Gomez - Get Myself Arrested



once in a blue moon I can be a bit maudlin, overly sentimental about times past, not necessarily times to be proud of or anything like that, but just you know those silly times. I don't recognise the me then when look at the me now, how on earth did I morph into this relatively sensible 30 year old married woman I might even be a little bit boring, a little bit overweight, and wow my dress sense is really BORING nowadays, how did I come to marry the good boy, the provider, rather than the rebels I ran with. Have I changed to my core, or is it just the same basic me getting older one wonders. I did run away at the end of those times, all the way to the otherside of the world, maybe the me that landed was indeed a different me after all. I am certainly not the INSANE risk taker of my teens and early 20s, and sometimes like tonight I do miss it a little bit, the adventures, the crazy times, the late nights, the people who were part of my life back then, who came and went, most of our lives havent crossed again but maybe that is a good thing as they must also be different now, and maybe to meet would erase my memories and replace them with more boring incantations, and colourful memories are good.

Anyhow, every once in a while I hear a song and it brings a lot of fun memories to the front of my mind, this being one, now I did indeed own an old BMW but nope didnt get arressted ;0) And if my son does even 1/8 of the things I got up to back then.... well lets say I might be sending him to boot camp

Sometimes I think that myself but then again all things happen for a reason. And if nothing else you have some great stories for your son as he gets older!

Welcome back to the blogosphere. We all seem to have been very different people back then. Your younger days sound way more interesting than mine though!!!
