***sniffle***I am officially old ***sniffle***

I was just skipping through the People's Choice Awards broadcast and realize that I don't know fully 3/4's of the presenters/nominees/assorted people who think they are important. Also, little girl who won the Under 25 category, "So um yeah..." was annoying the first 5 times you said it. And saying, "I remember watching when I was a little kid..." when you look all of 12 sounds silly too.

Stumping off to bed now.

Try: Older and wiser.

Not knowing the latest pop culture is proof of the wiser part I believe.

'cause I'm not sure what the People's Choice Awards are.
There are twice as many people in the world now than 3/4 of my life ago- and more than twice as many as there were then who're trying to become famous.

I swear I had the exact same thought while watching it. I actually turned the channel after that kid you mentioned. (Who the fuck was she by the way?) That show made me feel like going outside and yelling at someone to get off my lawn.
