I didn't know your age, but I new that you were older than me. I think you should be very proud of your age. I'm proud to be 21. I'm proud that I have lived the life I have so far, and I'm looking foward to everyday of my life until I pass on. But mostly I like the today part. It's the one thing I can really control. And I hope you feel the same. Numbers aren't as important as the story behind them. And yours seems to be a great one.

Hrm... I totally dig that we've got such a range of people on this forum. Most message boards or chat rooms tend to attract one demographic. Most the places I hang out at online tend to be aimed towards my demographic (college students) and thus that's who congregates there. On the RinkForum though, we've got an incredible mix of genders and ages. S.A.M. once said something like the target demographic of RinkWorks were people with his personal tastes. In some ways that's true; if we didn't like/find funny at least some of the things that he does we wouldn't likely stick around. But everyone brings something unique to the forum. There's also a nice lack of flamers and morons and perhaps the most varied discussions on any forum I've ever seen. I love it.
