On my sixteenth birthday(week) I got stoned and drunk for 7 very fun days. I decided that I deserved 7 days to celebrate instead of just 1. I had boston cream cake and then terrimisu. I got very very fat.

What did you do on your sixteenth birfday?

Worked.

Saved some lives, but that was part of the job.

On my 16th birthday, I snuck into a karaoke bar, got drunk and sang for about 4 hours, we got kicked out, so we went to my house and partied until about 5am then I had to go to work. I was so sick, a 18 hour shift after a night like that was no fun.

How fun.

Can't remember. It was almost 19 years ago. I guess I had a good time.

My parents took my boyfriend-at-the-time and myself to the Plaza III, one of the most awesome restaurants in town, and I decided there wasn't much I could eat (it's a steakhouse and I'm unable to eat most meat products and spices), so I enjoyed the salad and then we went shopping on the Plaza. It was one of the few years it snowed on my birthday, so my boyfriend paid for a carriage ride (which was awesome), then we went way down south of the city where it had snowed hardcore the past two days and played in a snowy field with a bunch of my friends.

But that was 4 long years ago......:(

You could work that long when you were sixteen? Its a bit illegal where I come from.

and then terrimisu
So you didn't get a dictionary then? ;)

You're not Frank Abagnale Jr are you? What job does a 16 year old do that involves saving lives?

I actually cant remember my 16th. either I got wasted or did something totally unmemorable. Maybe both.

it was illegal (still is) where I am from too. I didn't really see any other way to pay the bills though.

Life-guard.

You know.... I honestly couldn't tell you, I guess I had a party, but it all seems like a blur, I really don't remember (I'm 18) So it must've been good

Dictionary?? Whats that? A cell phone?

yes, i too would be proud of getting drunk and stoned for 7 straight days when i turned 16....


add 20 years to that age it just doesn't seem an appropriate thing to do.

Ah, the youth is wasted on the young (or however that saying goes)

:(
That's what I needed before calling it a day!
I remember exactly what happened on my 16th Earthday ...
First I was in school ... just two or three classmates remembered my birthday :(
When I came home my parents were renovating the living room (I haven't met them in the morning). I accepted it as natural that they will come up to me and congratulate me. No. I expected them to hug me and say "Happy Birthday!" or something. But they failed :(
"Hi son! Great to see you here! You arrive at a perfect time! Come and help us disassembling this huge closet."
I thought "Umm ... okay ... that's a nice idea, will my present be in there?"
Of course it wasn't!
After three long hours helping I said: "Sorry, but I have to leave to meet some friends"
"You can't do that right now. We need your help!" :(
I said: "But they'd be really pissed if I would't appear! I invited them, because it's my birthday!"
...
looong absence ....
"Really??? We totally forgot!!!!"
Me: "I already realised! Thank you! May I go now?"

What a bad theme for me :(

Why didn't you ask about the 18th B'day?
Oh boy, could I tell stories!!! :)

I was probably in school. Then I'd imagine I played some Nintendo with the guys. When I think about it, my birthday was like any Friday, except I got presents instead of homework.

No idea to be honest..... Nothing special
