I have a question for all my followers, or at least, the 6 or 7 who will read this: How old do you think I am?
I guess I’m asking this in three ways.
1) How old do you think I am in absolute terms?
2) How old do you think I seem?
3) How old would you say I was based solely on my blog, not including posts where I mention family and whatnot? In other words, just based on my random stories, romantic poetry, ridiculous poetry, and other nonsense and crap, how old would you think I was? What I mean is, in terms of age, what is a number that you would associate with the passage of earthly revolutions around the sun vis-a-vis my being alive, per se, if you’re one who walks the earth having perused this tomely bloggerel of a post repository, and have formulated an opinion thusly forthwith?
I am going to risk poisoning the well a little by guessing what some of you will say.
Nicole Marie: You’re old, dude.
GingerSnaap: You seem like you’re about 13.
Hellis: More like 12.
Sparklebumps: Um… old enough to be my dad, but a cool dad.
Sandy: Old enough?
PMAO: You’re only as old as you feel. And I’ve never felt you.
Guapo: Based on the music you listen to the most, I’d say you were 17. And Japanese. And a girl.
Hastywords: You’re an old soul, but a young outlook, and I’d follow you anywhere, unless I was busy.
Kayjai: Fuck if I know.
Bipolarmuse: I’ll answer you in a second – I’m busy at the moment kicking Life’s ass!
JulieBrowning: I hope you’re old enough to get me a drink. And what the hell – pour one for yourself!
Freechick: Hey, don’t get me involved in your little… oh, wait, this one is okay. Whew!
I won’t mangle anyone else’s impressions of me. Wait – if you have impressions of me, can you put them on YouTube? I’d like to see them. Anyway, anyone who reads this post can make a comment based on anything you see or guess or speculate about. Just write it down there. “Down there”. Heh heh.

Watch this while you think about it:
1. 87
2. 8
3. Somewhere in between 8 and 87
Cheating!
let’s go with 42
That’s the answer to everything.
wow, like the meaning of life??
And the universe, and everything.
Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space, listen…”
Rather.
That’s deep, man. I’m going to need some potatoes while I ponder that…
And a towel.
No, I was gonna say 12.
1.) Since I have studied your Blog, I think you are at least 42ish (based on something I read from last year) but not over 45. You are older than me and I find that amusing, grandpa.
2.) 12. I just said that- weren’t you listening?
3.) Before I had my educated guess of your ‘actual age’ based on something I read from last year( again, I just said that up there- pay attention, please), my uneducated guess would have been mid-thirties.
Or somewhere around 78ish, but I didn’t guess you a day over 72ish.
Why do you wanna know this?
Shits and giggles, self-check, curiousity, makes a nice post….
And a back door way to post links to the blogs of a lot of cool people…..
That was a goooood answer!
So, are you 42ish or are you, in fact, 78ish?
Or are you 43?
44?
45?
12?
I’m 80/20
1. I was going to say late thirties. 39 ish
2. 39 ish (You’re way too cynical to be a preteen.)
3. 39 ish
Also, it’s safe to assume your posts don’t show up in half your blog watcher’s readers. Don’t tell wordpress that though or some guy named Anthony will claim otherwise.
1,2,3, ok
Also… what?
“the 7 people who read your blog” reference
Actual age?
A girl never tells her age. Oh, I’ll tell you all after I get a few more answers.
It’s a lady… And apparently there’s a lot you’re not telling! No wonder you like flowers so much…
Right, lady, chick, dame, whatever. She no tell age.
55
For all three? Okay, interesting.
Well, since I actually have no idea… How old you SEEM to me is how old I’m going to guess you ARE… I imagine you being my husband’s age (hence 55)–so I’m really going to laugh if you’re in your twenties.
Well, since you already took my first answer, I’ll go with Old enough to be melancholy about your age. And feel mortal. And you’re a girl.
How do you know I’m a girl? Because I can’t stop playing with my breasts, that’s how.
I can hardly keep up with this blog, so my guess will be practically untainted by actual knowledge, so here goes:
1) 31
2) 13
3) will be 1 year on August 18, I think
But I put the listings in TV Guide!
I am either too young, too old, or too ignorant (or all of the above) to know what this means
I am sure it’s utter nonsense.
1) I can’t answer bacause I know the answer
2) and 3) I would say mid to late 20′s based on language. I am around teens constantly and I hear how they speak. It’s scary how good you’ve got that voice down when you make an effort. In fact the only reason I put late 20′s at all is because your poetry is too reflective for someone younger. How’s that?
Pretty good. The funny thing is that I’m virtually never around teens, thanks to the restraining or- um, I mean, look! A quarter!
1) 38 or 41…I can’t decide
2) 15
3) based on your blog…40′s definitely. You have a daughter around the same age as mine. Actually, I think your daughter is a year or two older than my eldest, but I think you are younger than me. Clear…and you’re right of course… Fuck if I know…I’m just guessin’ here.
You’re so close and yet so far
I’m so right and yet so completely wrong. Yeah. Probs.
If you’re wrong you don’t want to be right.
I always want to be right…just not when I’m wrong…I think. Wait…never mind.
Edward, I wish I would have thought to say that!-It’s much funnier than what I would have said myself–I thought you were my age, exactly my age. Like separated at birth twins, each being adopted by a very odd and dysfunctional family. All of this had to happen on 2/18/65 for my theory to work. I know it’s a long shot, but I thought it was worth a try
This is a good game for me because I can’t remember numbers, so if you ever said your real age, I can’t recall it.
I would say you were about 45…
Yet your writing shows the depth of experience of someone who is 62…
But you have the musical taste of a 20-something year old…
You like pictures of clouds, which like birdwatching makes you seem like you might be 91…
But you flirt shamelessly with all the girls like a 36 year old…
Your humor tend to lean towards the immature, occasionally reaching the level of a 13 year old…
But your grammar and spelling seem to be at a level of a 49 year old college professor…
You like puns, and nobody under the age of 48 likes those…
And sometimes you act like a spoiled 2 year old…
So, let’s see… mmmm… carry the 1… subtract the deficit… quantify the integers…
I have no idea how old you are, dude… You are freekin timeless…
Are you feelin’ me now???
That answer was more entertaining than my post!
I thought all of my answers were…
Ha… just kidding… those are valued words of praise indeed!
Young enough to still appreciate the 90s but old enough that you choose lime green as your background color (that E-Z Vision for tired eyes, like old people fluorescent playing cards).
ha ha! Ah, vision
As old as my Rockstar, but probably not as cute.
Probably.
