How old are you?

Well, it's official. I'm the old lady of the crowd:  40!!

Yes the avatar is my picture. When i dont have my ID ask, i'm almost insulted I think, darn i'm starting to actually look my age! The fact that i'm barely 5 feet also works for me!!! My first boy friend who was older than me, passed a couple of time for my dad. At 19 i looked like 14....

Funny, i looked at this thread for a week now, and till now i failed to realize that there are 4 pages to it  lol

Anyway, i'm 21, almost 22. But mentally i feel like i am older then my dad. Had (and still have) too, too damn many things to worrie about at the age of 7 and after. Life has been not too kind...
Maybe because of that i can look any age i want? I came to realize that it not only depends on how you look and dress, but also at how you act, speak, walk, the facial expressions you make  etc.
I was given 34, and i was given 15. I was mistaken for my dad countless times, i was even mistaken for some company director dude once In our university i am constantly been mistaken for the professor.

There is a funy thing in our family, really funny.
I was born in the year of the rat, and am 12 years younger then my uncle, also born in the year of the rat, and he is 12 years younger then my dad, also born in the year of the rat, who is 24 years younger then my grandma, the 'rat mother' of the family

Well, althou my uncle is 12 years older then me, 97% of the time people mistake us one for another. My uncle looks really, really young, and has a short stature, when i on the contrary am 1.92 meters high. The difference is so staggering that he is sometimes even mistaken for my kid! LoL When something like this happens, he gets _really_ pissed off, and i can imagine why

As for all you older people here, i can say one thing - i never would have given you your age, judging solely on your posts you made.
Like in that saying that 'you ARE as old as you FEEL'? I plan on sticking to 22-23 for the rest of my life And even when i am 70, i will still take my everyday physical excersizes and go on camping trips every 3 months.

But just to be completely honest i have to say that i never suspected that anyone of that age would still be interested in art in general... yeah, and talking to someone who is two-three times younger then you are This literally changed some of my views on life.... No offence meant in any way, heavens forbid.

Thats so awesome! Dont worry, if that picture is recent, you still look 18! No need to worry about looking your age..

Your first boyfriend passed off as your dad? That would be so cool! For some reason now I'm getting funny images in my head:

Person: What the heck is your dad doing back there?!

Lili: Uuuh...thats my BOYFRIEND..

Person: er, what?! oh.......sorry o____o;;;

I love that way of thinking yak........I've been 21 for a few years despite my family's best efforts to make me age, LOL

 

It happened almost like that... We were in a pub and our waitress was completely flirting with my boy friend while completely ignoring me. Eventually, she asked...your daughter seems rather old, how old is she?

She's 20 and she's my girl friend! The look on her face was priceless...

Thank you by the way and the picture was taken last year.

LOL indeed XD.

Yeah, that is why i hate are birthdays. They are basically rubbing it in for you, like 'OMG, yesterday i was 18, and now i'm freaking 22! How is that posible? Damn, time flies.....  *sad thoughts about wasted time*'

Aaahhhh, aging ain't fun You can no longer allow yourself to do silly stuff like you can when you feel young. You can't just go building sand castles on the beach or running around and jumping happily, enjoying a warm summer day - because it would look inapropriate for your age But  the urge is too great sometimes. So.... what the hell.... i'm in
