I will never give up my Lucky Charms. My hubby will never give up his Fruity Pebbles.

I have clothes from the 80s and 90s that I still fit into. I am 38...

I'm still a picky eater. I've gotten a little bit better over years.

I use Downy Wrinkle Releaser instead of ironing my clothes.

Damn you and your spoilers! (jokes - but I always find myself around folks who spoil movies and TV shows I've always been meaning to watch. I STILL don't want anyone to tell me how LOST ends.)

I'm a big kid because...

I still pout about cleaning my room.
Love to fill up my cereal bowl with milk (we were milk conservatives growing up, and since I live alone, a quart of milk goes bad if I don't use it quickly enough).
Almost always get sprinkles on my ice cream
blow bubbles in my drink when no one's looking

I also might jump on the bed when in a hotel.

I have a nightly battle with this too. Like Jerry Seinfeld said, it's Night Guy vs. Morning Guy. Night Guy wants to stay up late and figures "Screw Morning Guy, it's his problem if he has to get up early."

Basically I'm still a kid because I don't have any, so there's no one to make me feel old and no reason to act my age! :p

Finally! Another adult that watches Degrassi!My younger sister got me hooked on the earlier seasons and i've been obsessed ever since. Although, I haven't watched the newer seasons (anything beyond season 10). I love the original TNG cast with Paige, Spinner, Jimmy, JT, Emma, Liberty etc.

I honestly like the newer cast members better than the older cast! I suppose its apples and oranges, but I think maybe the newer hires were better trained as actors.

I'm with you on Degrassi! I used to have the earlier seasons on DVD. I used to live in Michigan so we somehow managed to swing a Canadian TV station in pre-cable days. :)

Looks like you can watch full episodes on youtube. :)

-I still sing the old Toys-R-Us jingle (especially, when I am in denial about my adult status).
-I still have (and love) the Wishbone stuffed animal I got for Christmas in the 5th grade.

Haha, I do this too!

I read YA fiction.
I also prefer to eat sugary kids cereals, mostly because my mom NEVER let us when I was a kid. (My children don't know how good they have it).
I play an online game that is also played by 80% children.
I threw a shitfit when SoapNetwork went off the air. Not having my old school 90210 available on weekend mornings sucks. I miss "Breakfast in Bed."
I don't separate laundry by color. If something is really dark, I might keep it out and wash it on it's own. But that's about it.
I brush my daughters' My Little Pony's hair, Barbie's hair, and American Girl doll hair. I cannot stand ratty doll hair, ever.
I don't know how to cook well. Pancakes, grilled cheese, eggs, chicken n noodles, sloppy joes, and burgers is about my extent.
A happy Saturday is when I sleep until 10AM, read in bed until noon, get food, and read in bed the rest of the day and shirk all responsibilities.
I make those stupid bracelets. All of them.

Don't worry...even if someone tried to explain it, they'd probably fail miserably. I watched that show religiously, but it got more and more complicated. I think I'd have to go back and watch the whole thing again to really put it all together, and I don't have that kind of time.

I still sleep with stuffed animals.
I love Avatar: The Last Airbender.
All those "kid foods" like chicken nuggets (McDonalds... yum), mac 'n cheese, Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes... I really think my dentist hates me from the sheer amount of sugar I eat.
My ideal ice cream is a soft serve chocolate/vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles.
I'm very excitable. I think it might be a little off-putting, but most days I'm visibly happy and cheerful about the smallest things and I'll make up songs for 90% of the things I'm doing at the time.

Just checking to see if you were one of the cool kids. :)

Ditto. I kind of fell off with the newer cast. Not that they aren't good, I just don't deal well when the cast changes over. My favorite season was 4.

Ditto. I am EXTREMELY expressive. When I'm happy, I giggle until my nose wrinkles, jump up and down, and all sorts of "un-adult" responses. My friend has nicknamed one of my expressions as "the wonder face." When I get overwhelmed with the awesomeness of something, my eyes go big and my mouth falls open. I have tried to find a face that's a little more dignified but you know what, it's my face and it's not changing any time soon. ;)
