How old will you be in 2007? (Please take the poll)

[Virgil]

I'll be 28 this year. Seems like such a nonsense age to be. Who turns 28? Nobody does that anymore.

Virgil, I've been meaning to tell you, when my dad was your age he seemed like he was becoming decrepit, always bemoaning his outrageously high number of years--but then he turned 50 a couple of years ago, and I've never seen him looking so youthful, vital, and healthy. It makes me think of Odysseus standing up to the challenge of Laodamas.

My dad, before the age of fifty:


My dad after 50:


Anyway, I can see the same thing happening in your case, Virgil. Look forward to 50!

Thanks Jean-B. I feel youthful, vital, and healthy now. It's the realization that most of the years are actually behind you rather than ahead of you. It's sort of like a Kirkenkard fear of life coming to an end.

[Idril]

Oh, you will turn 40. That was a very hard for me. It paralized me when I turned it.

You are not helping.

[outrageous]

im turning 20 this year :S:S:S

[Poetess]

I`m turning 20 the coming July..
Growing old eh? x(

[brainstrain]

Oh, i've already turned my age for this year...but in a mere 4 months + the rest of december I will be a wizened 16...

Me? 16? I would never have imagined myself so old. As a toddler, even 12 seemed so gargantuan (pardon my spelling heh)

I'll be getting a driver's license (the youngest in my family, my two sisters both waited till 17 mwaha!) too, and my main birthday present would be not having to pay for the insurance.

Seeing how much I've acheived this past Fall Semester, I dare to have high hopes for the Spring. Who knows what the sweet sixteen will bring for me?

Happy Holidays to everyone!

[Schokokeks]

Hey, I move up an age bracket this year!

Me tooo ! I'll be twenty in March, and I am very very satisfied and happy about my age . Twenty has always been my lucky number .

You are not helping.

Oh, dear Idril, don't worry, you're such a sweetheart, and since you've been like that for almost fourty years now, it is very unlikely you will stop at a random date !

[Niamh]

Twenty was such an odd age. I felt like i was in limbo. Not quite a teenager anymore, but not yet twentyone Twenty first birthdays are one of the most important in Ireland, celebrated more than Eighteenths. Dont know why its still important though because you are legally able to do everything at Eighteen now unlike in the past when you had to be twentyone to vote. think thats were the tradition started. After all its only a tradition now!

[Jay]

Not changing my bracket just yet.

[Nightshade]

Im changing my bracket but isnt this thread a little early?
IM GOING TO BE 20!!

[ClaesGefvenberg]

How old will you be in 2007?

I'll be 48, and I note that I am heading the field so far, with Virgil as a close second...

It is now 23:45 here, so I'll be 47 in a quarter of an hour... Yes, I was born on Christmas Day 1959.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ClaesGefvenberg!!!!

[Madhuri]

Claes, it seems the whole world celebrates your b'day..

[JaneEyre1986]

I'll be 21 in July. And no, I'm not going to drink.

[Anthony Furze]

At 50 in 2006, must make me one of the oldest.

Dont feel 50 though, being around school children helps to keep the child alive.

[Lily Adams]

I'll be fifteen in May.
