Since I am 36, I guess I can live with this.
You Are 34 Years Old
34
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
What Age Do You Act?
Nice to know I am not totally a wash.
You are 29% Sketchy
How sketchy are you?
I really think one is a little off the mark.
You Are a Snarky Blogger!
You've got a razor sharp wit that bloggers are secretly scared of.
And that's why they read your posts as often as they can!
What kind of blogger are you?
and that about ends today's mindless Mems. I know, we are all breathing a sigh of relief. *smirk*
