* I've begun to shout at kids, and shake my fist at them in a menacing manner when they kick/throw stuff into our garden.
* Thinking garden lighting/water features would be a good idea, and going to the extents of making sure they match the colour of the shed.
* Actually worrying about the garden!
* Not being able to drink as much as I used to
* Wanting to go to quiet pubs, so I can talk to my friends.
* Realising that wanting to pull 18 year olds is a little dirty.
* Having conversations with people about stuff in the 80/90's and realising that they are too young to remember.

Reading posts from 18 year old's makes me feel old. Especially when they are full of "prolly's" and relly's" or "haxorl33t" ( etc) with ascii art of cats and god knows what.

I realised I'm old when I had to call my mother and check how old I am, because my calculations ended me up as "zomgfossile" by my measures.

Well friends getting married.
Remembering where I was on 9/11
Hearing popular songs from Junior High and having teens say "Thats Old School"!!!
Remembering when Nirvana was still together.
Seeing 80s' cartoons come back.
Getting podded by noobs I helped train has to be the worst one for me. I usually log off and go into a depression for 3 days,drinking Jack Daniels and cursing at god.
Damn I am only 20 and I feel like im 40,I need to work less and procreate more.

Commanding ~110 people in a fleet on an online game when about 90% or more of them are 10 years older than me makes me feel ancient..
Also : a few ppl in my corp/alliance thing are about 17-20
constantly being reminded that im more mature than them makes me feel old:

I have a girlfriend with a three year old girl (not mine though). The conversation the other day went something like this:
"Go to your room." "No." "Go to your room now!" "NOOO!!!" "1! 2!..."

Edited by: Dracorimus on 04/07/2005 13:35:52 Realising that I'm a lot more reserved about certain things compared to my friends.... Liking classical music, and thinking this new stuff is rubbish... Remembering how silly I used to be when I started gaming 10 years ago and insulting everyone that could beat me LOL... Sleeping for an hour after work on the couch 
This from an earlier poster rings true also:
* I've begun to shout at kids, and shake my fist at them in a menacing manner when they kick/throw stuff into our garden.
* Thinking garden lighting/water features would be a good idea, and going to the extents of making sure they match the colour of the shed.

"Your only as young as the woman you feel"
I was 31, a few months ago I took this mans words to heart and instantly lost 10 years! 
But yeah, I felt old when she said "I remember hearing this song 10 years ago in my first weeks in secondary school", I replied .... "I won't tell you what I was doing 10 years ago!"
10 years ago in school ....boi, did that make me feel old! Darwin 4tw

Hmmm, things that make me feel old. *20 year olds posting old threads *18 year old girls who I think should cover themselves up *I like a nice quiet bar (pub for you euro's), alway's did tho *Can't really think of anything else, oh yea not being able to remember as much
Things that make me feel young, you need these more than the old things
*Getting to the beach by 6 am to surf *Watching saturday morning cartoons with my son *Having sex with with my wife atleast 3 times a week *Knowing I have alot more in my future than in my past
I like my fathers reasoning on age, he has 10 grandchildren and can keep up with them all btw. "Getting old isn't that bad, it sure beats the alternative"
I'm only 26 and still can party like a rock star. You "youngens" need to get out and live before you really DO get old. When that happens it's too late and you'll be saying I wish I would've done......when I was younger. Lack of preparation on your part does not constitute greifing on mine |

Edited by: Jean''Marie Balestre on 08/07/2005 02:35:55 what makes me feel old?
being a mature student, and the fact I was in art college the first time, when the rest of the students in my year were in primary school...
and having lecturers in university younger than I am. (well that and the fact that one of them's a cute redhead who's the almost identical to a girl I slept with a few years ago.... )
Friends who I remember having had their 3rd child "not long ago". and then realising the child is now a teenager.
when they have 80's nights on the radio, and people going on about how "retro and Cool" it is, when I'm sitting mumbling about remembering all the music the first time around.
When I have to get up in ther morning, and the crunching sounds from my neck, back, knees and other joints.
the fact I think that getting drunk and wasted on recreational pharmeceuticals is a bad idea nowadays. (the look I got in uni when I did'nt think, and commented "ah, but the <drug name edited> are just not as fun as it was back in 1989" made me feel old, certainly...)
when I realise I say things like "I remember when I was young"
the fact that my MP3 playlist is playing Visage, and I remember when the record was released on 7" single.... cos I bought it.
when I describe Eve as being a 21st Century "Elite" and people ask "what's elite?"
Leet Speak. Gah. Makes me want to bludgeon the "lol uR th3 Suxxorz" brats around the back of the head and kill them for the murder of the english language. (and not kill 'em ingame....)
The fact I can't understand how to answer a mobile phone. or make it work in general.
or understand why people think they're essential. we did'nt need 'em before, after all.
Goths. When I was young, we used to wear leather, rubber and fishnet, and made out clothes ourselves, thought that the Sisters and 'Neph were great, and that Sigue Sigue Sputnik were going to change music. Now, they listen to Slipknot and wear spiked bracelets they buy in any old shop for ú3.99, and call themselves Goths. I remember the punk wars, and we went through it all, and they've never even heard of Bauhaus. bah.
yes, I definately feel old. (particularly when I see minigoths.)
on the plus side, being a mature student means I'm getting to sleep with 19-year olds again ...

Edited by: Uther Doull on 08/07/2005 11:01:39 what makes me feel old * being in the last weeks of graduation pulling 45 hours a week while i was used to go to only half the classes and still making it through college
* realizing i have about 40 years of office to look forward too
* Suddenly realizing the girl next door is actually pretty hot while i still remember her as a preteen
* then realizing that she's actually 6 years younger and that i shouldn't really be thinking 'those' thoughts
* actually agreeing with my father on most points
* going to the wedding of a cousin that's only 2 years older, and after that going to look at the house he just bought...
* thinking ppl in puberty should grow up
* disliking small kids unless they don't make any noise
What makes me feel young
* coming home at 11 am on sunday morning after partying all night
* playing eve with a bunch of guys older then me :P
* my parents thinking that the music i listen too shouldn't be called music
* having to explain how the mobile phone works to my mom
i'm 22

Old goths never died, we just discovered rave during '89 and fried oiur heads at illegal parties :)
plus: - Finding gray pubes, man is that ever nasty :( - Realising that not only is lusting after 18 yr olds now pervy, but that lusting after under 25 yr olds is pervy! - Also in additoin to l33t speak, the advent of text speak makes me want to commit crimes of a seriously violent nature. Especially when used on bulletin boards or emails. You have a keyboard! Use it properly you lazy *******!
lol
Mostly what makes me feel old is my weakening back & eyesight, my intolerence for previously acceptable levels of recreational pharms, and that my little baby brother has graduated from Uni and is most of the way trained to be a lawyer...

I remember the punk wars, and we went through it all, and they've never even heard of Bauhaus. bah.
I'm nearly 22 and I will see the Sisters of Mercy I was raised to be a proper young lady who knows who you mean with Neph ( Fields of the Nephilim) and the Sisters ( Sisters of Mercy, august 6th in Holland will be there)
Don't give up hope on all who look pale and wear alot of black

Originally by: Jean'Marie Balestre Edited by: Jean''Marie Balestre on 08/07/2005 02:35:55 what makes me feel old?
being a mature student, and the fact I was in art college the first time, when the rest of the students in my year were in primary school...
and having lecturers in university younger than I am. (well that and the fact that one of them's a cute redhead who's the almost identical to a girl I slept with a few years ago.... )
Friends who I remember having had their 3rd child "not long ago". and then realising the child is now a teenager.
when they have 80's nights on the radio, and people going on about how "retro and Cool" it is, when I'm sitting mumbling about remembering all the music the first time around.
When I have to get up in ther morning, and the crunching sounds from my neck, back, knees and other joints.
the fact I think that getting drunk and wasted on recreational pharmeceuticals is a bad idea nowadays. (the look I got in uni when I did'nt think, and commented "ah, but the <drug name edited> are just not as fun as it was back in 1989" made me feel old, certainly...)
when I realise I say things like "I remember when I was young"
the fact that my MP3 playlist is playing Visage, and I remember when the record was released on 7" single.... cos I bought it.
when I describe Eve as being a 21st Century "Elite" and people ask "what's elite?"
Leet Speak. Gah. Makes me want to bludgeon the "lol uR th3 Suxxorz" brats around the back of the head and kill them for the murder of the english language. (and not kill 'em ingame....)
The fact I can't understand how to answer a mobile phone. or make it work in general.
or understand why people think they're essential. we did'nt need 'em before, after all.
Goths. When I was young, we used to wear leather, rubber and fishnet, and made out clothes ourselves, thought that the Sisters and 'Neph were great, and that Sigue Sigue Sputnik were going to change music. Now, they listen to Slipknot and wear spiked bracelets they buy in any old shop for ú3.99, and call themselves Goths. I remember the punk wars, and we went through it all, and they've never even heard of Bauhaus. bah.
yes, I definately feel old. (particularly when I see minigoths.)
on the plus side, being a mature student means I'm getting to sleep with 19-year olds again ...
All that you have said rings soo very true with me. The only minor differences are:
I'm not a mature student (I'm an ex para)
My younger sister is having her third child this year.
My neck, back and knees crunch from the moment I wake up to the moment I hobble back to bed at night.
And rather than just sleeping with 19 year old girls, I married an 18 year old one (now 20).
"scotty, i need more power to warp out."
"i canna give yer any more captain, the dilithium crystal was nerfed this morning.. yer just gonna have ta face it, we've been ganked." |

Realising that my musical taste and all my best memories are firmly rooted in the years 1989 - 1994 then trying to talk to all these kids at work about Alice In Chains or early Nine Inch Nails and realising that they had only just started primary school

Edited by: Raindrop on 10/07/2005 23:05:04 What makes me feel old is: Bumping into old 5.25 inch disks in the attic and realising the dates on them are 20 years ago. Almost weeping because the data on them is now corrupt. And there is no chance that i'll ever be able to play Pooyan 36 hours long without intteruption because i'm better then the game can ever get and there is no pause button. (C64 4tw)
2 weeks ago i sold my moped. My racer, my baby, my ehhh 15 year old? omg sell it!

I live in Miami Beach, but across Biscayne Bay, in MIAMI, it's "friends from middle school getting pregnant...while they're STILL IN middle school." And I'm NOT joking or exaggerating either. That one doesn't work around here.

Zhuge if that is true then you rock.

Soo tru! Ya know what!? They have a (last time i went anyway) a C64 and a ZX81 in the Science museum in London!!!! Now that made me feel old!!! All the C64 needed was an Action Replay catridge 
Did you ever see the old 40gig disks that were in AS/400's? They were HUGE! I even saw one IBM enginer take one of ours out of its rack and drop it ... yes DROP IT .... from waste hight and *BAM* it starts working again! Don't get disks with stuck arms like that any more! 
And speaking of "racer" my lil' Yamaha R1-z (i like to leave out the -z when talking to people) has just died and taken its final blow. Not as old as yours (only 1994) but she was a bootiful lil' 2-stroke commuter.
We are both way to old ...  Darwin 4tw

You would know that you were not, in fact, old, if you were quick-thinking enough to respond, "That's okay, there's room for two in that seat. Just a little stacking, that's all that's necessary." And you would know that you were, in fact, young, if she took you up on the offer.

Does it? I have a hard time thinking of the place I go every morning as a "career". But maybe that's just cuz I'm on contract and I actually will be planning to leave within a few months... ___________________________________________ ^^^***---All things serve the Beam---***^^^ GDBT is recruiting! |

Showing off my grandkids. Worrying about my cholestrol. Calculating how many years left til retirement. Going on cruise vacations. Going to or watching golf tourneys on TV. Explaining to others who Jack Benny was. Remembering when certain TV programs were announced, "In living color" like that was special. Being 50 years old.

My brain not working quickly anymore also makes me feel old
