I’m (temporarily) deaf. But I think I’m (permanently) old.

(The text below may seem disjointed because it came from some IMs I just exchanged with Bossdude.)

I just got home from the Mika concert at the Wiltern. Since Yoshi refused to go with me, I convinced our friend LS to come with. Yoshi did play chauffeur, though (thanks, Hunny!)

I felt old. The place was filled with 13 year old girls in skimpy outfits. And then there were a whole bunch of gay guys. Weird crowd.

But fun fun show.

We had “floor” tickets which are like right up front and general admission (no seats! Scary!)

And we were about to go inside and these two little girls were like, “Does anyone want to sit?”

And me and my friend were like, “SEATS!?? WE’RE WE WANT SEATS!”

And the girls were sooo happy!

They were like “OMG! OMG! Really? OMG!”

So cute!

Then we got up to the seats and there were already 3 people sitting there. And this guy was sitting there with two littler boys and he goes “So my daughter convinced you to trade tickets, huh?”

I was like “Yeah.” (pointing at the screaming craziness that was the floor)

“I’m old now and all that down there does not look like fun to me anymore.”

Yes, I’m old now.

Well, I’m not 13 anymore, anyway. That’s for damn sure. I also don’t dress like a 13 year old it seems.

There were some really inappropriate outfits there tonight

I was like “Really? Who let you out the door wearing that?”

And since I’m old, I officially have to go to bed now

I can’t stay up late after doing stuff like this

Glad the concert was close by (at the Wiltern) and not some place gawdawfully far like Glen Helen Pavilion!

Thanks again to LS for going with me and to Yoshi for driving us & picking us up!

And thanks to Mika and the band for putting on such a great show!

    Old?! Old?! You young whipper-snappers don’t know what old is. I used to walk to the video arcade in the snow with no shoes for 50 miles (both ways) all year round just to play Pac-Man. We didn’t have any of them there fancy-smancy concerts with lights and instruments… we had to be content with MTV for our music. You and your fancy no-lead econo-friendly cars and MP3 players. I remember when…

    What? No, I aint gonna take my medicine….

    I hear ya, sister. I was at a show on Friday with some friends and at one point we all looked at each other and basically agreed we were getting too old for some of the crap people pull at shows…
    But it sounds like you had fun!

    You’ll know you’re old when you run out and yell, “You damn kids get off my lawn!”, and you try to spray them with your water hose. Then you’re truly old.

    Jealous that you got to see Mika. When I got off my lazy ass to see when he was playing in NYC the show was already sold out.

    I totally understand you. Now when I go out and we go dancing…I sit there going, did your mother see you wear that out of the house??!! Or…do you even KNOW how cold it is outside?!

    …forgetting that at one point in time, that was me. Ahhhh to be older and wiser.
