I don't like to wear anything written on me PERIOD. I think it looks cheesy as all get out and the people who wear those juciy pants look they dressed in the dark, because surely no one would intentionally put on such a thing and the have the audacity to go out in public. I mean, I have t-shirts that say "Hot ****" and things to that effect, but I wear them to bed, not out and about.

I guess if she feels okay wearing it then go for it but even her mother said something to her

I've noticed that a lot of big girls (and men, too) wear clothes that make them look like tomatos on stilts. I don't understand it. These people wear pants so tightly that they'll be toast if they fart. Everyone can wear something that will flatter their figure, but I think a lot of it has to do with denial about their actual size. If not that, then I don't know what.

Oh, I forgot about that part. That is really cute

. I like the British-y element.

I can relate. I hardly ever hung around with people my own age when I was growing up. I really did not like being around them. I feel the same way about it shaping who I am too for better or worse.

Me. Too. It's very union jack-esque so as soon as I saw it, I had to buy it.

Me either -- and they didn't like being around me either after my freshman year of high school. I wasn't (and still am not) a partier -- I don't like the club scene nor the bar scene, i'm not a drinker, etc. If that makes me boring then i'm all about being completely and totally dull.

Yes, I am another dull one over here! Maybe that is why we were falling asleep at the table in Vegas.

Hmmm. that's weird, cause my friends were pretty mature, over all. They did "party" a little more than me, which mainly meant they had boyfriends. None of them drank or anything, and we were all involved in pretty heavy school/extracurricular activities. I guess I just got lucky.
And yes, not drinking does make you dull.

Not to mention, didn't we both end up coming down with random sickness in Vegas? I was out of work for a week after I came back

I was sick the day that I left RI which was my birthday.

I felt a bit better the next day in Vegas but I was not 100%. I came back to RI late Sunday night the 15th and I went back to work on Tuesday and Wednesday I was sick as a dog and did not go to work and it took me a week to feel better.

I was sick in Vegas too... I spent one of my three days there in bed.

That flight was killer too. Six hours of stale air

I'm an only child too. I will be 30 next May and I truly didn't feel like an adult until I was 25. I still act 12 sometimes and I look maybe 16. My parents don't look their age either, so that's a good sign for my later years. Although, I have some grey hairs, but hey, I dye.

My mom still treats me like a 5 year old and I hate it, but there are some issues with her family there.

I turned thirty this year and it really did depress me in some ways. Most of my friends are younger than I am and something small, like not being able to call myself a "20-something" anymore, made me kind of sad. Also, I'm not married, no family.... I'm happy with where I am in my life. I'm getting my PhD and I don't want to give that up for a family. But it still made me feel kind of "behind" at the game of life.

Nancy, you have a youthful spirit & zest that guide you.

WOW, so many people in the same place I am. I have friends that I tell this too, ( I am 27, turning 28 in November) and they just laugh. How could I feel old at 27? But I do. I feel like 20 was decades ago. Look at when I was in school, now I work with kids who will graduate high school 10 YEARS after I did!

But I guess it's just a number...27..37..87...I mean they are numbers. If you had amnesia, how old would you feel? I look 27 but if no one knew, I could be 21 in someone's eyes and maybe 35 in someone else's.

The biggest thing for me is how I dress. I put on these 10-15 pounds and you won't catch me dressing in anything tight or flashy. I don't even show the girls at all anymore..I keep em' covered. I guess once you hit 25, dressing like a slut is just that, dressing like a slut...don't do it. LOL ;-) *of course if I were shaped like Madonna I'd think differently*
