Does anybody else feel like they were born in the wrong era?

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this time period. Everything moves at such a fast pace and I hate the way we dress. I appreciate the social progression that has been achieved globally but that's it.

I think you were born in the wrong timezone

Yes I would have liked to fight and die with honour in the battle field with the blood of a foreigner on my brow.

Lol that too

Yeah, I always thought I shoulda been born in the 1200s where I'd end up swinging a giant axe into hoards of enemy faces.

Toga's look really comfortable in fairness.

There are a lot of posters on boards who would be burned as heretics :eek:

creolebelle · 09-05-2014 06:14AM

kneemos · 09-05-2014 06:24AM

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this time period. So many things move at such a slow pace, I think we never actually left the dark ages.

You wouldn't be able to post on the internet either. What period would you want to live in?

Yes, but only about 10-15 years later than I feel I "should" have been born (I'd like to have been a late teen/20-something for the late 80s/early 90s).

Just for the music and club scene though, the economic situation would have been terrible.

No Pants · 09-05-2014 10:21AM

Things need to hurry up. We were supposed to be living on the moon by 1999.

failinis · 09-05-2014 10:29AM

I feel like I should have been born in the Victorian era. In England or mainland Europe. Preferable working in art - I think I just love the art of that time period so bias.

Yes, the poverty, the illness, the poor health care, smelly thames, the killer wallpaper, the work houses and all that, but if I was not female I would have loved to live in a middle class or higher time.

I have rose tinted glasses on, I am very aware of that, but the horses, the art, the craftmanship and general things like that, the suits and all that were very smart.
But I would have hated to be female then, I would trade gender.

Reiketsu · 09-05-2014 10:32AM

I wish people still dressed like they did in the 40s

Does anybody else feel like they were born in the wrong era?
