I got tagged with this meme by Noel - put an X next to the items in the list which apply to you, tot up the frequency of Xs and that's the age that you'll get married. (What do you do if the total is 3 or something? Wait, don't answer that.) So let's see how this turns out...
[X] I know how to make a pot of coffee. (I can make my father's coffee. That's even harder!)
[X] I keep track of dates using a calendar. (...There's something else you can use?)
[ ] I own more than one credit card. (Ha! No.)

So... If you are responsible, dedicated to your work, a credit to your parents, politically aware, careful of your health, lax when it comes to paying bills and completely obsessed with caffeine, you'll marry later.
Man, that's depressing. I'm going to go mow someone else's lawn and get drunk on coffee.

haha you did this! yay so nice to know my friends read my blog. (do post a comment once in a while, just to remind me you're lurking!) and you're the oldest of us to get married. This thing IS for fun, though. There's no real accuracy in it. And I realised you all put comments next to the items on the list. I was too lazy to do that! heh.
'Course I read it. I thought you knew that from me solving codes and suchlike.
... I'm supposed to de-lurk now? And lose my cape of anonymity? But... but... I'm a ninja!
I realise it is for fun, but you have to admit there is a certain truth to the trends there. People who are workaholics tend to consume a lot of coffee, and then also tend to put career first because, duh, they're workaholics.
I put comments on everything because I like to justify my choices. RP habit.
haha I wanted to justify my choices too except that I was lazy!!!! Even switching to rich-text format was too much work, lol.
