An utter cop-out of a Sex and the City episode

I was informed today by PinkPolish that we were mentioned in another person's blog. At first when I heard this, I was excited! I mean, how often does someone take the time to comment on another person's work? But then, as I pulled up the webpage that we were mentioned on, I realized that we were being insulted. We are being bashed by a thirty-something folks.

And I quote:

this is a childish but cute blog ... i think we could be a bit more polished .. but it's a blog by two twenty-somethings ... ha! twenty somethings are like the gum on the bottom of my shoe .. my crappy-wannabe-fancy-shoe-that-i-thought-would-be-nicer-when-i-was-a-twentysomething-but-is-not-because-i'm-a-thirtysomething-making-n-o-mney

Now, I would like to respond:

How insightful Dr. Tracey. I'm sure Sherlock would have been very proud that you deduced such an intricate and carefully thought out analysis of our blog. Childish but cute? I hardly think anyone's personal life is childish. And may I take this time to point out the panda wallpaper on your blog? [http://twincitygals.blogspot.com/] [The one nice thing about the blog is the layout]

That is not a very nice generalization of twenty-somethings. We could come out and say, thirty-somethings are like a Walmart sandal that has been worn so often that a hole has appeared in the sole. That's not necessarily true is it? Perhaps she's just sour because gravity is no longer working in favour of her.

Being thirty is an interesting age isn't it? You have reached the point where you're kind of upset because you are no longer in your twenties but are learning to cope by going out and buying imitation Manolo Blahniks and trying to be "young" and "hip" by wearing jeans, which are not made for you [not everyone can wear low rise]; by applying entirely too much make-up to cover the fine lines which have started to appear on your face, and by trying to manipulate your vocabulary to simulate someone younger. Yeah, thirty, flirty, and thirving eh? I think not.

It's refreshing to see how cultured our elders are. I mean, insulting people that are different, making analogies with entirely way to many grammatical errors (ie. the hyphen).

Side note:
Grammar Lesson #1:
Hyphenating compound words

• Use a hyphen for most compound modifiers that precede the noun. Do not use a hyphen for most compound modifiers after the noun.
• ex. well-researched report; two-meter clearance
• ex. report it well researched; clearance of two metres
• Use a hyphen between compound nouns joining two units of measure
• ex. light-year, kilowatt-hour etc
• never use a hyphen when a compound modifier starts with an -ly adverb.
• ex. happily married couple
• Never use a hyphen when a compound modifier is in the comparative (-er, most, least) form.
• ex. better fitting; least welcome guest; most significant factor
• Never use a hyphen when a compound modifier is a foreign phrase.
• ex. post hoc fallacies
• Never use a hyphen with a possessive compound modifier.
• ex. a full week's work; eight hours's pay

But hey, at the end of the day, I'm glad that you wasted time reading our 'childish,' yet cute, blog. I'm sure you'll try to live vicariously through us. :)

Have a super day folks!
