I mean....in social situations, if you're being d-uh stupid, in retrospect, you can just go "I was being na-ee-ve wasn't I" and sulk for a bit, and people treat you like it was a virtue! :D
This is brilliant, I think I'm finding more and more ways to shirk adulthood!
So I'm talking to this guy from work, and telling him how I thought the one brilliant bit about adulthood was being able to eat whatever you felt like and call it a meal... Like when you were a kid and you'd want more cookies near mealtimes, adults would always be telling you off and saying cookies would ruin your appetite... And now you can just eat them for dinner, as many as you want, nobody's stopping you! And later you can call your folks and say 'Ma, I ate cookies for dinner' and grin like an idiot when they are annoyed at you! They can't hurt me after I'm done with my cookie meal, can they :D
So anyway, this guy, he looks at me and says 'Yea, but eventually you have to grow up'...And I'm staring at him, I don't know what to say... He's evidently not getting the humor, so I say "This is how grown up I am! I'm not growing up anymore, I'm 24. How old will I be when I realize cookies don't make a meal, they actually screw my appetite? 60? That'll be a lil late for realization, don't you think?" and he looks at me like I'm diseased. Ugh. People, I tell you.
If the bus I had been waiting for hadn't turned up, I swear I'd have done something reasonably evil to him.
Anyway, I just scribbled this post 'coz I had to hallmark this historic day. The birth of the unlikely (unwilling) superhero buddies....Sloppy Sloth and Highlander. Let there be light (drinks and a bite would be better, though!).
