...I ever bothered with people my own age...I guess it was cos it was a non negotiable compulsory burden of having to go to school where there are grades. Not sure whether it's a case of Grew Up or Just Grew Old especially in the past year...I've reached a point where there is just absolutely no meaningful overlap I have with any normal typical person of my age vintage...yet with the 15-20 years and up...Bingo!*Natural resonance*...and it's happened so many times now over and over for such a protracted period I've realised it's not just a lucky strike...I've discovered that part of society where I should really belong cos my thoughts my values my interests gel with this generation... Yup I was meant to grow up during the Hippie era...
..."Modern Civilised Society" is so F*ck*n Crazy...Having children is now treated like some kind of rightful entitlement where you can just place your order like fast food, but for a bit more dosh...I'm referring to the rise and rise of artificial birth, most worryingly by single women who decided they can't find a man but they want a kid...someone I know recently confided in me that she'd asked a friend to be a sperm donor...has our generation REALLY got so cynical and jaded that we're prepared to rear a whole generation of test tube babie who have not the luxury of ever knowing two parents? I don't know about you, but my opinionated opinion is that in all our power obsessed material wealth my crazy generation has gotten a bit out of hand thinking how much they can buy...and to be honest...I think it's completely selfish...Okay I'm also ranting about this cos a friend said to me that when he gets back he wants kids and if I'm desperate to give him a yell...he wants two kids 1 girl 1 boy....no duh. This mentality and approach to unnatural reproduction just disgusts me...well I did say that I was meant to be born a Hippie!!! And just to let you know I STILL feel absolutely no sense of clucky...I actually feel sorry for kids being brought into the society I live in as it stands today.
...I go absolutely NUTS whenever there is a Big Cheese a.k.a Full Moon...
I was wondering why everything felt so WEIRD more so than a usual Full Moon...and then I was chuffed to find out the Full Moon was in Scorpio yesterday...as a Scorpio I guess I must have been a lot more affected than usual...but really so many strange things happened last night, particularly had issues with normally genial dogs barking and acting very aggressively and wanting to make zhen mince...last night was an extreme mixture of scary-creepy...and I literally felt a huge sense of relief when it ticked over into the wee hours of today.
...It's News when...
My most famous birthday twin, Delta Goodrem, made the front page of our newspapers the other day just because she was seen holding hands with an 18 year old...I pity myself when I live in a country and culture where something SO TRIVIAL is considered "news". At the same time though, it made me grin cos as much as I like much OLDER people and find my own generation incredibly grating and exasperating to my psyche, I DO agree with her... I really like that much younger generation that starts at 8 years my junior too- they are pretty cool... Hiya Robe :) Hiya 007! :D
So anyway it's really quite an exciting new era for me on so many fronts... I had another big major life revelation which many would find shocking...but we'll see what happens...and where God leads me :)

I wonder if your horoscope would explain my 6 week long cycle.
probably not, huh. Probably all the sugar I've been eating or other things causing things to be off kilter.
anyway, nevermind.
ZHEN - you are Behind the Times - my friend! You gotta 'get with the program'!
Two parents is definitely a luxury (oh that makes me want to cry).
anyway. I don't think you were meant to be a hippie. You're needed for This generation, kiddo.
my $.02
^^
HO all things point to more babies for you hahahah! LOL
yeah your masochistic 0.2c they need me so they can call me a weirdo and give me dirty looks cos I can't help rolling my eyes at them...lol especially when they FB each other from the same room or mobile phone each other at walking distance...
this generation I realise are so crazy cos reality and non reality are all conflated- there is pretty much a very grey area between virtual and non virtual worlds I realise...I got over the love affair after THE SIMS, lol...scarily it's not just a phase for most people...
p.s i got those fantastic cough drop lollies -am so going to check with switzerland how or where I can get them here or ask Germany to send...was telling my mum the story about how the lifesaver was so gross and chemical I drooled on the floor by spitting it out straight away and even she cracked up laughing- this is the habituated stern school ma'am too...lol
P.S I actually look better in hippie clothes than today's getup, maybe cos people these days especially down here are so damn FAT and size 6s they make these days are really 8-10s...the world is going nuts! I guess they needed to accommodate all the butt and boob jobs that happen in the plastic fantastic kinds of places like here...
I agree with your opinionated opinion on the designer kids issue. And about the triviality of the news.
But then, I'm old. You do realise, don't you, that the hippie generation are older than even you can relate to?
JJ, you can't limit me like that...I said 15-20 years older and UP! lol, yep I get on with people even older than YOU- I'm pretty sure...the great grandparents lawn bowls set :D
I'm just old inside.... :P I haven't even evolved to be able to physically stand the wireless technology of the modern day age....sigh welcome "interesting" life!!!
Macs that full moon was brilliant last week wasn't it.
I especially went outside each night and marvelled at it's beauty.
Hope you feel less burdened after getting all this off your chest.
My header photo is unfortunately not my house. I spotted this window whilst walking in Norway last year.
Take care
