I wish I were more mature
I haven't matured yet. Not completely, I mean.
In a lot of ways, I have matured. Like
giving up on all my hopes and dreams (Check.),
not telling people what I really think (Check.),
worshiping money (Check.),
no new friends in years (Check.),
not thinking anymore that Bill Gates is the devil (Check.),
realising it's George Bush (Check.)
and basically
not happy to be alive (Check.)
Through all of this, one adult characteristic has eluded me: I do not feel the urge to watch TV programming that involves little kids dancing on stage.
Know what I mean? I still can't watch a dance competition for kindergarten kids. I don't get amazed by their talent wondering "how proud their parents must be".
I await the evening I settle down in front of the TV and think: Boy, I hope I find a channel with kids, dressed up as fairies and angels, shaking their hips to a nursery rhyme.
(Life's big moments, you know? Just like the evening I realised that letting snot dry up in my nose and removing it later in chunks wasn't fun anymore.)
Maturity: It's not just about the pubic hair.
