Gwai as a boy-toy - I love it!

I have no plans to grow up yet. My Motto-

Growing older is mandatory... Growing up is optional.

I want to be that voice teacher that everyone wonders, "If he's so good, then why didn't he try to go professional, eh? Eh? Right. Not so good as he thinks."

Couldn't agree more.

Don't see myself growing up anytime soon!

I wanna fly! (before you get weird associations, I was referring to Peter Pan

)

You should read Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey: it describes this same kind of situation. (didn't get past page 13 yet, though, so don't know if it's good reading later on)
