12. Do you act your age?

I will quote a wise person: "you can be childlike all your life and you will make yourself and those around you happy, or you can be childish all your life and make everyone miserable." I like to be goofy (er... actually, I have no choice, I AM goofy), which some people interpret as immature, but I like to think I am a mature person with a light heart.

13. What do you think is the ideal age?

I don't have one... when I was a kid I thought of hitting 50 as being the ideal time of life, when I'd have my life all together and things would be in place. I don't think that's necessarily true anymore... I guess my smartass question would be, ideal for what
