> wow, happy (late) birthday!!! welcome to the world of 15-dom! it really isn't different than 14-dom, in fact, just today i almost referred to myself as 14, but then again, when you think about it, there has to be some difference somewhere.... think about it. think about when you were 12, and what you are now.... so somewhere it has to change.... but you can never really pinpoint when. actually, i can pinpoint a few spots, i know i've changed in huge ways this summer.... but then again, you can't. well, just a slightly deep thought for you there.

Ah. The mysterious thing I've always wanted to pinpoint is when my *mind* changed sometime around puberty. I know that by the time I reached 14 or so, my thoughts seemed to be clearer and more focussed than before, like I was reorganizing my previous old memories. Hey, I wonder if that was just an illusion, or do other people experience a kind of awareness enlightenment during puberty? Maybe some of the 15-18 year olds who're closer to the event can verify a gradual but distinct change in thinking ability?

Of course, my Dave is of the opinion that young men can go partially insane when those sex hormones hit, so he'd say there's a *decrease* in thinking ability at that point. :-)
