I'm too old for this shhh..


As i am the biggest fan of How I met Your Mother, i recall their earlier episode where they showed how some stuff we used to do before, we are too old to do now. and called it theMurtaugh List. Inspired by Lethal Weapon's Roger Murtaugh's famous line, I'm too old for this sh*t. It's genius.

this got me thinking. maybe i should jot down my Murtaugh list too.

after all, i can't be forever debbie oca the wild child .

or can i? ;P

but there are some things i know for sure.

like, im too old to wear black knickers under white pants. or undies higher than my low-rise jeans. i learned these the hard way.

im too old to wear see-through blouses. back then it might be forgivable. teens are allowed occasional fashion faux pas. now see-through blouses may just let people see through your desperation.

im too old to wear Von Dutch caps, and especially sideways. not like i ever worn one. but i admit i actually owned one before.

im too old to decide which tattoo design to get over lunch with friends. bad idea. and i have that constant reminder on my lower back.

im too old to start dancing on an empty dancefloor. or be the last one standing on the dancefloor. it's as tiring as it can be humiliating.

im too old to pierce my own ear. or have my bestfriend pierce it. ended up having 5 piercings on one ear. might have seemed cool for a brief moment. up until i realized im a lady.

im too old to kiss a guy at a bar, and struggle the next day to remember his name. first it's irresponsible. but mostly just slutty.

im too old to take drinks offered by strangers at a bar. like im too old to take tabs offered by strangers at a bar. not that im saying i did.

im too old to play truth or dare. because we all know truth is merely a front. that game is designed to dare everyone kiss everyone. strip poker on the other hand, is a different story.

im too old to steal someone else's boyfriend as my idea of fun. this usually gets you into a catfight in front of the whole school and tetanus shots later. yes, i learned this the hard way too.

im too old to lie to my mom. my remedy, i tell her anything. my argument, im old enough to get my ass whooped. but believe me, she might still do if i get too crazy.

and crazy , i do well.

as we get too old to do all the crazy sh*t we used to do, (and im not saying i did all that's written above. ehem ) im pretty confident im still too young to do other crazy sh*t.

and what are those crazy sh*t?

I guess I have to learn that the hard way. ;)
