19th November 2009 -

It has not been a good day, in fact your lucky to even be getting a blog out of me. Today I have realised, that probably the best thing that has ever happened to me, has gone, and there’s a chance he’s not coming back - this reality has hit me harder than if I’d have been hit by a bus. So to try and distract myself from this horrible realisation, I’m going to have a rant about old people. Ok I know what your thinking, “what the heck is she on about now” but just let me explain.. Today, young people are seen to be trouble makers, which is totally not the case. Yes, your average teenager is maybe a bit on the wild side, doesn’t mean that’s always a bad thing though, you just have to use this “wild” side, in a more productive way, other than say.. throwing rather large objects at old age pensioners. (no matter how fun\funny this may sound) Instead, other teenagers prefer to spend time with their friends or even be the ones to help the old age pensioners up when they’re hit by the rather large objects, and as unlikely as this may seem, it’s actually true. Just because were a little hormonal and mixed up, doesn’t mean were out to kill somebody - were actually just bored. And I have come to notice, that it is mostly old people who seem to try and stay away from us, like were a disease or something. I can understand why they may get a little frustrated with teenagers, I mean you‘d be frustrated too if you had to put your teeth in a glass every night before bed time, but come on, if they’ve been alive since the war, a few teenagers aren’t exactly going to bother them are they!? This is something that I decided to share with my grandma. I confusingly asked her about it, and being the good grandma that she is, she informed me that although a lot of old people may act that way, she’s not one of them. She said, and I quote “I was once a teenager myself, and I know how hard it is, your body is going through a lot of changes, and it doesn’t help to have hundreds of old people running (or shuffling) towards you with pitch forks and shot guns.” This made me chuckle, and it’s actually quite comforting to know, that if a war did start between teenagers and old people, that I can be 100% sure, my grandma would be on the teenagers side, with her slippers, loaded and ready to kick some OAP arse.
