When I was talking to some kid on the internet (on here I think) and I mentioned "Captain Planet" and he didn'nt know what the hell I was talking about.

Also when they started letting me in strip clubs.

I don't have time for this! I have to go buy a single piece of fruit with a coupon and then return it, making people wait in line behind me while I complain!

Although, I am already in my pajamas...

When I started complaining that things were better in subjective time of "The good old days". Oh, and when I started not doing things because I am comfortable where I am right now.

Also, That's hilarious, Starnerf.

The first time the sweet young thing cutting my hair asked "Do you want me to trim your eyebrows, sir?"

I'm not old. I may be in college, but I will always be a high school freshman at heart.
ya, I used to say that back in the day. haha. Well, I'd say "young", not high school freshman. who wants to be a high school freshman?

Now, though, I actually enjoy being slightly older. Stupid things just don't matter anymore.

They were selling Dual-Shock 1 through 3-shaped wings that fit onto the WiiMote/PSP/Classic Controller. I blinked, and stared, surely these kids could use a controller without the small wings on the bottom, like in my old NES/SNES days.

Kids? Old S/NES days? Ah hell. I'm not old, per say, but it does certainly give me a feeling of disconnection with the generation only a few years younger than me. Very alienating feeling.

And I'm only twenty, not old by any stretch. But I do feel like I've never really focused on the stupid things. Just, comment on them, like the above.

Two weeks ago when I was playing Castle Wars online and some kid pointed it out.

Naturally, I devastated his castle after that. Ha!

When dairy owners stopped asking for my ID whenever I bought booze.
(Insert sighing noise here)... I miss the scrutinisation

Edit: Of course it could just be that the dairy that I go to now days has a dodgy owner that want's to sell liquor to minors. Maybe.

When your friends get married, engaged and start having kids. That made me feel old and also lonely.

But those guys are suckers right, they may have a family that loves them but I have myself a whole bundle of disposable income.

I think it was when I started going into clubs and being one of the oldest people in there.

I stay home these days.

Ohh my..

I first realised I was getting old when I brought my new born son home from the hospital. Everything changed in an instant.

My latest knockback staying young forever...... my youngest brother (by 10 years) becoming a father..... for the fourth time (madness!)

First computer game: 3D Monster Maze - on the Sinclair ZX81 (great game at the time and ran in just one kilobyte of RAM!!)

I feel old whenever I'm around people who act younger than I do. Which is rather often. It's weird.

When I was younger I had a stomach like a goat. I could eat anything with no consequences. My favorite was Taco Bell because it was tasty and cheap. Taco Bell gives me the runs now, as does most cheap and greasy food. Sucks.
