memories

[thedarkproject]

I don't like change. Too often it seems to be a way of obscuring the memories of things I hold dear. I see people renovating shops and demolishing buildings and changing roads and before long I forget what used to be there, and the things I did in that place.

And I often think life is moving along too fast. I was just thinking today about something I remembered so clearly that it seemed fairly recent, yet when I thought about it, it must have been at least 9 years ago. The same goes for some of the odder dreams I had, which are about 15 years old now. And stuff from 2 or 3 years ago may as well be yesterday, in many cases. It's strange how the mind works, but mainly I'm just worried that the years are just flying by and I don't have much to show for them.

Ben, your sounding a bit old and scary :P

[thedarkproject]

Em, I am old and scary. Didn't you know this yet? ;)

[distorted-rage.livejournal.com]

I just never realised you were *that* old and scary :P

[thedarkproject]

You know I can remember a couple of things from the 70s? Is that scary? :)

*cowers*

But grr, you were born at the right time, i always blamed my parents for having me too late and as a result i managed to miss *all* the decent bands. Or at least the original line ups on the classics.

[thedarkproject]

Maybe, but then I doubt half the bands you like really appealed to me when I was younger. (Or even now :P )

Yeah, but it's the drugs that meant you can't remember most of the 70's. It's that you can remember the 60's that scares people.
