[QUOTE=saoirse] 41/32/42/32/36 Does anyone over 30 really want to be 21 again? I loved it at the time, but now? [/QUOTE] I would do my 20’s over again. I wouldn’t go younger than that for anything though. ---

Age you are: 42 Age you feel: 30 Age you act: 30 Age you look: 35 Age you wish you were: 25-30 I was an old teenager/young 20s–was never really interested in a lot of the stuff people that age were interested in, like drinking, partying, dating, and sex. I’ve always been a geek, into science fiction, computers, Star Trek/Star Wars, roleplaying games, and that sort of stuff. I never really grew up. I’m a responsible grownup in the sense that I’m married (no kids–don’t want any), own a home, have a good job that pays decently, and pay my bills, but other than that I still feel like I’m in my mid 20s. My free time these days consists mostly of playing World of Warcraft, playing with my cats, and hanging out with the spouse (who’s as much of a kid at heart as I am). ---

I am 43. (today! tomorrow I’ll be 43 +1 day) I feel depends on my blood sugar/alcohol level. I act like a 30 year old. I look like, I have no idea but I did recently take the grey out of my hair so I look much younger than I did a week ago. I wish I was 25 again or dead.
