Status Updates

Have gotten in touch with High School best friends over at Face Book.

Very recently, someone's status update about putting one's foot down and being an alpha male (we are all female) and another's video link of Paul McCartney's "Singalong Junk" sparked up (online) conversations about girl power and dressing up in a black suit-and-daggers ensemble for when those "kickin' ass" moments come up, and wanting to be thirteen or sixteen again and going to the places one used to frequent when one was young, doing the things one used to do a lot when one was yet unwary of how beset with worries adulthood could be.

Are these signs that one is growing old?

Or maybe it's just the rain. Was scorching hot early in the week, and now, these downpours.

Or is it because Mercury has turned direct?

Let me make a mental note to type that on my Facebook status update space.

On second thought, I think I've already done that.
