I've also officially commited myself to applying for the MLS program at Illinois (Internet version of the program) by asking my boss for a reference. Double eeep!!
Go you!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This is how I know I'm not an adult-- I fantasize about food, other people point out lawnmowers and mortgages and washing machines.
I felt very grown up when I negotiated my raise. Granted I'm still a temp secretary and I don't have many benefits but I did this by myself.
Having a fully stocked pantry instead of just having ramien and easy mac in the pantry and learning how to cook feels like a step toward adulthood for me, but I don't feel like an adult.
Becoming an adult was a gradual process, as I lived with my folks until I was 23 but started paying my own way at 18. A big benchmark for me was choosing a place to live based on location and amenities rather than which one of my friends had an extra bedroom. Also, painting walls in an apartment to put my stamp on it was fairly major.
ZOMG Dana, INSENT.
What? What?!?
Runs to e-mail.
ZOMG. I mean, not unexpected, but still.
What trappings define adulthood for you guys?
I suppose owning a house and paying for its upkeep *should* make me feel like an adult.
Going to a job that I often can't stand because if I didn't, we'd be out in the street.
Bingo. That would be it.
This is really stupid, but I always feel like an adult when I'm traveling, and (a) get off the plane (/bus/whatever) in a place where I don't live, and make my own way to where I'm going, or (b) get off the plane (/bus/whatever) in the place where I do live, make my own way home, let myself in, get the mail, etc.
I think everyone in Natter should mail a spoon to Jesse
BUT THEN THEY WOULDN'T MATCH!!
