Sympathy Please

Due to a mishap in hair dyeing (literally hair dying), I have unfortunately been mildly classified as an emo. I can probably still pass up as a teenager? :D I used to hate it when people checked my ID but as you get older perceptions do change. I still remember dad telling me that one day I'll appreciate looking young and now I concur. I remember a few years back when I walked by my dad's side as he was watching TV and he sighed and said, "oh these kids sure grow up to be 18 sooner than you think." and mum calmly said, "I'm pretty sure she's 23 now." Looking back even further, if I followed my old man's memory and stayed in primary school as long as he believed I was in, I probably am just graduating from high school this year. Man, gotta love them.
