Hell Has Frozen Over
The movie theater here is notorious for being infested with grungy, hormonal, obnoxious pre-teens. When I went to see Underworld, there was a group of goth kids in the lobby...all dressed in black, sporting a variety of dog collars, bad haircuts and piercings. I snuck a sideways glance at Daniel and whispered, "What is it with kids these days?" He in turn shook his head and said, "I don't know. You'd think they'd dress like they have some respect for themselves."
That was it.
That was the moment.
Right there.
We stopped dead in our tracks and looked at each other...disbelief plain on both of our faces. At the ripe old age of 28....we had finally turned into our parents.

I like black clothing and piercings LOL
Shame on you, i like unique people. Well i suppose they were not so unique if they all looked the same. However, you're now officially old :)
That's why staying home with a DVD is so much better!
I like those things...i dont dress like that, but I think it's cool that they're expressive....Infact, i've never been a "goth" but have been "alternative" in the way I looked. not now, but then. I'm a total prep now. LOL
Oh I know what you are talking about. Whenever I see a teenage girl dress the way they do now and days my first thought is "go put a sweater on young lady". That is usually followed with "oh god I sound like my mother."
I find myselft shushing people and just cringe inside.
I don't mind what you look like as long as you are respectful of others. Punks that act like punks should be kicked out. That goes with any age or genre.
Each generation is different than the next - Thank goodness!
It happens before we know it. I'm laughing with you because I think the same thing everytime i see someone wearing a skirt on each pant leg. Clothes should fit form not hide it.
i do the same thing and i'm only 20.
did you tell me about this or post something like this all ready. I'm having this day dream thing going on wear i read this all ready. i think you posted this all ready!
I think I'm going nuts!
Katie...no crackhead. I haven't posted it before considering it just happened on friday.
think about it...you went to see a film in which the lead female is a vampire who runs around in pvc...you're going to get hormonal teens there and you're going to get "goths" there because that's the target audience lol!
speaking of which i wanna see it, was it any good?
as for piercings...you know i have had a few in my time (10 at last count although only 4 remain) what's the deal?
you kids these days crack me up ...
Is new music just noise and were thing smuch better in your day and age? he he If you answer "yes" to any of those questions, you are in trouble... he he
Ya, I did that a few months ago. So scarey.
Been feeling old for a while now -
Last week I was sitting on my usual barstool, a young couple comes in and orders an apple-tini and a beer. I'm think no-freakin' way either of these two pups are 21. They get carded and the bartender serves them. I ask the bartender how old they were - 27, 28 years old. Ya I'm offically an old man now - btw... what the hell ever happened to a martini being a martini - gin (vodka, if you must), olives and a touch of vermouth. also never shake a martini, you bruise the gin
Such a bad day when it hits you like that :)
It took you that long?
I was doing that when I was 22...
Of course I was a sargeant in the army at 19...
I know... hell... I did a few months ago when I was talking about "college kids" with some friends... and I'm 27 for God's sake!
lololololololololololol
what else can I say....lolololo
I can't believe you finally got there....OH yes... I have lived to see the day!! still laughing
(wish I could remember my password)
It's a form of rebellion, much like leather jackets in the 50's. Although it does scare me a little--and gosh help me, but also makes me judge a little.
well i'm going buts then!
Ah, we all had our stupid ideals when we were kids. Every generation thinks it has found something new when it finds sex, drugs and rock. Same old crap. I posted a similar complaint about an all ages show I attended last Friday.
Trends come and go and so do the years.
Wait til you tell your kids, "I swear if I have to tell you to clean your room one more time...". Believe me, it just gets worst.
LOL! I have had quite a few moments like that.
Welcome to the club!
its one thing to be different but its a totally different thing when u wanna have a dog collar and a leash(i saw that in wal-mart the other day, a girl had on the collar and the boy was holding her leash)Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these kids???
I mean, be goth, wear black, spikey things, but why go beyond that? I feel the same and I am only 26, jeez
Yes I remember when that happened to me too. I nearly cried. Now I just go drink.
aw yup. i noticed it most last summer when i'd go to concerts and these little girls of like 12 and 13 were there wearing skirts that didn't cover their whole ass. my friends and i were all "i would NEVER let my daughter out of the hosue like that!!!! ...oh god, we're so lame"
Geez... I've been thinking like that since I was a teenager!! LOL.. I guess I've always been old.

That is the joy and beauty of our Bill of Rights. People can choose to be dominated by their President, religion, Pat Robertson or their boyfriend if they want. I think it is ridiculous, but I am not going to stop them unless it is physically dangerous.
Do you make grunting noises when you get up from sitting on the floor or bending down really low?
I have a younger brother and sister who are way way younger than me, and every so often stuff comes out of my mouth and I stop and wonder if I'm channelling my mother.
I like goth stuff, and if you want to let your ass hang out the bottom of your skirt that's okey dokey with me. The thing that gets me is the boys who have pant legs that are only about a foot long and then the rest is the part between the crotch and the waist. They have to waddle around and hold their pants up when they walk. It makes them look like some kind of ape/sloth, it completely goes against any kind of ideal of the human form. It's hard to tell with those boys if they are 13 or 20 and they all seem to have that fuzzy teenage mustache (the teenstache). They can dress however they want to, it's fine with me, but is it hard to get a girlfriend when you look like a total idiot?
I was about to say thanks for the dress code tip, but ummmm... never mind... just kidding.
Hehe! You're old!
I do the same thing too. I think it's inevitable, at least some things.
:-D
Yikes.
Inevitable.
Sane.
I had that exact same feeling today while nannying the spawns of satan. It's awful, isn't it?
BTW--love your blog...it's something new for me to read while I'm in class...trying to pay attention.
Well, was the movie any good?
