elderly!?

[oneofaradia]

I'm reading a supernatural/buffy crossover that so far is pretty good. However, I just about choked on my coffee when a women in Sam's dream was described as "elderly, 40 at least" excuse me? But did I miss a memo, is 40 now considered elderly? I mean, I know I'm not 20 anymore, and my body definitely knows this, somethings I just don't recover

yeah, that would have garnered a spit take from me too.

i like how indiana jones put it-- it's not the years honey, its the mileage.

[oneofaradia]

Oh yeah! Love how Indy puts it. Plus that man definitely makes getting older sexy *grin*

Not much buffy yet, but the author has the brothers down pat.

ah, i'll bookmark it. I've just started reading 'tangled destinies' again. i'm hoping by the time i'm done we'll have an update target for the new chapter.

Funny, I don't FEEL elderly. Besides, I thought 40 was the new 30? XD

[oneofaradia]

So did I. Elderly my ass. In all honesty, I do more now than I did when I was in my 20's. I travel more, I go to more conventions, I have more outside friends. My 20's and 30's were spent having babies and taking care of children. At 48, I finally feel as though I'm coming into my own and that definitely isn't elderly.

Really?! WTF? Soooo...is it a teenager writing this?!

*Facepalm*

[oneofaradia]

I honestly don't know how old the author is, but can't be much more than a teen if they consider 40 to be elderly.
