Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I just realized I've had my tagline for a while. I think I need to do a little spring cleaning there.

Matt, could you hook me up with those links too?
Sure thing, I'll post in Natter if and when I track 'em down.
I was the next-youngest member of my graduating class, and I honestly think starting later on the three Ds (driving, dating, and drinking) kept me out of a lot of trouble.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I graduated high school at 17 and turned 18 about 2 weeks before starting college. Alcohol use was pretty widespread in my high school. I got more comment because I didn't drink around my peers (my choice) until I had one (and no more!) at a graduation picnic/party.
The drinking age was 18 then, so turning 21 was kind of a non-event.
My niece's birthday is in October, and she was 17 when she started college in the mid-'90s. She has said that the first couple of months were inconvenient because she couldn't do (or in some cases, needed parental permission to do) things that her 18-year-old classmates could do.

I got to eat a wild strawberry on my run this morning. Go me!
Urm, that's all I got. Should go run errands instead of lazing about on the internet. Or go wash the dishes from last night's cookie-baking and then run errands.

Leif skipped a year and is about a month and a half from the cutoff so he is the way youngest in his class, but still on the honor roll. He'll be sixteen when he graduates. He could probably skip another year academically, but he's doing well socially right now and being that much younger might cause problems there. It's a tough balance between not being challenged much academically and socialization.
Poor kid looked so tiny when he tried out for the middle school soccer team.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, because otherwise you would've been dating all the ladies and getting into trouble, right? If only you'd been a year older. Sigh...;)

Good! Getting to that article, I had to go by a "For Your Consideration" ad for Political Animals, which reminded me that James Wolk played the good twin and Sebastian Stan the bad twin. Good times.
