The Most Bizarre Evidence To Date that I am OLD

I read randomly today that Patrick Swayze (he of big hair, Dirty Dancing, “nobody puts baby in a corner” fame) is 53 years old.

Holy mother of all that is cheesy--How can one of the stars of Red Dawn be in his 50's?

Can you believe it? Patrick Swayze is 53. That means I must be at least...um..at least...oh dear god.

I am old enough to have had “Time of My Life” as a prom song.

I sure did. Boyfriend picked me up in his GT. Got my hair waaay big for the evening; all permed and feathered and with totally wicked awesome bangs. Was workin' the aqua eyeshadow with my sequiny dress and his (que claro) matching cummerbund. I danced to Paula Abdul like she was goin' out of style. Oh, I guess she WAS.

Then had to go home by 1am because I was the only girl in the history of my high school to have a curfew on prom night: "Ohmigod I so totally hate you Dad!! I am, like, so totally the biggest loser in my entire school! Everyone else is getting a hotel at the beach and I have to come home?!"

My dad's response was: "that is precisely why you have to come home."

Thank goodness for dads who don't mind being hated... :)

Obviously, the story you read is wrong. He is clearly NOT 53. He is obviously still 23. Is there no journalistic integrity anymore?

Paula Abdul? People danced to her?
