Want to feel old, longtime web surfers? Salon is turning seven years old. Seven years old. Whodathunkit?
I also had an image of my own mortality today when searching my Eudora archives brought up an email I’d sent in September 1993. Man, turning 27’s been rough.

*sympathizes* it sucks to be in our 'late 20s' doesn't it?

Most of the time, I can't even remember how old I am. "I was born in 1975", that's what I tell people when they ask me how old I am. I don't know, makes me feel yonger and older at the same time.

Enjoy the ennui while you can. Once you hit your 30s, you're expected to be a *little* more responsible.
