This weekend we put on the movie 17, Again.
I know my husband threw it on the Netflix because I made a casual mention about Zac Efron being the hottest thing since Leo DiCaprio in Titanic and he thought it would somehow benefit him if he sat through 2 hours of this slightly chick flick movie.
He was wrong.
But it did benefit my dreams, so at least it was good for one of us.
It’s funny because I never pictured myself getting older.
I am 31.5 years old. Yes, the .5 counts.
I am pretty positive my eggs still work and with the exception of the Dr making a mention that I may need hormone therapy, most of my body parts are still in the right spot. And sure, I think the Infiniti registers somewhat as an adult car and the mortgage payment proves I wont be running around at clubs in a mini dress anymore, but when was it illegal to check out men under the age of…lets say 23….and have it be a bad thing?
No one told me that while my outward appearance would age, my insides would think they were getting younger and younger and my life would become more clear. As a result, I would be more outgoing and more solid in my own self esteem, at least with how I feel in relation to talking to men (unlike in my teen and young adult years), but now its completely illegal and requires ID checks.
In fact, I think a 19 year old held the door for me at Target recently..and called me ma’am.
God is cruel.
Maybe if Disney would stop adding scenes like this to their High School Musical, cutting it out, and releasing it on the Internet, it wouldn’t be so damn difficult to look away:
Keep a shirt on this kid….. Or don’t.
I mean seriously, did guys LOOK like this in high school?
No wonder everyone loses their virginity.
I’m off to dye my gray hairs now. Sigh.

You’re many years from being a puma, let alone a cougar! And he’s what, 23? Not much of an age difference anyway!
YUMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Hottttyyyy!!!! Most guys did NOT look like this in high school. And if they did, I wouldn’t have been around them because I would have been in a constant state of red face (aka blushing – shewww). LOL
How sad am I, I live in a sheltered world didnt even know who this guy was. But now I cant stop looking
lol well I am pretty sure he is a lot older than high school age…
THe first time I was ma’med, I wanted to cry. Now I’m used to it.
Which I’m not sure is considered a good thing.
I feel you! He is sooo damn sexxxy!

AHHHH, I too a 32 year old woman can sit and look at this boy all day.
my friends nicknamed me the Mougar hunter. made me a picture and everything. craig is 15 years older then me. I have always had a thing for older men.
the guy I am digging on right now? matt bomer. he is on the new tv show in USA (or tnt) called White Collar. he makes me quiver. but alas he is safe, he’s gay. boo.
Oh. My.
I never even saw the movie. However, I am adding it to the list now.
I don’t remember any teenager looking like Zac Efron when I was a teenager.. Heck my first college boyfriend was tall and lanky/skeleton skinny.
And it’s totally fine to look. I still feel like college age, myself even though I’m almost 27!
you are a perv. LOL. I like Megan Foxx so I guess I am a perv also cause I think she is only 22.
I think 17 Again only made my crush on Zac even stronger. I totally feel ya, sister.
My friend Rosemary and I were having this very conversation just about a week ago. As mommys we’re sort of “forced” to look at these babes with bods. No, they did NOT look like this when we were in high school. Okay, so high school was a little more recently past for me, but I assure you the boys looked NOTHING like this.
When the little ones demand to watch Zac Efron and David Henrie, what’s a mother to do? Gawk…naturally.
No they did NOT look like that in high school!!! Mmmm eye candy!!! LOL
No kidding. Nice pictures, good eye candy. I’m with Kim. Love Rob Pattinson, that man is just plain beautiful. And it’s weird to think that he’s 4 years younger than me. I still feel young…..right?
Guys were tall and skinny, with NO 6-packs, unless you counted their beer or Mountain Dew. My boyfriend in highschool was tall, lanky and dorky; nothing like Zac is. *drool*
Umm, I think that counts as “Mom Porn”….call me a cougar too, because he is HOT!!!!!! You know that’s the only reason I watched that movie too.
Ahhh yes, I have to agree even at the age of 25 no boys looked like that when I was in High school. and KIM so glad I found someone else who is a RPatz lover…I’m telling you I am totally ROBSESSED! With him being over 21 it’s totally a NON-guilty celeb-crush.Lawdy Lawdy what that man does to me, thank God the Hubby is ok with it..lol. *ps* trisha, your such an amazing writer your post ALWAYS amuse me
Oh man I’m in trouble LOL 28…looking at what, at least ten years younger LOL damn now I feel so old
btw really how come boys in my high school didn’t look like that???
He looks delicious
Wow, I never thought of him that way, but Zac Efron does look nice in those pics! The guy I love is Robert Pattinson…hey he’s over 21, I’m good. = )
