Are pagan names "in"?

Loki is one of the major deities in the Norse pantheon. He is a son of the giant Farbauti ("cruel striker") and the giantess Laufey. He is regarded as one of Aesir, but is on occasion their enemy. He is connected with fire and magic, and can assume many different shapes (horse, falcon, fly). He is crafty and malicious, but is also heroic: in that aspect he can be compared with the trickster from North American myths. The ambivalent god grows progressively more unpleasent, and is directly responsible for the death of Balder, the god of light

30 IS old. You can not trust anyone over 30 :)
Spirit Coyote

Maybe it's old if you're only going to live to 35. I plan on making it to at least 80 maybe even 93, (not uncommon in my family), so really I'm not even halfway through life yet, at 31, and know relatively nothing compared to how much I'll know later on. And YOU, Spirit Coyote, know even less at 25 or however old you are this year. ;)

30 is indeed old.

40 is ancient.

50 is decrepit.

I think naviguesser is implying since I wasn't really there that I didn't grow up in a drug culture.

Furthermore, that "hippies" dropped more acid and did more hallucinogens than people did in the 80's.

At least that's what I hope he's implying. ;)

feeling young
I turned 24 today and can see that most posters on this board are my elder.

I just started posting on this board about 2 months ago, and I am still a TT trip virgin.

I guess that makes me a TT youngster..I plan on going on one soon though, but I have been some what hesitant to venture off on one due to lack of funds. Splitting gas on a trip sure does help. I went to Mexico with some friends last week (2300 miles) and only spent $35 on gas.

I just got back from Big Bend NP and Mexico.. fixing to post pics. Hope you guys wanna see em!
