When I post this, it'll be just past 7 in the morning in Belgium, and I'll officially be a quarter of a century old. I'll also be at least somewhat drunk, and most likely singing Hero of Canton. I have a habit of immersing myself in a new fandom mere days before my birthday. My last "big" birthday was when I turned twenty, and those of you who were around for that may remember that was when I got into popslash fandom.
I can't believe that was only five years ago. Of course, I also can't believe that was five years ago already, so there you go.
I am old*. (Hush, dammit. I have age issues. PARSLEY! </injoke>)
(* And looking through that tag's entries, I'm amused by the fact that some of the comments from people I don't even have friended anymore now have Firefly icons--guess life really is cyclical--and that some of them are from people I still/again have friended and ... did I mention that I've finally brought myself to drink some of the Maes Pils my parents brought over this summer? *tipsy* Also, from this entry:
I often feel like anmoment now, my alarm’s gonna go off and I'm gonna wake up in my bed at home, sixteen again, having to get ready for school, catch the bus, go to school, slack off for a few hours writing slash during boring lessons, pay attention in history or English, go home, rush through my homework, and settle down to watch TV or whatever
I still feel like this sometimes.)

I'll be joining you in being... old in a few weeks' time and it's... well, let's face it, it's hell. Do let me know how you dealt with it.

I remember when I first added you to my flist, and I thought you were SO MUCH OLDER than me, because you were like, out there. In the world. Doing stuff. I was...a junior in high school? Something like that.
Now, I'm all, "Wow, she's young!"

Heeee! You know, people keep doing that, thinking I'm older than I am when meeting me online. (People who first meet me offline tend to guess me younger.) It's kinda weird. And have we really known each other for that long? God, time flies on livejournal.
