I'm 19, and I can remember being 11, and no, it wasn't pretty, either. I can imagine wishing to be 25 when I'm 50, but not wishing to be a 11 again. -------------------- Kelandon's Pink and Pretty Page!! (The home of BoA's HLPM v1.1!) Rate my scenarios!

You're 13, I see. Seems about right, although I'd have pegged you lower. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Personally, I would prefer to be 13 again. Back then I used to live alot more, stay out longer, philosophise less and was generally a happier person. Now, a bare two years on, I am often struck by melancholy and lack of motivation. My potential and skills have increased, but the real ability to do anything is just the same. Add that to some of my more disturbing, yet all but certain theories, and this just aggrieves me. And, with the assistance of other environmental factors, has rendered me quite insane. Just as big, just as smart, but restricted by the fools who just see a child. -------------------- I like to say quack because I can, I like to say moooo because I can, but I don't like saying ergle flmp because I can never pronounce phenomenon first try. In conclusion, quack, moooo and phenonemenonmenonnon... Oh Poo. http://s4.invisionfree.com/Ultimate_RP/index.php Try it! Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

See, this is why sharing ages over the internet leads only to stupidity. There are the older teenagers who act like elementary school students, and bad ones at that. There are the preteens who think they can act mature and end up acting like elementary school students. There are the few people of all ages who manage to act like rational human beings. I'd much rather group people by useful types than by age. Wittily caustic, nauseatingly bubbly (no bias, I swear!), obnoxiously egocentric, and childishly petulant seem to be the overrepresented categories. Some of them are much better and much more honest at identifying themselves than others. I'm sure you can figure it out. ?Alorael, who just found a tangent and wandered away with it. He'd apologize if he were sincerely sorry, but instead he'll just mutter and hope nobody notices because they're too busy trying to put each other into nice, neat little boxes.

Hmm. Let's see. Irrationally exuberant? Check. Self-aggrandizing? Check. Abstract thought processes rivalling a particularly clever clump of moss? Check. Blind neophilia? Check. I'd say around 8 or so. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

How 'bout we forget trying to get to know people here, and just leave your ideas of what people are up to your imagination. That's usually how boards, and the internet in general, work. -------------------- Better to die for something, than live for nothing. Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

Nah, I find it interesting to know that Drakey is actually five years old. Besides, I can usually guess people's ages after a handful of posts. It doesn't really affect my judgment of that person, but it is an interesting side-note. -------------------- Kelandon's Pink and Pretty Page!! (The home of BoA's HLPM v1.1!) Rate my scenarios!

Sometimes people are more mature. Sometimes they are more childish. A fifty-year-old can have the worst spelling and grammar of anyone you know. But that is sidetracked and pointless, not to mention dull. It doesn't matter how old someone is. Or who they are. Not even what they say. All that really matters is the whole. Ah rollocks. I apologise. I'm not really a people-person at the moment. Nor do I use more than two of my personalities on these boards. But at the moment I really couldn't care less. -------------------- I like to say quack because I can, I like to say moooo because I can, but I don't like saying ergle flmp because I can never pronounce phenomenon first try.

I honestly can't remember being eleven. But then, oh yes, I'm twenty-seven. Much older than you tiddlers.

quote:You remember events that happened when you were 11, I have no doubt. As for what it was like to be 11, you can't completely remember. It's comparable to trying to remember what it was like to not know something once you know it. You can't completely remember the way you saw the world without a healthy bit of distortion from your current view of things. IMHO, anyway, you could always be unique...
