do i seem old to you?
i used to have this problem where everyone thought i was younger than i really am. like, people would give me kids' menus/try to sell me kids' tickets to movies when i was in college, someone thought that a friend i was with was my babysitter, etc... but, strangely enough, now i seem to be having the opposite problem

i'd better pass on friday--since i'm a vegetarian and a nondrinker, nobu's and bar hopping would be totally lost on me. :-P (also, i have kung fu saturday morning, so i can't stay out late friday.) i'd love to see you saturday, though. batcave would be fun! i miss going dancing with you guys! sunday i'm going to coney island, which you are totally invited to. let's talk soon.
which musical are you seeing? i have seen embarrassingly few since moving here... recently i've seen avenue q (which is amazing!) and an off-broadway show, shockheaded peter (which is WEIRD...) let me know if you enjoy your show--i'm always looking for recommendations.

apparently, not only do we share a brain, but we share age-defyingness too!
3 years ago a woman in a store asked me why I wasn't in school (she thought I was in high school) and a man in a clothing store thought my friend was my mom (she's 2 weeks younger than i am)!
But I don't get that anymore either. I was thinking grad school had worn all the youthfulness out of my face or something.
Maybe there's something different about the way we carry ourselves now - yeah, maybe we're more worried or preoccupied or just less "deer in headlights" looking -- I know I looked lost and confounded most of the time when I moved back to the US. Maybe we just look tired. Tired = old?

i wonder why people (esp total strangers)feel it necessary to comment on your age in public. like, "what difference does it make to you what age i am?" (unless they're trying to sell you alcohol or something.) race too. like i hate it when people come up to me and are like, "are you japanese?" arrrgh.....
hm, maybe i'm reading too much leslie feinberg. i started reading TransLiberation (which is about exactly what it sounds like it is about), and ol leslie is always going off about how people keep asking her/him if s/he is male or female... like, who cares?
anyway, don't let those virgins wear you out. i'm looking forward to being extremely immature with you soon. maybe we can sleep in a tent! :-P
