Writer's Block: Teen Time Machine

If you could be a teenager living in any decade, which one would you choose?

This is a really easy one for me. I'd time it so that I came to be an "adult" late in the summer of love. I have always felt that I was born in the wrong era. If I could have my way, I'd dress like a "hippy" now. (To the extent that I can, I do already.) I've also always been very sympathetic (though not without my criticisms) to the general politics of the time/group. Of course, pot does nasty things to me so not sure how that part would work out.

If it wasn't for how horridly women (and lower classes) were treated in the Victorian era, that would be my time as I just love the formality and style and grace of the time.

The forality, style, and grace unfortunately were often used as the reasons to treat women/lower classes [one and the same back then] poorly. Shame though, because the clothes were great too.

Though, to be honest, some of that treatment persists today, but without the grace and style which makes it that much more unpalatable. Erg.

I don't know that I'd like to be a teenager in the past...esp since I'd have been married off with a ton of kids more than likely...but it'd be interesting to be a teenager of the future perhaps. :D I would amend that if I could live in the past of say...Anne of Green Gables. :D
