Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Fun with Polls So... how old are we?

I stopped counting around 40 - I don't feel around 40, still feel around 29. Or even younger, Stuart tells me quite often - to the extent that when someone asks me how old I am I have to do the same as ML. "Um...let's think...'61...'71..."

I'm somewhere between 20 and...82. What? It's not *that* long until it happens... turning yet another year in two weeks. Oy...

33 and hanging onto it for the next month. I remember when I started teaching that I would laugh at my 14 year old students when they called me mom ("Yeah, right, if I had you when I was 10!") Ughh...now I really could be!

I occassionally google myself to see if my students are writing nasty things about me on myspace. I used my real name in my fanfic, but my name is so common that it's almost more impersonal than my nick (googling Susan Young didn't get any fanfic hits, but googling groobie found one of my stories, plus a post to my favorite band's message board). According to google, I could be a motivational speaker, a doctor, a professor of economics, or an "actress" who's greatest claim to fame is her role in "Porn in the USA".

I googled myself and found a nurse who does therapeutic massage. I thought that was really funny (and just a tad bit scary) because I'm a nurse, too. I just don't do the massage... Haha!! To top that off, she lives less than 150 miles away from me! Ouch!

I've never googled myself, but I went out last month with a co-worker who told me that he had googled my name. He said he found mention of me in some boring on-line medical publications (several years ago I built a cancer reporting program that's still in use). I was thrilled to be mentioned in the journals but really creeped out that he was googling me (it was all in the way he told me about it). Needless to say, we haven't had a second date. It just seemed so... invasive, you know?

Now I'm *really* glad I use a pen name to write under. I used to use my maiden name but now I just use the initial "S". I would freak twice and die if anyone I worked with knew what I write about in my spare time.

Heh. I turned eightee- *coughhacksnorthackhackcough* thirteen. Yeah. I turned thirteen this summer. Yep, yep. What do you mean with 'I'm in denial'?! I'm not eighteen! That would mean that I'm an adult. And I'm not! Nope, nope, nope...

Urm. I Google EVERYONE. Especially anyone I might be considering dating!

Not that I'd bring it up on a first date.

I'm 23, and I've been Googled before too, but hadn't even thought of the possibility of coming up on a Google search at all before that time. Although it makes sense, considering I've been active in two other fandoms before this and had multiple websites that I never updated after the first few months.

I'll come up if you Google me. :p

I did a lot of volunteer work in college, and you'll find my website by typing in my name. My biggest fear is that my closet fanfic addiction will come up one of these days LOL, but so far so good.

For a long time about 50% of the hits on my name on the first couple of Google pages were me, the rest were an American lawyer. I suspect that he retired or something because after that most of the hits were me, and a couple were the production designer for Shaun of the Dead and some other films, also a Londoner. This led to at least one case of mistaken identity - I had a very confusing call from someone who wanted to "do lunch" and I think wanted to set up some sort of film deal, who must have gone away thinking the other one was an idiot.

Right now it's all me on the first three pages apart from one hit on a British lawyer who is fortunately not from London, after that more lawyers and the film guy start creeping in.

I'm getting 24 in a few weeks

If you Google me under my married name, you come up with different, very well known, Elisabeth-with-an-S who wrote about death and dying. We don't have the same last name but it is very similar and a lot of people think (incorrectly) that it is spelled the way I spell my last name.

My maiden name will bring up a lot of genealogy stuff. I am very interested in the subject now but I was really into it in college and so my name appears on message boards and forums all over the place. Genealogy is a subject where you really have to use your own name, otherwise you kind of miss the point!

(and I am still 27!)

That reminds me of a line in the film "Yours, Mine, and Ours" -- the coast guard captain ran into his high school sweetheart, and wanted to find out what she was doing these days -- especially if she were married. He mentioned to his buddy that he'd done some online searching. The buddy, scandalized, asked, "You googled another man's wife?!?"

Hello everybody I'm new here, I'm 19 years old!

I watched when I was younger (though I had the benefit of not having my parents around and if they were they didn't understand). My mum was with me when VD aired and paid no particular attention. Personally the stuff on L&C is a lot tamer than what is on the air now. I got S3 and S4 last week now I have to wait for the American release to be delivered to the store and my collection will be complete and that'll be my birthday present for this year! (Just 8 more days till my 23rd birthday!)

ROTFL. I am so in denial, too. I turned 18 exactly two months ago and I still sometimes forget I'm not 17 anymore.

I say we start lying about our age.

I turn 40 in one month (Dec. 12), so I could have waited another month to check the next category. But then I wouldn't be able to change the next poll for another five years.

I like Superman in almost all of its incarnations having grown up on the George Reeves series, watched Justice League cartoons, Superman and Superboy cartoons, L&C, and even Smallville (though I don't particularly like the first three seasons). I also liked the new Superman Returns movie, though Brandon and Kate are too young-looking to have had that kind of history.

I'm 35 years old! But on 7th december 36!!!!

LOL!!!

I'm 19, but I'm still convinced I'm 12. Ah well...

What drew me to Lois & Clark? Their relationship and how "normal" the show felt to me. Plus a vague feeling that I've seen it before. Which I had. I was 6 when the show premiered and I remember hiding under a table when my parents watched the show...

A previous poll had
That's a big hunk of years. Thanks for making it 4 year increments, Paul.
Well, so far I'm older than everyone who had posted.
