I figure I probably only have another ten years or so before I have to stop wearing stiletto heels unless I want to be permanently deformed and crippled. Micro miniskirts? Two or three years at best (I think alot of women miss this memo...skirts of a certain length are really only appropriate up until your early-mid-twenties.).
My best friend is turning 24 this weekend and I must say it's really odd to think about, particularly since I have known her since nursery school. I mean, I knew her back when she actually wore her glasses! That was a LONG time ago, people! And that reminds me...if you happen to be driving in RI and you see a slate gray brand new 2008 Nissan Altima with a license plate that begins with the letter K, WATCH OUT!
It's really weird when you realize that you are really growing up, isn't it? I mean, aside from the increasing responsibilities and the fact that some of the things that you do were considered cute, oh...let's say...twenty years ago and are not so cutesy as an adult. For instance, collecting Disney characters and Beanie Babies. Yes, there are STILL people out there who do these things, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY! But I digress...Some people may say that it's over dramatic to ponder the aging process at the age of 23, but I think that this is when we often face our own mortality. Our parents are suddenly 20 years older than we always think of them in our heads, our friends are getting engaged and buying houses, we're graduating from grad school and getting real jobs...Things just seem to be shifting in high gear lately.
Adulthood. What a kick in the ass.

Just FYI... my mom is 53, 5'11" and wears stilettos on a fairly regular basis, and is nowhere near crippled!
