Ah but, you spend the whole of your youth trying to look older and then the rest of your life trying to look younger.

I remember in London with a couple of friends, one of us was 22 and the others 21...we bought dinner and some wine to go with it and the clerk asked which of us was over 18! I laughed at him so hard I started to choke, needless to say he was a bit embarrassed :oops:

At first, I thought people would assume I was immature, being one of the youngest members in the board (14). Most of you guys aren't nice or patronizing, and a lot of you backed me up when I wanted to be a mod. So now I mod the Quidditch forum along with Sacred Guardian and Wilwizard (we should send a search/rescue squad to find him) and get to "guide" along people years older than me.

And its true than you try and look younger as you get older and you try and look older as you're young. There's no gray section where you're happy. They use plastic surgery, makeup, anti-wrinkle cream, collagen and botox to appear different than who you are. (btw, for those who have FX, have you seen nip/tuck. good show, but its TV-MA for a reason[i watch it with the 'rents])

I'm 24. Old geezers at the grocery store still ask if I go to <my city> High; but the real teenyboppers know better. They're already sneering and calling me "ma'am". :cry:

I'm 16 right now, but the day after tomorrow I will be 17. Yay, go me! :lol: I'm really glad to see the difference in ages here thouhg, it's nice to know that I'm not the oldest person reading Harry Potter (because at my HS sometimes that's what it seems like!)
