I don't know his character very well, but I just hope I can become a kickass older lady and go on adventures even when I'm old and don't have anyone in the world.

[iceyred]

When I'm old and alone I intend to have money so I can go on fabulous cruises and lie about my past.

'Why, my lover was the head of a Greek shipping company, but he died after being in the face with a wombat and I inherited everything. Oh Nikos, I'd give up some of my money to have you back.' *sips champagne*

'This ring? Oh, I stole in a jewel heist in Budapest. That was after I committed medicare fraud and slept with a FBI agent to cover it up.'

'I bring my tiger skin rug with me everywhere. The furry bastard attacked me. Thank God for opposable thumbs, otherwise I'd have been doomed. Every time I see that rug I remember to thank Heaven for evolution and high powered weaponry.'

Being old and alone might not be the best thing ever, but it would be fairly entertaining. Think of all the people you could troll, and few of them would have the cajones to call you out on it!

[kallanda_lee]

Sadly, the money thing might be a issue for me.

But I do love the idea of spinning these crazy stories and making people wonder if they're real. Hey, even without lying, I have more stories that money.

Only down side: it does get harder to make new friend with age, though maybe it gets better after everyone gets divorced and/or widowed again.

[iceyred]

I'm already a 'get off my lawn!' kinda gal, so I imagine that as my peers mellow out of their drama llama stages and get old, I'll have an easier time relating to them. I hope and expect to have more friends when I'm old.

Not gonna lie, I expect being old to be pretty amazing.

[kallanda_lee]

I sort of expect the "not giving a fuck" to be maximized, which I'm sure is liberating.

I'd rather stay young, but since I don't get to choose, I'm gonna make an eccentric old nutter one day.

[iceyred]

Eternal youth would be preferable, but you gotta make the best of what you're given. Being old should be fun!

[dreemyweird]

Okay, this is awesome. I really hope you can pull this off <3

[iceyred]

:3 I'll keep you updated. I might not wait until old age before I start. Depending on when/if I get married, my late forties might be an ideal time to start.

[(Anonymous)]

Good plan.

However, being in my forties myself, it's nowhere near old enough yet to pull off the eccentric batty fabulous old lady routine, although I'm having a good enough try myself.

Practice when you're young, that's what I say. Be an eccentric fantasist from the day you're born.

[sabotabby]

That's going to be me. No ambition beyond my current station in life, no desire for marriage or kids, just cats and travel. On the plus side, it's not as though I'm going to run out of curry.

You're doing gods work.

Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

Image: a screen cap of the character Dave Lister, kicked back in a chair, his feet up on an instrument panel, looking up at somebody out of the frame.

Text: I come from a small family. Just a few relatives, mostly elders, no cousins, I’m the youngest and I don’t want any children of my own. I have a handful of good friends, but even their number is shrinking. Some are focusing on their own families, some moved abroad or simply too far away to keep a close relationship.

The older I am the more I worry I’m gonna spend the last part of my life alone.

In those time I like to pretend I’ll be like Dave Lister.

Still keeping his optimism and having a laugh, no matter he’s the last remaining human and the planet Earth probably doesn’t exist anymore, no matter the love of his life and all his friends are dead and there’s no hope for a future of haman kind. He could make it, so will I.

Who knows, maybe I’ll end up stuck alone somewhere, only with a company of a cat, a robotic servant, and an unbearable neighbor who will drive me nuts. And I’ll be fine.

Re: Transcript

[solticisekf]

Huh, I didn't see the tiny pink text.

Re: Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's actually what the tiny pink font says.

Re: Transcript

[solticisekf]

It is!

Re: Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, it says... "Sorry for my engrish.".

Re: Transcript

[solticisekf]

You're right.
A beta I am not, haha.

[(Anonymous)]

I fail to see your problem here, OP. Unless you become allergic to cats. Really the only downside.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's a good attitude to have, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

There are worse heroes to have.

[dreemyweird]

I have some really good friends, so I expect I won't be alone alone when I'm old (though, of course, the possibility is always there), but I am an aro-ace who is also pretty uncomfortable with the idea of sharing their personal space with anyone, so cats+travel is probably my future, too (if nothing bad happens to me). I can't say I'm displeased with this idea. There are plenty of ways to have fun in a situation like this, especially if you're not absolutely destitute.

[(Anonymous)]

Rock on, OP. I'll try to adopt some of your attitude myself.

Thanks OP

[(Anonymous)]

I worry sometimes that I'll die alone and sad, but I forgot about Dave Lister - I think I could cope toward the end on my own if I can have curry everyday :)

[solticisekf]

I hope in my old age to not be a drama queen and meet some friends. I'm feeling optimistic.

Btw, I've happened upon a blog by an author who wrote a book on how to make friends. She talked about making friends in the old(-ish) age - making sure you're not clingy and such, taking part in hobbies groups, community events, etc. Anyway, the point is it's never late to make good friends.
