How old are you?
 
Having been a lifelong fan of sci-fi and fantasy, I'm always filed with a sense of sadness when my buddies grow up on me. I've collected comics and toys since the age of 5 and growing older has only led to more expensive collecting like Master Replica lightsabers, Gentle Giant busts and statues, movie props, hard to find graphic novels / collected editions, toys from the 70s and 80s, and my new passions include novice level figure customizing and diorama building. I also enjoy table top RPGs like Pathfinder and am working on running a Cyberpunk/Palladium TMNT hybrid game for a local group of friends.

I work as a Psychiatric Nurse in Lethbridge Alberta, but at the age of 40 I sometimes wonder if I should have moved on from all this. Is this normal? or am I stuck in a life stage that should have ended by now?

So my question is... are there any other mid-lifers here? How old are y'all?

I'm 32, not only do I like nerd stuff, but I still go to cons and cosplay. You're never too old to do something you enjoy. (Unless you're hurting others anyway.)

Well I just turned 33 but I feel the same way, enjoy what you love to do as much as you can while you can, life is short.

I'm 29 and will be thirty in February. It's going to be a bit of a milestone for me, but I still enjoy having fun and watching cartoons. You're never too old to love that stuff. Remember, age is just a number and nothing more.

I'm old enough to be my daddy... or something like that.

I am 28 years old, the Turtles never escaped from my mind completely, because they were a part of my early life. Later, from time to time they were pushed into the background, but they returned !

I'm 33. I collect and play with all my geeky/nerdy things as much now, if not more than I did, as when I was younger.

Now that I have children they need a good role model right?

Zany Orange Dude 10-05-2012 11:04 AM

Is this the part where everyone says how old they feel even though they're in their 20's and 30's?

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't feel all that old.
