Yom holedet sameach, Menolly.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and
active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

And for us Elven types who are immortal?
Actually I'm only a sproglet in Elf years - a mere 44...

Judging by your avatar, you look very young for your age.

Who knows when that pic was taken?
Judging from her posts though, I'd say the same.

You come to Kazakhstan as the ladies look twice as old as are. You keep your age well!

Actually, that pic was taken in 2003. I've gotten a bit chubbier since then, but the wrinkles remain at bay thanks to Olay! *snickers*
I always get 'incredulity' when I tell them my age...especially all those sweet 25 year old boys who try to pick me up in bars!
Doesn't stop them either!

Dang right there, mate! I think that every 20-something has a "mrs robinson" fantasy... sometimes I would oblige them, even though i'm not a "mrs" anything!:twisted:

Hey thanks. Fact is, everyone who doesn't know my real age thinks I am 20-25; I look very young (and act it) for my age.
