it's cool tho, which is why we do these things, right?

Re: not as old

NO - that didn't help
I'm a LOT younger than my age, trust me. And I don't act it at all (except when working but that's different). Nor do I look it which is an attribute that runs in the female side of my family - we all look at least 10 years younger than we are.
Besides which, I've gotten past the age thing a while ago cause I realized a lot of people in slash were a lot younger than me (although there are those who've been slashing longer and are older - like those in the Trek fandom).
From:
Re: NO - that didn't help
I've never reall looked my age. I've looked sixteen from age twelve through nineteen. Then I started looking nineteen, and since getting the crew-cut, I look about twenty-five.
Heh.

No - no! Not in the middle of two A-Team Stories and the plotting of their future! Then again, who knows (not I!) where that S&H story came from. I jsut woke up with it out of the blue and it woulnd't let me get back to the Team until I wrote it.
I think someone else said it on my friends page today (ciegae) that age is a state of mind and I agree with that and have said that numerous times myself. It's not the age itself but the experiences and how they're used in context. Some people older than me just won't grow up and use their heads in a logical manner and some people younger than me are on the same footing as I (or older sometimes). I mean, look at
So therefore age is relative...
(and if the Sheriff of Nottingham says "Cousin, Cousin" in my head one more time I'm not sure what I'm gonna do!). (slash them prob'ly)(deep evil slashing with eye of newt involved). :>

Re: RH PoT
Oh man - I'm still at work trying to go a dry borng option agreement and slash thoughts are flitting through my head and I'm gonna go home and watch that movie tonight (which I've seen like a hundred times anyway).
I'm not sure I'll be able to do Robin and Will but never say never and I'm not making promises, ok?
But there may be some Sherrif and cousin stuff in the future....
(I'll just leave Jes and Face on the table -- ha ha, table them? -- in the kitchen for a while. I'm sure neither of them will mind in the least)
