Evidence that you're getting old
Youthful 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 saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time last night.
(I made it to college without ever having seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm such a square.)
So it's midnight, me and my people are all standing there with the big V's on our foreheads. And all the regulars, who are up on stage dressed as Frankenfurter and whatever, or standing out in the aisles shouting out the lines, were still in high school.
My group--all male except for me--had been warned not to pick up any of the girls here because they were all younger than they looked.
Afterwards, we all went to the International (ha!) House of Pancakes with this one group of people we'd met, only to have them leave early because the oldest was *sixteen* and their parents were waiting up for them.
#2. I've got a bad back. Doesn't actually make me old--it runs in my family--but you should hear me trying to climb up onto my top bunk.
#3. In addition to the home improvement shows, I watch a lot of Law and Order. I'm one step away from Matlock.
