… your primary feeling toward Britney is one of pity.
… you suddenly get why your father complained so much about taxes.
… you feel no compulsion to adopt the current sizzling-hot (and really stupid-looking) fashion trend; you know that, like a mild rash, it’ll soon go away on its own.
… the idea of staying in is just as appealing as the idea of going out.
… you decide to learn how to a) play the guitar, b) speak Italian, and c) scuba dive, for no other reason than your own desire.
… rocking out along with the radio no longer embarrasses you. In fact, you turn it up.
… the proverb “Life is short, but wide” starts to make sense.
