Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least you have your health.
I will personally kick you and your smart mouth off my lawn.
Watch your back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I wish I looked a bit older, just because it seems like a lot of people will look at me and treat me as a teenager, and it gets aggravating.

Now that my grey hair is beginning a geometric progression, I find that I actually like it better than when I was younger. But I'm well aware that the angle I look at myself in the mirror is by far the most flattering viewpoint available. Which leads to much scurrying whenever someone cracks out a camera, to avoid wincing at the results later on.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh, sweetie, I SO hear you. It hasn't been until the last couple of years that I have finally looked old enough that that is less of a problem. No one ever understood why I was so excited to turn a year older each year.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I saw a pair of med students in the elevator today who just made me sad -- no, really. Two young women with stethoscopes and resident IDs at the ready, weighed down with patient records and dosage crib notes and scribbled rounds notes bristling out of every pocket, and both of them shorter than Hil and slender and wispy looking, with the kind of ageless faces that when coupled with short and slender totally read as "twelve, thirteen and a half tops." Looking at them, you could just tell that they were trying extra hard to dress like grown-ups and look fierce and old and that the next person to crack a Doogie Howser joke was going to get an unpleasant surprise.
The timing of this whole conversation is weirdly charming, given the thread title.
