When did you know you were getting old?

usually between 11 and midnight. saturdays i'm usually up later, but then i sleep later too. and there's probably one or two days a week on average that i just stay up too late and feel like shit the next day.

 

Yeah this is a big one for me. I dont have a clue about new music anymore, pop or any other genre

I also used to keep up with fashion, now I just buy classsic styles that hopefully will look fine for at least the next decade so I dont have to worry about paying attention to trends

 

And also my shoulder is seriously fucked up and i'm definitely being a stubborn old woman right now about going to the doctor. I dont wanna

 

that's pure youth right there. the old folks i know practically live at the doctor's office.

 

I think I was born old. I never wanted to get out of bed. Always had to have a nice cold pillow. Was always a bit grouchy and didn't trust doctors or anybody.

 

My back hurt so bad yesterday after work that I wanted to cry. It was like one massive charley horse. No way to walk it off either, I just had to lie down and let it pass on its own. I think this will be the major issue in my old age. I'll be crippled as fuck, leaning on a walker, unable to climb stairs or pick stuff up or bend over. Still beats the thought of losing my mind though.

 

But when the mind goes... you can't remember all the other stuff you can't do anymore.

 

By 'losing my mind' I meant going crazy. That's the way my dad went and it scares the hell out of me. I've started taking care of my mental health already to hopefully avoid it.

 

I'm excited to see my aunts tomorrow. Maybe that means I'm noticing getting old.

 

hopefully by that time, we'll have truly useful bionics or even completely artificial bodies. 'That's gramps. He opted for the schwarzenegger model, does whatever he wants, and all he has to do is eat a tube of nutrient paste for brain function, and everything else is rechargeable batteries. works 20 hours a day, and says he's got 'full sensation', whatever that means... all I know is gramma's looking a bit sleepless these days.....'

 

When people younger than me complain about how old they are.

 

When you realize the groundwork is in place and if you don't make a bloody go of it now it's your own sodding fault.

 

When every actor and actress in a movie is younger than me

 

i caught a glimpse of a commercial today on tv

couldnt figure out what they were selling...bearing aids it said on the screen but i could barely hear it

wtf is a bearing aid?


and they kept showing old peoples ears




i think my eyes are getting bad

 

Naturally your body slows down. I'm not as flexible, it takes longer for my body to recuperate or heal. I don't train like i did while i was in my prime years.

 

when the parents of anyone young enough to be sexually interesting, weren't born yet when i was their age.

when even the parents of anyone old enough to have a responsible job or a family of their own weren't born yet when i was a 20 or even 30 something.

when the parents of anyone sane and sober enough to carry on an intelligent conversation about anything remotely interesting weren't even born yet.

or maybe even their grandparents.

 

I think this about sums it up: =

(or maybe 'just me then!? )
