Addict, one of the great things about the internet is how adults don't know if you're young or not....kids get to talk with equal voices.

But I would love to know how old the Barrow-Wight is, so I can appropriately gauge my amazment at the site....and some of the other mods, too. smilies/smile.gif

[Have a day]

I'm 14! lalala.... I hate being young...... thus I hang out with people twice my age

[Pallando B.C]

The Barrow Wight is in the United States Air Force, so he wouldn't be that young, and he wouldn't be that old.

[Merri]

Sixteen definitely isn't all it's cracked up to be smilies/rolleyes.gif.


But. Yeah. Silly Leisl singing Sixteen Going on Seventeen. I used to think that when I turned sixteen I would be able to dance around a gazebo just like her . . . crazy little kid . . .

Why is everybody looking at me like that?! smilies/biggrin.gif

[the phantom]

I know I'm not the oldest person here, but it looks like I'm the oldest person to post on this so far. I turned 20 last July, and I'm not really too pleased about it.

I don't feel like I'm 20, and I don't look it either. I feel like I've barely begun to live, and yet I'm already halfway to 40!! Scary!!

Topic: How old is everyone here?

Well, we're older than some and younger than others. smilies/wink.gif

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

I will not say my age. I think that the great thing about this site and any other ineternet site like this is that people don't know you. Age won't make others think you're inferior or underdeveloped. Nothing is based on how old you are, what you look like, your gender, etc. All that matters is what you write. I do not like this thread, but hey, everyone is at least a little bit curious sometimes. So, I will not say my age (oops, I think I might have mentioned it in another thread but oh well) but I will say this. I am not old but I am not young, I am in between at a significant age.

Hey, Willie, I read that thread and I know how old you are! You cannot hide it any longer...mwah ha ha ha. I wonder if this would be a good occasion for blackmail...hmmm...

Oh, you'll just have to guess my age. It shouldn't be too hard since, I mentioned it before, but I'm just curious what people would think my age is. :rolleyes:

[dragoneyes]

Nianna Telmnar is 18 (yes I actually got a calculator and worked it out) my dog's only 28, maybe 30 or 31, depending how far through the year we are. Did you know, just under two months is one dog year? Yeah, well this is a pretty useless post since I don't want to tell you my age, feel free to guess though.

I guess that Brinniel is... hmm... 17? Don't shout at me if I'm wrong!

[Neferchoirwen]

Hmmm...people say I act like a 14 year old, and look like one some times...but some say I have the wisdom of a grandmother (was even called "grandma" in chinese by people I've sort of mentored!)

But anyways, I'm 21. And a half...having your birthday in the middle of the year is very VERY confusing.

Being neither living nor dead, I don't reall y "age", but I will base how old I am on how long I have existed. Now, let's see... I was 36 when I was ensnared by the Ring, it's now the Seventh Age.... oh my! I must be at least 10,000 years old!

I am from the first generation of Tolkien lovers in the U.S., the college students with flowers in our hair, who fell in love with the book in the late 60s. As such, I am the senior statesman here. Let's just say I qualify along with Frodo and Bilbo and those hobbits who ran off on adventures at the magic age of 50.

Pension fund? Yes, that would be nice. But why can't I retire to Rivendell the way Master Bilbo did?

I am 15. That's pretty much it. Just 15. (If you'd like to know more, then just read the topic Tigerlily gave you the link to.) Other than that, let's just keep it at 15.

Well, well, well. I have to say I found those guesses on my age quite interesting.

I begin to wonder if I should actually give away my age (for those who do not know yet). Well, here's a hint: I was born on June 28 somewhere between 1980 and 1990. Though I don't think that hint will be very helpful. :rolleyes:

I doubt she bothered to find the average, as it took a long time. Probably just a guess.

And if it was just a guess, it was a most excellent one. There are 75 people exactly who stated their age in some easy way. (I didn't go to the linked topics). For a total age of 1432.

And the average age is.....19.09333!

Oh, and btw, I'm certainly not telling my age. Age brings judgement.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

*sniggers* Heh, I know how old you are Beren! Don't worry I won't tell... smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif

Nah seriously I won't. I suppose age can bring judgement, but who are they to judge you after they already know you? (I don't mean personally)

[Beren87]

Aye, that is true. But its more of an unconcious perception than anything else.

And I just noticed something. Isn't the title "Ghost Prince of Cardolan" rather sexist? lol

[alquadae]

50

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Hmm, I never thought of that, Beren. Were there Ghost Princesses of Cardolan?

I suppose they were just generalizing. In the Spanish language, if a group of people are all female, save for one male, the ending of the pronoun is still masculine, unless I am mistaken.

It was a very very good guess, wasnt it? 20 and 19.09!

I'm not sure if it was because I was bored. It could've been because I am a perfectionist and I have to get the exact age rather than just estimate it. Strange, since I normally hate math. I suppose I could've been bored, though. :rolleyes:

As for my age, I'll never tell! Well, at least not until my birthday comes and I can post an older age. Ha ha, that's not until June 28!
And for all who are that desperate to find my age, you'll just have to search the site. It's buried somewhere. Otherwise, you'll have to keep guessing. :p
