Next Tuesday I will be OLD. And by "old" I mean out of the 18-24 age bracket which I think is where the "youths" reside. What do you call someone who is 25? "Young woman"? Boo, that's so dull. Can you call at 25 year old a "girl"? I like being a girl--the same way I still call guys "boys" ("men" sounds odd, somehow when in reference to people under 30). Maybe I can be a "gal". Ooh! Ooh! Could I be a "dame" now or a "broad"!? Or is that the 30-40 age range? I don't know. And can you do anything exciting when you turn 25 other than rent a car from anyone and without having to pay an outrageous price?
Unrelated to age other than in an "I can do vaguely grown up things" way, I'm also moving into a new apartment this weekend--HUZZAH!!!! I've been waiting for so long! I'll have pictures eventually if I ever find the danged cable that hooks my camera to my computer...consarnit.

"dame" and "broad" are WAY too old, you can however be a "damsel" or a "mademoiselle" or a "doll".
But then again you do say things like "consarnit" so maybe you can be a dame.
I'll take "doll". I would, however, like to be a dame because I do sincerely say things like "consarnit" and "dagnabit" and "goodness gracious" and "well I'll be". I once even said "Heavens to betsy", whatever that actually means.
