superheroes make me feel inadequate

[deird1]

By the age of 12, Aang had defeated the Fire Nation.

By 18, Harry had stopped Voldemort.

By 22, Buffy had created an army of Slayers.

By 28, Emma had broken the Witch's curse.

By 30, Sarah Connor had killed the Terminator, given birth to the leader of the resistance, learnt several languages, blown up several buildings, broken out of an insane asylum, and killed another Terminator.



By 31, I will... have achieved world domination. But I'm not allowed to talk about that.

This is why I compare myself to Iron Man. He spent years as an alcoholic before getting his act together and becoming an Avenger.

You are my new favorite.

(Plus child prodigies and child stars can have a rough adulthood. Which ties in with Tony Stark, too...)

Sometimes I compare myself to Madeline Albright and Nancy Pelosi. That way, I figure, I'll wait til my kids go to college, go into the family business, and make my way up the ladder til I'm kicking ass with my grey hair and impressing my grandkids.
