actually...
you know you are old when one day you get a note from a student asking if you know Aaron. Immediately the first Aaron image that pops up in your brain is that of Aaron Kwok, king of HK pop, and possibly the only possessor of a youth serum, since he`s like 80 years old and still appealing to squealing hordes of young `uns. So glibly you answer your student by saying, yeah, you know Aaron, smug in your knowledge of the golden boy of HK pop. Then a few weeks later, student and student`s friend motion you over, and flip open a tiny agenda, inside of which you see a 3x5 picture of Aaron... Carter. the squeaky nasal voiced younger brother of Nick I-am-like-so-a-ROCK-star Carter. Oh. THAT Aaron. Pressed for an opinion, you mutter incredulously, "he`s really young!!".. as if you could form any opinion about some munchkin 12 year old... then you remember, your students are only 14, and Aaron is probably already 16 by now.. and you, former guru of Western celebrity gossip, are 23 and out of it.
oh yeah, december, and still sunny and beautiful outside... *gloatgloatgloat*
i need a good old fashioned girls night, complete with Blockbuster/Rogers` rentals, stupid laughing, POPCORN by Orville, btea and pie... (or at least those mini croissant bins from Costco) and it kind of stinks that Love Actually is out now... well maybe it`s good cuz then it`ll be ready for rental when i get back... woooo! perfect chick flick to go gaga and starry-eyed over.
