How old are you?

arkangel · 10-05-2012, 01:21 AM

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.

Baby Jester is only 28. Goo-goo gah-gah.

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.

*Master Splinter* · 10-05-2012, 10:18 AM

I am 28 years and 295 days old.

*gobo* · 10-05-2012, 10:39 AM

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

*Mzx10484* · 10-05-2012, 10:59 AM

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

I'm 17.

*Zulithe* · 10-05-2012, 11:05 AM

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

Wow.. same here. I didn't even realize it.

*Cure* · 10-06-2012, 01:23 AM

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

Lampy · 10-06-2012, 01:33 AM

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