The "things that make you realise you're getting older" thread

[Section_31]

when new people enter your social circle, i.e your mate gets a new bird, and you look at them and they've got the beginnings of crow's feet. And you think "bloody hell she's a bit old", but then you're told they're the same age as you.

Uttering the imortal words "when I was young" to the kids and meaning it.

Watching new years eve on the TV and being happy not to be in the middle of that lot.

When your missus is happy to get anti aging cream for christmas.

The painful realisation that your love handles are not going to let you get away with skinny jeans.

Buying a pair of comfy jogger bottoms to wear around the house and regretting not doing it years ago

The fact that when it turns new year, you say to yourself

 

'Shit I'm x years old next year'

 

Btw I'll be 21 next year...fuuuuuuuu

Young fool. Only now, at the end, do you understand.

When you go through your clobber and realise that you have nothing 'fashionable' in there. Its all v neck jumpers, polo shirts, jeans and the same two or three pairs of Adidas you've been buying for years (in my case Chile 62', Sambas and Stan Smiths).

 

Then you decided to freshen it up, by buying slightly different coloured Adidas than you would normally risk, t-shirt's and tops that aren't just plain or stripped; and jeans that aren't those ones from gap or levis that you just find comfy.

Growing your hair - even though you don't suit it - purely because it's warmer.

Add to that, the main factor in coat buying is not water proofing followed by a good lining; and wearing fleeces for pretty much any occasion.

 

When I go down the pub these days, I could easily be mistaken for a polar explorer who got lost and popped in for a beer on the off chance.

When you see there's a new posts post on this thread and get excited knowing it's probably something else you can relate to.

I got loads, especially in my hands at about 27-29, but then they just went.

 

Haven't had any in years. But then again I do wear gloves pretty much all autumn and winter now.

Walking into electrical shops and thinking "what the fuck is that?"

 

Looking at PCs before and one said on it "this PC has a touch screen". I got a flashback to the first time I saw Star Trek the motion picture, realised I was about three at the time, and then left Comet swiftly and in a mild state of distress.

My cousins 21st is tomorrow night and its for over 18's. It feels unreal that I can go.

I'm only 17 and already balding...joy!!

[Spy Bee]

I actually care to much about stuff and I'm becomming more conservative (with a small c) by the day. It's actually a bit depressing, but it's better than being that sad 50 year old we all know who still thinks he twenty!

Na, more a fan of the Skrtel look. Don't wanna be accused of burying my skant-haired head in the sand!

I find myself shaking my head in a RK way at some of the shit the young lads come out with at work.

I find I'm becoming increasingly 'aware' of my knees. They don't hurt as such, but for the first time in my life I know they're there and that they're a finite resource. They're always there now in the background, like white noise - they speak to me subconciously and say things like 'best take the lift just in case.'

[Uncle_Meat]

I might have mentioned this before, but curling up in bed with the cat, a good book and a cup of hot chocolate is sometimes infinitely preferable to fucking the arse off Auntie Meat.

 

Less work for the hips.
