Whilst on my trip to the toilet just then, two things I noticed that made me realise I am getting old;

1) I needed to SIT on the toilet despite it being a number one, god I feel like a woman and

2) Came back down, was quite thirsty, got a drink, walked back into my (lovely) dining room and saw that I still had a full glass from before.

Anyway, last day as a 34 year-old. I can't say "early-30s" anymore...

You're officially old when you post on a message board saying that you think you're old.

or people who say they are"crazzzzzy". If they were they wouldn't have to say it.

Either that or someone said it and they repeat it every five seconds, like a parrot.

Making that "oughr" noise as you sit down, or the "oouph" as you stand up.

Crazy bastards deny it.

Students who wear trilby hats and act 'kooky' need putting down. If I ever turn out like that, you have my permission to track me down and shoot me. So contrived, and above all fucking unfunny.

Do that constantly.

I also have the short term memory of a small pebble, my cd collection is mostly from the 50s-80s and I still like buying vinyl.

Fuck me, I'm 14 and I'm older than most of you lot. I also have an array of small aches and pains.

What about when you consider having a sit down as an actual activity?

You know... what are you going to do now?

I'm going to have a sit down.

Oh, we'll have some good yarns about the old Kop and the boy's pen soon, don't you worry, Blert.

Adam, I must be the most active person in the land, then. Does lying down count?

I'm going the pub now see you all later..

Doe's that sound old?

evie · « **Reply #29 on:** August 18, 2005, 07:44:40 pm »

well someone pleeeassse tell me what I can do that makes me look older.
YES! Older. Because I got one hell of a slap in the face today. I was on a make up course when this snob woman in a snobbish part of Stockholm told me she thought I was 13 or 14.

And I'm 20 ffs
"Oh nooo, I'm so embarrassed now, I thought you were 13 or 14". How fucking unprofessional is that?!

She told me to see the positive sides

the positives??!
I was soo humiliated.

Garstonite · « **Reply #30 on:** August 18, 2005, 07:46:52 pm »

Wait until you're my age, you'll want to look younger. Perhaps not 13 or 14 as that is a bit wierd, bt nevertheless...

Open the fridge and put the coffee jar in and put the milk in the cupboard. I've always had bad memory, but thats just senile. I feel a sudden empathy for Bobby Robson.

Oh, the comparisons between toddlers and pensioners...

You're OK aren't you, though?

I sat watching a pair of teenagers snogging on a bench the other day (I was waiting for someone

) and thinking wouldnt it be nice to have a proper snog like I di back then, now its just a couple of compulsory pecks before you get down to the good stuff. I miss snogging.

Also, I just dropped my car off at my house for Eve to use whilst I went to take Jen on a driving lesson, not only did I take the car keys with me but I also managed to leave the keys in my nans 5 miles away, now Im off again with Jen to pick them up
