Paperboy Posts: 28 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | I'll never be old or admit that I am. It's my worse fear. I'm 21 by the way and I'll stay youthful and live forever. :) |

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. |
Vault Legend Posts: 2205 Joined: 30 Jul 2008 | 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. |

Paperboy Posts: 49 Joined: 22 Jul 2008 | 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. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 74 Joined: 12 Nov 2007 | When I was talking to a co-worker and mentioned i had a birthday in a few weeks, he asked how old i would be and when i told him he said "Oh right, so you're nearly dead then." Cheeky git |

Paperboy Posts: 12 Joined: 22 Aug 2008 | 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!)

Red Guard Posts: 4931 Joined: 14 Oct 2007 | I feel old whenever I'm around people who act younger than I do. Which is rather often. It's weird. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 109 Joined: 30 Jun 2008 | 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. |

I'm only 16 and I know that I know that I'll be old when I actually have a reason to start one of these threads. |

I'm 15 and have avoided the online community until recently like the plague so i'm over ignorant, even for a newbie. |

This. Though, I still find it hilarious to put things on my head to see if I can make them balance there, and then stare at myself in the mirror to see how I look with it on my head. My latest one was the cardboard packaging for a 4 pack of Smirnoff Ice bottles. I'm not quite sure if I feel old. I indulge my 'inner' child a fair bit. But then, I also have taken to getting grouchy if I don't get enough sleep (like...really grouchy shout at anyone who disturbs me grouchy) and I'd prefer to stay in and have a quiet night than go to a club and dance the night away. I know I'm limiting my chances for sex with this, but I much prefer a quiet, or at least, quaint, pub atmosphere to that of a rave club. Am I 'old'? Maybe, but either way, you can take your revoltingly sticky floors, overpriced drinks, eardrum blowing 'music' and stale air and shove it up your arse. I'll have a pint of ale, barkeep. |
