I'll be 48 on October 4 (I'm EXACTLY ten years younger than Susan Sarandon and EXACTLY twenty years older than Alicia Silverstone). And I still live three blocks from the hospital I was born in, in the house the family's lived in since 1961.

29. Sigh
I got a community centre calendar of classes and there were classes aimed at "pre-seniors"... age 40 to 55. I guess that makes me a peri-menopausal pre-senior... and I thought teenage hormones were a bitch.

More 57's than any other year. I'm burning too damn fast though, silver hair, store bought teeth, and can't take two steps witrhout falling on my face, but I'm a font of wisdom.
I can tell you how to get from point a to point d in the quickest possible way, why not to eat pizza after six in the evening. I can roll the best joints on the block, and my music collection is the best in town. Bring it on.

67. I'm not old enough for you people
since I'm only 44. :P

I like multiples of 11. Double 4s are fun. A 3 year old at a friend's house approached me Saturday night and said, and showed me on his fingers, "I'm fwee. How many are you?" I said, "I'm two 4's!" And showed him 4 fingers on each hand. Another friend across the room, my age, rolled her eyes and said, "You wish."

72. Will be 50 in December
December 16th is my half-century b'day. And like all good Sagittarians, I'm a walking social demographic, fitting right into the Boomer sensibilities.

(..except I love Evanescence and Nickleback and Franz Ferdinand. What's up?)

It's too weird that so many of our generation became yuppies in the 80s and thought they were Gordon Gekko. We're the ones who never sold out our principles. War was wrong then, and it ain't no righter now!!!

PS...if we're all gonna live to be over 100 years old, then 49 isn't even middle-aged yet, is it?
