The part I don't understand is not wanting to get on with it -- whatever "it" is. I was dying to get out of town and out of the house and out of high school (in reverse order, I guess). And I had a great home life and a fine time in high school!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same here, and yet my older son would have stayed home and played video games forever if I had allowed it. Younger son isn't the most ambitious person either, but his wife is so that helps. He has at least always worked.
I was outta there! My parents were great, but I didn't even stay home until I was 18.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too. I could not wait to get out of the house and into the world.

I got my flu shot yesterday and then couldn't figure out why my arm hurt this morning.
Is Halloween considered a bad thing in Jewish culture or is ltc's school just being super weird about it for no reason?

I mean, it's a pagan holiday, no? I understand any organization based on any other religion not wanting to celebrate it.

I guess that's probably it. I wanted to bring in some Halloween lollipops for ltc's classmates, which is allowed on other occasions. I went to public school and we always dressed up on Halloween at school.

We dressed up in Catholic school. It was one day we didn't have to wear our uniforms.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
A woman I rode up on in the elevator this morning was wearing a fascinator. I'm not sure if that was meant to be a Halloween costume, or even if it counts as a costume.

I was just wondering how much guacamole I was wearing. I'll just add the lollipops and fruit treats (all individually wrapped to the trick or treater loot.
