You always act so stupid. You always talk so dumb.

I made the mistake of going back and reading old entries in this journal a few days ago, and now I am filled with crippling self-loathing and a strong sense that I used to be much more awesome four or five years ago and so maybe it is true what the young people say: OLD PEOPLE ARE LAME. ETA: I do not mean to imply that I am worried there is no way ( Read more... )

the endless fascination of my own navel

I had to do an observation of teenagers in a public setting for a class. I've never felt so old in my life.

What conclusions did you draw about them?!

It feels like we get old so fast! I remember the first time I heard about some pop star (Debbie Gibson, ahem) that was younger than me and realizing that my time had already passed. I was 18 years old.

We had to highlight the developmental milestones and features of adolescence and a few of us spoke at length about how much we hate teenage girls.

I LOVED DEBBIE GIBSON. I think she was only very slightly older than me. I get very surprised when I find out any up and coming stars are actually older than me these days. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE.

It's hard not to hate teenaged girls after you have been one yourself and know exactly what lurks inside our poisonous little hearts. I devour any and all literature that crosses my path about why teenaged girls are so fucked up, but I haven't ever heard a satisfactory explanation.

If I could start over again, I'd really like to study organizational psychology-- I am fascinated by the way we put ourselves in groups and the pathologies that naturally emerge. I don't get the impression this is a very profitable line of work unless you become an executive coach or something, though.

I was never like those teenage girls I hate! The trendy, slutty, loud and shrill, obsessed with looking the same type of teenage girls >.< I've always been very dorky.

Group psychology is fascinating. I'm doing a module on it now, it's so complicated too. I'd love to take a course in it after I'm done with my main education *_*
