And also Norman Castles. <br /><br />Victory is a great name, but I'm not so sure I'd precede it with Christian. <br /><br />I knew I was old when I sat on the swing in a playground I'd frequented as a child, and a) my ass was too fat to fit the swing, and b) I got seasick when I went really high. <br /><br />And I was 20. Depressing. <br /><br />But yes, fear of teenagers is a sign, alright. I think it's less to do with safety and more to do wit hthe idea that they might shout something insulting and true at you :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-10656521985636938462010-08-27T09:27:31.837+01:002010-08-27T09:27:31.837+01:00Heh heh.
