My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Both of my brothers are going to be grownups before me.

I've been a homeowner for 25 years, but I don't feel like a grownup. Would I feel more grownup if I had kids? If I had stayed married? If I was a corporate VP? You have good friends, you keep working towards your goals and you keep learning. I think that's as grownup as anyone should aspire to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hee hee hee! Erin said BF!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Life is hard - learning to manage your own is what makes one a grown-up. I used to feel that I had to have a husband, a house, a CAREER, and maybe even kids to be a real adult, but I don't think so anymore. Now, I feel very much the same as Erin. I'm 42 years old. I pay my own bills, usually on time, I do my job reasonably well, I don't eat candy all the time, and I don't mess up other people's property. That's grown-up enough.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

BEST FRIEND, fool.

I'm am still leery of the boyfriend word. My friend tried to use it on my this weekend, and I shied like a spooked horse. 5 dates do not a a BoyF make.

(DO they? Oh, god, I feel sick...)

VW, you are so totally NOT a failure. Fitting the Expected Template for Adulthood doesn't make one suddenly more mature or successful than the rest of the world, and not fitting it doesn't mean you're somehow less worthwhile or mature.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hell, I'd even say that the Expected Template types are often the least successful -- IME only, and no offense to Templatey types here, of course.

Thanks, Trud. The room started to spin, and my vision greyed....

I am 33 years old and have never had a boyfriend. I think I may be too old to start. It's so...weird to contemplate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I pay my own bills, usually on time, I do my job reasonably well, I don't eat candy all the time, and I don't mess up other people's property. That's grown-up enough.

I heartily endorse Zenkitty for defining "grown-up."
