Evidence that you're getting oldYouthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

I'm 25I go to the mall, I freak out when I see these girls dressed as little whores, then it turns out most of them are in fact 18 (or at the least 17, and close to?). They make me angry. My daughter's 4, I don't want her dressing like that in 10 years.
I realized that other people much older than me are just having their first child, etc. I already have a four year old.
I'm on my second marriage.
I go out for a smoke at college, and realize that most of the kids there smoking alongside me are about 8 years younger than I am.
Our professor asked if anyone knew who David Byrne was. I eagerly raised my hand only to turn round and discover that I was the only one, and that not even mention of the "Talking Heads" raised any sparks of recognition in these people.
I *know* I was only born in '79, but I have a friend who was born in '84, and it freaks me out for her to mention it. She's no longer allowed to do so.
On the bright side, I get carded for *everything*. On the downside, I also get hit on by 15 year olds, to whom I politely explain that "I'm AN ENTIRE DECADE OLDER THAN YOU, GO AWAY!!" *sob*
On the downside, I'm losing the ability to pass off dumb mistakes as immaturity/naivete. On the bright side, I'm too young yet to pass it off on senility.
