Note, though, that saying "most grown-up 12-year-old" doesn't necesarily mean you ARE grown-up, so don't let it get to your head when you get teenage-y. ;P
I totally agree with Ultimatum and BWS and everybody else that agrees with me.
Also, I miss the days humans supposedly used to have a spine. In honor to Colicedus' post.
Hmmm... Conan... Now he is just one giant walking, sturdy spine. And not to forget the female counterpart; Red Sonja, I believe.
I've been reading too many stories with huge contrasts between people with and without spine, haven't I? The people who pee their pants, and the people who bite back.
