How old will you be in 1984?

There was a book titled that, once. Really, there was.

4. Is the universe going through that SG-5 time loop again?

tell that guy his wife will always die no matter how many times he runs those time controls backwards and stop bothering us forever. And, oh yeah, happy Valentine's day!

5. In 1984

I was living in Europe, being a Cold Warrior during the Cold War. At the time I felt very old, like Methuselah, but in a younger body. And, while it had its moments, on the whole I hated it.

Now I just feel like Methuselah, without the younger body. But I am loving life. Most of the time. When I can forget.

So, the answer to your question is -- a hell of a lot older than I feel today.

6. I was 10.

my whole world as I knew it was about to go completely to shit.

[Ptah]

7. 34

[pink-o]

8. I turned 30 in December of that year. Freakin' Reagan was re-elected, further ruining it for me.

As I recall there was a lot of doublespeak and "War with East Asia" type propaganda--albeit not as blatant as Chimpy's regime 17 years later. So Orwell predicted Dystopia--but it ended up being even worse than he imagined!

[sakabatou]

[Chan790]

12. 4

I got a metal dumptruck for my birthday. I hit my brother in the head with it and yelled "Tonka!" For his birthday, He got a toy rifle, I emulated something I saw in a Rambo (or some-such) movie and butt-whipped him with it, knocking his several of his brand-new teeth down his throat.

Neither one of us got anything but Legos and Nerf for our birthdays until I was 9.

1984: great book, not such a good year for me.

17. I was 28 years younger than I am today.

Which is not surprising, as I am 28 years older now than I was then.

It's all relative.

[moriah]

19. I was four.

My boss celebrated her 30th anniversary with our company today.

One of my coworkers said he would have been 16 days old the day she started with the company.

Then he quite wisely scurried out of the room.
