Why am I the only young'un around here lately???

[WritingIsMyReligion]

I saw MMR earlier....but Ava just disappeared off of the face of DU (though "they" are still makin' news on her online. :D)

You old farts drove them off, didncha? Hunh? HUNH? Well, you won't get me, so: :P :P :P

:silly:

[kiraboo]

1. They're all off working full-time summer jobs!

Ha!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. 'Scuse me!

Just because I'm still too young, technically, to work doesn't mean ya haveta get...itchy...about it!

:P :P

:hi:

[kiraboo]

7. You know I'm just messing with you, trying to make you feel guilty.

You feeling guilty yet?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

8. Nope.

:P

[kiraboo]

11. You are truly an evil young woman. n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

12. Mmhmmm.

:evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

18. You can always get a farm work pernit and pick lobsters

A-yuh...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

33. You never get off that Mainer kick, do ya?

;)

[LostinVA]

80. It's fun to tease you -- if it makes you feel better

I do it because my friends from Orono plays up the Maine-uh thing all of the time.

So, I'll ask you this instead: have any interesting plans for the summer?

[jadedconformist]

3. How old are you?

And I wonder if I'm considered to be in the Old Fart category yet. Hmmm. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. 14.

:P :P

[jadedconformist]

6. Yep.

I'm an old fart then. 26. hahaha.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. You creak, you're so old.

:P

:silly:

[jadedconformist]

25. You reek because...

you still wear diapers! :cry:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

34. Oh, how clever!

:eyes:

:P

[Ariana Celeste]

5. Am I young enough for ya?

Probably not if I can officially go to the bar. :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. Definitely not, then.

:P :P

[Fleshdancer]

13. Ava sighting in GD...she's going to be on Scarborough Country!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1425883&mesg_id=1425883

I wonder how nervous she is. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. Damn, that girl puts me to shame.

When I'm a Pulitizer-winning author, THEN she'll see.

:P :P

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Pulitzer?

I think you'll do much better than that little trinket.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

35. Hah; I wish.

For now I'm just a dreamer....not that that's a bad thing.

;)

I'm TRYING to write some world-changin stuff (:eyes: :P) right now. Quit distracting me!

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

What, in the form

of a whiny-assed Lounge post? :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

40. You are the most aggravating person around these parts, y'hear?

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. Cool

I'm of some value. :woohoo:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. You could put it that way, yeah.

;)

[Sequoia]

63. Nobel Prize for Literature.

But you have to have a lot under your belt first.

[Arkham House]

77. Write her screenplays for her...

Orson Welles was the greatest moviemaker there ever was, I think--but he wasn't the greatest writer...you can write all her films, and get the Pulitzer in your spare(!) time...and you can both win a ton of Oscars, and we old geezers can say "we knew you when"...

[NJ Democrats]

14. What? I'm still here

and I'm your age.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. I didna know that.

Solidarity in younglings!

:toast:

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

17. Don't know how young I am for you midgets,

but my Internet here in Freeperville sucks big hairy moose herks. x(

And I'm busy drinking and carousing this week before my good friend goes off to boot camp next Tuesday. :(

21. There's one in my wallet.

Don't know that I'll get to use it. :shrug:

[WCGreen]

22. YOu have to change those out every now and then....

Just to make sure they are still safe...

[ZombieNixon]

24. This particular one's only been there about four days.

I think it'll be OK for a bit longer. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

56. If you're talking what I think you're talking about...

Storing them in the wallet is not advisable. The heat and whatnot is bad for them.

[ZombieNixon]

60. Oh, I know that.

I doubt I'll ever even use that one. One of my friends just handed out a bunch my last night of school last week and I didn't have any other place to put it.

On some of the boxes they say specifically "store in a cool place like (blah blah blah) NOT A WALLET." :)

[ghostsofgiants]

62. Haha, yeah, a lot of people don't bother to read the boxes...

Wouldn't want any mishaps to occur, haha.

[ZombieNixon]

71. There's a lot of cruicial information on those boxes.

Stuff like, oh I don't know...how to *use* the things. :eyes: ;)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

36. Oh, you're still pretty young.

:P :P

[ZombieNixon]

61. And you're still short.

:P

[JohnKleeb]

64. Wishing your friend good luck

I still think about enlisting honestly myself.

[ZombieNixon]

65. I'll pass that along.

I thought about joining the Navy because it's *ever* so slightly safer during wartime in the desert...but my parents would have probably run me over with a steam roller before they let me join the military. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

67. I couldn't be infantry

I am too damned big and slow and don't have any markmanship skills. Now I could do inteligence, it intrigues me and I have some knowledge of it.

[ZombieNixon]

70. The NSA briefly courted me during my sophomore year of HS...

It freaked me out and I didn't return their letters. :D

[JohnKleeb]

72. Thats freaky

I just took a class on Int'l relations last semester.

[ZombieNixon]

73. I've been meaning to take some PoliSci courses.

Haven't got around to it, yet, though. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

75. I think we only have a few poli sci courses

So I'll take a history course or a local government poli sci course because I need to understand shit better.

[WCGreen]

19. When I was your age...

We woulda been down to the swimmin' hole....

Drinkin' lemonade and singin' old spiritual songs...

By gum...

Old Clem would break out the old Uke and we'd sing up a storm...

I remember old Bessie...

She loved By the Light of the Silvery Moon....

By Gum...

And then she would dance, raise up her knickers and we would all have our way with her...

By Gum!!!!!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

37. What is THAT?

:rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. The kiddies all ran a-skeert of the wild Hedges.

:shrug:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

38. That's probably it.

:P

[JohnKleeb]

26. define young

says the person who voted yesterday.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Johnny Boy, you're ready to be put in a home...

...compared to the youngsters 'round these parts nowadays. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

28. I know

I like it though.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. Yeah.

No longer the spring chicken you are, college boy.

How'd the second semester go?

[JohnKleeb]

31. Went well

Had to do some public speaking but I bit the bullet and did pretty well.

[Magrittes Pipe]

46. Sweet!

Way to go! :thumbsup:

[tigereye]

53. that's funny that you are the "old salt" now, John

[JohnKleeb]

54. Certainly is

Its nearly been a year since I graduated.

[tigereye]

57. my son is now 10

and that shocks me. I see all my friends' older kids in high school or ready to graduate. Some of them are done with college, for heaven's sake. And I think, where did my youth go?

It's amusing to be old and wise. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

58. I remember some of 6th grade honestly

God it's kind of pathetic when you look bad on it. How innocent and idealistic we all were. Than you get hit in the face with a little thing called reality.

[lumberingbear]

30. Come here honey and I will tell you all about my arthritis and...

then I will show you this boil I've got on my.....
(Is she gone yet???)
:rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

39. I'm still here!

Working to change the world that's perpetually fucked-up!

:D :P :D

[TimeChaser]

41. Well, I'm 19

My friends tell me I'm old because I turn 20 this year, though :P


But I refuse to grow up!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

42. Good enough.

:thumbsup:

;)

[In_The_Wind]

43. I can't help it if I keep on having birthdays.

:shrug: BTW - Who are you calling an old fart?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

49. Oh, about 90% of the Lounge...

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

44. Well geeeze...

This is the internet. We're ALL young and gorgeous.

Now...hand me my cane, you whippersnapper and we'll See who can still chase people around...

:P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

50. Oh, you aren't ancient...

Just not a youngling, that's all.

:P

[khashka]

47. We hate children and are mean to them

and they go running and screaming as far as possible! You're next WIMR!

Actually, MMR has been around and I'm sure I saw Ava the other day.

But you guys have lives... school, friends, hobbies, household chores your parents make you do. Not like us old farts who are too broken down to do anything but hang out on DU...

Khash.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. I have a life?

That's news to me.

:P

:hi:

[Guy Fawkes]

52. I'm asleep

making up for all that sleep I lost during High School.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

66. I can totally relate.

x( x(

:D

[tigereye]

55. nice pix of Bill Evans

mmm - whatever happened to AlFrankenFan. She was in high school, as I recall. I suspect there are more of you high-schoolers than you realize.

maybe they are all at the pool or babysitting. That's where I would have been when I was your age. (leans on walker) ;)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

68. Hahaha--I probably don't know half the HS'ers on here.

:D

Evans is too cool for words--smart as anything, fairly handsome, eloquent, and a damned fine pianist. Addicted, too--and dead :D--but we won't mention those things. ;)

Hey, he lives on in his music, right? :)

[tigereye]

83. mmm, yes. Here are some women pianists, too for your perusal

do you like Geri Allen? She's one of my favorite living, conceptual jazz pianists.
http://www.telarc.com/biography/bios.asp?aid=172

and then there was Dorothy Donegan. Amazing.







too women pianists at very different ends of the continuum....

[RetroLounge]

59. young'un?

I hear you are an undercover agent trying to catch the old farts being nasty...

:hi:

RL

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. Yeah, I am.

There's a conspiracy going on, didn't you know?

:D

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

76. You can't fool me

I saw it all along...

RL

[WritingIsMyReligion]

78. Suuuuure you did.

Mmhmmm.....

:P

[bamacrat]
