Oh my good­ness. Why didn’t I go to Google sooner? All that time trawl­ing through books and ERIC and Gale DBs, wasted!

I could have even hit I’m feel­ing lucky. I’M FEELING FREAKIN’ UNLUCKY! Num­ber 1 match for “ado­les­cent emo­tional devel­op­ment” (entered not out of despa­ra­tion but sim­ply on a whim this evening to see what it turned up! I’ll con­fess I was expect­ing angsty blog entries from some more-erudite teenagers rather than actual research.) unveils a bril­liant overview page from an Assoc. Prof. at Queen’s Uni (Canada)‘s devel­op­men­tal psy­chol­ogy depart­ment, which is incred­i­bly well sup­ported with cita­tions, etc.

I should quit this whole uni/vocational dealing-with-people-and-books gig right now and go back to my lit­tle geek world in which Google knows all and Wikipedia can be read with­out fear of vio­lent reprisals from the fac­ulty thought-police. The two are con­verg­ing! It’s like those cheesy rooms in movies with spikes on the walls that couldn’t real­is­ti­cally kill you prop­erly because of the ridicu­lously large space between spikes that makes scal­ing the wall pos­si­ble! And now I’ve stopped whin­ing and am just procrastinating.
