This afternoon, Saturday (23 Aug 2008), I went grocery shopping like I always do. Got my food, got my drinks, even picked up another bottle of white zinfandel to help me sleep at night (NaTasha&#8217;s suggestion, lol). Just so u know, I&#8217;ve never been a regular drinker, and when I was younger and heavier, I looked much older, so ID-checking has very rarely come up. <\/p>\n<p>But when that bottle of wine reached the checkout lady (she was cute for someone who looked to be in her 40s, possibly 50s, but definitely not absent-minded or elderly), do you know what she did? She carded me! Hahaha, yup, she actually asked for my ID! And for the reasons above, I think this was the second time I&#8217;ve ever been carded in my life! ^_^<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t know what she said. But when I realized what she wanted, I was flabbergasted, thinking &#8220;What?&#8221; and fumbling with my wallet. After checking my license, she smiled and said <em>&#8220;Thanks! You don&#8217;t look in your 30s!&#8221;<\/em> I said, <em>&#8220;I know, I get that a lot! But even if I don&#8217;t look in my 30s, I still don&#8217;t look in my 20s?&#8221;<\/em> She shook her head. Then I fumbled again; instead of asking &#8220;How old do I look?&#8221; I asked <em>&#8220;How old should I be?&#8221;<\/em> Obviously referring to the law, she said <em>&#8220;You have to be 21.&#8221;<\/em> But either way, I was dumbfounded. Hey Danny, I guess my raw Pop Tarts diet is the &#8220;fountain of youth&#8221; after all? Holy crap, lol.<\/p>\n<p>So to commemorate this wondrous occasion, an impromptu outdoor photoshoot mere minutes after grocery shopping. Hehe, yup, the exact outfit~ blue jeans, sunglasses, and &#8220;Girls in Prison&#8221; t-shirt, lol. With a couple of guest appearances by Guiness below, hahaha. ^_^<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3181_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3181_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3182_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3182_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3183_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3183_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3184_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3184_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3186_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3186_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3187_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3187_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3188_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3188_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3192_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3192_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3193_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3193_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3195_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3195_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3196_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3196_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3199_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2008\/xjaymanx_portrait_3199_600.jpg\" alt=\"Carded\" title=\"Carded\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freezing Time | Click to enlarge Hey, holy crap, listen to this!
