About Me:
The major question on everyone’s mind after yesterday’s entry was:
How old are you Lan?
Why my age isn’t on xanga:
People judge other people everyday merely by how old they are.
My entries switch from mature to immature in a heart beat and to let each reader get the full effect of my entries I decided to keep my age ambiguous on xanga.
However, after reading the response on my last entry, I’ve come to the realizaiton that my real age can only add to the content of my entries not take away from them.
Curiosity killed the cat:
If you are reading this entry, you probably have already seen my writing and my pictures. So I’ve been wondering….
How old do you think I am?
The prevailing opinion seems to be that I am somewhere between 18-25 years of age.
So I decided to take a poll to answer the question above and I’ll be posting the results tomorrow with my real age.
[Note:] If you already know my age please vote on something crazy and don’t tell anyone my age until tomorrow.
After you vote, please let me know how old you are.
[Note:] If you are a lady who feels uncomfortable disclosing your real age, feel free to let me know what age you’d like to be again.
Clues:
1) I grew up playing with Ninja Turtles & Transformers
2) I had my first taste of alcohol ever 2 years ago.
3) I graduated high school when I was 17
4) I’ve had 2 girlfriends my entire life.
5) My parents came to America (from Vietnam) in 1981
6) I am the youngest* of 5 children.
7) I’m a dirty old pervert.
*I have a twin brother so techinically I’m not the youngest because I’m 5 minutes older than him.

I’m a teenager…
I wish I was a fetus again.
Lan, you’re probably some old guy. I place you in your late to early thirties, only because asians age so gracefully. lol
i’m a young’n, only sixteen.
I’m 18.
And I have no idea how old you are.
So there.
oh, i just described myself!
which is exactly why i don’t have my age on there too.
but a twin?! wow. identical? don’t you switch places on us now. :rolleyes:
you know this is the exact same reason i don’t put mine up hahaha. why should age really matter? when someone knows someone’s age, they have certain stereotypes and prejudge you. from reading my page you might think i’m silly and stupid, but you only put out what you want ppl to see. and based on your clues, i’ll figure your the same as me….and dude, i’ve only had 2gfs my entire life as well hahaha! anyhoo, i plead the 5th on this question haha.
a twin? how cool, you should write an entry about that sometime…most people find that very interesting. I feel ancient.
K
i voted I thought you were about 24. i dont know, I’m not a good judger-of-ages. haha and thanks for the comment, btw. I know it’s a real superficial thing to get upset over, but it really did hurt my feelings. Glad you understand!
Oh yeah, I’m 18.
I’m down with the ninja turtles and transformers, and I recently celebrated the third anniversary of my 29th birthday. A commentor above was right, asians are lovely and youthful looking for a long time after the rest of us so I put you at over 25.
twins rock!!!
hmm.. i voted but i think im wrong
we’ll find out tmrw i suppose!
and how old am i? :laugh: maybe you already know. :thumbsup:
:hug:
sorry. i really like your little pictures! :xmas:
:yawn:
you’re really 24 but your parents put your birthyear as one year younger………. just because.
there was no voting button for that.
i’m 24/23
I’m freaking 28 year OLD OLD OLD.
Nice to have a twin brother isn’t it? How is it like?
i think you’re 22-24. i picked 24 LOL. i’m 21 but my bro’s friends think i’m a 14 yr old vietnamese girl. =P
dirty old pervert, huh… you must be ancient.
I like to be 21 again. Where there were no worries in the world. No bills to pay, work to be stress over, etc…. All I did was go to school for a few hours, then hang out with my beloved friends, and worry about what I should wear on the weekend when I go clubbing. That was the life!
lan sorry bout my entry and stuff that i said to you the other day. I think that you are awesome. I voted 4 you and i think that you are 24 if what not.
One of ur xanga fans
matthew
i reckon u gotta be 24 coz most of my mates who are that age played with tranformers and niga turtles back in the early 90′s……how toys were so popular back then compared to now where most kids pefer pc or xbox games! They dont know how to use their imagination!
Im 20..turning 21 in oct….i guess i wont start feeling old till i hit midway of 25…so that would be 23….funny how i thought i would of at least graduated from a university already!
ahhh, wonderful ninja turtles. i was one for halloween back in kindergarten
i’m 18 :ph34r:
Haha, I voted 22 years.
I’m a measley 16 years old :/
lol I’m 13. Oh me oh my!
TWIN? I NEVER KNEW!
im 21. im freaking feel old. i wish i was 18 again
hmm, i reckon you’re very close to 30 or maybe 30…
wow that’s hard to guess…but I voted 23 y/o
I’d like to be 16 again…but I’m actually the age of…what’s this year for again??
hmm 20/21? i’m 24 turnin 25 this yr :cry:
i have no idea how old you are but i said you were 21.. i turned 18 in january by the way
I’m 17… =[ I thought that you were 65. =] HHAHA
ahh now i see how this was similar to chris’s post
some clues LAN :-p
“1) I grew up playing with Ninja Turtles & Transformers
2) I had my first taste of alcohol ever 2 years ago.
3) I graduated high school when I was 17
4) I’ve had 2 girlfriends my entire life.
5) My parents came to America (from Vietnam) in 1981
6) I am the youngest* of 5 children.
7) I’m a dirty old pervert. “
everything on this list relates to me expect 4,5, and maybe 7..mwahahaha
i will guess your 20-23. i am 20…..making me an underage drinker but who cares
kiera
p.s. i miss Ninja Turtles & Transformers…those were the days
i can pretty much bet you’re not younger than 25 because since you graduated college, you would have to be 21+. and you have a job. so i’m thinking older than 25.
I’m 15 and i will stay 15 until christmas eve. =)
you spend waaaay too much time on your fucking xanga. you need to get laid or something. or get drunk… or high.. or buy som shrooms and trip… something man.
I’m 17.
I’m guessing your 22? I’m 17.5
im guessing you’re still pretty young. around 19 or 20?
uh i dont know. /shrugs
how old do you think *I* am? =x
I’m 15. I feel young. Everyone else is in their twenties.
Isn’t is wonderful that Asians look younger than their actual age? People still think I’m between 21-24 when I’m really much older than that! Atleast I know I’ll look ravishing at 50 thanks for my Filipino parents! And you’re also a twin too? I’ve gotten involved with two sets of twins (not at the same time you dirty old pervert!) and they’re trouble. BTW I’m still alive just very busy!
wow you have a twin? tahst unique
i always wanted a twin i gues sit to late now lol
anyways i guess 23. so we’ll find out tmr?
mmm, well, I voted 23! I like your blog, it’s very interesting :wink:
i voted 24. i’m 18, young and w/ no boyfriends :hammer:
yeah i feel somewhat same about ppl basing ideas purely on other’s age. i would say yur a college grad. hahahaha
i voted you to be 22…? i dunno, haha well hopefully im right and i might win a prize or something. lol well im 18 about to be 19 in a couple of days. lol
i say 23….but, it’s true. does age really matter? age ain’t nothing but a chicken wing. :pinch: so, i’ve heard…
this is hard.
for some reason, i’ve always thought you’re older than me… and since i’m 23, i guessed that you’re 25. hope you’re not offended if i guessed older than your actual age! :tongue:
I’m 16…
I’m the oldest of 7!
*Terrian
you’re the same age as i am…cos this year is our year. and i’m guessing you’re 23…cos i think that’s how old i am. i’m bad with keeping up with age. i feel old because i like to watch Law and Order now.
I guessed you were 23.
I’m 15, turning 16 this July. (But, I get mistaken for being 12 sometimes. Odd, no?)
Eh, I don’t really care all that much about being 16. Won’t be much different from being 16, except now I’ll be able to use my driving permit. ^.^
<3
well lan…i think u were born here so i’d have to say ur probably 22? but if u played with transformers u must be older so i say u r 24. your parents came to the states the same time mine did. how wierd! :tongue: i am 22 also, it sucks cause all the guys that ask my age are usually younger than i…how dissapointing!
I guessed around the age of 21-23 .. and I am 18 woot woot.
:pinch: i think you’re 20 … just cuz i have the tendency to think that everyone is 20
im going to go with 21/22ish, only because kim n.’s birthyear is in 1983. And from that post a while back stating your daily routine there wasn’t school it in, so that means you must have graduated already, so you’re at least 21 or 22.
but who knows, maybe you ARE an old fart
your clues were funny and totally random…..i don’t think they help define how old you are….but oh well…
i guess 23
and i’m 21….yay… =P
i’m 20 =) haha u’ve gotta be about 23… i think
im 14! no jk im 20
seventeen. i feel like a magazine.
fourth grade. i don’t remember how old i was then.
but that was a great year.
You’re a youngion I remember…something like….23 or 22 if I can recall. Hey Ceal’s in town…but very shortly. And I am, approx…9020 days old. Wow. that’s it? Wow, that old? Yes. :innocent:
hmm.. i think ur in your twenties.. still have roomates thats why. and the way you blog is that of a twenty smthing year old.
i voted you were 23. as for me, i’m 23 yrs old. so when do we get to know the results?
Tis is so interesting. Haha. I’m coming 21…and never gonna grow older! Haha! :w00t:
basically, your third clue isn’t helpful…
i guessed you were 21; however, after I read your second clue, I thought u’re probably only 18…
ooohhh…i love twins! hehe i’m thinking you’re around 23-24??? well, we’ll see tomorrow haha i’m 21 but i’m too damn sheltered by my parents..maybe that’s why i’m still a kid at heart? =)
well i thought you are about 24. my sister did the turtle thing but it they stsrted in my late teens too so who knows. i am 33 but sometmes feel 16. the again sometimes i feel about 80. i understand your reasons for not wanting your age to public knowledge. sometimes you want to get to know people before you share that info.
102 is not on there.
FOreal, Asians age slowly. I would know, since I get carded at the mall all the time by the dirty security and I graduated from high school 2 years ago!! Anyway, I guessed 21 from the pic b4 I saw the clues. I must be close since that is close to my age and I watched the turtles too…
Oh, yeah. Did your ‘rents add the year in the womb to your age?
i’m 26. i’m guessin u r 23
ur entry bfiore about the kiss was amusing. lol.its cute. you look young.
i’m 22!
what’s there to do at 22? graudate from college? ‘cept i’m stayin’ for a fifth year! poo. i’ll be back! 
It doesn’t matter how old you are…as long as you have it all together:)
IF YOUR PITURE IS RECENT YOU COULDN’T BE OVER 21.I CHOSE 18.I’M YOUNG AND LOVEN IT.THE BIG 15!
can u gimme an answer to this question.. how old is your twin brother??
I’m 19 years old. I dont thinkage will make people respond differently to your entries considering that they are always hilarious and/or cute. Take care!!
I like your reasoning for not putting your age up on Xanga before. I already know your age, so I won’t spoil it for everyone else. And I am 17, though I think you knew that already.
I’m a twin too.. rock on. anyway, im 17
“and niga turtles back in the early 90′s…”
i think she forgot a few letters…
anyways.. i’m thirteen… *sigh* glad i’m still young…
23.6
i def was surrounded by the ninja turtle-transformer stuff….I graduated at 17. I don’t have a twin and i’m white as all hell. i’ve never had a gf but i do like boyfriends. I am a pervert. I don’t drink anymore. I am 19….everyone thinks i’m 14….my grandma died and all of her friends kept commenting on it. i voted 20…..if you’re 24 than you should have been past the whole ninja turtle craze….however….maybe i’m wrong….we shall see
I VOTED 24~AND I AM 23 NOW~SO I HOPE YOU ARE OLDER THAN ME~haha~
HEY…LOL I LIKE THAT…U HAVE MORE PEOPLE CURIOUS ON YOUR PAGE…INCLUDING ME :biggrin: IM 18 AND I THINK U 23…LETS SEE IF IM RIGHT 2MOROW
I didn’t know you had a twin! I’m twenty, so I really like your comment: “what is this year for again?” Amen to that.
i’m thirteen.
whoo!
wish i was five.
but to be honest, i don’t mind the age judgement…
Have a great spring break Mr. Lan.
i thought you were 22. :blink:
but i could be wrong.
i’m the 15.
lol
=)mucholove.
Hah. Well I let people judge my entries and then be surprised at my age.
i think you should be about the same age as me, only cause i grew up loving and mimicking the ninja turtles and transformers. woooot. yea, i’m 25.
i put that you were 23
and im 13
im waiting for my friend to send me the pixes from last nite ^_^
hehehe back twice in one day. i feel special. didn’t like the other entry figured i’d start over.
yeah i understand the age judging thing. i tend to do that sometimes then you have those people that surprise ya
:laugh: I am 18… and I guess you’re around the 21-24 age cause… erm.. I remember I played with ninja turtles too.. haha.. so you shouldn’t be as far off an age gap compare to me..
omg yessss people do judge others base on their age!!! haha everyone discriminate in one way or another >= but it’s live so what’s news right? but as for me and dating? yes unfortunately i havent been a date since forever! 1. my job & school are strangling me, not even enough time for my friends therefore no guy for this little lady =( 2. may be im just too picky?
