Okay, just one quick fic question...
Feb. 20th, 2006 12:12 pm...and then I am showering going to the library, I swear.
On the left you have: ages where you make up elaborate fantasy stories in your head and play pretend and run around thwacking your friends with sticks.
On the right you have: ages where you're starting to feel the first stirrings of sexual awakening, (mostly) innocent and vague, yes, but there.
In the wacky Venn diagram that is this story, where do those two circles intersect? How old are you?
Remember: also, you are a boy.
I was going to say 12, because at 12 I think I was still semi-convinced that I could still find the wardrobe to Narnia, but also I was crushing on Harrison Ford like mad and cutting his picture out of magazines and stuff.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts.
(And sticks are still TOTALLY the best toys ever, OMG.)

I totally suck at research.

*uses Harrison Ford icon JUST FOR YOU*
Go you! I would encourage you to work now, but my hypocrisy only goes so far *g*. Although I really am working! Sort of!

Harrison Ford is totally still hot. It's the smile. That smile KILLS ME.
*uses Harrison Ford icon JUST FOR YOU*
*squeals* I am HONORED! And yeah, I would totally go find my Han icon for you, but I am too lazy, so just PRETEND I am using it, okay?
And yes, we both really need to work, and I need to lay off the capslock key.
