Today has brought with it a new type of discomfort as I realise once more I am getting older and older and older.
My dad came in and asked me if he and my mum could borrow a DVD to watch. This is disturbing for two reasons:
1.) They are my parents.
2.) They are old.
The fact they are borrowing films that I, a young person, enjoys freaks me the fuck out. I don't think I'd even mind if it was something that was aimed at a general audience, but they borrowed Pulp fucking Fiction.
I don't know what worries me more, that I'm becoming more like them, or that they're becoming more like me. They have their own LoveFilm account and I've watched a countless number of films with them in the past, I've even sat through Brokeback Mountain with them, but there's something about the fact they're borrowing my DVDs, DVDs that are cool and from my collection.
Of course this probably means that my DVDs not cool, and I've actually already hit middle-age and am well on the way to my inevitable doom. I need some way to stop this madness. I think from now on, I'll buy nothing but pornography.
And hope to God they don't ask to borrow that.

Solution: move out of your parents' house.
