I'm older it seems. (picspam)

[spaggel]

So, this sunday I turned 23. Which well, is the age where nothing happens. I almost feel let down. Its not like 18 or 21. Or even 19 in which I could enter the sketched out quarter porn booth shop. Er.

Now I just... look older. OLDER THEN I AM IT SEEMS. For I was in a situation in which people referred to my 17 old sister AS MY DAUGHTER D: D: D: D:

*CRIES HUGE TEARS*

I would like to prove I do not look that old... OR I DO.



Look at this radiant face, SMUG YES, BUT A RADIANT FACE D:



I can also look... like a drunk poser :| i would like to point out that yes, my kitchen does have dark wood with LAMENT PANELS D:



but in fairness i get to show the really bad side which is...



I only look like i'm going to kill you and eat you because I am hungry.



also three pieces in two days to get done. Er.

You don't.


Sadly you also look nothing like your creations ... well, maybe a little bit in that last photo.

:D


Well, I really DO. I just choose to not post those. I mean, it's really for your safety. I take one good picture out of a million and i have a lot of bad ones :|

YOUR BAD SIDE IS AWESOME. A++++

Maybe your sister looks freakishly young? Or there was bizarro lighting? Or maybe the people who suggested it were really, um, not good with faces?

Happy Birthday! Ah, 23. The memories. Do you have that early 20s ennui? Take heart! My life started to get a lot awesomer towards the end of when I was 23 and has remained awesome so far (~2 years).

Its the one i use to go tell the neighboors to STFU at 3am :|

I have no idea. We look almost exactly alike, except you know, she looks younger. More like 15 I'm sure. The wee babe that she is.

Thanks! I do, I also realize that all of a sudden I have a shit ton of wee young friends. They are all, "oh hey, yay, gonna turn 20-21 soon" ALSO now that I'm 23 I'm starting to notice that all the people I went to school with are married with babies D: D: D:

Wow, you look like a slightly crazier Lauren Ambrose! (That's a compliment - she's v. pretty in my book.) And as a wise old crone of 28, I have to break it to ya that you do start to look older as you GET older. It is tragimical.

But whoever thought you were old enough to bear young should either get glasses or get hit upside the head.

thanks :"> Yes, i mean I always knew that but then I was never ID'd in bars till I turned 22 (er... yes underage drinking I was a professional) It been a step backwards and then far forwards It seems.

I mostly just did a gapping fish mouth at her and then turned away.

I also just turned 23 two weeks ago, and am feeling a little lost and bereft. Seriously, what do you do with this age??? It just feels like the most pointless birthday EVAH. D:

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

BONDING. Yes, like were do I go from here. Have I really reached any goal at this point? NO. Maybe most people are... just starting families? D: I CANT DO THAT *PANICS*

Bwahahahahaha. I want to have pancakes with that last picture. She looks fuuuuun. You have gorgeous skin, madame.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

That is really how i look a good 80% of the time. *_* and thanks! It's like a payback for how crappy my skin used to be... then I got body shop. I <3 bodyshop.

[sgkoneko.livejournal.com]

Very beautiful pictures.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

Well, not to disillusion you or anything, but I am exactly twice your age and I can therefore tell you that you are a baby. An eeny, teeny, tiny , still wet-behind-the-ears baby.

Srly.

And you look like a very cute one too!

Hey! Happy belated birthday!!

Nice to see how you look! :) Yep, even with that last photo... :D

23 and people think you're much older... yeah, I'm sure that's frustrating. But the other way round isn't much better. I will turn 29 soon and people always think I'm younger, which isn't a compliment at all, because they think I'm MUCH younger, like 17 or so! Last year at an election someone asked me how voting for the first time was like for me - hello, I voted for the first time when I was 16!! Similar things happened in discussions about my driver's license (which I have for eleven years now) and in other situations. Maybe when I'm forty I'll be flattered when people think that I look like 18, but not now at 28, when I want other people to take me seriously! Grmpf.

i managed to be asked by my 11 year old cousin's scout troop (yes, a whole group of young boys...) if i was his mum. i was FOURTEEN. that pretty much scarred me until i was 24 at school and was repeatedly asked by fellow play-cast members if i was a first year. *grins*

other peoples' perceptions can be distorted... i think it may be television...

YOUR BEAUTIFUL AUBURN HAIR IS AUBURN AGAIN!

You look kind of like Geena Davis - which I hope you think is a good thing. (I do, cos I think she's gorgeous:-)
