When I went out to lunch after the ceremony yesterday, my waiter asked why I was wearing a lei*, so I told him I graduated. He paused before saying college and then apologized because I look young. I don't think I look 18, but maybe I don't look 22 either. I'm not sure if I think this is a good or bad thing.

*I was wearing a lei because my mom mentioned to a student in her dept. from Hawaii that I was graduating, so she mailed me a lei as a graduation gift for good luck.

I wish I felt young. I can count the amount of times I've been carded since I was 16 on two hands. I worked in a shop last year and had one of those mystery shoppers evaluate me. I was shown the results and I was described as a "tallish man of medium build with dark hair, late twenties." When I worked in a bottleshop I would have 30-something mothers with squalling children make comments to me such as "You know how kids can be, you probably have some of your own." When I was invited to a 19th birthday party by a girl in my Mandarin class my friend (who was 26) turned to me and said "Man, it'll be a bit weird for us eh? Surrounded by 18 and 19 year old girls. I feel a bit weird about going" I asked him how old he thought I was and he blinks and says "My age aren't you? 26? 27?" When I told him I was 20 he looked at me and without missing a beat says "Dude, you gotta moisturise or something! Start taking care of yourself, you know what I mean?"   

When I was 12 people thought I was 17. When I was 17 people thought I was 22. I'm 22 in October and people think I'm 28.

You all make me feel ancient.

Man fuck you guys.  I've been told on three different occasions that I "look like [I'm] fifteen."  I don't think I do, and it's kind of a bruise to my self esteem, but it means that every amorous escapade from jerks that I no longer like I can think of as sublimated pedophilia.  Wait, is that a good thing?

Barmymoo:
I went to a garden party today (disappointingly no big hats) and the woman at the door (no idea who she was) said "so glad you came, one more for my bouncy castle" which was nice and all, but the only people on the bouncy castle were three seven year old boys. I do not think that I look like someone who would enjoy bouncing with three seven year old boys, even if they are all wearing the same blue checkered shirt.

Anyway yesterday we got two kittens! It was a bit of a surprise, it was all arranged pretty much overnight. They are nine weeks old, and almost identical to the point that we have to keep checking which is which by looking under their tails. The boy will be called Moses and the girl Miriam, when they get big enough for colour-coded collars. At the moment they are just the Squeakers.

It's been a really nice, long-feeling weekend. Yesterday I had my driving theory test (I passed! 48 out of 50 on one section, 61 out of 75 on the other which is good since pass is 44) and bought some new clothes, and saw a carnival. Then the kittens came. Today was the garden party and afterwards I took the dog and the adult cat for a walk. We had to come back quite soon because the cat is not allowed to go past the crossroads at the end of our road, and he got all anxious and miowing when we left him. Sucks that tomorrow is college again but we have Tuesday off. It's meant to be a review day where we all go in for a fifteen minute "progress update" but no one ever goes, we just have the interviews some other time.

i look like i'm 14.  my boyfriend is 26.  it is pretty damn awkward when women start hitting on him in front of me because they think i'm his little sister.  it's probably even more awkward for them, though, when i nonchalantly grab his ass and kiss him on the lips.

also, barmymoo... you walk your cat?  is this normal?  because near my house in rome there is a lady who walks her cat and another one who walks her rabbit and i always thought that was kind of strange.
