Good god I am old.

[Michael Swayne]

I graduated high school in 2005. I am currently 24.75 years old (well, in 4 days I will be that). I may be older than some of the people here, but I don't feel old.

I found that exercise and proper diet keep my body young. Learning constantly, puzzles and video games keep my brain young, and surrounding myself with older people make me feel young.

I am the second youngest employee at the paper. But the youngest employee is constatly complaining of feeling old. She hasn't slept a full night since the birth of her child.

There are some moments when I feel my age. It's usually when the bills are due. If things in my life hadn't gone how they did (read the first entry of my journal), I would still be living with my parents. I have had to grow up in a short amount of time because of these events.

Want to know something funny? My sister and I did those "How is your body?" quizzes that tells you, based on your diet, exercise, and activities, how old your body is. Well, my body is currently still 17, while my sister's is 41. My sister has only just now turned 20.
