yes, mom, im growing up now

<p>Oh, my dad didn't want me to take a job I was offered because it involved delivering pizza at NIGHT! GASP!</p>

<p>Meanwhile, when my dad was my age...all the jobs he had involved interacting with complete strangers even later at night. Like transferring people to and from the airport and...</p>

<p>DELIVERING PIZZAS!</p>

<p>Oh, my dad didn't want me to take a job I was offered because it involved delivering pizza at NIGHT! GASP!</p>

<p>No seriously though, thats dangerous. What if someone orders pizza from the ghetto, gasp!</p>

<p>It's such a small place though...I'm pretty sure it's only people from the suburb I live in that order from there. And we only have one murder every 50 years, and the last one was 5 years ago...I'm safe for the next 45 years.</p>

<p>...I'm safe for the next 45 years.</p>

<p>According to the luck of the irish.</p>

<p>I'm actually surprised more people don't get murdered around here, though. It's full of rich people.</p>

<p>And by the way, I'm really not the rich. My grandma sorta is, but the family money is rapidly depleting. So don't hate me, please.</p>

<p>It's full of rich people</p>

<p>I won't hate you if you buy me a IPHONE.</p>

<p>Dude, I don't even have an iPhone. So I'm not about to buy you one.</p>

<p>Seriously, I actually need that job. We're just not rich enough.</p>

<p>So my dad comes home at like 3 (an hour and a half early). It was kinda scary.</p>

<p>...wow I don't come on this forum for a while and apparently you and AOM dominated the threads...LOL</p>

<p>(invoyable) i just have a lot to talk about</p>

<p>AOM just has thoughts to express</p>

<p>I've jaywalked across six lanes of traffic before. Once you have the technique, it's not hard. It also gives a nice adrenaline rush. It's really easy to cross streets if there are sidewalks and crosswalk signs. It's a lot harder if there are no sidewalks, and you have to watch the stoplights. A lot of intersections are like that where I live, because it's a rural area, and every family has 3 or 4 cars, and nobody walks anywhere.</p>

<p>^ i had to jaywalk because one of the crosswalk signs wasn't working. i thought it was just taking a long time, but this chinese couple jaywalked so i tagged along. then i jaywalked BACK to the library alone, and you're right, it's not that hard..most cars would wait for you</p>

<p>My mom was the worst when I got my first girlfriend. (Some of her concern was more than justified ;)) She watched us like a hawk and hated when we even went to the movies alone <em>gasp</em>. I eventually became a pretty good liar, so I didn't have to worry. I'm 17 now and don't really have a curfew (I think).</p>

<p>She is now doing the same thing to my brother, but now she is smothering him worse than she did with me.</p>

<p>Grrr my parents let my brother drive anywhere anytime but won't even let me bike to work, which is only about 3 miles away...</p>

<p>It's annoying because I have so much more control on a bike than driving. I feel much safer, I don't ruin the environment, and I do some exercise.</p>
