I dunno about young. I'm 36 now. I know, I'm not 90, but I'm also not 20.
And how in the hell did this thread get to be about me anyways?!?
However I would have to question whether your intention is to impress or intimidate. It may be an unintended consequence of simply wanting to speak your mind about things. It shows insight for you to recognize that consequence.

Originally posted by SuzianneI have a team of specialists studying your photo, and they've already reported back to me with this observation:

Your head (in the photo) is tilting at the same angle as supergirls.
coincidence?
Results from a facial recognition program are inconclusive. Do you have a more clear or recent photo of yourself? By the way, just so you know, we're doing this strictly for the purposes of scientific research, and not because we're all a bunch of lonely heart-sick nerds...
