> I WON'T grow up! I WON'T I WON'T! No one can MAKE me! It's just not FAIR!
---------------It's all a relative thing for me. I feel like I do a decent job being an adult. Actually, I've felt like I could take care of myself since I was 12. What I can't do, however, is get into the same kinds of things that most adults seem to care about. Whenever I get invited to a dinner party, or whatnot, the talk is always about insurance plans, new purchases, planned purchases, customer service complaints, taxes, and gossip. They all take themselves so seriously, too. I just want to listen to some music, discuss news/science, tell some silly stories, and have a nice time. Everyone else seems to be concerned about impressing each other with how 'adult' they are (i.e. how "successful"). But then again, I've never been able to relate to my peers, so nothing's new about this.
