I just realised that ... I think about half my friends page, probably more, is younger than I am. There was a time when I didn't know any slashers younger than I.

This random realisation brought to you by Caffeine, Inc and the letters B-O-R-E-D.

Yeah, well, I'm still ancient. *g*

I'm only nine months younger, you ho, so don't start.

But yeah, I'm starting to get that "crusty old lady" feeling myself, especially on realising that, when I started in fandom, a lot of the current crop were still in elementary school and didn't know what the Internet was. Um, eek.

I know, man. Remember when I was the baby?

I think it's cool as long as they stay smrt, but yeah, I have to admit it is weird feeling like the old lady at eighteen, man. (Of course some of that's because I've been in fandom for six years--oh *god* what happened to my life?)

At 24, I feel older most of the time. But the first fandom I was in (when I rejoined the fandom world) was West Wing. And every single person I talked to in the fandom was older. In fact, the person in the fandom I was closed to was nearly 40. So it always shocks me when I discover that there are people in the fandom who are, oh, 16-18.

I'm so used to being the baby of the (whatever one) fandom. But, that's the 'net for you.

Yo Melle, quit whining.

Thirty-two, babe. Thirty-fucking-two. And I'm relatively new to slash fandom, although I've been reading gay erotic/porn for years, and wrote slash long before I saw anyone else's.

And as for the Marquis de Sade, first read him in 6th grade, I was about 12. I found the damn book in my jr. high library(it was a collection of horror stories, and had a excerpt of "Justine" in it). So it's my jr. high's fault I'm a pervert, hee.

*pout* Does this mean I'm not allowed to have 10,000 of your babies? I'm legal!

<--for the record, started into the online fandom-stuff at age 12

::Snickers:: And I wonder if theres even any people who aren't on there who are making you feel a tad old. ::Attempts to look innocent, fails miserably::

Seriously tho Melle, don't worry. You're not offically Old until you're 40.
