Last night, I was in blue plaid schoolgirl uniform, looking silly at a semi-spontaneous trip to Animazement. Today, I have a 401k. (I got my first paycheck today, for all of $33--that's for two days of work, minus dental, retirement, and so on).
"I'm too old for this," B. said, and it's a bit ridiculous to be too old for anything at 22 but in a way she's not wrong; anime fandom favors those who have time, money, energy, and youth. Youth enough to look good in a schoolgirl outfit. Science fiction fandom, at least, seems kinder to people older than college-age.
Adulthood's kind of scary.
