-- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 10:01 am on July 10, 2009 It's strange, because I still use that line sometimes... but it sounds strange.  Being 19 and saying, "when I get older, I want to do ____" sounds rather awkward...  But it's true, technically I'm always getting older, right? Anyone else happen to think that it's rather strange?  I always think of 'when I grow up' or 'when I get older' to refer to a little child talking about adulthood.  Not an adult talking about... later adulthood. -- Posted by Mods1Blow2Me3Daily at 10:02 am on July 10, 2009 im doing what i always said id do. premed to become an orthopedic surgeon, same as my dad -- Posted by airemaye at 10:03 am on July 10, 2009 Yeah. I do that too. Sometimes I start to say "When I grow up, I..." but then I stop myself, because I remember that I'm 18. Instead, I try to say, "Well, in the future I want to..." -- Posted by awexome at 10:03 am on July 10, 2009 I know what you mean...yeah. I have kind of stopped that way of thinking though, saying "when I get older"...because now's the time. What we do today will affect tomorrow. -- Posted by Prankster28 at 10:05 am on July 10, 2009 Oww... u arent the one who think so... i still think so, i grow up year to year, but always thinking about it. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 10:06 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from airemaye at 10:03 am on July 10, 2009 Yeah.

Yeah... exactly!  I usually correct or stop myself, lol. -- Posted by Gruadia at 10:08 am on July 10, 2009 Oh, wouldn't it be nice if we were older. Then we wouldn't have to wait so long...
