CONFESSIONS OF AN IMMATURE 27-YEAR-OLD
indeed, tis true, i feel much younger than i am. but when i say much younger, i'm not talking 21... i'm talking more like 5 possibly 6... 7 if i am having an incredibly off day. it's no wonder i can play with kids all day... i am one.
you know how in movies you always see the "adults" at a dinner party with their wine and fancy clothing, sitting around discussing tolstoy or so and so's theory of beep bop boop? yeah, i don't think i could ever go to one of those, cuz i haven't fully developed into a mature, functioning adult yet.
check it: yesterday i went to a dinner with some really great people. there were fascinating new people i had never met before and i was doing my "grown up duty" of getting to know them. there was a dude there that is going to school to make violins... and really... how amazing is that?!
so, of course, we all commence in asking all of the appropriate questions that one, who is curious as to how you make a violin, would. he indulged. which by the way, did you know that violin strings used to be made out of CAT GUTS??? holy shnikes! those of you who know me, can only imagine the kind of jokes being thrown about at the expense of the poor dead cats who now"sing" classic greats like mozart. then he started talking about the G string and it was all over from there. try holding corn in your mouth when without warning he begins to pontificate on the best ways to prepare a G string-- he had to have known where that would go, right? or maybe he just isn't used to nerds like me who think all things inappropriate are funny. (by the way the dude totally rolled with the jokes... he's a good one)
but it doesn't end and begin with this story. time and time again, i am constantly having to attempt to check my "funny" at the doors of those who otherwise would not appreciate my brand of humor. (thanks to all my friends who don't make me do that!)
i'm sorry if i can't help myself but be saucy to those who take themselves to seriously... wrong... i know... but i am what i am!
there is hope though, i think i will finally reach my prime in my 60's.

Pegs--we love you just the way you are! And it definitely made for some lively dinnertime conversation. I've heard him give the "I make violins for a living" speech at least three times now; this was at least the funniest it's ever been.
Blame Rachel for the G-String incident. She totally tried to make me take the fall; but it was all her.
And I bet you'd still have a sexy walk as a primed 60-year-old.
I think you're pretty funny just the way you are. Please don't ever "reach your prime" if it means the jokes would stop.
Dude!! Nat, definitely made a noise first...then I lost it I admit. Great times!!
FREAKING AWESOME POST, I can totally relate. No wonder I hang out in my room all the time instead of engaging in sparkling conversation with my MIT roomies regarding the potential in genetically engineering vegetables. I'm sorry, I dont want a cucumber that looks like my mum. That would be strange and somewhat morbid.
