I was perusing SGs of times past (that wasn't how it started, truth be told... had a dream involving the beautiful and worshipful Erin that started it all), trying to figure this whole browsing and tags thing. I noticed Nixon was thirtyish and had been tagged such. I clicked the tag. I was amazed at the number of "adult" SGs there were. Only two pages worth but considering this site was an alt/punk/goth site at its birth I was surprised there were still older, active girls, a few just recently being added to the browsing queue. The site has really evolved from its early days of Portland base.
And why does the list of thirty-somethings on the site interest me? I had a friend who got out of the punk underground scene at the ripe old age (as he called it) of twenty five; he has just hit the big 3-0. When was the last time you saw a Playmate over the age of twenty five (in my day I remember Playboy displaying a *gasp* thirty year old Playmate). It could be that the premise of this site, the alt-culture is purely defined by its teen-to-lower-twenty demographic.
The real reason is because I'm a few months shy of that turning point in a life. Thirty had always seemed to me the age of reason. It was the age where you become an adult and very much responsible for yourself and your actions. In the same vein, it was the age I set for myself that if I hadn't been published I was hanging up the keyboard. Though I am published, I still am not anywhere close to where I was supposed to be at thirty: my father was married with two children with a mortgage and making an amazing salary. Being I spent those years at the university I thought my path would be brighter than his ever was. Though I lack those fundamentals, those tenets of life I actually wanted out of life. Those fundamentals. Those fundamentals have changed haven't they? Again to the site, the mean age of an SG is heading towards the mid to upper twenties. Even with the waves of new, younger girls expoloring self-realization on an alt. porn/alternative site, the girls who truly defined it are now the age of matrons, older sisters holding experience that they themselves probably dismissed back in the days of teeny bopping. Beyond myself, I wonder if their ideals have changed from the youth of sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
And just a comment on my subconscious spending a night in the company with the lovely Erin... it is sad that it was more wonderful for the lack of sexual connontations and fulfilling for just depicting a boy and his girl. Longing for companionship is surely a earthbound Hell. So... as always...
(apologies to Erin for trapping her in my subconscious and attaining gratification holding her hand walking through a mall and having dinner with her and my family in a crappy restaurant. I didn't want to sound like a creepy perv or anything
Thanks for the false memories of dreams
