my angry song

[jemma]

it's late at night and i can't sleep... or don't want to. it's miranda's birthday today. she's 19.

reading back over old livejournal entries, i wish i wrote more so i could remember it. there have been some fun things that have happened over the last few years. some stupid stuff too.

i'm starting to feel old. someone shake me out of this rut.

don't feel old, jemma! you're just right, and um...all the more closer to being able to reasonably date guys that i tend to like..... ;)

[taintedsky]

ps, while we're talking about that i'm going with nancy to chapters (on broadway!...) in half an hour......not that i'm expecting anything, no, not me..

[jemma]

i am soon to be 20. that is old. i can feel the rust!

[taintedsky]

no rusting! that term can only be applied to chris' brain during the summer. but nothing else and certainly no jemmas.

it isn't old! it's marvellously youthful and fun! you get to be young and have fun without feeling completely inadequate and clueless as much of our children do. our as in our society... not... our.

though i am sure, if i were a man, that we would have lovely children.

this comment is really creepy, i do apologise. it was never my intent.

jemma your awesome not old . . . the journal is good for looking back on memories . . .

i went down memory lane the other day . . . went through the photos i've taken since i've had a camera . . . some of them made me happy and quiet a few choked me up because of changed circumstances in various people's lives and how things could have been different . . .

[jemma]

aw thanks nev. sometimes it's nice to look back on memories... :)

Hope you don't mind me dropping in and saying Hi. I figure I've met you in person now, so I kinda can... until you tell me to go away.

Take it from an 26 year old bag like me, who isn't at all an old bag... just a bag... no really. 20 is GOOD.
Age doesn't really mean anything other than you've been around a little bit longer, so you can say you know your way around a little better. And no matter what, you can't change it, so why dislike it!?

After some similar feelings on age a few years back myself, I'm now pretty ambivilent to numbers and truly feel that ageing is a good thing if handled the right way, and I don't mean by physical ageing.

I don't think I want to be 20 again. How embarrassing. I like myself better at the age I'm at. Old is cool... but I'm not old yet so I have a long way to go to being cool, (I'm still aged around 15 in behaviour). It's fun to start telling people you are actually 62 instead of twenty (you

(not) Jemmmaaaaaaaaa and Azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa! :P

hi gina,

you're welcome to hang around, though i don't update much and rarely say anything!

i guess i'm just feeling a bit stagnant or something, and have blamed it on getting older... i think i might borrow your idea and tell everyone i'm a lot older than i am on my birthday and see if they believe me.

jemma. :)

Music to shake you 'out of your rut' and inspire you to update again:

"Ahhh, Shake shake shake! (da na na na na na)....Shake shake shake! (da na na na na na)... Shake your booty! (da na na, da na na, da na na naaa), Shake your booty..." (da na na, da na na, da na na naaa),
(Break it down.. you can do the bongo solo here..)
"Shake Shake.............Shake Shake........
Shake Shake.............Shake Shake........"
