I just turned 37 four days ago. People always mistake me for much younger than I am: my age has been guessed to be anywhere from 17 (just the other day!!) to 32. I have very dark hair, and have been going gray for a while; luckily, the gray is mostly underneath, so it's not very visible. Soon, though, I'll have to start colouring my hair. I have decent skin; in fact, while I have no wrinkles, I still get the occasional zit! Is that fair at my age, I ask you?? I'm in pretty good shape physically; I work out, so I haven't gotten "middle-age spread" or anything like that. But what really affects how I look, and how old I look, I think, is my level of happiness. I have 2 photos of myself taken just days apart; one was at a gig (I'm in a band) & one was on the way to a family function (a good one, not a funeral). The family function-me looks like she could be the gig-me's mother. I kid you not. (Spilling my guts here:) The only thing that brings me any real happiness here is my band, and to be honest, it's not enough. I must move to NZ and/or Australia (but I think NZ) as soon as possible!!! Not because LoTR was filmed there, either, but because when I was in NZ & Aus, both countries felt like home to me in a way that the US never has. Since I've been back in the States (almost a year & a half) I've felt desperate to go back home... to NZ & Australia. Anyway, to bring this sort of back on topic, I feel that being here, unhappy, is aging me! Well, if you've read this far, thank you for "listening"! -Alicia allywag67@aol.com www.thewagband.com
