6. Can you legally post here?
just kidding!

Glad you found a great liberal/dem site.

I wish you luck.

Enjoy your youth and friends as much and as long as you are able.

Don't grow up too fast.

I hope you have a great life. My only words of wisdom would be, other than the stuff written prior, would be to enjoy life and your friends.

Treasure your friends. You will remember them for almost forever.

Peace.

11. usually younger...
I usually get younger, but oddly, at my sister's wedding, I was 35 at the time, she was 27, the DJ asked if I was the bride's mother....I was 8 months pregnant...why would he even think that...having kids nearly 3 decades apart? I guess it's possible.

20. A lot younger
I'm 25, and a few months ago I was carded for buying a lottery ticket (which you have to be at least 18 to be able to buy in New Jersey). Also, when I was a senior in high school, I was constantly mistaken for being a freshman (I went to a large high school where you definitely didn't get to know everybody at the school).

22. last night, I had a rehearsal/audition with a local band
who need a keyboard player (among other things)

we were trading life stories and I told them my age. They were shocked. One guy is 8 years younger than me and was stunned to learn that I wasn't younger than him. He thought I was twelve years younger than I am. I usually get guesses about 6 years younger than my actual age.

For all the frigging good it does me.

Made my night though.

23. Other.
This next song we're going to dedicate to a great American
organization. Tonight I'd like to dedicate this to our boys
in the FBI.

Well, wait a minute. It's hard to be an FBI man. I mean, first
of all, being an FBI man, you have to be over 40 years old.
And the reason is that it takes at least 25 years with the
organization to be that much of a bastard. It's true. You just
can't join, you know. It needs an atmosphere where your
natural bastardness can grow and develop and take a
meaningful shape in today's complex society.

I'm 32, customers at work have asked me "do you work here after school?" I attribute this to good genes and living in the north.
