Hannah the Elder
Last week the Miami Alumni Atlanta Chapter had a social event at a restaurant in Buckhead. There were alumni there from all grad years, but the crowd seemed to skew a little young. (i.e. Kids who graduated in this century. I guess because it was Thursday night in Buckhead?) Because I'm on the board I have a permanant nametag that is bright Miami red with my name and grad year. (1998 for those of you keeping track.)
I was sitting on a bar stool next to my friends Steven '03 and Blaine '99, when this guy walked over to me and asked if I was the one who put the shindig together. I told him yes and he introduced himself and said that he'd just moved to Atlanta and had just graduated last spring. He leaned down to look at my nametag as he asked, "When did you graduate?" As soon as he saw the '98 he stood up quickly and said "...Oh!"
Oh. I laughed and said, "Oh yeah it was forever ago," or something to that effect and he countered with "Well, you don't look it."
I think this makes me officially old. A 22-year-old guy basically told me I was old, but assured me that I don't look it. Thank goodness for fake compliments and small favors.
(All this after a 35ish-year-old attorney told me he thought I was someone's daughter when we were in Puerto Rico. I suppose it all just reinforces the theory that age is relative. I'd like my relative age to remain 29, thankyouverymuch.)

When your hot, your hot. Why didn't you take either of those guys, who obviously were attracted to you, back up to your room and boff their brains out. When you got done, you could have then told them that you want to get some sleep so they need to 'hit the road'.
When their jaw drops open then you can give them the old "It's hunting season, so don't let the door smack you in the rear on the way out."
