forever young

[roxy]

I can't imagine how the people of my youth have aged. I can't believe I'm aged. It's always a horrible shock complete surprise to see the little gray-haired old lady in the mirror. Young folks roll their eyes at us old people and hiss 'act your age', but we're just acting how we feel inside.

Since I can't seem to write, I've been cleaning up some of my old stories with an eye to posting them at my pretty DW. It's...interesting, ha! Anyway, I'm having fun doing that, at least. I've been dreaming about NTM, but not in any kind of productive way. It's all murky, twisted, and incomprehensible...just the direction the story is taking. *giant pout*

Snort. I was just thinking something along these lines today. I was wondering if I'll still be in fandom when I'm 60. I guess that's kind of a long time away, but I can tell you now, I have a hard time relating to my childhood friends, who seem to be popping out the babies right now. Whaaat? And every time I go to Pac Sun to buy my clothes, I feel like a perv among all the 14 year-old girls.

I'm 45 which makes me older in fandom too. :) I have a five yr. old and he reminds me all the time that things don't get less fun becasue you get older - so hide me some Easter eggs already! The mirror is often a surprise - I don't feel that much different and I plan on enjoying things and letting people look at me funny if they want!

oh yeah, the me in my mind's eye has brown hair and nice, tight skin (i.e., no wattle *g*). it really is a shock to see myself!

That mirror thing is kind of sucky sometimes. Even as crappy as I feel sometimes, being over fifty seems like just an arbitrary (and completely inaccurate) number. *grin*

Age has never mattered to me. My mom is 66 and we have so much fun together and she definitely crushes on younger actors (to her anyways... Johnny Depp, beware if she ever meets you lol). If there are two male leads in a show/movies, we usually fight over who's better and not often agree. hehe

And my best friend is 20 years older than me but she definitely doesn't act it either. She's such a bad influence on me. *grins*

So I love it when "older" people act young and have fun. :D

I can't believe I'm aged

Bah! Don't say "aged". Aged makes you sound like someone gumming mush and watching "Father Dowling Mysteries." It is about how you feel inside. It's like that segment in "The Twilight Zone Movie" with the older folks turning into kids. Just minus the falling helicopters. You're still young yet, roxymisssrose!

I am so with you on the feeling way, way, WAY younger than that lie in the mirror!

Its only the age of the spirit not the body that counts! So you are definitely young! "Big Hug".

Gosh, don't I know it, beloved!

If only my body could keep up with my mental age now!

:P

*snuggles you*

Dude, i so know the feeling. I may *look* my age - and i do, i don't mind - but inside, i'm eighteen. Crazy crazy.
*twirls you*

Being blocked is so annoying. Bah!

What happened to my days of buying Tiger Beat and 16 magazine?? I cannot tell you how relieved I feel these days when I find out my latest celeb crush is at least over 30!! LOL (And yeah, I play with LEGOs. SUE ME!! *chases kids off her lawn*)

Me, I still mostly feel like I did when I was 16, but I was kind of an old 16. :) Don't have the energy or the metabolism (God, to be able to make rib places regret "All you can eat" night again), but mentally, 16 inside.

My mom's in her 50s, and she was running me into the ground a week after her thoracoscopy. Bring 40 on!
