"It just sounds so old..."

My friend, Steph, sent me a screen shot of a Facebook comment I posted on her wall years ago.  September 24th of 2007 to be exact.  Here's what it said:

"aww i wanted to see that but i had studying and everyone wanted to watch the cowboys game...but i plan to see it very, very soon!! i'm super excited about it!!


and...i know! i have less than a week and then i'll be in my 20s!!!!! how crazy is that? it just sounds so old..."


I've taken a few things from this archaic comment.  First of all I obviously should have been given a limit on how many exclamation points I was allowed to put in each post.  Excessive.

Secondly, "it just sounds so old"...really?!  I thought 20 was old.  I'm pushin' 25 here which makes me, what?!  A grandma in my world?  Sheesh.

I have no idea what I was "so unbelievably excited to see" and I don't remember a time when studying would have trumped something so awesome...but I guess this is simply a black and white example that I was responsible at some points throughout my collegiate career.  Kinda.  If you can enter a Facebook comment as proof...

Apparently Steph found this gem using the 'timeline' thing-a-ma-jig on Facebook.  I've yet to convert and after finding out you need simply click on a specific year for it to unlock a world of forgotten posts and comments, I think I'll continue to hold out.  My nostalgic personality would be addicted in .2 seconds.

  1. Don't worry, I spent several weeks going through EVERY SINGLE POST in my Facebook history.
