I could be 18!!
Today I decided to go to one of my favorite hangs to chill out, max, just kick back-The Master's College. I had a book with me and pretended/tried to read; mostly, though, I was too distracted-pleasantly and purposely distracted-by the college kids. That's what I really went for-to people watch. To see what there was to see and hear what there was to hear. As I sat holding my book up, I remembered a favorite line from the TV series "Friends", where Joey is going to audition for the part of an 18-year-old. He pulls his pants low and his boxers high, to prove that he is in touch with the younger generation, and can play an 18-year-old. He attempts to make further proof that he can give the appearance of youth by repeatedly saying, "Yo, dawg.", and describing things as "whack." This is my feeling when I go to The College (which I frequently do, to hike, to eat, to shop, to read, to pray, and also to go for a walk). I never had the full college experience (just a couple of years at jr. college), so this is how I get to (pretend to) be 18 again.

So what did you to to try act like an 18 year old kid?
Wear my Teva sandals, slouch in the chair, and pretend to read while actually gazing out the window and daydreaming-just like my college days.
Also, I tried to act like I knew everything, and that the planet revolves around me.
I tried to act like I knew everything
I .... I .... I still do that. That's an 18 year olds' thing? That's news to me :)
O...to be 18 again. :o)
You know what I like to do when I am in the mood to be 18 again...I press snooze on the alarm clock and get to class (I mean work) late. Ha ha ha!
Very nice! I love the Master's College too! It is a fun place to be... especially if you don't have to go to any classes ;) haha.
I am soon to never be eighteen again. Actually, I will just barely miss ever being eighteen and in college (by two days!). So in a way, I'll have to imagine that myself.
I, too, love that college. Maybe next year I'll see you "reading" and be able to hang out with you.
In response to an above comment, since I know everything, I know the planet doesn't revolve around you. It revolves around me! This is such a frequent debate among eighteen-year-olds. Wonder why?!
I must say, I've been out of formal education for many years-I can't believe I'm so OLD--even more than 26!!!!-and I'm still not used to having the summer months free of responsibility.
Maybe the "knowing everything" thing isn't about age-maybe its an Asian thing. Just thinkin' out loud.
Poor David. First tabasco picks on Asians, then Jen does.
