Signs of aging
I'm not into this whole getting old scene. I like to think I'm young and hip. Apparently I'm not. Here's the evidence. You be the judge.
I heard Ghost Busters on the radio on the way home from school. I told my friend, Kristin, who is 22. She wasn't born when that was out.
Kristin and I watched Pretty Woman together tonight. She remembered it from when her parents went to a screening of it when she was in like 2nd grade. She had only seen it once and couldn't appreciate the fact that I literally know EVERY line.
(Should I list some of my favs for you?
Mary Pat, Mary Kate, Mary Francis, Toba!! Get ready to have some fun!
These are broken. Mine are broken.
Oh! Groovy.
I liked it so much I almost peed my pants. She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance.
I could keep going...I won't. Feel free to leave your fav. on the comments.)
I fell getting into the tub the other day. It's metal and VERY slippery. I did some damage to my knee I think. It's got one of those yellow, brown bruises that is just hanging on...it's been a week! Go away already. And then someone had the nerve to tell me that I was lucky not to have broken a hip!
Kristin and I were out getting pedicures last week. The guy doing my feet asked if she was my DAUGHTER!!! She's 22. I almost kicked him in the throat.
Am I old?

Actually, the person was right. Doctors can do much more today with hip injuries than knee injuries. For old people, hip injuries used to be the start of a quick downward slide, but with modern advancements, they don't have to be that way. The knee however still tends to be a little tricky and problems tend to linger.
I watched Pretty Woman last Saturday morning (nice huh?, better than cartoons for sure)--it had ben WAY too long!
"aya, stucki, coche" (the asian driver says something to this effect at the beginning) / "lights, lights would be good here" / "where were you last night, i called and called? ma?" -- i could go on and on...one day we should watch this together, maybe over a plate of grashoppers!! Yikes, seriously.
"Work it...work it...own it!"
"What's your name?/What do you want it to be?"
"I'm a safety girl!"
"Look, honey. I've got a run in my pantyhose. I'm not wearing pantyhose!"
"Big mistake. Big. Huge! I have to go shopping now!"
"Cinder-f-in-rella!"
Pretty Woman viewing in It'ly? I THINK SO!
