What makes you feel old?

[yourbriness763]

~ thinking about my "twenties"
~ transitioning into my "thirties" (I'll be 31 next month)
~ not being able to go out & stay out all night but looking forward to sitting on my couch doing nothing
~ when my b/f tells me our house is like a library (I don't like loud noise anymore)

I could go on forever...turning 30 was & is still hard for me, as lame as that may sound to everyone else...1/3 of my life is over, I'm not married & have no children [/SIZE [FONT]

When skateboarding videos I watched obsessively as a teen are re-released as classics.

When I have to really talk myself into dropping cliffs on my snowboard that I used to drop repeatedly every time I went to the hill.

gray hair.

lack of hair on my head.

new hair on my shoulders.

foot pain.

Try being in high school and seeing that happen to old friends!

I feel twice my age!

seeing Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Nick at Night.... I still know half the episodes by heart and can sing the theme and its on nick at night...

Also seeing people younger than me getting married. But that also just makes me kind of angry but then very happy. Angry because My BF and I have been together for so long and have yet to even get engaged (we are 22) but happy knowing that we know each other so much better and have been together for so much longer (6 years) than 90% of the people we see getting married.

Everything.

Many of the song titles on the guilty thread, and I have no idea what they are talking about (admittedly, I never really listened to mainstream music much, and tend to listen to weird stuff, so maybe I have an excuse???).

When you see those "oldies" music compilations on commericals, and realize that you remember those songs! Thanks a bunch, marketing execs. You just made my day.

DH just made a great point, though: he said he's love to have his body back, but then again, his mind is a lot "bigger" then when he was young, that is, he knows so much more, knows how to solve problems better, etc.

When I feel old, I just think about my older cats--in CAT years, they are a LOT older than me!
