So I'm going on 20 yrs old... B-day is next month (the 14th ;)) and I still like Pokemon. Yeah I'll admit it the games are really fun. I don't collect the cards but I've been reading the manga online recently. I also love watching cartoons still.
So VegWebbers what out there do you (or at least some people think) you're too old to still like?
jumping in puddles, watching little kid shows, throwing tantrums (haha), having dolly.
oh the list just goes on and on! hah
Not.A.Damn.Thing.
I am a firm believer no one is too ______ to enjoy ____________.
I agree with hanashi.
But still, things that would go on the list would be
-My little pony
-Cartoons
-Coloring
-Stuffed animals
-Hannah Montana
-Almost any movie aimed at little kids
-Running around in rain (i do this whenever i'm here alone, or somewhere with friends.)
-Making forts
-Footie pjs
-Putting stickers on everything
Not.A.Damn.Thing.
I am a firm believer no one is too ______ to enjoy ____________.
Oh the words that could be inserted into those blanks...
I'm too old to still be procrastinating homework when I should be grown up enough to realize it's just a part of life.
Or maybe I'm just too old for homework.
Either or.
Not.A.Damn.Thing.
I am a firm believer no one is too ______ to enjoy ____________.

Exactly why I did it!! ;)
I'm 26 and I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Lol
Disney Movies
Fairytale endings
Cartoon Network (classic only)
Lisa Frank stuff
Yeah, I do not believe in being too old for anything. And I nurture my inner 5 year old!
However, I can make a list of things OTHER people might think I am too old for!
Disney movies
Any heart warming little kids movie actually
Christmas films!
Santa Claus (who else is going to stuff my stocking?)
Playing silly little games and getting others to join me
Dancing around public places for no reason
Hello Kitty!
Anything that is pink and has ribbons, streamers, glitter, sparkles, hearts, etc.
Imagining
Classic children´s literature
Skipping around
Jumping in puddles with rain boots on
I could go on on! I always am forgetting how old I am. I am never going to "grow up." ;)b
I love teddy bears and other stuffed animals and am probably too old for them, but who cares? I read than more than half the stuffed animals purchased in this country are meant for adults... ;)
I'm soooo glad that other people agree with me that you're never too old to enjoy something!!! ;)b
Things I didn't mention earlier:
Disney movies
comic books (manga)
I did say earlier Cartoons but I wanted to stress that I love cartoons!
Christmas music and specials (around Christmas time)
Charlie Brown (The Peanuts)
I'm actually listening to a song from the 1st pokemon movie as I'm typing this. ;D
I'm 26 and I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
my dad is 46 and loves buffy the vampire slayer! haha
I'm 21 (soonish to be 22!), and I thoroughly enjoy Superman & related media.
Also, I check out the kid's craft kits sometimes when I go to the craftstore... not out of some I-want-to-have-children thing like the other women browsing there (hehe), but because I WANT A CRAFT KIT LIKE BACK IN THE DAY. Friendship bracelets, lanyards, sh*tty paper airplanes, pom-pom creatures, etc. I can never talk myself into getting one though, because I figure if I actually get a kit I'll realize, like the adult I am, that they're not a good value for the money and they're not as fun as I remember. Which is depressing.
... I bought friendship bracelet yarn a few months ago.
I want to get one of those make-your-own-xmas-village kits they have at the craftstore. It has a picture of kids making it on the outside, but I'm trying not to care. I know it'll probably fall apart after the low-grade glue degrades after a week, but... they're pretty. And the paint your own ornaments!
This thread is already bad for my maturity.
OK so I'm 2.5 years off 50 and I still love reading children's books. I mean, like Raggedy Ann in Candy Land and such as that.
And watching the original series of the Wombles, Ivor the Engine ("There he is, look") and just about anything that came from the British animators of the 70s. Except Paddington Bear...for some reason Paddington and I couldn't make friends. The bear was cute but I got tired of "look how stupid this person is being" comedy.
Eating a whole huge bowl of popcorn at a sitting and then complaining about how stuffed I feel.
Rubber duckies in the bath.
Blowing soap bubbles.
I saw a merry-go-round in a street fair the other day...is it because I've grown up, or are they now made smaller than they used to be? I wanted to ride the pink poney! They may be tame but MGRs have always been my favourite carnival ride.
My big one, that is one (of the many) reason(s) I don't talk to some family members is collecting (original) Pound Puppies, and still sleep with the one I've had since I was two....Dec 25th 1984.....yeah....it was over 5 years ago when my cousin's wife said I should stop sleeping with my PP, because that's what your husband is for!! I held back: "Fuck that!! If he ends up on the couch, I know I'LL have something/one to cuddle!"
Then there are the footsie pjs, I typically hold back wearing them around partners for the 'introductory' period, because, combined with the Pound Puppies, I could make some very good $$ online with pictures....and I'm not interested in dating pedophiles! D is different....he may be thrown into the deep end if it gets any cooler; they really are the comfiest/warmest things in the world!!
I dance in my seat when I eat something yummy.
I color.
I read nursery rhymes. (I collect antique mother goose books, and study the progression/bastardization/sanitation of the old ones.)
I'm sure there are other things that would be deemed 'inappropriate' for my age, but like I said, I don't believe in that....so I only really know the ones I've been told by others repeatedly I do.....
I am 32 and still love jumping in those big inflatable jumpy thingies. Luckily I have a son who is just learning to walk, pretty soon he will be old enough to jump in those thingies, and perhaps I can go in with him posing as his mother and that he needs "my help". Heee heee.
Oh, and Chuky Cheeses and crawling through those tubes, of course I am getting too big but they are still fun, but again, with my son just getting old enough, we are going to have lots of fun!
I can't wait!
Trick-or-treating.
I have a gigantic stuffed animal (dog), which I wholly plan to keep forever. It's soooo cozy.
Rubber duckies in the bath.
Yes! And I have to play with them in a bubble bath!
At 36 I still enjoy blowing bubbles, jumping in inflatable bouncy things, watching kid movies (I quote Nemo a lot), splashing in puddles and read webcomics almost every day. Hanashi is right, one is never to _______ to enjoy _________.
I always have the urge to bedazzle things. I really want to buy a bedazzler just so I can sparkle up a bunch of crap that I'll never wear or use again, mainly because its now covered in gems.
