Actually, the problem is that everyone here in the U.S. now wants to be called a...

I could see that. I'm the opposite - for some reason, people have always thought I'm older than I am. They started thinking I was nineteen or twenty when I was thirteen. Now it's not quite as big a...

That's very, very interesting when compared to the human tendency to marry within a "time limit" of sorts. The average age that we get married these days is higher than it was centuries ago. This, as...

Just keep telling yourself you're hilarious and you'll be fine. ;)

And, you want to be a cowboy, huh (reading your signature)? Should start watching Deadwood on HBO. Great show.
