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.)

Date: 2006-02-20 02:22 pm (UTC)My first boyfriend/innocent kiss was in 1st grade, so 7ish. 2nd grade me and girl across the street would hide behind a deck chair on my porch and play 'honeymoon' which involved more kissing until we would decide to play superhero instead. And I was still determined play make believe up into HS. 12, totally believable.
Now I'm feeling all nostalgic. Yay for sticks as swords and staffs and wands and guns and *joy*! Why aren't I that easy to entertain anymore?
