However, being an adult, I can eat cookies whenever I like. Win.

It's increasingly bizarre to see friends of mine on Facebook, friends from when I was a teenager, looking like they are in their late twenties, early thirties.

I say this, barely realizing that I am in my mid twenties. I will be 26 in two months. It is not bad for someone to look their age, of course! But I have a hard time realizing just how close to 30 I actually am.

I do not feel 26. I do not think I look 26....

Okay, I just uploaded two photos on to an age guessing website. I guess I'll know soon enough how old the average visitor of that page things I am. Or rather the average age that visitors of that page think I am.

I suppose it doesn't help that K-Swiss is 23. And looks 23. I feel closer to 23, but I decided sometime ago that actual numbers do not matter so much. My reasons are kind of in line, but kind of opposite of a forever 29-year-old. They may not look 29, but they feel young! And don't want to admit their real age.

I, on the other hand, get carded. For R rated films.

I'm not complaining.

Gosh, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart. Sometimes, I wonder if I did the right thing. I think I did. I'm sure I did. Right?

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me. Scorpion _______________________________________ The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Becaus...

LONGAVILLE: You swore to that Berowne, and the rest! BEROWNE. By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. What is the end of study, let me know. KING. Why, that to know which else we should not know. BEROWNE. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? KING. Ay, that is study's god-like recompense. BEROWNE. As thus: to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid; KING. These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
