I think the moral to this meme is that not only am I no longer a teenager...I never was!



1. Had beer. Once or twice in social settings.

2. Smoked an entire cigarette.

3. Smoked a cigar.

4. Done drugs.

5. Write on a bathroom wall.

6. Read a George Orwell book. [Required reading for US students of a certain age.]

7. Had a physical fight. [Except that I fought with my brother constantly...until he grew taller and bigger than me. When, mysteriously, that stopped.]

8. Used Twitter.

9. Listened to Lady Gaga. [Not on purpose]

10. Been in a car accident. Several serious ones, all as a passenger. Several fender-benders, once my fault. I hate cars.

11. Gotten suspended.

12. Gotten expelled. [This is horrifying even in retrospect.]

13. Been allergic to something. [Cats! I would be such a cat person if I weren't]

15. Touched a real gun.

16. Had a dog.

17. Had a cat.

18. Been pregnant.

19. Camped out. [Often when I was young on family vacations. My father loves the outdoors. Adult discovery: I don't.]

20. Swam in the ocean. [Often when I was young; I grew up in southern California. At some point in your teens you realize that it's DAMN COLD, though. Not sure why kids never feel that.]

21. Wore a bikini.

22. Driven a car. [Occasionally I drive a rental. It's my goal to remain car-free as long as possible.]

23. Been sent to the principal.

24. Ever liked someone. [Er, YES.]

25. Failed a class.

26. Failed a test.

27. Went to summer school. [All the time when I was growing up. It was The Thing for nerdy kids to do.]

28. Got worse than a D.

29. Read an entire book.
[I would laugh at this, except that the vast majority of my reading's been fanfic or academic these days, and I really want to get back into that childhood mode of curling up with a dozen and losing track of time.]

30. Recorded my own music.

31. Had an xbox. [I don't even know what an x-box is.]

32. Worn heels more than 3 days in a row. [I wore them once, to my senior prom, which I attended with my gay friend before either of us was out. The heels were only the smallest part of what was wrong with that picture.]

33. Wore fishnets.

34. Wore skinny jeans.

35. Been in love.

36. Hated someone. [I wonder if I would have fewer issues if the answer to this one were "yes?"]

37. Been cheated on.

38. Cheated on someone.

39. Did something sexual with someone of the same sex. Often! It's fun!

60. Danced with someone of the opposite sex. [Under duress.]

61. Owned an ipod.

65. Went far away from home for more than a week.
[Mmm...yes? This is the story of my life?]

90. Had a divorce.

91. Broke a glass.

92. Hugged someone today.

93. Texted someone today. [Don't text.]

94. Received a phone call today. [Sadly, I've more or less given up answering the phone.]
