What makes you feel old?

[purplerose]

When I had out my old walkman, I collect casette tapes from thrift/charity stores. Having my 18/17 year old sister and cousins ask what it was that I was holding. I'm 27 so it is just hiliarous.

The other day I saw photographs on display of last years grade 12 grad students and thought OMG a lot of those girls and a few guys were puddings or had no muscle tone. Then thinking of my grade 12 class and all of us were on the fit to skinny side. Plus the fashions compared of 2002 to 2010 haha. Embarassing.

Hey, Happy Birthday, Smokey!
Welcome to the sexy and sophisticated decade!

The only thing that makes me feel old is dry skin.
Well, that and the fact that I just can't comprehend why anyone would want to text when they could just say the same thing in a phone call?

When my 19-year-old son calls me because it reminds me that I have one old enough to be working full-time, living by himself, and making his own decisions

There is seriously a generational culture gap on the technological front, particularly with texting. I truly don't understand the appeal at all. But then, I'm not even a big fan of cell phones. I have one with only the most basic features and I barely use it.

YES! Me too on that one.

I came out of Topshop last year moaning that I didn't want to dress like Lady GaGa so there was nothing in there for me.

The only thing that makes me feel old is when 16/17/18 year olds dont want to chill with me because im not "down with it" .... urrrrm, yesy i firggin am!!

EDIT - That didnt make much sense, i dont "chill" with teenagers, but its not the point
