Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sounds like the conversations I overhear from eager 20-somethings laying out their plans to retire at 35 through a combination of real estate, stock markets, and this great opportunity their father-in-law will get them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I really need to learn more about kintsugi so I can, like, base my life on it. Or not if learning more leads me away from that, but my gut says that's the way to go.

Is this a Chris Evans thing?
Yep. My, that kid was a late bloomer. You know how in high school there were the puberty stragglers who managed to look about 13/14 as late as 16?
One of those.
(And it's not just that I'm old now and kids look young: I've gone through my yearbooks recently, and most of my nieces and nephews are teens. He really does look younger than his apparent age of 16 in the thing. I find it inexplicably hilarious.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I looked about 13/14 until I was around 18 or 19, at which point I looked like I was 16 and continued to look about 16 until I was well into my 20s.

I am all for Team Soft Butch, though I'm more a fan of the harder core just straight up Butch. ;)
I am feeling completely overwhelmed by the number of work things that need to happen between now and the end of the month. Trying to figure out what needs to happen TODAY, and what I can put off until after I return from vacation on Wednesday....and how I can turn my brain off and de-stress by the end of the day today.

I look my full 43 years now. It's the grey.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
huh ... for me it was the opposite - in my early teens I could pass for 20s (true story - at 13 or so I had to get someone to tell the lunch lady I was a student and not a teacher so I could only pay the student price for my lunch), at 16 or so I had waiters asking for my drink order (in a state where the age was 21) and my first year or so at college was taken for a senior. Sometime in my ... late 30s, I guess ... I started looking younger than my age.

I looked 17 for a good decade. From about 14 to 24.
