I'm 16 years old...
I agree with almost everything that they say on Grumpy Old Men.

I have my dad's music taste (70's/80's rock). It's much better than that hip-hop shit that most teenagers like.

I don't drink for the sake of getting pissed. In fact, it's pretty rare that I drink.

I hate spending money on clothes (though I am still at the age where I can con my mum into buying them).

And I want to destroy MacDonalds. For ever. Blow it off the face of the earth. I havn't eaten fast food for years.

Ooo just remembered some more. On the rare occasion that I now use Instant Messenger, I type properly.

I know how to use the semi-colon.

I read on the toilet.

My little sister's just turned 10. Soon she'll be cooler than me (if she isn't already).

I like wearing a suit.

I've started to find shaving a chore.

I read books. For fun. More than I play computer games (though if I got a new computer that might change).

I think football is dull.

On 1/2 term, I'm posting on b3ta and getting my 1/2 term prep out of the way instead of being down the boozer with my mates.

I have conversations with my parents.

I read broadsheet newspapers (though not business or editorial yet).

I recently attended one of my dad's business meetings (we were going to see my ailing grandmother, but he had to go to a meeting on the way... oh stop making excuses).

I was better dressed than some people there.

I cheer/groan more loudly at the news than I do at the football.

So there.
