I'm 43.* I have friends online from age 8 - 88.* Age is only
meaningful if you attach meaning to it. Socializing online is
different than "in real life".* Online we're free to express
ourselves using words, pictures, videos, opinions, all sorts of
things unavailable when just hanging out.* It's an even playing
field. I could be 14.* I could be 80.* I could be 8 with a good
vocabulary.* But I'm 43.* If it wasn't for the profile pictures
or me telling you, would you know?* And.. unless someone is
being ... what's that word with all the drama.. ah yes,
INAPPROPRIATE... what does it matter? I've always had friends
that were older than me and younger than me.* I didn't like most
people my age.* They were boring and sameish with a few
exceptions.* But that's my ageism at play :P* I like people that
'get me' and their birthdates happened to be before mine or
after mine.* But then again, I have a weird perspective on the
Universe.* The Twilight Zone has always been my home.
