this won't make a whole lot of sense but come 20-30 years later it might. My pa told me this once when I was real young in high school and I asked him, he told me, I promptly forgot until last year.

But after 25 years old, you don't really care how old you are and you stop counting - except when everyone older than you and younger than you are getting the promotions - and you say to them "Hey , I know plenty about that". After awhile, your mind feel exactly the same as you were when you were 18-25 - but your body (and the whole world) goes to crap. You don't feel depressed or bitter about it. It just is and you just realize that you haven't changed much, you still want to eat, dance, drink, party and play the same - just your body says "No way, buddy".

So me, I am 25, but who's counting. In my mind, I am always 25 til the day they nail my coffin shut. Then we start counting all over again. ;-)

Okay, my turn, I guess. Just turned 32 a couple of weeks ago (close to the Captain's birthday!). Married, two kids (2 and 5 years old) - wonderful, too busy, life.

Got the Master's in Aerospace Engineering - never finished the Ph.D. Now I run my own little branch of an aerospace R&D company. Lots of fun - I work with plasma physics, hypersonics, microtechnology, and electric propulsion - yes, I'm a rocket scientist. And when people talk about Serenity's engines, I'm always VERY interested :) My dream? I guess I'd like to build my OWN Serenity...but that probably doesn't make me very unusual.

I notice everybody else is saying what university they go to. Well, not be left out, I go to Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. I've got a year left on my History degree.

I'm a 46 year old postal worker from philadelphia.
I'll be 47 on may 8th.

If history is remarkably clear on one point, its
that people don't learn from history.

*does the math in her head*

Okay, I'm 23...yeah that seems right. Graduated college last May...American Studies major (which means I can watch Firefly then e-mail my professors and talk about it's cultural relevance)...in-between jobs at the moment... I was working at a radio station but it's just not my kind of thing, so after a year of that I quit now I'm looking for ideas hehe.
