You’ve probably seen them everywhere, the grinning, happy, carefree teenagers, mere children really. I’m not a teenager anymore. I started missing it last week, because I knew I was losing it, like a lover at the moment of separation. Have I lost the fantastic glow of youth? Maybe *shrug* I know I’ve lost a lot of excuses, “She’s just a teenager,” they used to say. Well, they can’t say that after today. Click. ‘Cause I’m a twenty-year-old or am I a twenty-something? I can’t wait to get the manual. 20, God, I feel so grown up.

Is that you in the photo? You look 16. At any rate, twenty ain't bad. Stay away from the guys. Enjoy singleness as long as you can.

Yes (me). A glam-shot. My BF was into photography last summer, he took pics in bursts, you know a-100 at a whack. Out of thousand that night 5 came out glamorous. ??
