

5. Getting pissed is a game for youngsters I grant you, but developing a knowledge of fine whiskeys and wines is the symbol of maturity. *hic* *rustles brown paper bag with unidentifiable bottle of grog in it*

6. Photoshop? Whats that? Is it like Boots when you take your kodacolour films? *scratch*
