I was 17 at the time, but still. She was in grade 8, I in grade 11. When I tell the story, I paraphrase Homer Simpson: "For me, the 90s ended that day. In 2003."

I couldn't tell if it was me being a freak and not realizing how young she was or her looking old enough that I couldn't tell.

Freaked me right out LOL you don't have to worry about your sight failing, Caedus. There are a lot of girls out there today that looks much older than they really are. Makeup, high heels and short skirts are the cause of this. I know someone who's fifteen but she looks old enough to have a job of her own. _________________ We fight, we earn, we never learn.

I scheduled an appointment to get my makeup done for my college graduation pictures, but only specified it was for my graduation. When I arrived, the woman said, "Oh, is this my high school graduation appointment?" I'm five years out of high school, and they still think I look 18. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

I keep hearing that when I'm in my 30's I'll love it, but currently its difficult to deal with. I understand Mara's predicament. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Cerrinea Master Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 1417 Oh man this is irritating me so much. My cable box remote. It's so annoyingly picky about where you aim it. You have to get it just right. I know, I know. Majorly lazy gripe here. _________________ Roqoo Depot co-founder.

Cerrinea Master Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 1417 The TV has nothing to do with it. My TV remote works fine on the TV. It's the cable box remote working -- or not -- on the cable box. _________________ Roqoo Depot co-founder.

Cerrinea Master Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 1417 Lol, I'm way ahead of you on the batteries. Already tried that. Nope, it's just you have to be really precise about pointing that stupid remote. I agree a new TV would be great. Alas, it's not in the budget and now Xmas is coming up sooner than I'm prepared for. _________________ Roqoo Depot co-founder.

When I arrived, the woman said, "Oh, is this my high school graduation appointment?" I'm five years out of high school, and they still think I look 18. I'm like that way too. I'm in my late 20s and still get carded, frequently mistaken for being the youngest sister. Caedus_16 wrote: If I shave my goatee I look 15, its ridiculous.

Don't shave your goatee again. Not because you'll look young, but because goatees are awesome. _________________ Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47.
