    Whats the matter? Are the team of shrinks you are seeing not helping with the madness in your head? Maybe you need a few more to analyze your other personalities.

    I don't think that was fair, I think that was uncalled for.

    i turned 30 last year and got married the year before that - your priorities change. some say you sell out when you buy a house in the suburbs but i don't see it. you just want stability and to provide for your family.

    I don't think you "sell out" but I think it sounds super boring (and horrible for the planet)! I'm 30, but I still have no idea why anyone on earth would willfully live in the suburbs. there's absolutely no benefit to it (though costs include: habitat fragmentation, pollution and over use of natural resources for transportation, larger homes and therefore more energy and land use, loss of community, and public health problems including obesity. Plus, if you live in the suburbs, there's like nowhere to go and everyone's isolated, and anytime you want to do something fun you have to get in your car. plus there's nastiness like big box stores and shopping malls and highways-basically the anti-culture). It was a horrible idea to build them in the first place. And americans are WAY too obsessed with "buying a house." Buying a house is not some sort of right of passage, it's just a purchase. I rent my house but 1) I LOVE it and 2) it's still a huge responsibility- my rent is higher than most people's mortgage payments. Seriously I hate when people say that their "priorities change" when they reach a certain age. All the "priorities" they are talking about are usually fairly selfish.

    oh also, I think all of you are really remembering a sugar-coated version of college life. I LOVED college but come on, what about studying 9, 10 hours a day? What about not getting a key element in a class with an exam fast approaching? What about applying for internships and jobs and scholarships and getting your financial aid taken care of every year? I'm not saying all that was some terrible hardship, but it wasn't "carefree." You still had responsibilities (I considered college my "job"). Plus no matter how old you are there are always family responsibilities and obligations. I had fun college, but I think I still have about the same amount 8 years later, I just don't end up with my head over the toilet every weekend.

    Let me explain. I have a few myself. I like them. I don't mind chics who do either. But this girl had a nice look on the outside, then BAM! It was biker chic USA! Like a rose and fire with a sword down the side of her leg about 12 inches long. All sorts of crazy outlandish stuff. Biker Tatoos are different then regular tatoos. I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to explain it. LOL
    I don't see the problem.

    Tattoos = cool
    Hot girls = cool

    Hot girl on outside, with tattoos = awesome.

    My parents didn't pay for my college, so there were no real carefree days quite like two of my sons are having right now! We pay all their costs and for cars too! But I did manage to do all that you had fun doing while in college...and lived to talk about it :p . You can still have a blast right now while raising your family...go on vacations or weekends away as often as you can...it makes life so much more fun to escape the mundane. That is what we did and continue to do...gives you something to look forward to and keeps life from getting boring. We did it on a shoe sting budget too...lots of camping and staying with friends. My kids thank me now for making such a fun carefree childhood for them.

    I'm not carefree, but I'm really enjoying my life right now for the most part. There are a few things I'd change, but I am smiling every day when I get out of bed. :)

    No. I'm in the opposite, crappiest, responsible part.
