blamebramptonI'm trying to read and comment more on LJ in a bid to support everyone's mission to keep the LJ-based fandom going. I just had a quick skim through a commentary on part of Deathly Hallows and despite the writer raising loads of interesting and a few excellent points, I am now obsessed with one line, and I paraphrase: 'Rowling minimises our experience of the torture of this old man.'
The writer was talking about Xenophilius Lovegood. HE IS MY AGE OR A LITTLE OLDER OR POSSIBLY EVEN YOUNGER!!
I am so filled with righteous indignation! I ride hundreds of kilometres a month! I could do that a week if I didn't have to go to work! I have all my own teeth! In a fight with Snatchers I would probably go down because they are Wizards, but I would go down biting and they would seriously regret their life choices!
Bloody young people today! Where's someone Gen Y or younger so I can patronise them? I bet you can't do long division without electronic assistance! There! That'll show you! Bah!
Excuse me, I require a cup of tea and a good lie down.
*Exits, muttering.*

Date: 2014-01-04 11:10 am (UTC)I too have all my own teeth, and can get around without a cane.
I don't hang out on the porch with a cup of tea and the cat.
I think age is just a number. A lot of it is in your mind, and how you handle everyday life and being in the 'now.'
I too am trying to check in on my friends list more often.
*is there a mission to keep the Lj fanbase going?
I didn't know that.* I don't dress like someone who is 14, but, I do take care of myself. As I am sure all of us here do.
Your post was a welcome one, made me grin. :D
