How old're you, cuddlecat?

nrasser July 11 2011, 15:36:10 UTC

45. I have ceased to exist in the social world...well maybe except for greymuzzle coffee. :)

Well that's a damn shame, you still on AIM or whatnot? I'd love talking with you again.

33?! A mere child. Now get off my lawn! :)

... I realize one of the problems of posting my age woes here is that of my LiveJournal viewing friends I'm close to the youngest.

Want some mackeral ensure?

Meh. The way medical science is advancing, if you live 'til 80, you're going to live forever. So you're still relatively young.

I'll be lucky to see 50

I've never been big about celebrating my birthday, so this 30s thing is just meh for me anyway. I turned 34 last April. The one thing I DO like is that I've been in practice long enough (and have just enough gray hair) that people are really starting to take me seriously. That part's nice. I still get carded all over the place, too, which is cool in its own right.

The one thing that hits me as an 'age' problem is that a lot of the people I work with are in their 20s, and WOW is that a generational difference.

I've run into that. At 33 and being a pharmacist in my pharmacy, people actually sometimes listen to me and believe what I'm saying. But, I dunno, the majority of folks I hang out with on the rare times I do are 9+ years older than me and there's a gap there or like you said with 20-25 and there's a serious gap there. I dunno, it may not sound like much but I think the turning 33 thing is getting to me.

It's probably only getting to you because you're sort of inbetween the hip youngsters and the fortysomethings and fiftysomethings. It bothers me some, too. I'm still too young to side with the boomers, but I fucking hate facebook and twitter and My Little Pony. Our generation is defined, I think, by a lack of a solid central identity, and it really hits home when you're staring at a life you realize is now laid out before you. We've made our career choices, our choices of partners, and we're now after the holy grail of house/car/investments while beginning to suffer from shit like chronic disease. Not a happy place to be.

Personally, I'm just flipping the bird to all of it and enjoying the stuff I've decided I'm entitled to. A sports car? Fuck yes, and BEFORE I need viagra. ;) Find your favorite meat snack and go for it. Nobody can tell you 'no' anymore. ;)

Flipping The Bird partran July 11 2011, 05:22:17 UTC

Yeah that's where I feel. I was thinking today I felt like the middle child.

So I dunno, I feel a bit like I'm looking for something specific but have no damn clue what it is or if I know it when I see it.

Oh as for flipping the bird and getting what I want... have you seen my gallery on FurAffinity?
