I must be the only person in the world who routinely forgets their own age.
Having passed all the legal milestones for societal permissions, I just don't keep track anymore. I find it so much more informative to define myself by my achievements in life, like my honours, or work experience, or the upcoming marriage.
I guess I never thought about it before, but I think I finally transcended that point when age is so important. I barely remember Kevin's age -- in fact, I needed to use a widget to count forwards from his birthday (you know you're a nerd when...). When faced with the fact he's here with me for life, however many years he is senior to me just pales in comparison to the rest of our lives.
