You're only as old as you feel, in which case I'd say I'm still firmly stuck in my late teens, maybe early twenties.
Really the only thing age has taught me is knowing when to keep my fool mouth shut, which I still fail at, so.
Yes. This.
Especially, I'm WAY to close to pushing the big FIVE-O and I STILL fail epicly at keeping my fool mouth shut.
Some things just never change,...

Well, Aranna, I will be happy to tell you that Sissyl is a demon from the Realm of Atland webcomic. Where that came from, however, I have no idea.
Not even a demon made of agave hemp? 1d4 ⇒ 1 goblin babies are mildly disappointed.

NaNo Update:
Day two was rough. I was soooo tired and I had to go grocery shopping, take the kidlet to the doctor, and attend parent teacher conferences. Had to give up after writing only 1300 words. Was so out of it that when I was picking up my things I stubbed my toe on the bed and spilled tea all over the blanket and my hair. My reaction time was just so slow that I couldn't stop it. It was like a slow motion Baymax fall. End result: I missed my word count goal and I had tea in my hair.
Day three I got to sleep in since the kidlet was off of school. Managed to catch up by writing 2700 words. But every one of those words was as painful as convincing a preschooler to eat their vegetables.
Day four: Today's word count is brought to you by the department of redundancy department. And procrastination. So much procrastination. Seriously, this thing is not flowing well. Ugh. Why did I think this was a good idea again?

...But every one of those words was as painful as convincing a preschooler to eat their vegetables...
Careful! Some preschoolers are freaks of nature.
Impus Major at 4: "No, dad! I don't want french fries! I want broccoli!"
Nobody wonders why at 14 he's 4'10" and all of 95 pounds. His lunches are still fruits and vegetables. I even tried to add little fruit cups, but they come in light syrup and he thinks they're "too sweet".
Yeah. I hate him and his insanely-healthy tastes.

The preschoolers in this metaphor were more of the Ugh! I won't eat that! I think it might have touched a vegetable once! variety. :P
And that sounds....like a very different experience than what I had with either my siblings or the kidlet. It was more like eeeew.....things on my plate are touching! I don't want to eat any green food! Or orange food either! No, I don't like this raw! This is gross unless it's cooked! I found a piece of onion in this! I'll never eat it again! And so on.... :)

Ebon's daughter is like that:
The day you realize you just said "you can't have more broccoli until you finish your pizza".

More ideas re: Wunian Orcs
Orcs beleive death is the only thing that truly exists in their world, and that just everything else is akin to an illusion. Choices made in life either bring death closer or keep it at bay, so the average orc does believe the food they eat is real(it keeps them alive), the weapon at their side is real(it keeps them to deal death), that the children they sire are real(which offer them a strange immortality of a sort), etc. But the average orc doesn't care much for money, creature comforts or other such things- the world is largely an illusion, and pursuing something that isn't real is foolish in the extreme. Orcs take this attitude to their intimate relationships as well, which are as passionate and tumultous as they are brief, with an emphasis on mulitiplicity and repeat performances over exclusivity and isolated moments of passion.
Orcs believe that all a being is and ever will be resides in the head(and spine to a certain extent), and so have a martial tradition that revolves around cracking skulls open with their beloved slings, maces and other bludgeons, often carved to depict the tales of those who have wielded the weapon in the past. On occasion, great warclubs will be fashioned from the thighbones of particularly impressive beasts, especially large prey animals whose meat served to feed an entire family during lean times. Decapitation is a reserved for those deserving a particularly ignominious death, for a smashed and broken skull allows for a soul to leave the body all the faster- the soul lingers in a severed head like a prisoner in a gaol(as evidenced by the twitching eyes and moving lips). Orc warriors take great pride in displaying the smashed skulls of common foes and the perfectly whole skulls of hated enemies.

Sorry. I love you guys, but... no.
I'll take a summary of what I missed over, like, two weeks. :D
Nobodyshome's son is totally going to get to second base with the Green God in Serpent's Skull.
Also Nobodyshome is a bad influence that teaches others to Smurf, tho it's not his fault, he's just really old.
