: : I am so friggin immature, but it seems like every day brings more signs that I am getting older. It sucks. I'm 30... will be 31 in december.
: Immaturity is part of who you are, not a result of your age.
: : 1. I got carded for cigarettes. when I went to reach for ID, he laughed and said he was kidding. how is that funny unless I am 72 years old?
: Seriously, if you had his job, you would be looking for ANYTHING to break the monotony, even if it is the same joke over and over.
: : 2. I don't know half the people on music award shows
: They'renot worth knowing if you don't know them.
: : 3.my hair, getting gray
: Cool. Not falling out, at least. You had your time for colored hair, now see what kind of hell you can raise with gray hair.
: : 4.Young people look younger. Like, a 17 year old looks like she may be 12 or so to me
: That's not you. Girls are dressing and acting younger lately, in order to take advantage of guys with those kind of likes.
: : 5. More and more of my anecdotes begin with "10 years ago..."
: Exactly. And that's not a bad thing. You had your time to be twenty. Now's your time to be thirty. Now, you have those kind of anecdotes. the same anecdotes ten years ago would probably be pretty lame, because you hadn't actually done anything yet. Now you have done stuff, and you are still doing stuff. Kick some ass, man.
: : and a ton of other stuff. make me feel better and tell me stuff that makes you far too aware of your aging ass.
: I'm 17, so I can't say, but again, what is the problem with getting older? Unlike cigarettes, this is something that everybody truly does, and far more better things come from getting older than getting younger.
