Middle-aged white guy. Sterotypically disgruntled too...

Your power is weak, old man.

I expect the 30s to dominate.

It's shocking how in modern day some people can still feign such insensitive ignorance at the existence of other options

...myself included, obviously

lroumen

Getting too old for this hit

Rik_Kirtaniya

So many adults here...

I turned 60 last month and my friend thoroughly enjoyed herself, taking the p*ss out of me all day long, until I pointed out that she would hit retirement age and officially become an OAP before me.

Justice is best served ice-cold

Miserable day, it is. I think I got Sune's Horizontal Dancing Disease.

Raduziel

30.

My body feels like 20.

My mind feels like 80.

I guess one could be ageless.

I look like I'm in my 30's because I've lost my hair (well, most of it; I'm waiting for the rest to go), and I probably seem like I'm in my 30's because I'm pretty mellow, but I'm not quite there yet. Sometimes I feel really old, and then I think of my actual age and realize I'm not.

I have those realizations a lot. I think I'm messy, and then I see other people's homes. I think I'm bald, and then I look at my dad. I think I have too much body hair, and then I look at your mom.

29 years old hafling here!

kanisatha

Haha, look at all you young 'uns who don't know anything!

Honestly thought there'd be more people in the older brackets given that this is IE games central.

Happy birthday to me.

semiticgoddess

@smeagolheart: Happy 44th-50th birthday!

Skatan

Turning 38 soon and still a level 0 Commoner. Is it to late to become an adventurer? My mind is racing for adventures, my heart is throbbing for adrenaline and my knees are aching for arrows!

lroumen

Are you also one of those 9-9-9-9-9-9 types?

ThacoBell

Just turned 29 a couple months ago. I already have a bad back and hate all the new slang without reason.

semiticgoddess

What's this new slang? I've not heard of it.

Hey, did no one notice my "yo mama" joke?

lroumen

I don't get it

I did. I found it quite daring

I probably have the physical and mental possibilities to do it, though I sincerely and very obviously lack initiative and bravery! I've also always been intensively afraid of dying. Not death itself, but the actual moment of dying. I remember when I sat at the bedside when my grandmother died, watcher her wither away, while her never-healing wounds festered and the putrid smell of dead, rotten flesh filled the room. She had lost the ability to speak after an anerism (sp?) and after being treated as a child for many years in elderly care, she decided to kill herself the only way she could - by starving herself to death by refusing to eat. Captive in her own broken shell, I sat and watch her slowly die and death become something so releasing for her, but those agonizing weeks it took became my worst possible nightmare.

semiticgoddess

Okay, I understand the slang thing now. It was referring to slang in general. 9-9-9-9-9-9 wasn't some new slang; it's a reference to a character with 9 Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

I'm so sorry to hear that, @Skatan. It's disturbing enough to contemplate that happening to a stranger, much less one's own family.

I believe @iroumen responded to my comment about being a commoner, hence the straight 9's.

And thanks @semiticgod and apologies for the gloom and doom. I don't know why I wrote that, that memory just popped up when I thought about death and it didn't really fit into the thread's topic. Sorry for going OT. It's weird how some memories just burn themselves into your memory, how you can recall scents, sounds etc many years after but you can't even remember what you are for lunch yesterday. That's one such memory.
