25 SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE GROWN UP

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and
pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to
drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead
of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"
Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one. Then
you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends (or put it in the GDF in my case) 'cause you know they'll do the same.

27. You don't blame liberals for everything and you don't get banned a dozen times for the same damn thing.

Wow, I actually was able to say yes to about 10 things on there. I'm not even 20 yet messed

Though a few (like the drinking ones) definitely don't apply to me as I don't drink at all....

When #4 happens to everyone, that's some harsh reality for you.

I will say one thing, though. I will NEVER qualify for #18! Any time of day I'll take them, thank you very much.

Lana
I wake up at 5:30 for work (on days that I have work) messed other days I get to sleep until about 9 for class.

Chicken wings make me ill as it is stick out tongue

Afro Cheese

not too shabby. i think another one should be

27 (?): you walk past a video game arcade, see the kids on the dancing games and go "what the hell are those crazy kids doing now?"

i've caught myself doing that a few times. never understood that damn game. that and i'm awkwardly clumsy, so i'd dislocate EVERYTHING trying to do it
