OLD

Dear Will,
OK, then by your definition, I'm old. I don't ever "pretend to get wild," and I honestly don't care whether the shows I watch or the music I listen to is cool. I have no intention of ever going to a club again in my life, and I can't ever remember what I liked about them in the first place. I'm far happier reading in bed at 9:30 than most club-goers and drug-takers are when they're out on the town. And it makes me snicker that you think I've let something "slip away": I am so looking forward to turning 30 that it'd make your skin crawl. But you have fun with your piggyback rides and drugs; I'll just sit here in my home with my maxed-out Roth and the teddy bear I'm knitting for charity and enjoy being old.

Oh, and I never drink Heineken, just Budweiser from the can.

Will,

I'm an old friend of Sarah's from our hometown. Though I disagree with just about everything political she writes about here, it is somewhat entertaining to read your comments (most of which, I admit, I agree with). Maybe I haven't been following your comments closely enough (it would undoubtedly be easier if you got your own blog?), but what's with the recent low blows? To that end: who are you and why do you even care? For the record, the music on the link to myspace sucked. I know for certain that Sarah's eclectic music tastes run circles around your's.


And just an FYI:
Drugs are so 90's and Heineken is a poser beer. You aren't one of those flip-flop wearing White Sox fans who used to drink Heineken in the clubs in Wrigleyville until a couple of years ago are you? If you really want to pose, try a La Chouffe and enjoy a good beer as you pose.

"just Budweiser from the can."

Not just old, but, an old redneck!!! lol

I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now (linked from somewhere I forget).

Welcome home. DMV, DFAS, late furniture....ahhh, the joys of modern life (whether military or civilian, sometimes the little annoyances drive us craziest.)

Did you catch the Scientology episode of South Park? They are supposed to replay it 7/19 and Tom Cruise is (supposedly) livid. Hee, hee.

Sorry for the haphazard post, but, I'm doing three things at one time.

Two points:

1. Older women are fine, fine creatures worthy of adulation and respect. And the occasional glance at the ass. (Look but don't touch - I know the rules).

2. Drinking Budweiser from the can is hot, and also worthy of adulation and respect.

3. Flip flops are just easier. I'll check out "La Chouffe."

That's all. I'm not hating here. Really. I was just talking. I think Sarah is cool. Drugs are not cool. And the Foo Fighters on that link are just for fun. If you want to know, I'm currently into the Stars, Arcade Fire, Polyphonic Spree, Jack Johnson, Blue October and the occasional Killers. (even though he was a Mormon once.)

Will -- You should see my ass, you'd shit yourself.

Pamela -- We've got the DVR already set for Wed's episode!

Curtis -- Even though we don't agree on much, and it's unfathomable how we ever thought we might be able to date, it's nice to see you have my back nonetheless...

and don't forget, drinking Budweiser from a can while knitting at my house watching "four weddings and a funeral" all on a Sunday after noon when your husband was in Iraq for over a year...good times....HA HA HA!

AND i was just wondering when NOT breaking the law by using drugs was turned into just being old? I think you're just a responsible and mature twenty-something:) Trust me, 30 IS great!

And don't forget, when you reach the lofty age of 31 you can have the dubious pleasure of saying to your friends "I was 4, a score and seven years ago."

Or at least the pleasure of your friends is likely to be dubious...

Come on Angie - you never smoked weed when you were younger. Please don't get all pretentious and pretend that it's about not "breaking the law."

Sarah-

Can I see a picture of your ass in jeans? Just to see if I shit or not?
