So last night I watched Care Bears the Movie (1985) and yes I remembered it.  Plus, the animation was amazing.  Mickey Rooney was the narrator.  It was magical.

Then this morning I watched, Felicity: an American Girl on the Hallmark channel - it's not my fault this movie is full of Gingers!  I may or may not have cried.  *GASP* ( the movie is still on) and Felicity just got her dress. (crying) omg she looks so beautiful.  sHUT UP Ben is her escort.  Ben Davidson I love you!  Marry me Choose me Love ME!  .....*awkward*

So back to how I forgot how old I was:  I read through my aim profile and remembered I had put in this awesome poem that I found on the Tube in London.
A. E. Housman (1859-1936).  A Shropshire Lad.  1896.   XIII. When I was one-and-twenty     WHEN I was one-and-twenty   I heard a wise man say, ‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas   But not your heart away;   Give pearls away and rubies        5   But keep your fancy free.’ But I was one-and-twenty,   No use to talk to me.   When I was one-and-twenty   I heard him say again,        10 ‘The heart out of the bosom   Was never given in vain; ’Tis paid with sighs a plenty   And sold for endless rue.’ And I am two-and-twenty,        15   And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.  I love this because I was 21 when I first read it and I loved it the next year because i was 22. So,  I read the portion, "And I am two-and-twenty, And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true."  So at this moment I was unsure, alas how old was I?  Was I still 22?  Or indeed was I 23?

So being the intelligent old person that I i.m.ed Ginge and she told me I was 22 and I was uncertain of this so we went by her birth year and discovered that I was indeed 23, which means I will be 24 this year.  I remember when I thought 24 was old...oh wait I still think 24 is old.  Sadness.

P.S> I forgot to add that Febreeze is taking over the world.  They just put it in the Mr. Clean sponge and it's in dryer sheets and detergent, soon it will be in our food so it's "FRESHER!"  :D
