You're only as old as the men you feel.

Titania · November 19, 2013 10:20 pm

Being adult and "responsible" sometimes bore me to death....so when I feel it, I have the age I want

gently69 · November 20, 2013 8:42 am

That's a good point.

I try to practise it the same way.... when I adore Benedict for example ... or visit a concert... stand afterwards at the backstage door in the dark and cold and wait for ages... only to be absolutely delighted when someone special shows up, after 3 year break still knows you and welcomes you with hugs and kisses.

Should happen to me with Benedict someday as well. ha ha
But I think the chances are more than low. Especially because he's so popular now.

When people around look a bit pitiful at you, shaking heads, you probably feel younger than you are. ;-P

I love the use of the plural tonnaree!

Shazzykins · January 1, 2014 11:35 pm

Oh man. I will be 50 in July - I've just jumped up a whole 'nother age group. Aaaarrrrrgggggg!!

Yeah, we should definitely do a Male/Female poll too....I think there's a lot of girls in this fandom at the moment...Weird really because Sherlock Holmes used to be mainly for guys...I think it's the Benedict effect.
Mmmm, I think it's the Johnlock effect. Mmmmm.

I think it's the Johnlock effect, too.

I'm 18 ... looks like I'm part of the majority here

Hudders · January 8, 2014 8:32 am

I'm 33 - feel so old right now
Like my husband always says "You are too old for this Sherlock fangirl stuff" - lovely husband

gently69 · January 8, 2014 8:41 am

I'm older than you. And my husband says the same... They don't know what they are talking about.

Mattlocked · January 8, 2014 9:13 am

I'm older than Hudders, too, and hubby is somehow glad that I am not as boring as others of my age.

Hudders · January 8, 2014 9:22 am

Good to know. I think he'll just have to accept my behaviour. He will not be able to change that

SusiGo · January 8, 2014 9:24 am

I am older as well and my husband has kept quiet so far and bears his cross. I imagine he thinks as long as it makes me happy it is fine.

Oh, that's a point of course! As long as I am busy with clay and Sherlock and stuff I will not complain if he does what he likes.

I'll have to keep that in mind if he starts getting angry again. He'll have a lot of time doing his stuff without me asking what he does

I'll be 42 in March but still feel 15!
