I've been to see Athlete and Embrace this year who are popular beat combos here in the UK. I have definitely been the oldest person in the audience although my boyish looks make me look far younger and hip and happening. The game was given away when I started dancing though
Did no-one tell you that you looked like the oldest person at the EC gig too.
She actually came to my computer a few days ago, created a word document, and typed out her birthday list - including hyperlinks to ebay for particular items. She's in a real teenage self-absorbed state today.
Hey Verbal, that reminds me of a story that happened to my mate. He was dancing with a girl and she said "You're older than you look aren't you ?". He said "How do you know?", and she replied "because you're a crap dancer". He's always danced like a Tory Minister at a Party Conference - I hope you're not the same.
After three weeks of staying in Manhattan, the thought of living here raises the response "meh". I've even (briefly) considered living in Princeton NJ. Now THAT makes me feel old.
Storm, I am amazed. Have you taken a decent walk in Central Park (it is breathtaking this time of year)? That alone should do it. Prospect Park too, of course, or Riverside, but really I don't know anyone can help but fall in love with NYC once they've walked through the park in May.
I'm 32, and whenever I feel old, I just walk down to the cafeteria at my school and go to the front of the lunch line. The cafeteria lady tells me to get at the end of the line, and I remind her that I'm a teacher. It's the long hair and the mostly clean shaven face, I guess. Anyway, it makes me feel better to know that I can still get confused for a high school student.

Today one of the girls in my government class and I discovered we shared a birthday. She's turning 19; I'll be exactly twice that. It made me feel 'old' for a second, until the students demanded to see my ID as they did not believe I was more than 30. Good students! A's for everyone!
I think I've finally gotten to a point where I'm not carded anymore...though of course in Toronto the legal drinking age is 19 rather than 21 - and now I'm much more prone to order some obnoxious sounding fancy wine, and surely that can't hurt
Good students! A's for everyone!
