#awkward phases

I've been having an "awkward phase" my whole life

What's with all the "Oh my gosh, how impressive is it that I fit in my high school cheerleading uniform still!" stuff? Am I the only one that was still utterly in my awkward phases in high school? Seriously, am I the only one who would be showing off at a reunion, like "Yep, not the chubby, no fashion sense kid anymore!" Can I just hear it once for the girls who didn't come into their looks til their twenties? No? Ok, then.

Im still getting comfy with Peter being the Doctor. I absolutely love how he plays his role, Im just still in my adjustment period. I keep having "Ah-hah!" that /is/ my Doctor, moments with him, which is just lovely.

I think we all were really fucking awkward between the ages of 13 and 15 and it's embarrassing as hell, sure, but at the same time I can't help but smile when I think back to those days because sure, we looked like idiots with our random RAWR MEANS I LUV U IN DINOSAUR and yeah, maybe we were a little TOO into a certain band or music genre, and we've grown and matured so much since then, but you know what? We had fun. Oh my god, did our pretentious asses have fun in between the drama and the growing up and the times that only seemed difficult and the times that really were difficult. We thought we were so cool (and god were we wrong) but we had some fun along the way. And I don't know about you guys, but every now and then when I hear those songs and see kids doing the same stuff we did and dredge up my old 'lolrandom' relics, after I'm through cringing, I can't help but smile. I can't help but sing along and cheer them on and wonder why I ever put my sillybands away. I don't know what it is about those awkward early teenage years, but I almost feel more nostalgic for them than I do for my early childhood.
