Yeah. It's a shame she doesn't live here though.


Yeah, well, SA is not the most isolated area in the World, but it's probably in the top 50.

It'd be good if I had a friend in SA though.

I don't know her in real life. I don't even know where she lives!

RedMage,

I doubt there is such a thing as real life, even outside your little lettuce farm town at the end of the earth.

There is also the being fifteen thing, many people have just wanted to sleep through it.

How do you think a tadpole feels when morphing into a frog?

Growing up is one of the unavoidable byproducts of being born human.

I recall Lisa Simpson laying on her bed, pounding her pillow, holding back tears, and saying, ten more years, just ten more years.

She knew it at eight, you only have three years of hard time to go.

My kid is eighteen, driving a car, going to the university, told me she was a big kid now, and she got a dog for me to play with. It is a very nice Pit Bull.

She is not the same child I have known all these years, not a continuation, she is a brand new person, using the same name. At seventeen years and nine months, she was my kid, at eighteen and one day, Sudden Adult Syndrome struck. It was a total change.

Meaning changes quickly, for me at least, three years ago I would give her $20, and she was rich. $50 before Christmas and she could shop for everything. Now I give a hundred and it is gas money for the week. She sleeps at home, passes through once a day to check on everyone, for five minutes, and lives in the world.

Your turn is coming, now lettuce picker, shop girl, in your home town, or off to the bright lights and big city, the university, where hundreds like you will gather, and talk about what losers their home towns were.

Good to see you are keeping up your reading, keeping an active mind. You have three years to prepare to take a university entrance exam, and become the new you. Prepared or not, it will happen.

High school is day care, each year of a university doubles your lifetime income.

You are bored with your past, your present, lettuce town, all classic symptoms of being fifteen.

You read, draw, use computers, have a world wide fan club, and are on the road to somewhere.

Thirty-six months till launch! 1000 days of complaining on WP.

The RedMage Unit is performing to specs.

You will, now prepare to be there.

I like you fourteen Flaming Trolls worth.

That didn't happen dude.
The only time she said that was when Bart got sprayed by a skunk and he was rubbing it off on her sheets or something, and she pulls out a stress ball and squeezes that while saying it.
