3rd. i have 4 i have to search for, but they're always nice to run into. use to get so excited when i'd find one that i'd pull it out to show bf, which would leave me with no greys. now i just look, pinpoint longitude and latitude and log in grey hair inventory book.
bad thing about getting older: worrying about skin texture and tone, but that's girl stuff.

It's guy stuff too, if you're vain; I guess I am.
I like being older better than being a fucked up and confused younger person.
The accumulation of knowledge is nice also.

14The grey hair thing was genuinely shocking to me. I'm 35 and I'm pretty certain I had none before Christmas, now it seems half my facial hair is grey - or more accurately, white.
It doesn't seem a part of me yet, it's still fascinating to me that I have these things that would more befit an elderly deck-hand. Strange.

I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back.

15I'm mostly grey now which is cool. No bald spot yet, plus the hard paunch gives me a little bit of Stanley Kowalski menace.
I don't find most younger women sexually interesting anymore which is convenient for not only myself and my wife but the young lady in question. Also, although I'm no less of a know-it-all I don't flaunt it like I used to (EA posts notwithstanding).
I enjoy having adult children (18 and 20). They have enough of me in them to make our conversations fascinating and strange (it's like talking to myself but more idealistic). I feel like I've done a good job with them, which is a great feeling.

17Not being broke all the time! Still surprised how little money it requires to buy all I want, never miss gigs, afford to go out for a beer with friends.
Not having to lie as much (just to get along in life).
The confidence that comes from achieving a few relatively straightforward tasks.
Realising how many good things (say, all of them) are bad things in disguise.

18-Being able to communicate better/more easily
-Acquired tastes
-Not running around like a headless chicken all the time
-Being sober most of the time
Fear of homelessness/mental insanity/terminal disease is NOT going anywhere anytime soon though.

19My life seems to be getting easier as I get older. Probably because I get marginally less stupid each year. Plus I earn a lot more now, which makes things a lot easier.
I'll be 24 this year. Shitting heck!

This won't last. It's normal to reach a peak of un-stupid-ness around 25. Then you start regressing again.
I’m a pretty gutted about the grey hair thing. A year ago I had a dark beard, then shaved it off – recently I started to grow one again and it’s fugging going grey… almost all of it. I still don’t have the grey anywhere else. Just the damn beard.
Apart from that, getting older is ok. I have more money now – I can normally get to the end of the month without freaking out about having money spare.
