Road Trip Wednesday: What Goes Around

This week I'm calling the Road Trip Wednesday shots at YA Highway and I want to know:
What themes or settings or scenes or motifs find their way into your work over and over?

My answer is:


sexual politics
screwing with radios
and arguing about music
mouthy girls
and good ole boys
and hiking in the woods
people eating
at various tables
all the freaking time
and dancing
and bechdel tests
and parents that actually exist.

the end.
