The first, from January 2001 - by Madi

(Subject: I am *not* getting old)

To quote The Sandman:

"What's the word that means things not always being the same?"
"Change."
"Oh. That's what I was afraid it was."

So Sol's old and I'm older - and WTF am I doing feeling ancient in my 30s? I am not happy with this bullshit of being over the hill after about age 25. It seems as people get longer, the useless portion of our lives gets longer. Dammit, this is not how it will be. From now on, I am not old, everyone else (or, at least, those younger than me) are ridiculously young. If you are less than 30 years of age, you are a child. If you're less than 25 years of age, you are an infant. If you're less than 20 years of age, you are not human. Teeny-boppers can fuck off out of my way and lick the ground I walk on. I refuse to feel old, and to be *made* to feel old until I'm in at least the last 3rd of my life - so I've got another 30 years (at least) of being officially young. TV - fuck off. Cinema - fuck off. Music industry - fuck off. I am not the way of the past, I am the way of the future. Learn to cope.
