ahem. I’ll be 31 this year, and I still read fantasy novels. I even reread my favorites. I’m talking about the ones written for teens. I’m so ashamed.

I’ve seen the Monkees in concert. Twice. And there’s a Teen Idols tour coming this summer, with Peter Noone, Micky Dolenz, and Bobby Sherman that I want to see. Really, really bad.

There’s no shame in this. I would’ve done the same thing if a guy had been holding a gun to _my_ head.
