Well, this was timed interestingly

From the altfriday5:

1. How old are you?
Twenty-four today, as it happens. Of all the dates to pick this topic....

2. How old do you feel? Why?
Hell if I can put a number on it. I feel years older than most people my age, but I still don't feel like an adult yet. Sometimes I wonder if I ever will.

3. How old would you like to be? Why?
Old enough for people to take me a little more seriously. Maybe thirtyish?

4. What was your best age? Why?
5. What was your worst age? Why?
That sounds to me like "at what age were you the best/worst person." I think I'm continually improving, so I guess 23 would have to've been my best age and zero the worst--though I admittedly went through a few bratty phases as a kid, I don't remember them all that clearly. If the question really means "what was the best/worst year of your life," any of the years since I started college might qualify for best and worst, really. I mean, yeah new friends and lovers and finding myself and all that, but also depression and dropping out of classes and taking too long to graduate and having no money....

Then again, I can think of even shittier things I've been through in my life--but then yet again, every time I think of those parts of my life I can't forget the good bits either. I guess I'm really just not prepared to peg any part of my life as outstandingly better or worse overall than any other, even though I think I'm slowly getting control of my life and may in a few years have swung it into the "unequivocally good" zone.
