God love her for it.

Yet another reason why black people are genetically superior to whites. :contract:

We used to at least have more hair color variations but now hair dye has equalized that :(

Though to be fair she is only 34, that Glee guy who drug overdosed was about that age.

He also didn't really look like a teen. Mid-20s at the youngest.

:yes:

He was 31 and maybe could pass for 22 or 23, if you didn't look really closely. Puckerman is the same, on the show. Doesn't look remotely like the 19-year-old he's supposed to be playing.

It's called suspension of disbelief. ;)

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Also, I think there's something to be said for some people with regards to forgetting how teenagers actually look/act. I'm rarely around them but when I am, I'm always amazed on how they really are children. Makes it harder for me to understand why people would find teens attractive as the hollywood/tv teens are all 20somethings and up.

It really depends on the kids. Some of my kids' friends are young: young-looking, young-acting, young-sounding. Some, on the other hand, I could easily mistake for adults. Okay, young adults, but still adults.

It's very much a blurred time. Even those of us with kids in this age-bracket don't always guess correctly.

Perhaps and I think an actress like Lawson clearly demonstrates how things can be blurred. Personally though, of people I've actually spoken with, nearly everyone 22 and below seem like babies. -_-

In actions, probably. In how they look, not so much.

Of course, at my age, I'd up that to 25. ;)

I'm about to turn off my desktop. We won't be together again for a month. And then the internet will probally be lacking for a while. :(

Definitely depends on the kids.
My kids at school, though they're 15-18 give off a vibe of being more like under 16s. Except for the calculus.

It is wonderful to be back in Fukuoka! Here my personality shifts slightly; In all situations I remember to always smile more enthusiastically than anyone else in the room, and have a softer register of voice.

It is most pleasant to be here. Most pleasant. I even retrieved my camera immediately.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Nice to hear Lettow.



Cool photo I found of a frog using a leaf umbrella
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Macy's Music Festival is this weekend.  I think I hear Bootsy doing a sound check across the street! :punk:

I bet Lettuce gives those Japanese clean freaks a whole new meaning to Gaijin Stink.
