Hey Johnny Depp was probably at his cutest in Edward Scissorhands.

Skippy, how old are you actually? I couldn't decide between 20 and 35.

Well, I celebrated my 25th birthday in August....

Just like how I'm 12 and 50 months old! :P

Has everyone seen my "lovely" picture? I'm shamelessly posing with my teacup.

Lindale · 09-17-2008, 08:31 AM

16? You look younger in that photo, Laurinquë. Well, I was that age (minus one) too when my photo was taken. Can I get that photo changed into something more recent?

There's no need to update my picture Volster, but I thought at least one of you might get a kick out of the wig I found at work yesterday.

Mithalwen · 09-17-2008, 12:01 PM

just don't put up the picture of that awful figurine, Oddie....

Volo · 09-17-2008, 12:22 PM

:S Oddie, I thought that was your new haircut, without the braid, and was scared.

*Sigh* I know. Many people think I am much younger than I really am (I've been mistaken for a 8th grader on more than one occasion). Doesn't help you much when your 16 and you look 12, but hopefully when I'm 56 I'll look 52. Or something like that. I think it's my round face that makes people think I'm younger.

I think looking younger than you are is a common "problem" among us 'downers (I "suffer" from it too

) but you know, if you look younger you can buy children's tickets to everywhere and get everything cheaper... err, nothing, I mean, because that's obviously criminal.

Anyway, it does work the way you said: reputedly, my mum was IDed for a bar (you can get in if you're 18) when she was 24 or something, and now she's soon 43 and many people assume she's in her late thirties and are surprised to find out she's a bit older. So, good for us babyfaces, eh?

Hmm, if your professor during the first day of class mistakes you for a high school student and ask what the hell are you doing in his higher English class and won't believe you even if you said you are a junior and have taken all prerequisites for that class, will that still be amusing?

I look younger than my age (turning eighteen in a couple of months), and still younger than most my batchmates by a year. Overall result I look like a high school student next to them.

That's okay, Lauri. When I was eight my little brother and I were sitting in the car in the parking lot of the hospital, because my mum had to go in and get something (probably her paycheck) and one of the security guards came out and saw us, and he though I was five. I was really upset, because I wasn't five, I was eight!

I don't suppose I look young for my age now...

Gwathagor · 09-17-2008, 04:39 PM

12 and 50 months? I could have believed 12.
