    Long time coming, it seemed to get me through.
    Long time coming, many served the few.
    And long to taste the shame, that bows down before you!

    Shame! Shame! Throw Yourself AWAY!!!!

    I can't wait to be able to throw the candies at little kids who are trick or treating because they are making me miss my "programs"

    I can't wait to be able to yell "WE DONT WANT ANY!" at anyone who rings the doorbell...

    and I can't wait to be able to wear a housecoat all day. with black socks.

    Don't forget about the houseshoes!

    The coolest thing about being old, to me, is their choice of meals. Only a retiree can pull off a burger, coffee, and fruit salad for lunch.

    Never. You know a young, idealistic, disrespectful asshole such myself would never take an old geezer too seriously. ;)

    Why, sure! You're trainee champion grumpy old bastard! You have the headstart on us all! We were all idealistic hugglemeisters at your age!
    I'm 27 and I'm both... is that allowed? I don't feel the need to be apologetic when I'm a grumpy cow, I actually quite enjoy it :D and yet a lot of the time I'm floating on a fluffy pink cloud full of puppies that just lie there and look cute and play when you want them to play.

    I went into my flat kitchen the other day and finally told my noisy fucking partying housemates (who I dislike) to shut the fuck up and let me get some sleep. I am in my FIRST year at university. I should not be discouraging parties.

    I am 19 years old.
