Sunday Stealing – The Aging Meme
You all knew I wouldn’t miss another Sunday Stealing, didn’t you? I’ve been busy all day and I’m just about getting things back in order. Let’s just say the mess that was my room has been cleaned up very nicely.
So, let’s get onto this week’s Sunday Stealing – The Aging Meme.
At a certain age women should stop calling people by their names and start calling everyone ’sweetcheeks’.
At a certain age men should stop calling women ’sweetcheeks’ and start calling them by their names again! Actually, they should never do it.
When I was a kid I thought I would be an astronaut, then my hopes went lower and I even considered being a dentist. Common sense came to mind after that.
Now that I am older I wish I lived a little more as a kid and wasn’t trying to be an adult all the time.
You know you are too old to party when you say “Back in my day we had real music!”.
You know you are too young to retire when you can still walk to the pharmacy to pick up your own meds… or your own shopping.
When I was in high school I listened to the music of well, I was a strange person and only listened to music that came from old 1980 8-bit games.
Nowadays I find I like the music of the exact same thing. Electronic music like Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem and similar. I’m a geek, ok? But I also listen to a lot of heavy rock or metal if I’m in a little bit of a rough mood. And alternative and acoustic stuff when I’m forced.
On my last birthday I did hardly anything. I was worried about my mother too much to make plans.
On my next birthday I want to have fun, first and foremost.
The best birthday present I ever got was an espresso machine from my aunt this year. One of the most useful things I’ve ever received. She’s probably bought me most of my coffee geek gear for the past year and a half.
The first time I felt grown up was well, that’s difficult since when I’ve been young I’ve found adults easier to talk to than my peers – so I have no idea. It’s been a while anyway.
The last time I felt like a kid was wow, that’s even harder to remember. No idea.
When I read Alice in Wonderland it changed my life.
Last year was 2007, duh.
Next year I hope I’m making more of a living for myself, and feeling closer to someone… somewhere.
This was really interesting. It made me think of how I’m getting older and that’s never a good thought. I want to feel like a kid again and find my inner child. It’s strange how we tend to lose that feeling of being innocent and nonchalant about life’s stresses. some of your answers really made me think. And some made me laugh…continue to do what you do well.
