Hi im new to this site, and looked through most of it and thought it was for kids. Im 28 ~(so a little under the 40 bar but whos counting) and live in somerset i england. I saw loads of people came from all over, so i thouhght i would add that. I write for fun, have been for over 14 years, and my favorate thing is tea and fags followed by not much. Have been diagnosed for about 7 years, and have other chronic illness, so dont really do muych at present, but have never met anyone else with AS, have seen people who i think have it worse than me, but thats it. Ive always felt like a freak, like an old person inside a youngsters frame. I guess thats why ive put my mark here to say hi. Anyhow. Im not one for jokes but can chat about most things (other than home and away, which is shite, although anyone who wants to muse on the new Dr Who series would be good, it looks cool.!) anyhow.
Hi.
Bye.
Oh boy, you are going to fit in here real good. And Lau is from Somerset. Yes, by all means, join our freak show. As for feeling like an old person inside a young person's frame, that will probably slowly, incrementally reverse and you will be young inside the old. As in the line from Dylan (Bob): "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
My Back Pages
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
