Quick Question – Five Seconds of your Time
January 15, 2010  |  Blogging

I have a quick question for you.

Technically two.

And it will take you five seconds to answer.

Ten seconds, tops…if you’re a slow typist. :)

Are you male or female?

And what’s your age?

(For disclosure – I’m a female, just in case the ultra feminine “FlowerDust” didn’t give it away…and I’m about (gasp) to (gasp) be (gasp) thirty years old next month.)

    I would have never thought you were still in your twenties (that doesn’t have anything to do with your looks, by the way), but your thoughtful writing leads me to believe you have wisdom beyond your years.

    The thirties aren’t so bad, once you get used to them. ;)
