- MMMT - 11-09-2012 10:52 AM
I guess I'm a bit like harrison. I'm 18 btw
I don't have much of a social life. I'm content that way
I'm interested in biology, chemistry and physics. moreso biology
I like running. Most people I've talked to (when in HS) hated running. Don't see what's so bad about it.
I do not use facebook that much. I only go on it to chat with 1 or 2 friends. That's it. I spend around 30 seconds a day.
I have an interest in certain histories.
Pretty much it.
your cheese passion sounds awesome
oh and I don't know if this is really untypical for my age group, but I'm willing to put effort into video games. If I need to do a ton of research to get good at a game like starcraft 2, I will do it. Seems like my generation is the "ADD instant gratification more action and explosions" types.

I'm 22. I'm into books and medieval history, I like going to museums, I work in a library, I collect rock crystals and antique furniture, I write poetry and I can knit.
I have zero interest in clubbing, pubbing, general binge drinking, smoking and casual sex.
Sometimes I think I'm secretly 90 inside =)

Well I am 21 years old and I have no idea what is typical of my age group or not. But here are a few things about me....
1. I don't drink alcohol
2. I love young adult novels/Disney movies
3. I love sewing. I also know how to knit, crochet, and weave using a loom.
4. I have never had a boyfriend
5. I'm greatly fascinated about other countries and cultures
6. While I do have a facebook (jumped on that bandwagon at sixteen), I just really don't understand the point of twitter, instagram, or pintrest.
7. I still live at home and like it
8. I don't need caffeine to function (not that it wouldn't help on some mornings haha)
I'm pretty sure for the most part I'm fairly typical. I might have stereotyped my own age group a bit though.

I'm twenty-one.
- I've never been on a date or had a girlfriend (or boyfriend) of any kind
- I don't drink and never have
- I prefer reading to watching TV
- I'm celibate
- I prefer speaking to people online than having an actual social life
- I don't "party" or "go clubbing"
- I still sleep with a very worn Teddy-bear and can't sleep without it
- I hang out with people old enough to be my parents/grandparents
- I'm obsessed with Disney

I'm not sure if these are the sort of things you're looking for, but there you have it.

I'm not on facebook or Instagram and I'm not planning on having either one. I don't listen to a lot of music.

I've frequently been called an old soul (I'm seventeen), and I like that. I'm really into "older" things: classical music, twentieth century music and books, Shakespeare, antiques, vinyl albums (though I realize that's "hipster")... all those delightful things. Also, I'm a fan of "old-fashioned" ideals: belief in ladies/gentlemen, being polite, respectful, modest, etc.
On top of that, typical teenage activities never appealed to me. I never liked high school dances, drinking, drugs (actually, I've never done drugs or drank alcohol, and I never plan to), parties... I don't even have a driving permit (a recent history of seizures = I'm not allowed to drive until I'm cleared). I've also never had a crush on anyone. I feel like I have more important things to do than have a relationship—like write. I'm really into writing.
I had a really hard time relating to the majority of my classmates in high school, which is part of the reason why I opted to graduate early last year and start college.

I'm 15 years old.
Some things I'm obsessed/in love with:
- Old films. Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Ingar Bergman... I'm in love with the classics. Most people only know Marilyn Monroe or something, but I adore Lauren Bacall, James Dean and Jimmy Stewart more than anything. Actually, just films in general. My favourite director ever is Martin Scorsese and most kids my age are like, "Who is that, those films sound boring, I want to watch 21 Jump Street." And none of them even know that 21 Jump Street is based on a 1980s TV show and I had to explain to everyone why Johnny Depp had a cameo. It's rather frustrating. The Graduate, from 1967, is my second favourite film. Yeah, I'm just a massive cinephile.
- 1940s/50s/60s fashion, history and lifestyle. I would pay a million dollars to be transported back in time to be a teenager living in America during the 1950s. Everyone else I know thinks it's boring and how there was no sex and drugs back then and I have to tell everyone, "Yes, there was. The media was just censored is all." I love the noir films and the the gangster films and the idea of listening to records and wearing nice dresses and UGH I HATE BEING A TEENAGER IN THIS DAY AND AGE!!! I've been listening to Simon & Garfunkel since I was 12 and The Beatles since I was about six.
- I also like trivia (like QI, which is one of my favourite television programs), museums, art galleries and old buildings. I have absolutely no interest in clubbing, in fact the very idea terrifies me. Unlike the rest of my peers, I find alcohol gross but smoking not entirely unappealing. Maybe I'm the only one out there who thinks a good-looking guy smoking is very attractive
