When I go to clubs and shows, I spend a lot of time saying, "BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"
Sometimes I attribute this to getting old, but then I recall thinking the same thing when I was going to clubs at 21.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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
I could tell more stories about her, but then people here would start to doubt my intelligence for going out with her....
You were a teenager, its not your brain that was thinking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was very popular my last semester in college, because I was legally 21 and could buy the booze.
Huh. My last semester of high school I was 18, so I could drink legally.
I still didn't drink much at all until I got to college. I think I bought booze once or twice for other people when I was in high school.
Weird. Back then, some high school seniors could drink legally (in WI)....

Shrift - I've been saying something akin to "WHO does that?!?!?" for most of my life - it's not about getting old, it is about people being wrong and not knowing how to act.
caveat - I probably should have gone on a hiatus from saying anything of the kind throughout college, becuase I was often THAT girl and nsm with the acting like I knew how to act.

Now tagless for your comfort.
When I was at Steven Point, it was Point beer. In Madison, it was... damn, wtf was the cheap local beer? It was $5 something for a case! An eight-pack was cheaper than a six-pack of Coke!
We like Point. They have some very good microbrews--Horizon Wheat and their Nude Beach is awesome.

The coolest thing about Point back then was this billboard on the outskirts of Stevens Point. With the slogan, "Brewed with that wonderful Stevens Point water." Which made me wonder - did they get their water upstream or downstream of all the paper mills?

For want of a piece of wire and a lightbulb socket, I've been driving a loaner since Tuesday.
And will be tonight as well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I was very popular my last semester in college, because I was legally 21 and could buy the booze.
Senior year, I was the only person in my dorm who was of age and owned a car. I made some good money that year, between the booze runs, Target trips, and Perkins (restaurant) raids.

Being 21 in NYC for college, lent NO benefit over every other college student.

You know what's really funny? Other than the time my car died for good, this is the longest I've ever had a car at the mechanic's. And it is for something mechanically piddly, not like needing a new clutch or something.
And it is the one time I have been given a loaner.
Which is good, because I would be batshit insane without it at this point.
