I guess I was acting more like my notion of adult when I was married and working for a big company, but I always felt like an imposter adult. Even owning a house that young was kind of a lark, in that the downpayment on our first house was a second mortgage secured by our cars. Now I live alone and stay out late drinking and listening to live music, something I never did when I was younger.

I guess she took that picture back in 1994 as well. Also, the fact that you can get her program as a podcast makes me laugh and laugh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In 1994, I began to study Internet addiction and over the years realized the growing impact of cyberspace on children and families.

Nah, doesn't look like. Seems bordering on sane, actually. Though I did find this gem in the "addictivity quiz":
