time keeps on slipping

A thought, while waiting on the subway platform this evening at 68th Street (Hunter College).

There are young people here who are in an entirely different generation than me, but who are clearly adults.

Adults.

It's starting to hit me that I'm really not in my twenties anymore. Not even almost.

When they show the breaking of the berlin wall as *History* I get weirded out.

yeah I feel the same way sometimes, especially with a much younger partner....

If it makes you feel any better, their parents still think they're babies. ;c)

Um. . . my parents still think I'm a little kid sometimes, and I'm in the same boat as Beetiger. The first group of kids I taught were a year younger than my little sister at the time.

Yeah, had that realization myself... it kinda sucks in a way, but I never really was in my generation, anyway...

Heh, heh. I know exactly what you mean. Except I think I'm even further away from my twenties than you, so I feel that way about those in their twenties and thirties.

Actually, I feel much more comfortable in my thirties than I did in my twenties. And my friends in their forties say it just gets better. :-)

Heh. It does. ;)

Eh. Changing tech and history doesn't really make me feel older. Looking at definitely younger but also definitely adults doesn't make me feel all that much older. The thing that weirds me out though, age wise, is listening to the alternative station. I catch myself doing "stop playing this soulless bullcrap that passes for music these days! I want to hear good music, real music, you know, stuff from the early 90s." That makes me feel like I'm getting cranky and it's almost time for my nap and some prune juice.
