buzzkill.

Meh. No kidding. While I get to see Moira, the amount of paperwork I need to get taken care of in person makes me want to bathe myself in Jim Beam. There's enough red tape to strangle a giraffe.

you can fix all that with a lighter

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, tempting but then I'd have a shrieking Scotswoman on my hands cursing at me in Gaelic and that's NOT pretty.

there are always consequences

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Stupid consequences.

when forced to adult, play silly music

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Can I play angsty rock and tell people to leave me alone cause no one understands me cause they're not my real dad?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

you COULD, but you would also look ridiculous since you're not wearing black lipstick and an ankh

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

No but I have black rimmed glasses and a couple of flannel shirts that I can layer over ironic t-shirts and go hipster.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

you're too old to be a hipster

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Psh. I'm a Millennial. We pioneered hipsters.

Now get off my lawn, y'damn kid.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

aren't you older than me?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Yep. Still a millennial, though. That generation started in the early 80s.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

....wouldn't that make you GenX or GenY?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Depends on who you ask. I've seen the cut off date for Gen-X as 1980, 1982, or 1984, though generally 1980.

Gen-Y or Millennials (the terms are often used interchangeably though according to the Atlantic Gen-Y is 'Made up') tend to start around 1980 or 1982 and run until 2004.

I reject your definitions and substitute my own

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

okay, all respect to Bill Nye, that's not science. That's an arbitrary definition that varies by whomever wants to set it for their own purposes. You cannot site THE MEDIA as a fact.
