Birthday blues.

eternal

I've about a month left until my next birthday and I'm pretending I'm not getting any older. What should I do in the next month to delay the inevitable progression of times unnerving reality? I'm up for anything because eventually I'll be 'too old'.

The Backwards Man

Don't think about it. Seriously, don't think about what age you are. I haven't thought about what age I am since I was told enough to drink and I won't think about it again until I'm old enough to get my free bus pass.

It's my birthday today op, don't feel too bad. Mind I am only mid 20s so still feeling youthful.

Wear a nappy.

Depends how old you are going to be on your next birthday! For all we know you could be seven and dreading turning right?

Just do all , or some of the things you've wanted to do but have put off doing or been afraid to try . Just go and enjoy and have fun ! What is age but just a number, don't let it hold you back

You need to find a drug that effectively 'slows time down'. Try some 'Cake', maybe?

What is Cake? Well, it has an active ingredient which is a dangerous psychoactive compound known as dimesmeric andersonphosphate. It stimulates the part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon. And that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. So, a second feels like a month.

Be careful though. I heard about a Prague schoolboy who took some Cake and then walked out into the street straight in front of a tram. He thought he had a month to cross the street.

Oh for goodness sake, just carry on as usual. Age means nothing.

Birthdays are great.

Once I hit thirty, I stopped worrying about birthdays and my age. It's only a number, it means nothing.

What about when you start to look like **** and get wrinkles? And instead of guys checking you out they check you in.

Most lads will be losing their eyesight by that stage and certainly wouldn't notice in low lighting.

I think after 21 everyone stops looking forward to birthdays.

You should go 18.

I'm 30 in 3 months and I'm getting depressed thinking about it. Suppose the good thing is that most women I meet think I'm about 25 which is not always a good thing though.

Not so eternal now eh?

I don't look my age but how long will that last. I suppose it's different for women.

I'm 113 (33) next week OP so quit your bitching unless you can beat that.

As a wise man once said I'm too old for this ****.

Yeah - my last birthday (30 ) hit me hard. This wasn't supposed to happen. I'm still not happy about it, and even typing that number makes me very uneasy. 30 is for other people. I don't like it.

I'll be 31 in a couple of weeks and I still haven't come to terms with 30.

Cake: It's a made up drug.

@eternal no one's getting younger (except your man out of Spaced's cousin) showing my own age now!

I never dread birthdays. I think each one is a blessing (vomit) but really, I do. The alternative is what I find depressing!

Ah lordie , ye're all complaining about getting older and ye're only still young yet!!
Go out have fun, no such thing as wrinkles , only laughter lines and proof you've lived

It's not the years in your life it's the life in your years. I'm 38 and having more fun now than I did 20 yrs ago. I've a good mix of friends of all ages and we don't notice the age thing because we're all young at heart and too busy living to worry about it. Age is just a number.

My wrinkles are souvenirs of the good times.

Seriously Eternal, don't worry about it. I've seen a lot of young people buried so I now see each year as an achievement. Embrace life no matter what your date of birth is.

You've hit the nail on the head with your post tbh. Live your life and enjoy it all.

I say my wrinkles are signs I've lived , no botox here either

mordeith

Get the f**k over it. Jeez, talk about attention seeking ...

Ted_YNWA

I have to actually think how old I am now, & work it out.

Would you get botox? I was thinking of it when I hit 40.

catallus

Studies have shown that botox only stops the slide into the inevitable pit of despair for about 5 years.

Red Wine extends it for about ten

Nope and I'm 47 in a few months. I am who I am , wrinkles and all , but each to their own , can't give an opinion on it as I don't know tbh.

How would I frown at the kids if I had botox

I am sorry to say that there is no way anyone can slow down the rate at which you age.

However, if you have access to space travel, you could go to an area of higher gravitational potential. At such a location, your clock would tick slower than those on Earth. People on Earth would age at a faster rate with respect to you.

You may even come back to an Earth where humankind has vanished. You would then be the youngest person on Earth.

If you need the loan of a flux capacitor, just ask.

Happy Birthday!

As I always say, you may not always be happy about getting older, but it sure beats the alternative.

Rubberlegs

I'm 42 now, and I wouldn't trade it for being younger. I was so insecure about everything in my 20's, from how I looked to worrying about what other people thought of me. Now I don't give a sh1t about what people think, I am who I am, and fook em all . It's a good place to be.

I would have to agree there. Botox foreheads just look weird. It really cant ne good for you injecting neurotoxins into your skin either.

Read Hunter S Thompson on your birthday:
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

"sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll."

The same here. I was practically forced to have a 30th birthday party by family and friends, I was that disinterested. I just couldn't be bothered worrying about my age and occasionally I'll have to do a quick bit of mental arithmetic, just to check my age.
