No one else but the dog and cat to share the house this morning. Too bad I will have to leave soon to pick up my mother and run her errands and buy her groceries. She needs some craft items to help occupy the time she spends all alone with her dogs. I am terrified of becoming my mother and I mean it. It is not a joke about becoming old. It is the truth about her older years. I do not want them. My children and friends try to reassure me that it will not happen but how can they know. We share a lot of genes. True my addiction habits do not cause me to isolate like hers have. I do like my downtime and I do not suffer idiots well but I also love exchanging ideas and discussing everything under the sun. These are hard to do by yourself.
Growing older is going to happen unless I die which is always a possibility given the stress I am allowing myself to live under right now. I do not feel like 54. Yes, I am behind on a lot of teen stuff but I am open to new music and movies. I did refuse to become a Twilight groupie although I did read the series. I am opposed to Harry Potter not because of the wizardry and magic but because of the masses of adoring fans. By the way there are a lot of classic movies I never watched for the same reason. Titanic anyone?
Yeah, I know the thing is graphic novels and movies made from them. I loved Sucker Punch! I really need to get in on at least one flash mob or at the very least observe one. See lots of things to be done that are not for the middle aged.
I have an iphone but not an ipad. I download my music, not buying cd's. I do not go to the boxstore to rent movies (I get them at the library for free!). My laptop is favorited with facebook, I tweet, I try new apps all the time. I only play games on the phone. I watch some of my favorite shows on my laptop. I am not tied down to a box for my entertainment. I never look for a phone book or a map. I'm not a dinosaur. But I do have preferences that come from my generation. I love wearing jeans and hate that I now work where I have to dress business casual. No makeup is my personal way to travel but to work means to try and look younger and that means makeup.
Enough musing for the morning. Off to crazy land.
