One thought before I fall into bed:

I don't think feeling a certain nostalgia for something from your youth like a video game or a song means you are any less creative or set in your ways as a, what do you call it, seasoned citizen, than it does when you are young.

I think what shows your intelligence and creativity at any age is your level of concern for the subject.  Are you into something, say, because everyone else is or because you heard about it though the grapevine, or are you interested through a genuine intellectual curiosity that has you digging where others dabble?

Do you like a particular musical group enough to have all their CDs, or just what you've heard on the radio?  Do you try to understand the theory of relativity and study up on it, or do you just take the paragraphs out of your grammar school textbook and call it good?  Why does this person like this old video game?  Because it is old?  Or does he really like the play better than a bloodbath shooter?  

There's more to it.  And wow, my subject moved.

See?  I knew you fellows would be interesting to talk to.

Oy.  I've got to get in bed.

Love hurts.

Hi.  New guy.

I just broke up with my girlfriend  :-/ after three years together and am about to start school at the University of Melbourne next year.

when did you first really know it was over in your last serious relationship?  For me, I guess it was when my sheila started saying she couldn't make our dates because she already had plans.  With Bart.  My roomie.
