Sorry Duchess, I didnt realise I was supposed to curl up and die because I am over 40. It just so happens I HAVE been the star in my life up to now, I have done what I wanted when I wanted it (within the realms of decency of course!) I have travelled the parts of the world I want to see and am proud to say I have been in constant employment since leaving school.
Pathetic am I, to follow a man who echoes my sentiments about a lot of things and who just happens to be gorgeous and supremely talented. Ok, pathetic it is. I am not Julia nor do I have a miniscule amount of her wealth, but the gigs I go to give me enormous pleasure and I have made a lot of friends through Morrissey. I am sad to realise you would never be one of them
"Maybe I'm too young to get this" is what i also said in my post! I'm only 17. 23 years ahead seems like an eternity to me! I, like most teenagers, have misconceptions about age and aging. I'm sorry if I offended you! I realize that I sounded like a horrible terrible ageist. It is possibly my personal fear of growing old and remaining the same as I am right now (somehow I expect some change to occur...for better..hopefully!) And I think you have a good point, I never thought of the fact that you may have already had a life before Morrissey.
Sorry. My judgments sometimes come from a very biased part of me...and I really can't get rid of that bias until I'm myself, 40 years of age, no matter how hard I try! If I live that long, hopefully I'll look back and want to slap myself as well! And I know I will...so I don't blame you at all!
Forgive me?!?!?!
