I’m currently 18, but only for a short while. On September 1 I will be _trumpets sound_ 19. A magical number here, as it is the legal drinking age. Not that it really matters, as I look much older.

Darn right you do, rob. I thought you were at least my age. When you talked about the university you go to, I assumed you were a junior or senior. 🙂

Nope, nope. I’m second year, so I think I would be referred to as a sophomore. People have always thought me to be older than I am. I had a beard and long hair in the beginning of grade 10 (I also wore a lot of tie-dye, by the way). A lot of the people that didn’t know me thought I was an intern. Which worked to my advantage, of course. 😃

I’m 48, almost 49. It’s comforting to know there are at least a few of us truly in middle age.

I guess I would be classed as middle aged at 38. But somedays I feel a lot older.

I’ll be 30 in 17 days. Apparently, I am supposed to be upset about this fact.

I’m not, though. When my daughter turned 12 - now THAT upset me 🙂

Well,  
Let’s see I watch VH1, thought that the name Limp Bisket was a joke when my husband who listens to the radio on the way to work told me about. I just gave up with the radio a couple of years ago.

Oh and I am 27.
