You and famous totally have to do the CRAP JIGGLE JIGGLE email next year. I will not snort during the recitation.

Also, only you could start out recounting an RU and end up offering insight into growing up and changing as an adult. Thanks for that mini-essay. As someone currently in that "beginning of adulthood" stage, it's nice to know that I'm not abnormal (HA!) in feeling a bit unready to handle everything the world may throw at me and comforting to know that the aforementioned feeling will change.
