I'm not old...

But I am beginning to feel aged.

Like cheese.

Or wine.

When I was younger, 30 seemed like an unreal number. Now 40 is knocking on the door. Ah, well. Beats the alternative. The alternative being of course that offer of eternal youth from that nice young man with the sparkly skin.

Seriously who wants to sparkle?

Novaquill made me an awesome birthday present.

If it would please you to make me happy as I contemplate my mortality, go to this image link and upvote and or favorite as you see fit. I'd like to see Flarity in their popular images box and I think this image is a wonderful one.

I will now return to my cave in which I write about ponies and their emotional issues.

Meh, from the sounds of it, I don't think you're that much older than I am. Soo... yeah. Woo! Old people appreciating peppy prismatic pronking ponies party!

As an aside, I think most of us would like to sparkle.

**Edit** It took me far longer than it should have to realize you were talking about that Book Series that Shall not be Named... in that reference... no. I would not like to sparkle. Too much angst.

"See, this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic mother####ers. Mother####ers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't.
Besides, Steel, how many more stories you think you got left in you? ... Two?"

4331979 Heh. I'll tell you how many more I have left when I finally finish the one I been writing for close to 5 years.

Happy birthday :D

40 really isn't that old. For reference; the average age of the Apollo astronauts was 40 years old.
Happy Birthday.
