26 is BLOODY FANTASTIC! You meet the best men ever when you're 26, and the most fascinating women. Also, all of your clothes finally look good on you and you work out the secret of the perfect minimalist make-up. You'll love it.
I never understood the whole "lying about one's age" thing. If I was to actively lie about my age, I would say that I'm **older**, not younger! I think if one says they are "39" and they look more like "45", then that is an UNFORTUNATE thing to be. But if one says they are in their mid 40s but look like they are in their 30s, that's AWESOME!
I'm 33. I know a couple of 30-somethings that say they are in their late 20s and it boggles my mind because they LOOK over 30, but look a few years younger than their real age... but because they say they are 29 or 28, they don't get compliments on their looks based on age.
Everyone thinks I'm younger, so they're surprised when I say how old I really am. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not, if I act and look younger than I really am. I'm mature, really!
When I was 18, I used to get asked if I wanted a kid's menu. Now everyone is always jealous of me cause I look like I'm still 18/19 (turning 24 at the end of the month).
/eta: 2009 will be a good year as far as I'm concerned for one particular reason: next July Big Finish is releasing an Eighth Doctor audio-anthology featuring stories with selected companions, including for the first time Izzy from the comics, Fitz from the EDAs, and Benny from the NAs, all on the one disc. Excited Brewster is excited.
I quite liked 26, actually-- I moved from Buffalo, NY to Bristol, UK and did an MA in Archaeology and Screen Media. The academic programme was horrible, but the rest of the experience was great. Hopefully, yours will be even better! :)
That first one was cake compared to the Detroit-Cardiff move of '07-- arranged in 3 weeks, including the visa. :P A week for a coast-to-coast is EXTREMELY impressive, though! :)
