Sort of a poll? Age of users and skinners. Is there a skinner out there younger than I am(21)

Who is the youngest skinner and who is the youngest user

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 by RobJK | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

     I just though it would be cool to find out who on here is younger than me. I have found that every single person that skins is older than me. Even screen shot people? I also wanted to know about non skinners. Users that just download others work. I know I can look on peeps sites but it would take a long long time!

 

So If you would like to participate....If you are under 30 years of age state your age and if you skin or just download?

Example:  Robjk 21 skinner

                ryan23ks 23 downloader\dont skin

No lieing about your age if you dont want to share your age then just ignore me. I am doing this to see what the range in age for wincustomize users. I think in a way it would help me in my future skinning

I am an old man (63) but a young skinner, I started to learn 8 months ago, does that make me eligble for this thread?

32 / semi-skinner here.

I was kind of surprised at the number of "older" people involved in skinning when I first came here. But it does help to make it a nicer community.

Ah damn.

Scratch that. I forgot I turned 33 a few weeks ago.

Stopped celebrating when I was 16 so I often forget all about it until someone reminds me.

55 in a few days and still relatively 'grey hair free'...NOT DYED, either.

My sister, on the other hand, is 3 years younger than I and is totally grey without her 'brunette from a bottle' fix once a month... hehe.

Don't have that problem, either..hehe!! Up until about 5 years ago, my (not grey) hair was 3 parts the way down my back, and (when not combed/brushed back) my fringe came down past my (dare I say it) nipples. Didn't shave much, either, so I was frequently referred to as the 'Wild Man of Borneo'

It'd still grow that long if I were to allow it... but I tired of the 'Captain Caveman... er, Yeti' look, and now favor the more conservative clean shaven look... tho I still have the natural resources/hair to go all heathen/piratey if I want to.

*** In Oz this is called skiting...hehe ***

And really...thats pretty much all you need to know! Find something you like to skin and have at it. I started doing the docks because I saw the library was seriously lacking in matching skins...didn't know anything about graphics or any of that stuff...just dove in and started doing it.

Oh...and 54!

Growing up can be a bitch....

Responsibilities and all that crap....

"16 tons, and what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt...."

It ain't all bad, really....

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Floyd.....[Time]
