I'm first?

Where would that leave those of us who are Boomers? :-)

Note to self: Get lawn. Practice yelling.

Hahahahaha. Yep, we are already Mils vs Xers. ALREADY doing that!

One entry down, two to go! I'm liking this extended deadline, G!

Hahahahahaha. Understood.

Still...enjoying this while it lasts.

I'm still bummed about the ending of what was otherwise one of my favorite seasons of Survivor.

I'm a Gen Xer, but at the end of the cusp, so I don't feel like I fit all of their "criteria".

Oh yeah- I went into the season knowing the winner was a woman! I was just hoping for Aubry. If you can imagine this- I really relate to the nerdy girls ;)

And yes- the reunion was drivel. You think they'd be making these better instead of worse. I think they hit the record for least cast members spoke to at the reunion.

I've been reading a lot of old posts and one interesting Idol-related thing:

After season 1 I was hanging out at a friend's house and plopped down on his couch. A couch that had the granite overhang of the kitchen counter right behind it.

I mention this because it was during that time period afterward - and before I was officially diagnosed as a concussion - was when I decided to set up this community and make LJ Idol into "a thing".

Yes, a blow to the head literally spurred on LJ Idol as we know it. That makes so much sense.

One cat vs all humans.

I have an idea for one entry and half an idea for another. I feel like I'm walking uphill backwards carrying water this week.

1,000 times yes. The prompts are great. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I liked it much better when we didn't have a choice of prompts (in seasons 6 and 7 for me) and had to write about one. The process of deciding which prompts to roll with is a little overwhelming for me.

I'll just keep pushing that rock up that hill in the meantime...

(or, perhaps, reaching for the grapes that always rise just out of reach)

Yeah, every week I would get nervous that surely somebody else was writing the same thing as I was and every week nobody did. Its awesome how that works!

I started a Home Game entry, though I also started one last week and ran out of time. ;) And got waylaid last night with an assignment for a 24-hour turnaround at a fanfic comm. So... I'm doing that instead.

I've lost track of what Millenial vs. Gen X means anymore. I'm a Boomer, so they all run together. Whippersnappers!

*high-five*

Yeah, I always think of myself as being at the tail end of the Boomer cycle, and it's true.

But I have more in common with them than Gen X. My sister, who was born in the very last year, is more like Gen X.

I've already lost track of exactly what Gen Y is supposed to be, unless we relabeled them Millennials.

Agreed.

I've always related more to boomers, but I just miss the deadline (1961)

I have a draft! I only have nascent, vague ideas about other stories, though sooooooo.... we'll see how this goes.

Nah. If we had more Millennial participants, surely there would be more whinging. :-D

After the next season was announced, my co-worker Inventory Queen determined that everyone who was working in our department today, from the 50-year-old to the 36-year-old are all Gen X'ers. Then the 20-year-old walked in. D'oh!

At least now I know what cultural generation I belong to.
