Hints which say you're getting older

[Blue]

Star Wars Episode 1 is 12 years old, for example. As I'm starting to get along with the years (I know by no means am I particularly elderly), there are definitely signs I'm starting to pick up that indubitably point out that I'm getting older, much to the chagrin of the part of me that wants to stay youthful.

What are some signs you've seen that make you think "Oh man, I'm getting older..."?

[ProHypster]

Wisdom Teeth.. haha...

 

No, what makes me feel old is when I have rational arguments with 40-50 year olds.

Actually, everything I do makes me feel old. I feel like I've reached my personality state I want to live with forever and am not going to change much at all.

 

Also, going to this forum makes me feel really old..... just kidding peeps

in my case would be getting higher above the ground. right now i'm at 1,81 cm tall, and according to the doctor, i'll grow another 9-10 cm before i reach 20 years old...

 

something tells me one of our young members' gonna say "my dick's bigger". i utterly find many of you buggers capable of saying it.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (movie) came out in 2001, and the book came out (here in the U.S.) in 1998, and the fact that I've seen all 8 movies, and read (and own) all 7 books, all of this makes me realize just how old I am.

The fact kids today don't know what a vinyl record is makes me feel old.

No, when you're truly getting older you're going to prove it by saying "My dick's smaller"..... not that this was important to post.... wth am I doing...I'm acting old again aren't I...

When you remember the Challenger disaster. How you were watching the live broadcast of the launch and stared in disbelief at the screen, as that beautiful machine just blew up, killing the brave souls inside. That was a sad day.

 

Still, if there's anything that can be called a glorious death, that would be it. Flying on a roaring pillar of fire towards the heavens, just for the sake of exploration and knowledge, as part of the most noble, bold and glorious endeavor the human race has ever attempted.

[ProHypster]

Glorious death or not, it's not going to make them feel better.

[J.C.]

Actually, I disagree. I would feel better about giving my life for such a cause. I've seen enough foolishness and horror over the past three and a half decades to know that.

 

Mind you, this is another sign I'm getting older. I now know there are things worth dying for, not because of young idealism, but from witnessing so much nonesense that I've come to realize what is truly important. Getting my priorities straight, you know?

Cartoons from 90's were better than this days. They are old, others think, they has twenty years.

Someday I'll be telling somebody about STS-107 Columbia, or the Inauguration of Obama. Or 9/11.

[alphabetagamma]

I truely am unbelievably selfish. I know it, but I don't do anything about it. Basically what it is to be 16 I guess.

[Otto]

I wasn't very selfish at 16. At least, not that I was aware of. Too busy working, studying and taking care of babies. (not my babies, just for the record)

Sincerely, I would love to die in a great giant explosion looming in the earth's skies with millions watching. I mean, not in a "Let my heroic Death be known to all!" kind of way, but it'd be just such a fantastic way to be gone. I guess I often think of awesome ways to be killed off, all of them generally for something, rather than of something.

[Axeldeath]

You think younger you was stupid.

Nostalgia

[Koach]

i still remember my old days... when i wasn't utterly obsessed with muskets and black powder... and when i didn't own a string powered gun...

 

i like to reminisce those moments and think "what happened to me?"...

[Pinkie Pie]

I think my personality is slightly older acting than the norm for my age, though that could just be me having a big head. (A rare thing I assure you) Bbbuut other than that 15 isn't quite that old.

Last time I talked to my cousin, his favorite game was Black Ops (this was before MW3 came out, I'm sure he switched to that now) and he didn't know what a Nintendo 64 was.

I'm 16, but by god, if that didn't make me feel old.
