How old will you be in 2011? (Please take the poll)

[Scheherazade]

Yes, it is that time of the year again! Shopping, gift-exchaning, over-eating and... getting older!

Take a deep breath and tell us how old you will be in 2011!

[nida]

i think i can open my age

[arrytus]

either the majority of this forum is young than i expected, or only the younger ones are inclined to participate in polls...

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Take a deep breath and tell us how old you will be in 2010!I already did.... (51), but I assume you are talking about 2011, :brow: so I'll add one year: 52.


either the majority of this forum is young than i expected, Oh, they ar... I mean we are, we are. :smilewinkgrin:

/ClaesObviously I have trouble keeping up with the times!

:goof:

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Obviously I have trouble keeping up with the times!Oh, I can live with that, as you managed to restrain yourself from posting this thread before the end of the year (and my birthday) this year.

P.s: I do feel so lonely in my bracket this year. Where is Virgil when you need him?

Is it possible that we have no members in certain age groups? Like 45-49 and 55-59?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

25.

I'm curious as to who the 10-14 agers are.

[Maximilianus]

I'll be 37. I hope that 7 brings me better luck this year :rolleyes:


I'm curious as to who the 10-14 agers are.
Bajerox is 11 and Heathcliff is 14. I'm not aware of others at the moment.

[farnoosh]

19.

[OfHighInterest]

16. It's only been in the last year or so I have become interested in literature.

To those who wonder about ages; you can click the numbers of votes given to one option to see what everyone has voted. Call it spying ;)

I turn 17 this year and I've only become interested in literature in the past year aswell.

I look forward to it too :)

[Gift Boxes]

It is a creative fount of mine that I have unfortunately neglected for far too long.

[Ancasta]

I'll be 27 this year! I'm excited to get closer and closer to 30!!

[Paulclem]

No - I'll be 48 in December. By that time I'll have forgotten how old I am again.

[BSED90]

I will be 21 this year. :) September 14th!

[Amit Shrivastav]

i will be 26 on this july 2011...

i really miss my past 25 years...it is possible to get it back!

[jmnixon95]

15-19; I will be turning seventeen years old, specifically. However, for most of the year I will be sixteen.

[Oniw17]

I'll be 21 in October, and 17 for the rest of my life.

[jlb4tlb]

56 years on this earth as of 9/11/11.

Me thinks that the poll has been invaded by the younger members of the group or I am just alot older then most here. Sigh!

[Kant]

Well, I'm 24 for the first 11 months of the year and then I turn 25.

[Ravager]

I'll be 25 in mid-July this year.

[Saladin]

25 - with other words i am also "graduating" to the next group. Yey! :)

[Calidore]

I'm doing the Jack Benny thing and staying at 39. This year was my sixth anniversary at that spot.

[Tournesol]

It's funny how we 'celebrate' being 20, or being 21, or 30; when really all we're 'celebrating' is actually completing the 20th, or 21st, or 30th year of life.

This year, when I 'turn' 30, I'll be starting my 31st year of life...

[Pensive]

Funny how time passes so quickly. Or maybe not so funny. Oh well... :D
Wouldn't be long before I would be shifting to a new age-bracket!

[emerald_13]

This year is my first 29-and-holding year....so that makes me 30

[Sydnie]

Oh Wow! It seems like everybody here is very young. I hope that you won't take my age as being ancient! I'm going to be 78 this year! Old are the hills but I still feel young so I'll see what I can do here. I do hope my age won'te interfere with my writing?

[country doctor]

the doc will still be young enough to roar...and isn't that all that matters?

ROAR!

[country doctor]

the roar has never needed to be restored, introduction chatters...the doc's vocal chords have never been impaired...

ROAR!

Completed 22 years on this world this Saturday!

[Abookinthebath]

There is probably room for some sort of quote here, like 'you are only as old as the woman you feel' etc!

Perhaps there should be a separate poll for how old you actually feel!

[Olga4real]

I don't like my birthdays any more - it's a good title for a poem, isn't it?

[csenora]

I think its more important to stop saying is I should, or I have to, too many of lifes pressures are self inflicted by our own ability to see we do have choices,

[irinmisfit92]

I don't know whether I'm exactly allowed to ask this personal question here, however I think most of the people I've come across in this forum are at least 20 years old. I don't really find a lot of people who love literature; even my literature class is full of people who don't really read that much, so I was thinking that it may be because I'm around 19 and people around here in Singapore (the country I'm living in) and Indonesia (the country I'm from) generally don't read as much English literature books as I do.

So far I've only found like around 2-3 people whom I can really talk to about literature anytime anywhere. Sometimes it kills me because I can't discuss books that are not widely read with them.

It'll be interesting to know the age range of the people who're active here and who are really passionate in reading and finding out more about literature.

[Jack of Hearts]

This poster is 22.

It's hard being a teenager. And it's hard being a teenager who's a little ahead of the curve like that- at it's best, literature is subtle and refined, presumably beyond the blooming faculties of your peers. Maybe they get there some day, but this reader remembers almost feeling like he'd read the book backwards. The natural order of things would seem to be that a person ends at literature/philosophy/culture, not start there.

But your people will come along, so hang in there. Maybe a bit too far between for your liking, but when they do you'll know to hang on to them. Conversely, empathy is an artform; this may not be a problem for you but one of the lessons this reader would say he's learned is to accept people on their own terms, instead of as either falling short of your standards in whether or not they should like literature, or understand it, or have a certain 'degree of intelligence.' Personally, that was a harsh lesson to take- maybe the one that stings the most.

This is a very difficult question to answer since I stopped being age old some decades ago!

I am not being of any age in 2012, as I had not been of any other in previous years.

So the best way to describe it is too old to be young and too young to be old. Always keeping the meaning of the words young and old open to new definitions!

[KCurtis]

Okay, I took the poll. I feel old, very very old compared to most of you. :nopity: I am actually 54, physically I am in very good shape, and I weigh less than I did in my 30's. Sometimes I forget how old I am until I look in the mirror, then I scream.:eek6:
But I don't have grey hair and I like Eminem, so there.
