In the awakenings archive which windtree so kindly sent me, I've discovered a post (Nov. 1999) in which I refer to my last car as "Elbereth". Now that I see this, I remember having done so, but still it amuses me that my current car's name is "Hasufel".

GET OUT OF MY NAMESPACE, MR. TOLKIEN!!!

HEY! I do, what of it? (Laugh lines, that is. They're not strong, but they
are there. I figure it's a good thing, because it means I laugh more than
average, if I got them so soon in life.)"


Mind this is October 1999, when I was barely 21.


Nothing has changed. (to quote an mst3k icon out there)


By which I mean, I can't speak for danodea, but my own wrinkles have only gotten barely stronger since then, and it's pretty much the same ones - laugh lines. I'm 28.5 and I still get carded. People seem still to have no good idea what age I really am. I don't think people mistake me for a teenager anymore, as they used to, but then I've not recently asked. OTOH I am noticing more silver hairs now and then, but I think they are cool. I yank them out so I can look at them and verify they are silver, not because I don't want them in my head.
