Heh-heh. I don't like him that much. He's cute, but not my favorite. I'm not a big fan of Orlando, either.

oh, trust me, i am *not* making fun. i look about as old as he does. that's the only reason i'm so fixated on it, i think... deep down, it's relief that there's someone else whose face stopped maturing at 12, and i think we should run away together and make people think we've discovered the philosopher's stone or the one ring or something because we never age and we're the eternally 12 couple...
where did that last bit come from?

*blushes and hides*

ROFL!!!!
You know, seriously, on a metaphysical quantum level....LOL....here I go......I think that people only age because inherently they *expect* to. People always laughed at me when I used to say, "Oh, I refuse to wrinkle," but today, much older than I was when I said that <g>, you have to get superduperwupercondrilliontuper close to see the ones I *have* obtained.

<g> Donna,
knocking on wood right now so she doesn't get anymore

Metaphysical quantum level?

[MsPoet]

Metaphysical quantum level?

<g>
What I mean is....the human race views time as linear, but it isn't. It doesn't travel in a straight line at all, as physicists have understood. So humans form themselves according to what they think, ie what they *expect*. My mom and I have discussed how many people her age---in their 50's---look older and ACT older because they expect to (and some of them actually have said so). I never really wanted to get older, and frankly I don't know if I even expected to--lol---however as for Elijah's mutual slow rate of aging, I dunno (?)

Basically, It's all in the head.

well, it's not all in the head...
it really depends on your life style and how u treat u'r body
if u excercise regularly, eat healthy and don't do anything dumb (smoke, do drugs, etc) u can obviously look younger than u are... ;D
it can be in your head, but mostly it's biological.. ;D

[MsPoet]

Well...yeah...I was thinking on it later, <g>......it's a LOT of things. Seriously, tho, I've met people who look really old and they're like, "Um, we're SUPPOSED to get old."
Um, NO.

the only odd thing about that theory.. or those theories, i suppose... is that i'm horribly unhealthy and i actually *want* to look older.

as much as i'll appreciate it when i'm middle-aged, i don't particularily like having guys say "oh, it was just your birthday, eh? so you're not jailbait anymore?"

and yeah, who gives a d**n what guys say, but even my co-workers thought i turned 17 a week ago. (i turned 21)

over the summer, i was estimated at 14 by my friend's 13 year old sister.

meh. maybe people are just dumb.

Dulcinea, my TEACH elementary-school age children and they don't have a clue to my age. They guess 16, 35, 40, 21, and one day a kid asked me if I were 12! (I mean c'mon, use logic here, kid). The same goes for everybody else. Whenever I'm in a play and happen to tell my real age, my fellow adults look astounded. A 22-year-old who played the title role Gypsy actually thought I was joking when I told her!
So, I know how you feel.
Do you do your hair? The hair has a LOT to do with the entire look. Now I have it long and straight, but for years I curled it every single day because I looked about ten otherwise. Do you put on makeup? It's a must if you want to look older/more mature.
