There plusses and minuses to being 20 and 40, but for the most part, I would never want to go back to being 20. I feel life gets so much richer with life's experiences that one gains only over time. -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

Welcome Penny, and yes I know you are not a gatecrasher! The thing I hate the most about being older is that everybody starts being younger than you. And you start wishing things were like they were before, which is really boring and stupid. Would I like to be 20 again? yeah, I had sooooo many adventures when I was young! Of course some people, like Eddie, never stop with the adventures, he really doesn't seem almost 40, except for his taste in movies! (NT) -- spoot waving hello to Penny!

- *ahem* well, to SOME of us, Mr. Izzard is still a youngun...he's not even as old as my little sister!!! Now, on the "getting old" bit - don't get me started, but seems to me you're only as old as you allow yourself to be. Sometimes I'm about 19, sometimes 12, and sometimes 82...depends on the planet. Divide your age by four, and you're a Martian...oh, nevermind.... (NT) -- gumtree, 23:23:16 08/23/01 Thu
  - Well inside of me there's no way I'm twenty. Where's my desire to holiday in Ibiza, get out of my head on various substances, be a serial shagger and wear fashionable clothing? Magenta has a theory on how old we are (me, Jas and her). I'm inclined to agree. I'm 21 in October, everyone's invited to the party... :) (NT) -- Penny, 09:27:28 08/24/01 Fri
    - God Penny I have to laugh, I did ALL those things when I was 21, even the Ibiza thing, lived there for a month! The only thing I didn't do was wear fashionable clothes coz I was anti-establishment then and fashion was for the decadent middle class. How naive all that seems now. Are you throwing a big blowout for your 21st? (NT) -- spoot doddering in her memories, 12:06:45 08/24/01 Fri
      - I want to live in a nice clean tidy house, with cats, and visit places that have some culture. I'm teetotal, I don't smoke and I think drugs are for people with no imagination of their own. I can be free off my own bat. And as for my views on sexuality, well they'd fill a book as Magenta well knows. No, no big blow-out. Be as weird as me and you don't have millions of friends, especially not people prepared to travel oop North just for little old me. I'll probably have a handful of people round to eat cake and Twiglets with. (NT) -- Penny, 13:33:39 08/24/01 Fri
        Well then we shall have a cyber blowout. and you are welcome to publish that sexuality book on this page, I have my own tome in my head, just need to have the time and energy to write it down. I did enjoy my first taste of marijuana and my first hit of LSD, it definitely opened my mind to the concept of alternative realities. But I have to say most drug people are the stupidest, scummiest people, they give drugs a bad name! Okay I'm rambling now, I better go... (NT) -- spoot must get off my duff and go to work, adios!, 14:23:04 08/24/01 Fri
        Penny, if you remind me in October, I'd love to sing Happy Birthday to you in cyber space! And I respect that you're being yourself, whether people can appreciate it or not, shows character. (NT) -- BZC, 17:32:40 08/24/01 Fri
