Aging meme
NS September 27th, 2008
I’m working on the birth story but it’s slow-going when I’ve constantly got a baby attached to me. So in the meantime I thought I’d do this meme that Zoesmom created the other day.
At a certain age women should accept the loss of their youthful appearance gracefully
At a certain age men should stop doing silly or acrobatic moves on the dancefloor
When I was a kid I thought I would change the world
Now that I am older I wish I had changed the world
You know you are too old to buy gossip magazines when you don’t recognise half the names of the celebrities
You know you are too young to throw away your high heels when you’re not even 30 yet
When I was in high school I listened to the music of Nirvana, Frente, Tori Amos, Matthew Sweet, Green Day, Foo Fighters
Nowadays I find I like the music of Zero 7, The Shins, Ani Di Franco, Imogen Heap, Joni Mitchell, Ben Harper, Cat Power, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol
On my last birthday I had lunch at my favourite restaurant with a few friends
On my next birthday I want to go clubbing (hey, it will be my 30th, I can get away with it)
The best birthday present I ever got was a homemade card from my Dad with a picture of the stereo he had put in layaway for me inside, even though we couldn’t really afford it
The first time I felt grown up was when I flew to the East Coast by myself at age 17
The last time I felt like a kid was last week while playing silly games with my toddler
When I read ‘Animal Farm’it changed my life
Last year was financially lean
Next year I hope to be freelancing successfully
