O God---the realization is hitting me!!!!
...And the hits just keep on coming.
I'm going to be 35 in July!
It occurred to me today, sitting in speech class. I was in a group of women, the oldest of whom was 23. Yeah, she has a baby, but I realized that I grew up in another age when I made a joke about dancing to "Rock Lobster." I got blank looks all around. "'Rock Lobster.' You know, one of the seventies' hits? The B-52's? One of the American punk-pioneer bands? Ah, fuggedit!"
I get carded when I buy beer. I get told I don't look old enough to have a 12 yr. old daughter. I still get pimples, something that never went away. I can think like a kid. I laugh my arse off at SpongeBob. I cosplay. So what does this mean? That I have to grow up now? Join the Red Hat Society? Start thinking about life insurance instead of life? Or just roll with it?
I like that answer. Suck it up and roll with the punches. When my boobs begin to sag, I'll come back and complain.
My next speech is a persuasive one; I have one month to prepare. I'm juggling around two thoughts: Why West Virginia should make animal abuse a criminal act instead of a misdemeanor *or* why parents should not expose their children to secondhand smoke. Feedback appreciated.

I'd go with the animal subject. Animal abuse is a sign of even worse things to come. Show me a child who tortures animals, I'll show you a future rapist/murderer.
The b52s rocked. Does that make me weird
Angela:
I think you're right. I *do tend to become passionate, don't I--and loud, LOL
Sonia:
Yup--just look at all the serial killers. They all had tortured and killed animals.
Wormy:
You were weird. Now you're just old, LOLOL
