I entered the timestream 43 years ago. I feel like every age I
   ever was and even the ages I haven't been yet or might never be.
   Never got the age thing. I suppose 11/12 but being in the middle
   age category doesn't bother me. The only age that bothered me
   was 20. I was like, "I'm not a teenager, I'm not really an
   adult: WHAT AM i?" But that's when I bought into the myth that
   age meant something for a brief time. Mostly it was 'cause I
   didn't know what category I was supposed to fit into. Oh, and I
   cried at 17 on a swingset in a public park at night. I thought,
   "CHILDHOOD IS OVER!" Bah. I was wrong. Only lasted one night,
   1/2 hour. I believed the BS briefly. I got over it and was fine
   the next day.
