Max,
It sounds to me like you are not fully grown. Actually, that is an enviable place to be.
I certainly haven't grown up yet! I think #24 applies to those who haven't grown up also, except drinking before going out is referred to as "pregamming", and if it is not done to save money, it is done because they're not of the age when they can legally buy alcohol in the bar yet. That was certainly the approach before I turned 21...now I pregame.
Idedicated,
I learned something from you. I should have asked one of my sons. He's 24 and also lives in NY. He probably would have known.
Now that I've given up trying to earn money from my blog, I have time to visit and read others' blogs properly. Love this one !
1. I know I'm past "young" when the songs I used to think were "cool" are now being played on the oldies channel on the radio.
2. I've noticed the people who say I'm young and pretty are over sixty.
3. Aircon technicians call me "mam" and say the aircons are antiques and probably older than them.
4. I have no idea how an ipod works.
5. My parents' friends are starting to treat me like their peers.
Karen,
All of yours are worthy additions to the list.
