1. Would you be offended if someone guessed you were 7 years older than you are?
Oh hell yes.
The last picture I saw of you was on Wotmania, wearing glasses and smiling... now that mental image is combining with an angry glare. It's quite fearsome.
2. Do you think people assume "professionals" have to be older than 24?
yeah definitely. here, most people don't finish University until they are around that age. then again, other's start working at 18, so you'll never know.
I guess it never occurred to me to assume someone in my field doing the work I'm doing has to be older than I am... I mean, it would make sense that a doctor should be closer to 30 than 20 when he's practicing medicine... but political work doesn't require any advanced degree.
3. What would you do if someone guessed that far off on your age?
Pretend that it's okay and secretly plan my suicide.
Not acceptable! No suicide! *smacks your nose with a newspaper*
4. Is it better to be perceived as your actual age, or to be perceived as older/more mature? Is it better to be perceived as younger?
I prefer to be perceived as younger, which is usually the case, thank God.
Lucky.
5. I should just get over it, and realize that one guy is bad at guessing ages... right?
True 
I was Phelix on wotmania, I will always be Phelix in the "real" world, and now I am Phelix on RAFO.

If they turn 22 later that year, I'm counting them as 22. Just a little rounding. *NM*

I try to hold off on aging... it's odd to be still in my BA while 24 years old.
