I spent a good part of my lower 20s kind of being angsty.  I think more or less high school left a sour taste in my mouth and I strove to find an identity.  Nowadays, I really enjoy who I am and have chilled out a lot. I'm 32 (soon to be 33) and if I'm mad at something there is usually a good reason behind it.

I'm still a kid at heart though.  I love video games, board games, action figures, etc.

The fire still burns . . . but my doctor gave me a shot of penicillin to clear that up . . .

I'll be 17 next month, so I don't know if I can answer this in the sense you guys do.  But I do know that I've changed in the last two years.  I've almost stopped playing video games for one.  My little brother is an avid gamer, but I honestly am quite bored when I play games.  Every once in a while I'll pull out our old PS2 and play a few rounds of Crazy Taxi, or maybe play a small computer game sometime.  But definitely not on a regular basis.

As for movies, I think I've matured in my taste.  While I do love 50s b-grade *insert dreamy sigh here* I'll watch things kids my age won't touch.  (Not that they'd watch a 50s b-grade film anyway Lookingup ).  I'm watching Citizen Kane or Rear Window or even Brazil and their watching Transformers 2.

As for if the fire's still burning, I think it just got started. TeddyR

Of course the fire's still burning.  In the last two years, I've leaped into a new life, at the age of 44 no less. Now that I'm zipping towards 47, I feel more alive than I have most of my life. I have friends, I have love, I have a PS3, I have a crapload of movies and I have so many things I want to do and try that I have trouble sticking to one thing.

And I want so terribly to eat sweetened cereal, but I have to make room for the burgers and pizza. Plus, I tend to pile on the pounds rather quickly if I don't at least make the effort to keep things under control. But my mind and my spirit are thinner and more energetic than I have ever known.  I hope to hell I never grow up.

I'm 36 and more often than not, I'd say I'm still somewhat angst ridden. It doesn't help when I see the world changing all around me and the tastes and culture seems so watered down and stupefied these days. Everything seems to be about immediate gratification and I tend to enjoy something that takes its time and builds up to a climax slowly, eventually knocking you out of your socks when it finally hits.

All this new, new, new. Must have, must buy, consume, consume, consume. Hello I've got my own mind.

Ads are everywhere, the world looks more and more like some soulless dystopian nightmare, kind of a mix of 1984 filtered through parts of Blade Runner, They Live, RoboCop and A Clockwork Orange but a whole lot less colorful than any of 'em.

I will turn 19 for the 36th time in April.  Although, I 'm not as obnoxious as I was the first time.

I will agree with you there, yes.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
