Have you done it much? Apart from in order to get into bars/films, cause that's boring. Why?

No, I lie about my age all the time, I've told people I'm everything from 15 to 30 in the past year. I just like to get the reaction, sometimes it backfires but other times it's pretty funny. Like I said, we're all compulsive liars around strangers, my social group I mean, we make up random shit just to see how much other people will believe and take for granted. I spent about 3 months introducing myself to every man who hit on me as Lorna. I have no idea why, it was just funny. You take certain things for granted, "Why would they lie about that?" So you can pretty much make up any random shit and people will take it.
I also like to go to clubs when I have absolutely no plans of meeting anyone and talking in a British accent and calling myself Anastacia. No one questions it.
I never lie about my age, but on Thursday (which is my birthday - did I mention that) I might forget and get it wrong.

Actually, he probably told her once, and I corrected her a year later. I doubt they talked about it very often.

i often get charged child fares on the bus though, and i never bother to correct the driver. so i'm not really lying about my age, just taking advantage of the situation of cheap fares.

YES I am now paranoid.
Mark S, what are your feelings about 27?

OH MY GOD I am never leaving the house again. It must be the outside air that does it to me. Do I dress older too? Do I talk old? DO I post old? This is ridiculous. I am going to buy some anti- wrinkle cream.
Mind you I knew how old you were before I met you. Who knows, maybe I'd have thought you were FIFTY.
