In light of the rampant "OH GOD I'M SO OLD!" paranoia on Tuomas' The kids who were born when I was a teenager are now teenagers themselves. thread, I think we should come clean, so we know just how silly we're all being.

I was born on 15.05.1979, in a hsopital in Exeter.

Now your turn.

Melissa, wtf, man, ten yrs apart. Actually a day less!

Zora, I don't know about the need... Well, yes, I do. Sometimes I want to ask: Was I not an accident? They always tell me I wasn't, but how much are they telling the truth? Does it really matter? Not much, I realize, they loved me and I'm here.

Don't mind him. You can't.

Stop frightening people, Onimo.

Sorry. Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid.

Friends Reunited allows you to search by name. Obviously you can only find people who have registered, but that's rather a lot of people.

― onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, I was an accident all right. But loved, and you're right Nathalie, that's what matters.

― Zora (Zora), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry. Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid.

Hmm, now you mention it, it does occur to me that all anyone needs to do now is find out my last name and they can get my birth certificate and have a passport issued to themselves in my name.

On the other hand, I doubt it, somehow.

I was born at the North Middlesex Hospital, Edmonton, London at 4.10 am on the 17th October 1970. My mother was apparently told that she "got a lot of doctors out of bed". It was apparently a difficult birth, involving forceps delivery and my mum needed stitches and was kept in hospital for a few days longer than is usual.

My mother was told by her GP, a Doctor Seifert (isn't there an astronomer called that?) that was due on the 1st October. She thinks that she was given (up the) duff information deliberately coz she and the doc didn't get on. My mother attributes this to the fact that when she first visited his surgery when she changed doctors when my parents got married, she enquired about a photo on the doctor's desk.

"Is that your wife?" Mum asked.

"Yes" the doctor replied.

"It's a rather old picture isn't it?"

"Yes, but how did you know?"

"I could tell from her clothes"

"She wears clothes like that now."
