As for your other question, then no; I wasn't dating her at the time. That would have been a bad thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only “old” guy here (I'm 40!!! WAHHH!!!!). However, I keep being told that I look 35… That can be a really bad trait. One time, when I tried to get into the dog racing park, the security guy there demanded my ID (I was 20 at the time, he thought I was still a minor). He even thought I might be using a fake ID ‘til his supervisor confirmed that I gave him an actual drivers license. I hope you young people don’t have to go through that…

I hope I don't find myself in the same situation that the husband of a certain famous Canadian singer is in right now… that would be scandalous…

I have the opposite problem, I'm always mistaken for someone older and that's somtimes just as bad as looking younger. Contrary to popular belief among my friends, it is very disturbing to get hit on by 30 year olds.

well… 30 year olds acting like 20 year olds in utes wolf whistling at everything that moves.


Although, I can totally get into clubs if I wanted too, but I don't, ‘cause the clubs can’t handle me right now.

When I was 15 I could pass for twenty easy enough, I always got told I look older than I was. These day I get the opposite which is odd but I won't complain.

I always figured that a person would look older than they are because they're so stressed out. I guess that's not true. I'm very laid back, so I guess that's why I've got this curse…

Heh… I'm so laid back that I don't even hit on women, which confuses my coworkers (who are mostly men… or women who act like men). Then again, given my bad luck with women in the past you can hardly blame me… Especially since they're all taken one way or another… but enough about that…

Well… time to go to work. If my current supervisor has his way, I'll work every night of the week with no days off and at the same time not earn overtime. I'm not going to follow his “order” to circle a vehicle three times to verify its make/model/color as that would require me to enter a tenants living space; my job is to put them at ease by doing my job and that means not doing anything that would make them scared or suspicious of me. Hopefully the company owner will fire him when she finds out what he's trying to get me to do… huh!?

Those people are cretins. They really are. But in the fine proud land of Australia they'll get mining jobs and be making $150,000 in their first year…
I love my country, but we've always had a very long tradition of rewarding cretinism. -Read some of the stuff written by early visitors to the Aussie colonies. Ah well.

Yeah, that ID thing is bothersome. I still have trouble convincing people of my age often. It was awkward in the US being asked for ID to get into clubs… Helps not to forget your passport. but I DO like looking younger than other people my age or younger than me.
It also depends on how you dress and act too, to a certain extent… That doesn't work for everyone though.
With the way I dress (jeans or dress pants and stuff) I've been mistaken for a young woman a teenage boy, an older woman, and even an old man once.
I think I could be a good actor. ^_^

at the ripe old age of 22 i was in vegas. I sat at one table for 6 hours, and was asked for my ID 7 times. I used the military one because no one ever questions it. After the 7th time i left it out on the table, which is pry why i wasn't asked for it anymore.

When i was 18, i'd be ID'd for pg-13 movies.

I don't like to think about my age in 1997, because it inadvertently makes me think about how old my current girlfriend was around that time.

…let's just say that the authorities would have been notified :(

Yeah, I think my boyfriend would have been, uh, about your age in 1997. Let's just say we've been mistaken as father and daughter before. :(

I'm thrilled when I get carded at clubs or buying smokes. One of these days my hard livin' is gonna catch up to me though. Unless I'm preserved by pickling. Which would be rad.

Im 27. One time though in an internet dating site, I chatted up some lady. She thought I was 50+ years old. When she found out I'm 27 she backed off. hahahahaha.

Age doesnt mean squat. Its whats between those ears.

I'm not that old though. I'm not even 30 yet. Won't be that many more years, though. :/

Nobody ever asks me for an ID, ever :(
But, people are shockedwhen I tell them I'm 30. They always go “I thought you're 25 or so!”

I'm 18, but I look to be about 15 or so. The long hair doesn't help, but at least my muscle and deep voice throws ‘em off ;D I’ve been told I sound like a 30 year old man or something before. Except I don't think 30 year old men use the word “bro” anymore. I use it often, bro.

I hate looking so young.

They should be kicked in the nuts if they do.
It's ok for people under 25…

HAHAHAHaha! That's right, we need mandated ages where you can use certain language.
-No one over 25 is allowed to use the word “Bro”
-No one under 25 can say “Man”… in this sort of context “Man, that's big fish!” etc.

…I don't think that will work.

SWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!

I was playing with the Icelandic genealogy book and discovered that I'm a direct descendant of the guy who wrote the Edda (granted, there are 20 generations between us, but I'm a direct descendant, none the less).

…

…for those who don't know what the Edda is, it's basically the closest thing to the Viking bible.

Edit: Ha ha ha. That means he's my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather. :Þ

What's the other most difficult language in the world? People keep insisting that my native tongue is one of the most difficult ones but I honestly think that's just us being braggarts.

Also, couple of other words for you to learn:
Baka = Idiot (learned that from Asuka yelling that at absolutely anything that was male and breathing).
Kokoro = Heart (it can be found in every other Japanese song; these guys just love to bring up that organ).
Those were my two cents.

The difficulty depends on what language you already know.

German for me was so easy, because english is a bastardized mix of germanic and romantic languages. english sucks balls because we have so many stupid rules.

Chinese is hard because there are a ton of different dialects that are practically another language.

I'm a bit taller than most when I stand up straight, my voice is deep for 16, and I keep getting a mustache. People sometimes mistake me for my dad on the phone..should I be happy about maturing, or panic about soon needing to be totally self reliant?
Been years since I was here. I've been at rehab since. So uh. Yknow, things got interesting.

Is there really that much people that think English is in the 10 hardest language to learn?

I always thought it was the easiest(simple verb tenses, no gender on noun, simple grammatical structures). I always saw it as a “short and sweet” or “simple but practical” language. Could that language be in that top 10 because it is a language that more and more people “have” to learn it, compared to other languages that are more complicated but you cannot really know until you tried learning it.

Although a language difficulty will often change depending on how you learn languages. My dad had an easier time learning spanish than english because he though it looked like french(our native language), and I though spanish was harder because it seemed more complex to me(and also because I wasn't so interested at the time because of a crazy teacher). Lately I started german, and I love it, and it looks a bit like english, making it easier to me.

What I mean is that it is really hard to make a chart of what is the hardest, because your motivations and the way your brain works around language will change it.

English is more difficult than some languages, like
double meanings and stuff, homophones i think and synonymns and stuff. also your tone matters a lot when you stay stuff because if you said well done like you meant it then you would be ok but if you said it sarcastically by accident then you might annoy sum1.

my english teacher was trying to de-confuse my class about the big Dr who twist, by using me as river song, my friend as amy, the mcintyre look-alike as the doctor and another classmate as rory. it was pretty funny.

Isn't it like that for every language? I don't mean to downgrade english saying it's easy or anything, I know that it can be hard, but what you just described is there in pretty much any language.
