Thank you. ^^; You don't need to write me anything - I'm horrible at reciprocating. Really. And birthdays tend to stay off my calendar for some reason. I'll make a note, and then completely forget about it until it's waaay too late. (Although if you feel like writing AkuRoku to please the Gods of Yaoi, I certainly wouldn't object.)

(nods) Yep. What's the point in worrying about something that will happen no matter what you do?

If your parents look young, maybe the gene carried over. Even if you don't care about your looks, feeling physically young longer must be nice. Even if age is just a number, it can't be fun to have knees going out and stuff.

..."in this state"? I sense a story.
