Old

Posted on the 08 August 2012 by Jillofalltrades @JillDeTrabajos
Why do kids have to grow up?  Like why do my little sisters have to go on dates and have babies, and why does my little brother have to talk about sexual stuff like he actually knows what he's talking about, and why do I have to see pictures on Facebook of the babies I used to sit going into first grade?
I'm only 22 (in 15 days)!  I shouldn't be feeling old already!
And what the fuck is up with my music getting its own station now?  There's seriously a radio station here in the Albany area that specifically plays everything on my ipod, the same way there was a radio station when I was a kid that specifically played everything my mom listened to in high school.  Am I old enough now that my music is from a past generation?  How long will it be till there's a station that's called "93.7: The best rock, pop, alternative, and a small sprinkling of mainstream rap and hip-hop from 1995 to 2005"???
And 90% of the television shows I watch, I watch on DVD.  Because they ended at least 5 years ago.  I still watch New Girl and How I Met Your Mother on the internet as they come out, but...that's about it.
It's also starting to weird me out that yes, I've always dressed oddly and I've always been proud of that, but I've also always been up enough on trends to be easily able to blend in if I wanted to.  Now...I'm starting to lose that touch.  When I try to dress "normally" I still end up looking kinda like my mom did in 2002 when she was still doing the 90's high-waisted mom-jeans and dark lipstick thing: good, just...a few years behind.
Ugh.
I might as well give up now.  I'll start going to bingo night, wearing clothes with elastic in them, collecting teacups with birds on them, and tipping 4% on the early bird special at Denny's.
