Ok, we are now all old farts...but 'fess up

[Jaron]

I'm 35 now!

Just for the record, when Languish was new and I was the terror of the forums (at least in my own mind) I was 23.

The entire neighborhood is is reaching the end of its generational life cycle.  Kinda weird to look at it that way.  But Languish is too.

That's because we tried our hardest to run off anyone new.

31.

So we don't have much new blood...so as weird as it is to think about as Languish members die off in the next 20-30 years our community will truly be dead. I somehow thought of Languish as something that'd always be here. But we've always been a community of people. There isn't any kind of idea or topic here to draw new people in. We're just old acquaintances and friends who've used this as our medium to stay in touch.

Remind me, what was your original user name on the previous incarnations of the forum? "Jaron" doesn't ring a bell.

28. I'm amazed that I'm the youngest so far.

I took a road trip yesterday to the neighborhood I grew up in--my childhood best friend is a new first-time Daddy and visiting his father at the old house; they're starting to pack him up so he could move in with them.

Most interesting thing about the old neighborhood is there are no children.  All the children we grew up with, grew up and moved off;  most of the homeowners stayed and got old.  Those that turned over homes turned them over to other childless adults.

Nah. You are just 44. DGuller can post the actuarial tables, but odds are we have decades of going back and forth over the same old shit. 

Also, there is a new generation of languishites coming up. I think one of the youngsters is even named Tim, which will be a great replacement for our own Tim once his students rise up and massacre him for teaching them the deeply flawed version of english he knows.

39, turning 40 next month.

It sometimes depresses me that I can officially call myself "middle aged", but I have to remind myself I'm still pretty much on track with the vague life goals I had.

The neighborhood I grew up in was already like that 40 years ago..  My brother and I, and a few kids 2-5 years older than me, were the only children living in the neighborhood when I was a kid.  By the time I was a senior in high school, I think my brother and I were the only people living there who under 50.

Not sure which one is more depressing. 

[Jaron]

Maybe we'll all be reincarnated and can do it all over again.

I think you just defined hell.

Well, if Cloud Atlas is correct, in one transmigration or another I'll get to fuck Halle Berry.  SOLD.
