Just now catching up with livejournal after weeks of not looking. Darling Gotcha, I'm very pleased to be counted among your older friends who've embraced their cronehood. Me, I haven't just embraced it, I've got it in a stranglehold and I'm not letting go. It's such a huge step up from my former phase--"dilapidated coquetry". For one thing, you get to stop shaving your legs.
Sweet Tyger, I *am* old. I know it must seem incredible, but I'm 51, soon to be 52 (an age I'm looking forward to mostly because of the super-cool deck-of-cards connection). That's not really old, I realize. But somehow I like to think of it as ancient, and I like to think it's brought me serenity and wisdom. I like, most of all, to think of myself as having risen above the fray. Because it turns out I never really liked the fray--all that hope, longing, neediness, upheaval. So I've left all that behind, or, anyway, I *say* I have--which, for me, has always been the first important step toward actually *doing* something.
I'll try to keep you posted on all my changes, and I love that you've included me in the circle with whom you share all of yours.
