Diary of Lisa Taylor, reluctantly 42 (and a half)

Or.. 'f.ck me I'm forty.. two.. and a half', though can look 38 on a - not so deluded - good day. Or 'How to reconcile a well experienced mind trapped in a still - but for how long? – youthful body.' Don't have the 30somethings angst/problems, neither have the resigned (?) ageing baby-boomers in safe family territory outlook yet. Here's how I cope, one day all sexy women will get old... but never invisible. © Lisa Taylor 2005/6/7/8/9. Jeez.. so much for the 42 and-a-half delusion

1 November - teenage blogs

Oh boy, I may be getting a touch bored by blogs. Have checked one mentioned by a friend and it gets 1m hits, clearly because every entry is blatantly writing about sex which I don't object to at all, far from it, but it's somehow short of being that interesting and we've read it all before though, admittedly the fact I'm ten years older than that blogger means that surely there must be readers ten years younger than her who have yet to try certain things out for themselves and reading about them is stimulating enough for now. I have indeed discovered a couple of objects she mentions which are on my Xmas list now but aside from that I sort of regretted printing so much of it to read and the trees that went with it.
Thing is, she seems to have blog envy too and in an earlier posting mentions how not coming top of the blogs at somme award made her double her efforts to get more hits ie more key sex words are mentioned etc etc. I told my friend that Anais Nin it is not (she knew anyway) or Henry Miller or anything that had the benefit of being based on the life of someone who was extraordinary and also drew from the company of extaordinary people. This blogger is a regular person, not that well educated even -not that this is necessarily a drawback, only for snobs like me perhaps. Ok, back in the drawer with that knife. I went trawling for other stuff and found the blogs of a few teenagers and thought oh my god, it could be worse, I could be a teenager now, pregnant or near as, one that hasn't come to grips with verbs -'have runed away' is certainly a new one on me or with 'oh what to do in life?' questions. I am going to paste some of their entries below because... they cheered me up no end in that phew, what am I whingeing about when I whinge about me? type way. Here they are:

well I am 16 going on 17, iam a Junior at Jordan High school.
Iam tall skinny with kinda long hair.My life here in watts its not that bad like people thing it is.Theres nothing uncommon going on in here that is not happening somewere else, but like watts is considered a city full of poverty and crime they look at us like were the worst city ever.Well yea theres alot of young pregnacies alot of my homegirls have left school to take care of their newborns and many have runed away with their boyfriends, but they are many girls like me
that have other kind of hopes.I want to graduate then go on to college and do something with my life. Not everybody has the same intentions in life here in watts.

am here lying in my bed, not knowing what to do with my life I am stuck in my own world not knowing how to get out. All these questions run through my head all these little voices in my head, in my head telling me to do this, do that, go here, no go there, what should I do?!? My time is running out, im panicing what can I do?!?, WHAT CAN I-
The question is......How do I start?

Or this

    ahh, will go take a look when am next in an internet cafe. Sadly I spend my daytime in a company with 'forbidden site' signs popping up for this kind of thing. No internet at home to avoid ... addictions.
