Are you a grownup yet? Do you pay your own bills? Do you feel responsible? Or are you like me, forgetting to pay the bills half the time even when you have the money, always returning library books late, and still wanting to stay up late to watch Power Puff Girls on the Cartoon Network?

I keep telling everyone that I am not grown up yet. And just looking at me no one believes that I am as old as I am. So yes, I too watch power puff girls and dexter's laboratory and pokemon along with perfect blue and ranma 1/2 when I can find it. I also pay my bills late and have been "borrowing" my mother's car for the past 2 years.

They keep telling me I am a grown up, but I refuse to be one. Yes I do pay all of the bills and do all of that grown up junk, however, I refuse to grow up.

On any given days you can find me stuffing my face with junk food on a playground somewhere.

Such a total grown-up am I. That doesn't mean I pay my bills on time, return library books conscienciously, or miss a single episode of Dexter's Laboratory (don't like Power Puff Girls--sorry). But I do take care of myself and accept the consequences of my actions when I do skip a bill or oversleep due to said Dexter's Lab marathon.....
