Speaking of poignant prose, there is something very poetic about this sentence.

My procrastination. I need to be at my brother's house in an hour to head to The Family of the Opera and I haven't even started getting ready.

I'm taking a break from getting ready.

I bought a mask but it was from one of those places where they sell "irregulars" and it covers the wrong side of my face. I can't wear THAT! Everyone will point and laugh.

Oh, and don't be discouraged if nobody responds. It was read, and just maybe you wrote the awesome verbiage/poignant prose... m'kay?
Cheers Bruce. Appreciated many times over.

I discovered it comparatively late last night so it's been landing in people's in-boxes ever since.

Apparently, if you're like the person in casi's hyperbole blog link, all you need to do is marry someone who is an adult and will take care of all those adult things for you... and then nag them about how they "don't have enough fun."

But before you do that, make very, very, very sure that they actually are what they are saying they are and not a complete hypocrite (i.e. another pretend adult with 10 million more childish characteristics than oneself).
