I'm so old ><

I was born in '79. Do the math. I joined EoFF on 3/2001, and pretty much haven't left. I wasn't always a regular, but w/e.

I think I came back recently because of the wedding business.

ANYWHO that's not the point of the thread. The point is that I'm sitting here, about to turn frigging TWENTY SEVEN years old, and it's freaking nuts.

Why is this happening? I dunwanna grow up I'm a toy-r-us kid :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2:

How are you coping with being old?

(apologies to people actually older than I am)

Heh, I just hit 2-8 last month, and it didn't bother me too much. I still feel like I'm in my mid-20s and enjoy life so I can't complain. I think "old age" is a mind set. As one of my wife's friends (who is 65) once put it, "Regardless of their number age, if they like to have a good time and are fun to be around, I consider them the same age as me. If they're immature, they're younger than me and if they are a boring stick in the mud then they are older than me."

Wait a second...

27 isn't old :confused:

Geez, you're gonna get me all depressed in a second. I'm 25 (and 3 months)... If you're old then what am I? :eek:

27 is young!

Age is just a number. Besides, we need the older people here to actualy keep this place new & alive.

I'm officially silver (if you get me). All of the cliches about getting older, it seems to me, are true.

As a kid, and even as a teenager, time was was like a trail of sap at just above freezing inching down a tree...

Now time is like- to quote Rocky's trainer Mickey: "Like greased lightnin'!"

I'm sure I'll be in my fifties by the time I can lay down my next post...

the thing about getting older, is you've lived longer, so the same period of time seems a lot shorter. When you've only lived 10 years, that next year is pretty long cause it equals 1/10 of your life so far. But when you get up to say 25, that next year is only 1/25 of your life so it seems shorter.

Personally, I just turned 20 a week ago, and I'm glad to be out of the teens.

When you're on a videogame message board, it's hard not to feel old. When I play online games I feel older than most people, but that's due to either a high pitched voice or the fact that 2/3 of the people I get matched against are complete assholes. And I'm only 18, so :p. Just have fun and enjoy what you do, and above all never grow up completely.

Most of my family is either 30+ or 15- there are only like 5 around my age, one cousin a year older, another 2 years older and 3 or so around 23-27, and 27 isnt that old, though I agree even at 19 playinhg online games like RO makes you feel like your ancient, since the age of players goes down fast, all of the people ive talked to on qRO (other then StarChild) are between 12 and 16.

Anyway, if you think 27 isn't old, I'm not sure what to think.

There was a time when I thought 25 was too old. I still think that.

But then I see that my sister and brother are going into junior high, and then I feel old.

I turn 25 in two months. But I get a 10 year allowance for having young children. :p
I try to be lighthearted about it. I joke with RSL about sending him BenGay for his bday, and sitting in rocking chairs and chasing kids off our lawn. And of course hubbie is turning 30 this month, so I tease him constantly.
I don't feel bad about aging anymore though, I like being an adult, and while I can't have the experiences of an 18-21 year old, I get to have different new ones....:)

Age gets me down, and it really shouldn't at age seventeen. I definitely feel much older than that, since I don't have the spirit and vigour of your average teen. I'm a miserable old git, really. :D

That sounds a little serious you should open up to some one about that. I wonder what is bothering you so much.

Im 18 almost 19 and I admitt I feel old at times but there is alot in life that I want to do yet that I havent done and that keeps me feeling young.

Man, you are old.

I was really depressed when I turned 20 because I enjoyed my teenage years muchly and I wailed on and on about getting old. But what comforted me was that no matter what, no matter how old I get, my boyfriend will always be older. Hee.

I'm 19 so I don't consider myself to be old.

My friends range from 17 to 26 roughly so I mix with a varied age group. I laugh at my 22 year old friend for being an old man. He complains about the youth of today.

Given advances in medical science and an ever-increasing average life expectancy, 27 is not as old as it used to be. I for one am happy to put as much distance as possible between myself and teenagerhood.

Yes, I'm only 25 or 26, I forget which at the moment.

Uh, the people who said that are right. You're in your twenties. You're not old. Period.

Youth-obssessed culture gets on my nerves. Even the people who have it act like they don't.

News flash! 20s=Teen years, 30s=20s, 40s=30s and so on. Why do you think a lot of people are having kids in their LATE 20s and 30s???

in your 20s have smurfing fun, man!

I'm turning 16 the 9th of September, yet I have the mentality of a 21 year old, which causes me to feel and act older than my 16+ year old friends at times ^^; It's both a blessing and a curse...more of a blessing in my eyes, though :)

But yeah, don't feel old! There's a whole lot of things you can do still before you DO turn old (which, to me, is when you hit 80) and still feel like a kid :)

There should be a law that you're not aloud to whine about being old until you're at least 30. And even then, only on Sundays until you turn 40.

Oh come now, 27 is not old. By average statistics, you have another 48 years ahead of you, perhaps more. However, I can relate to how time seems to ever increase its pae as you age, and I am only 18. It feels as if time seems to snowball, ever increasing its speed as you age. I never really thought of being heading to the grave so early, but it sometime feels as if I am... and I am only 18...

Well, until you're around 40, you aren't stuck with one foot in the grave. Once you hit 40, well, then you and I may actually have some warrent to the complaints and worries of time, for then, at that moment, it is basically established, save for rare cases, that you have one foot set firmly in your grave.

I'm 23 and really don't give a crap about how old i am. If i enjoy something (video games for example) and it makes me happy then i'm not worried. The people that make games are old and they love it still.

I will probably be playing games when i'm 50 ok maybe 35 but when i have kids i'm sure i will be playing with them.

Don't get yourself down because your in your 20's
