As long as you can still thud everything's fine.

The thudding is the easy bit. It's the getting back up again...

True. I'm seriously thinking about living on my mattress on the floor-- less far to fall, fewer bruises, and I can just keep my oxygen tank and smelling salts real close at hand.

I am happy to see that most of the people here are my age or even older, it shows me that I am not strange or childish for being obsessed with a tv show.

Um, I'm 63. What does age have to do with anything? I gave up trying not to be strange ages (decades!) ago!

I just wonder sometimes if I shouldn't do other things at my age - apart from being obsessed about fictional characters. I think this is something you can do no matter what age you are but when it becomes the only thing you so, it might be a bit... weird. It just worries me that instead of talking to real people or going out I prefer to stay at home and cry over tv shows. I'm just not sure if this is healthy.

Nope, there's nothing wrong with you! As long as you're happy everything's fine.
After being out for a party I usually return at home with the thought: What a waste of time. I could have watched an episode of Sherlock instead.

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

I wonder the same thing sometimes, but in my case it's not so much that I prefer the television or the internet, it's just that it's becoming harder and harder to find any "real people" to do things with.  Maybe they're all at home watching tv and surfing the web?

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

I'm 21 and I'm still obsessed with tv shows and books It's healthy. Better to be obsessed with something interesting than something creepy!

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

How come there is no selection which says I feel like I'm in my 20's?

^Wouldn't all the over-20's just select that option then, though?

Sherlock Holmes had a great fall

Couldn't put John back together again

No.  Heaven forbid I should ever have to feel again as I did in my twenties.

But there is a thing someone once said to me that I have found to be fairly accurate:

  Inside every woman is a 17 year old girl who never ages.  And inside every man is a 14 year old boy.

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

My 67 year old Dad goes by that saying: "Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional."
And he really does try to live it, some of the jokes he cracks and his behaviour sometimes...hahaha.

^Now I'm thinking about Doctor Who... Seriously, Eleven acts like a five-year-old half the time  But that's a good thing, characters wouldn't be characters without their randomness

I think I'd take 38 again. I thought that was a really nice age.

It's a pretty good one.  I had a great decade from my mid-40s to 50s.  It just gets better and better, really.  My advice to the young is: take care of your body, you'll be delighted at how much fun 60 is.

I do think it's okay if you're healthy, have enough money to not have to worry much, and if you still have your marbles. Actually, if we have all three of those things, let's go for 100!

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

If I could choose an age again, I think I'd go for 12  Means I could act younger than I actually am without attracting too many weird looks, and I wouldn't want to go any younger  because then I wouldn't be able to do so much  And I wouldn't want to be any older because I'm still a minor so I don't know what it's like to be a grown-up yet
