What “gay” things do you do now that you are an adult?

I rolled up my pant legs (and do often) on bad weather days so I don't get the bottoms wet.

I put up some new drapes and now the whole room looks fabulous.

Listening to certain types of music...when I was a kid it was pretty much all metal and rap, everything else was gay.

I speak for my husband - I caught him putting on some rubbers the other day for safe commuting.

at the age of 46 i have started to wear a hat in the winter

I feel much more comfortable holding a woman's purse whilst shopping.

<giggle> Bad images from that one, Linkat.

I wear baby cable cardigan sweaters. I haven't gotten myself to actually buying twin-sets. I find seaters and tanks or Ts separately.

Yeah, but Tori Amos is gay...

Ahem.


Just everything. I used to be cool -- a looooong time ago -- and now I'm not. I've reconnected with some old cool friends on FB and they're still cool and I'm all mommish and exclamation pointy and uncool. Ah well.

I now understand those who are fascinated by shoes and have a pair of them for every day of the week. I used to tease my female friends mercilessly for it but, against all odds, I now find myself in their camp.

Also, I now care about the design and general aesthetic of umbrellas. We recently entered the rainy season here and I've made a mental note (though I have yet to act on it) to buy a cool umbrella, with "cool" defined as a big one with a hook at the end, and which I can ostentatiously tuck under my arm or rest on my shoulder when it's not in use. As a kid I used to cringe in sympathy at other kids with silly umbrellas, but f*ck it all now: I WANT A FANCY UMBRELLA.

I love to sing "The Flower Duet". It was written as a duet for two sopranos. My nine year old daughter has asked me to stop doing that because it freaks her out.

I go to bed early if I'm getting up early the next morning, and I don't always go out Friday and Saturday nights (I would never be caught at home on a weekend in the old days).

Hah! Same here!

i eat natural yogurt

I actually think about whether that last piece of sausage-and-black-olive pizza will give me heartburn.

Not that I ever let a little heartburn stop me.

I actually like to stay in Friday and Saturday nights! Same when I was young - I'd never miss a Friday or Saturday night out.

I remember once in college, my roomate and I began partying a bit early on a Saturday night (or rather afternoon). It was about 7:00 and too early to get caught going out yet [another thing never be caught dead out before 10:00pm], so we sort of put the TV and put our feet up - unfortunately we both fell asleep. We woke at about 1:00am! We were so upset because now it was too late to go out as the clubs ended at 2:00. It was worst night of life in college because I missed another mindless Saturday night of partying and dancing!!

I now dress appropriately for the weather - no more thin, short coats or skirts that are cute but you freeze in. No more high heels in the rain. sigh. I was quite stupid at 17.

Yes, but it was fun.
