adolescence 2.0?

aubs just wrote a really fantastic blogpost about how those of us in our late 20's are now in what should be called adolescence 2.0 - i'd go into further detail, but she sums it up so perfectly that i won't even try....

for example:

IM has replaced note-passing, insecurity (guised with cockiness) is at an all-time high, and our emotions are a-flutter. We're smack-dab in those years before we hit our third-life crisis, and, in preparation, we drink too much. We make stupid decisions. We're pushing our boundaries because, for us single late-twenty-doms, we can.

and...

We have crushes. No, not one, nor two; more like ten....We find ourselves giddy with the excitement of a new interest (or, as is often the case, interests squared), something seemingly foreign after years of long-term relationships that left us wondering if "IT" was ever going to happen...now, "IT" seems far, far away in the distance and for the first time in a long time, who cares! We're having fun!

i've totally been going through a very "hi, i'm 12 years old" relapse lately - and i couldn't figure out why. now i know...it's 2.o!

you can (and should) read the whole post here. it's a classic!!! heh.
