jducoeurNormally I take in stride that my habits and associations aren't typical for my age. But sometimes it gets really striking. Check out the age distribution chart on the stats page.
Okay, I'm not exactly at the bottom of the chart. But that bell curve is getting pretty thin by the time it gets to me. Which doesn't actually bother me, but it's always a little curious to have one's own peculiarity shoved into one's face.
(I'm also struck by how atypical my crowd is, in general. I know a lot of over-30 LJ users, and it's interesting to realize that we're collectively a statistical anomaly...)
