why is it so darn effin' hard for bird's to reveal their age?
and why do they have to beat around the bush with a:
1. "...oh, i'm in my uhm, thirties.." [can't remember exactly when she was born]
2. "...i'm twenty-something..." [otherwise peopRe won't believe she's climbed the corporate ladder at such a terribly young age]
3. "...uhm, guess my age... teehee..." [deserves to be walloped]
4. "...no, can't tell you how old i am..." [oft-quoted line by those in their forties]
or worse, fib about their age?
and i thought only local amoebae have this rather illogical reason or three for their irrational behaviour. especially so when they are nearing or hit their third decade:
"... no because peopRe will think how come i...
1. still so childish.."
2. haven't married yet..."
3. still fuck around..."
indeed, you ought to be removed from the gene pool, ye bint. the sooner the better. btw, #3 is made up by moi.
i'm ranting this as whilst having a meal with a mate on monday evening, right after this event; that i discovered, to my dismay, that she fibbed about her age not once. but thrice. she was caught off guard when i uttered, "erm, i thought you said you turned xx the other day?"
it's no big deal since i don't know her well. but what else would she have fibbed? it's a shame really as i enjoyed her company as a quaffin' buddy.
oh well.
as enscribed by the letter b @ April 14, 2005 02:53 PMIts an ageist society, so what if women lie about their age. Big deal
as blahed by ash @ July 26, 2005 10:27 PMsame scenario here. there are those in their forties who not only wear unsuitable clothes but have their hair rebonded, and putting on make up colours that teenagers go for. not sure if they are catching up on lost youth - because they have growing up kids - or that they are desperately trying to land a bloke.
and to think i've ditched my mini skirt and certain clobber moons ago. 'cos i know they aren't appropriate anymore.
as blahed by the letter b @ April 16, 2005 04:41 AMI'm 19 this Friday, don't think I could become more disillusioned than I am though.
I wish people would act their age, we get people who look like they should be in nursing homes wearing mini-skirts and going to nightclubs near where my folks reside. It's not pretty.
as blahed by Miles @ April 15, 2005 11:05 PMi must forewarn you though that when your 30th is around the corner, you'd go through a disorientation phase - whereby your entire twenties will flash you by and you'd start regretting as to why (a) you did those things you'd already done (b) you still haven't got round doing things you'd always wanting to. in other words, your desperately grasping on to the coattails of your twenties.
and to complicate matters, the biological clock ticks rather loudly like a timebomb.. this will go on till the 31st or 32nd. for some people it takes longer. and once your entering the 33rd, you'd suddenly transform into this rather super confident older woman. and then begin taking things a bit slower. so there. and i can't wait to turn 40. weird huh?
as blahed by the letter b @ April 15, 2005 10:28 AMYup, been there, oh wait, I'm still there. I think I'm just clueless.
as blahed by emchi @ April 15, 2005 09:56 AMLOL. this is very bizarre. i did feel kinda lost [in the wilderness] between the ages of 25 and 30! clueless as to what i wanted to do, clueless as to what i really want from life, clueless as to if men were necessary, clueless as to... oh you get the drift :D
as blahed by the letter b @ April 14, 2005 04:53 PMOr you could go for my method which is think I'm a year older than I actually am for some bizarre reason. I tend to go "oh I'm 28, no wait, I'm 27" DOH! the wilderness years between the ages 25 and 30 seem so dull...
