LOL, that's a good one! I'm going to use that in about twenty years or so.

If memory serves correct, I think there are a couple others here (not sure of the number) who are around your age. I'm thirty years of age. I'm assuming the rest of our users are between ages 13-25. Again, I'm not sure. I only know a fraction of the people here.

Anyway, I usually come here to discuss anime/manga and other various subjects like current events, video games and music. Well, life in general through the eyes of an otaku. LOL. I say just wing it. That's what I did. I wasn't a user here until I was around 24 or so. I've been watching anime my entire life though. Voltron and Robotech is how I got my start.

I'm making that same assumption about age; just feel a little awkward, as time passes so will that feeling, thanks for the boost.

Well, I'm 36 and have been watching Anime and playing video games (although not so much of the latter much anymore) since I was a teenager. It doesn' matter, Imo, what your age is; so long as you do what you love and love what you do. Whether it's work, hobbies, or jus' fooling around; it's your life, live it however you want to. It's way too short to worry about particulars.

Agreed. Although, I didn't really feel too awkward about my age until I hit 29/30. I'll be 31 this July, so I'm kinda stepping up the age rank ladder. LOL. I guess the feeling will pass when I realize that I'm the only one concerned about my age.

Thirty-six? I thought you were only a year or two older than me. Maybe you told me once and I just forgot. LOL.

But, yeah. I agree with you. Do what you love and be happy that you're doing it! That's the whole point to living a good life, right? Well, I guess if you love committing crimes, that's a different subject.

Studies have begun to show older people that are fans of anime and things of the sort, like video games and such, now out number the amount of younger people who do. I don't know about this site, but it definitely isn't weird.

Good point; it is also an indication (of sorts) that more people are turning to alternatives to the crap offered on cable and general TV. We are still glued to the box but in ways not predicted by those census takers and pollers.

This is what life is all about: finding new things, meeting new people. I don't really get out much, but I do savor every experience, even if it is mundane.

Go on everyone, go on and live your lives to the fullest. D:
