category
on most questionnaires.

Your hair at some point in time in the 80's became something which
can
only be described by the phrase, "I was experimenting."

This timeline appropriately describes actual events in your life:
Star Wars opens, you are still in single digit ages, and you think
the
creatures are WAY cool; Empire Strikes Back opens, you are now in
early double digit ages, and you are convinced that the special
effects are much better, the characters are cool, and you want one of
every collectible out there; Return of the Jedi hits the theaters,
you
are now a teenager and you cannot get your eyes off Princess Leia's
breasts or Han Solo's butt.

But do you feel as old as you think you are is the question. I don't, but the body tells me otherwise a lot of the time. And it seems to be getting more worser. My English teacher would be proud of me.
