A few months ago when I was planning on moving to LA, my mother decided she'd try to talk me out of it...  The best thing she could come up with was, "You're almost 30...  You're too old to be starting over." :mad:  I told her that she was almost 60 and too old to talk to me on the phone. :mad:

That comment was really funny coming from her since she hasn't lived in the same house for longer than three years in her adult life...  She's been married three times, and lived in 4 different states...  Not to mention she moved to Greece when she was 43. :icon_rolleyes:

So anyway...  I was reminded of this by a stupid quiz...  http://www.blogthings.com/whatagequiz

It said I was 30... 

I'm not 30!!!!   :cry:

Some of the questions didn't give ME any good options to choose. :icon_razz:


It said I acted 33. Now, how does 33 act differently from 32 or 34, huh????  :bs:

It said I was 30...which means I'm not as grumpy or crotchety as Pandy.  :icon_razz:

Yeah...  I had to pick the closest on a few...  I don't watch any of those shows.   :icon_razz:

Wow...your mother sounds a lot like mine...only mine's nuts.

The quiz had a few questions that were either completely inapplicable, or had answers that were inapplicable, so I just randomly guessed:

You Are 25 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
What Age Do You Act?

I'll be turning 25 this September.

I'd put $5 on the line to say that, if we compared, mine would win.  :laugh:

That's a good possibility...  But, I'd have to up the anti with an ex-GF...  She always wins crazy contests.    :laugh: :laugh:

lucky there...my girls have only been mildly nuts, no extremes yet...

She'd spent time locked away...   :cookoo:  I dodged quite a few bullets when we broke up...  She lost totally lost it...  After trying to kill herself and some other people, she got all coked out, then got knocked up, then the baby-daddy ODed...  SHEESH!!!  Friggen nut job.  I work with one of her ex-BFs actually...  Pretty funny...  He's a little more scared that I am. :laugh:

holy cow...that's nuts (no pun).

Quote from: makenzie71 on January 19, 2006, 04:32:46 PMholy cow...that's nuts (no pun).

:laugh:  Uh yeah...  She had a weird obsessions with Cow Print and Depeche Mode.   :dunno_white:  I don't get either of them.

I am so 26.

You Are 26 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

Even though I just turned 38.  I'm probably the youngest 38 year old there is.  Either that or I'm psycho.

Yeah... Way to rub it in.   :cry:  I'm just old and dull now I guess...

At least my wife tells me I'm young...  That's what she means when she says, "You're like a 12 year old" right? :laugh:

it says 20-27 blah blah blah.

i'll turn 34 in march.

i just want to retire already.

Hmm....maybe I should start a poll......   :icon_lol:

Ha mine was 20  :thumb:....funny it says I act older than aj  :laugh:

ya ya ya I have never claimed to act my age!!!! :kiss3: :kiss3: :kiss3:

i guess i really shouldnt be surprised that it says im 15 (23). Today (its 12:49 am here) is my last day of work. and ive spent the last week planing on what kind of pranks im going to pull on people in the office. So far one person has already gotten dish soap on a few keys on there keyboard and there mouse. and i hung up a bunch of pictures of meat around one guys desk (hes a vegitarian)

WOOOHOOO!!!!....I may be 28 in the real world, but I'm 18 at heart and now I have the test scores to prove it....

You Are 27 Years Old

Well damn. That's a bit off now, isn't it? I'll be turning 20 in September.

It guessed my age right on. How did it do that.. must be magic.

Yeah, I dont watch any of thoes shows, actually many of the questions could have gone 2 or more ways. I was starting to see the 'young kids pick these answers' trend, and for some reason, didn't want to get a result of 10.

It said I was 27.  In real life, I just turned 31, so that makes me feel good. 

Pandy, if figured out what you dont like about the quiz:
You don't like the Stones, White Stripes, or Guns 'n Roses, right?

Mine said 25, but it's only off by a few years, I guess it was the spongebob answer that skewed the results.  Should probably exclude that one as an outlyer.

My result said I act 26.

In reality, I am 25.

Close! Wow, I didn't realize I was so damn well adjusted!!!!

I AM NORMAL!!! WEEEEEE DOGGY!!! w00t, w00t!  O0

Said I was 28. I just turned 24. I attribute the extra 4 years on a stressful job where I constantly act older than I am just to get respect.

Don't know WS, the Stones are fine, GnR are fine, but I don't think any of them are the greatest of rock 'n' roll.  :icon_mrgreen:

That's 'cause you're OLD OLD OLD...    :icon_razz:

The White Stripes' new album is too weird for my tastes. De Stijl and White Blood Cells are still probably their best. Get Behind Me Satan... just... wtf^max

The new one has a few good cuts on it (Blue Orchid, My Doorbell, The Denial Twist, Take, Take, Take)...  But, the album is really self-serving.

That's usually what happens when musicians get fame and fortune.  :nono:

Back in the old days, record companies wouldn't give musicians much money at all...  It ensured that they kept producing good music.  These days musicians get so much more money from record sales (still much less than the record company)...  Not to mention outside sources like commercials in Japan and whatnot.



But...  I voted for the Rolling Stones on that one...  Since the White Stripes aren't really Rock-N-Roll. :dunno_white:

Eh, Blue Orchid was the only good song on there, I felt. I put the Rolling Stones too. Good new rock and roll, I feel, includes Jet, The Gadjits, The Toadies, and Spoon. I think Queen should have been an option though.

Totally should have Queen...  And KISS...  You know, for all the 30 year olds.   :laugh:

You old fogies I miss the days of yore, though, when good rock and roll was abundant. Now the "rock" scene is filled with crap.

Yeah...  It's all Coldplay and that kind of shaZam!...  I hate it.  It's so nice to hear some real rock-n-roll from time to time.

There was a local band that I really like...  I was SO hoping they'd get signed, but they broke up instead. :cry:

That's because the Seattle rock scene is dead.


Nice story.  Maybe you should set out a few plays, champ.   :laugh:

It's not totally dead...

There's at least one Seattle band I know that still plays rock...  Link (http://www.eviltwinrocks.com)

I'd also like to add that Louis XIV is some EXCELLENT modern rock. Old influences, modern flair.
