I'm a 20 something'er. I know this because I can stand in a bar with a beer bottle in one hand, leaning in that way they do in beer commercials. This comes as quite a surprise, since I always assumed older people did that. Another shock, is when a new model or star hits the scene, I am almost invariably older than her/him. I always felt they would be older than me -- they always looked older. I mean, Drew Barrimore is a couple years younger than me I think, that just feels weird. But now I can actually hang out in bars. Not that I do, I pretty much hate them. I'm a Puritan with respect to some things, particularly alcohol and cigarettes. The only good thing is that I can get into clubs cheaper cause they assume I'll drink. But the bad side of that is you get all these drunken goofs cluttering up the floor. Last night (New Years eve 95/96) as I tempted to strain oxygen from the smoke laden atmosphere of Manray's this 60 year old drunk guy kept nearly falling over onto me and a bimbo is bouncing up and down, swinging her beer bottle about and spilling beer everywhere, eechh.

I prefer a cafe' where the worst one has to deal with is a super wired poet wanna-be.
