Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

don't ask why

Ooo... my parents didn't know about that rule obviously. There's 18 years between them!!

And my mom tried to protest when I dated a guy 4 years older (who I eventually married)

Well, (assuming your dad is the older one), once he hit 50, he was okay with your mom. At 50, she would be 32, which is half of 50 plus 7.

i don't know if that would be a sketchy relationship or not....

on hand it'd be pretty sweet to be old and have a relatively young hot wife (or husband) but it would be weird

ie. ashton kutcher and demi moore

haha good point. So for 12 years it was a sketchy rel'p (they got together when she was 20), until they met the half + 7 rule.

Your math is much better than mine today... my brain is a little foggy

If you like him go for it.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

I am getting to the point in college where I only want the seniors and grad students.

IT's not that I don't like boys younger than me, it's just that once you get to know them their immaturity starts to show. Which is worse in boys. So in order for me to find someone on about the same maturity level as me I have to date 24 and up.

Well I can only go by my experiences, and I seriously have not found a guy who is younger than me and the same in maturity.
