I'm feeling dangerously edgy, would you like to meet me?

[chickenscratching]

hi, i'm chickenscratching and I'm glad to meet you.
i am but a wee red-haired lass, a few months from my coming-out party.
would you care to know anything else?

I am SO edgy: that i feel the time is right to share my soul.

[giant_robot]

1. That's one pissed-off pussycat! n/t

[chickenscratching]

6. edgy, edgy pussycat n/t

[evlbstrd]

2. You're coming out?

When did they start throwing parties for that?

[chickenscratching]

5. they've always had it

though in those times, it wasn't about a sexuality decision, it was basically a party to put girls on the meat market. a chance to flash some dowry around.

[evlbstrd]

7. Yeah, they still do that aroound here.

[chickenscratching]

11. no shit

what do they call them?

[evlbstrd]

16. There's a debutante ball

and one during the American Royal livestock show called The Jewell Ball.
As an offsetting event, we had a Jewelled Crawdad Ball.

3. Coming out Party?

What's a coming out party?

[chickenscratching]

8. see above

[cassandra uprising]

4. is that your familiar?

[chickenscratching]

10. oh no!

i am an angry sort at times, but that cat looks a bit too mean to be my familiar.

[cassandra uprising]

13. I think that cat looks like it's about to take on the world

much like yourself.

So what's the deal with this party?

I want to call it a debutante party but that's not it. Dammit it all, this is going to bother me for the rest of the day.

[chickenscratching]

15. more like

a debutramp party if i'm attending :P

heh. no party, but i'll finally beable to go out with my poor poor man who happens to be significantly older than me and whom i've kept indoors away from the bars all these years.

i should have a party, though. i never had a big birthday party before.

did you do anything crazy when you turned 21?

[cassandra uprising]

20. wow

When's your birthday?

I had a awesome 21 b-day party. It was yer old school house party complete with the fam and friends. A fiend of my is a jazz musician and he set up his trio in my mother's living room. I wore a fabulous red dress. My sisters got me a keg of new castle. It was the year I decided that I was a babe and I was going to start living my life as though it were mine. Which up until that point had been a novel idea.

And what's significantly older mean hrrmmmmm? CU asks with raised eyebrow.

[chickenscratching]

21. would you flinch if i said, 80?

:P
not tooo significantly older, he is 27 (almost). though i received much trash from family for his age, regardless we've kept it up for 3 years (almost)

on edit: i blame any maturity i might have on him

[warrens]

9. Bwahahaha

My cat tripped and fell in the swimming pool one time. The look was nearly identical.

[hfojvt]

12. so that means you will be 17, or 18, or 21?

Did you know the drinking age used to be 19 in Minnesota? So when people in SD turned 19 it was - ROAD TRIP!!!!!

In SD though, you could legally drink 3.2 beer at age 18. I understand that 3.2 beer is like making love in a canoe - fu$%ing close to water.

So, are U going to the U? And what is the whole thing about chickens anyway? Did they really come before the egg?

[chickenscratching]

14. i shall be 21

when did the drinking law change?

i thought about going to the U, it still could happen but i think i'll be moving in a couple of years.

chickens? pshaw, who the hell needs them!

[evlbstrd]

17. My daughter was at the U.

Great campus. Too expensive, so she had to come back home.

[chickenscratching]

18. oh, it's extremely expensive!

i can imagine especially so if you're outta state.

[evlbstrd]

19. Guess all that architecture adds up!

[hfojvt]

22. sometime in the early or mid 1980s

Reagan forced all the states to goto 21, by threatening to with-hold highway funding. Supposed to reduce drunk driving from all those border trips. Republicans, they believe in states rights, when it's convenient.
