My random thought for the week:
On Saturday, I had a bizarre realization while watching Full House (I was having a FH marathon while finishing up a knitting project).
In the first season, Uncle Jesse is only twenty-four years old. As in, only three years older than I am right now. Somehow, this makes me feel really old. {And these first episodes aired four years before I was even born. My parents weren't even married yet. The fact that most of the films I watch were made 40-60 years before I was born doesn't faze me, but this does.}
It's sort of like how, for the majority of my life, I thought that high school students and college students were so grown-up and so much older than me. I sometimes forget that now I'm older than that. :)
Growing up is so weird.
Until next time,
I frequently have similar feelings. I still remember thinking that high schoolers were "all grown up." Now I think many of them look too young to be in high school! It's weird how my perspective has changed. Then again, I still don't feel "old enough" to be 21! I feel more like 12. :)
ReplyDelete"Growing up is so weird." Well said! Just wait til you reach 30. You still don't feel grown up. :)
ReplyDeleteKnitting and finishing up projects while having movie/TV series marathons is the way to go! I worked on some of my fingerless gloves (Christmas orders, Christmas orders...) while watching "Annie Hall" for the first time the other night. Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way. I'm 25 now. Older than Uncle Jesse. Like Audrey said I still feel like a 12yr old. When did I become a "grown up?"
