I guess I am, secretly; I am 1978, close enough to hear the echo of my Granny laughing her ass off at Watergate every afternoon, but before those ostrich years of Reagan (for twelve republican years I shut off some part of my brain -- it was easy, I was an adolescent, and I’ve never been strong or responsible enough to handle the horror of that reality). In 1978, I was still watching everyone else with no sense of myself being watched."
• "I'm pretty much over my Intimidated Ostrich years at this point, but it all came flooding back in a second and I turned instantly into a huge weenie, relegating myself to the back room where I could sort out Verizon Wireless statements into month order in peace, without the weird man looking over my shoulder while reading his golf magazine."
