Im 17 and working to pass a few exams and I've just discovered that in 10 years (not so many when you think about it) my life will, effectively, be over. I have to say, I'm glad that I found out now, rather than waiting to find out what all the fuss was about, only to find that that was actually it. Wow. You see, this is why my mother shouldnt let me surf the net alone...</p> Jesus.

Don’t worry too much about being 27. Where I come from, you’d hit old maidhood by the time you were 21. I’ve been there for 4 years now and haven’t sewn rocks into my skirt quite yet.

Now if only I weren’t allergic to cats…
