I’m 35. It feels like a good age for me to be. All my ages have, though.

I’m 62 next month, and have a daughter who was 13 this past March.

It’s all in your head.

Heh. I didn’t realise there were so many of us 22-year-olds floating around here (we all float down here).

But yes, 22. Feel like I’m going on fifty some days, and feel like I’m about three years old on others.

I’m 21 years, a lot of days, 18 hours, and some minutes. I’ll be 22 in August, and then I can be just like everyone else, too! Gah, but 1983 must have been a loving time for a lot of people’s parents here.

Er, 22. Born in January. I wasn’t originally going to respond to this thread, but it’s odd how many people on this board seem to have been born in [1984](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679417397/sr=8-2/qid=1151305696/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-4159107-4229557?ie=UTF8). I didn’t think my age group was so well represented here.

**Roland** , I completely thought you were at least 25. I’ve no idea why. I just thought you were significantly older than I am. Strange . . .

Sorry. I did see it _after_ I had posted that challenge, but decided just to let it ride. I have trouble remembering what it felt like to be much younger. There are days when I don’t remember what it felt like to be 63.

Okay I am 21 and will be 22 in September, but I was born in 1984 😕
