*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.

I love Aganzir's new picture! (Maybe because it was I who took it... But really, she just looks so funny (and cute). )

Be happy that you look so young, Laurinque. I am often mistaken for someone in my early twenties and it's not always a pleasant experience. Still, your picture looks great and I'm glad that you've added it to the Downs!

She looks like a happy Elf maiden running through the woods without a care in the world. Excellent bit of photography.

Haha, did you notice my maple horns?

That picture was taken a month ago so no, it isn't that green here anymore. That tree has dropped its leaves ages ago.

The best looking entwife I've ever seen!

I envy the maple horns, sadly I'm stuck with plain old Sequoia or Madrona.

Haha thank you.

Although I don't know that much of Sequoia or Madrona since we don't have them here, they at least look nice. So unless their leaves are sticky and smell awful ten metres away, they should be as good entwife trees as maples. Or maybe they look a bit more entish though...

Sequoias are ridiculously big and would make very impressive Entwives.

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...

Well, I have a new and better picture of myself to share.



I'm the rightmost guy, that striking man in a labcoat.

Boots Just a piece of amusement...

I was looking at very old photos and something caught my eye once again - I haven't changed at all. I thought this piece of proof might amuse you...

Lommy a bit less than 2yo (the girl in the middle - that worm erm... baby is Greenie)


Lommy 17yo* in her BD photpage pic


Striking, isn't it?

*Ouch, should maybe find a newer pic soon...
