It must be around twenty years plus since I first heard the term Generation X. The time period is now clearly defined but it was not originally. I thought I was perhaps borderline Gen X, on the cusp so to speak, tenuously, pretty close, near enough.
I told R I was Gen X and he believed me and has for many many years.
But the internet is not always your friend. Today R looked up the year I was born and discovered that I am a baby boomer and not even close to being Gen X.
The shame I feel is beyond comprehension. Pass me a self sharpening Wiltshire from its scabbard.
Don't feel shame Andrew, you are who you are and that is it.
ReplyDeleteI don't really Cazzie. Not too badly adjusted to my age.
ReplyDeleteOf course you couldn't be classified Generation X!
ReplyDeleteMore Generation R18+
Yeah the baby boomer period is a long one though isn't it? I mean we're talking almost 20 years after the end of WW2 and what people were still going forth and multiplying because of the bloodshed and sadness of war??
ReplyDeleteI think I just scrape in as Gen X. Is R Gen X?
I've said the same thing about myself, but like you, I think I'm right on the edge.
ReplyDeleteR is certainly not Gen X Who Me. I liked older men when I was younger. I did not realise I would like younger men when I was older. I made me bed. I guess you are Gen X.
ReplyDeleteDaisy Jo, I think you are a little closer to the edge than I am..........just a little mind.
You're gay and lied about your age, Andrew I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteI may fess up about my age mid October Jahteh.
ReplyDeleteYou did not realise you'd like younger men when you were older? You've made ya bed! Poor, poor R ;(
ReplyDeleteAnd Who Me, he liked younger men when he was younger........and now when he and I are is older, he still does. He made his bed too.
ReplyDeleteI fell instantly insanely in love with a rosy cheeked blond boy on the No.8 tram one time.
ReplyDeleteHe was frighteningly beautiful and clearly 20 years younger than self.
I felt so Oscar Wilde.

A friend fell in love with a Wesley boy on a St Kilda Road tram many years ago. He described his beautiful eyes and long dark lashes. Mark Phillipoussis.
