although i resist it, consciously or unconsciously, maturity comes naturally as you progress through the years. or so it seems. here are some signs i am growing up.
1. i no longer eat huge amounts of food in order to entertain people. mj was present the night i decided to end this practice, although she may not remember.
2. i don't drink huge glasses of juice and milk anymore.
3. i often stop myself from revealing things. this took a while, and i'm still not really good at it.
4. i no longer read the comics section of the newspaper. once i got out of the habit, this was actually pretty easy.
despite this, i am still very pleased with myself when i get taken for a college kid, as long as it doesn't involve a severe scolding. i almost tried to pass myself as a high school kid and go trick-or-treating two years ago, but i think some number of my regular readers here convinced me it was a horrible idea.

you tried to go trick or treating...after college? Dude, where was I? We would totally get more candy as a team. I'm slightly a lot shorter than you so they might've even thought I was your kid...just kidding. You aren't THAT grown up.
dave was going to join in i think...and dave could totally pass as a high school kid. i do it on an occasional basis, without trying...or i at least pass as a college kid. i think sometimes people think i'm a high school kid instead.
this bears revisiting as i have in the past several months been asked at a concert if i was 18, and told at a ballgame that it was impressive i knew the mystery song was from 1986 since i must not have been born yet.
