I try not to think about it - I sometimes think.. . **** what have I done with my life, I'm touching 30 and what have I got to show for it?! But then I realise that in fact for my age I've done more than most people have done in their entire lives so that's refreshing and calms me. However I don't want to get old, even though I accept it, I know I can't stop it.

I'm trying to appreciate life more, and trying and starting to enjoy being alive more... no bouts of depression for a few months so it doesn't bother me. At times it gets very dire though :/

Looking back, 30 is a great age

edit - hark at me lol

I used to be indifferent about it. However, having watched Still Game I'm actually fairly positive about it.

I actually feel like i'm wasting lots of time at University, it costs loads and i could be doing so much exploring/travelling/experiencing, but i suppose it may be worth it in the end. My mates are finishing Uni now i feel like i've already wasted years of my life since i'm no where near finishing... Hmmmm

I'll be able to get onto buses, sit next to random strangers and say far too enthusiastically... "OOooooo I haven't seen you for ages! How is everyone? That was a right old carry on wasn't it, who'd have thought, what happened in the end then?" *big expectant cheesy grin*

I do sometimes think I'll end up and old spinster with lots of cats.... but then I start thinking about other things as I have an attention span of a goldfish for things like that

I plan on becoming the next Heff. No need to worry about falling down with all those cushions everywhere.

I worry about getting dementia or something which leave me with all my brain functions but none of my bodily functions, I worry about going first or going second but I don't really worry about being old per se, it has its perks.


When I am Old
I will wear Purple!

When I am an old woman,
I shall wear purple - -
With a red hat which doesn't go,
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandles,
And say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
and gobble up samples in shops
and press alarm bells
and run with my stick along public railings,
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit!
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at ago,
or only bread and pickles for a week,
and hoard pens and pencils
and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
and pay our rent
and not swear in the street,
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner
and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old,
And start to wear purple!

You can always tell a womans age by the size of their handbag.. By the time they get to 60 they have baskets. Older then they are used to aid their walking!

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, but then I'm old already!

But seriously, it's only occasionally that I really feel my age anyway, mentally I'm a _lot_ younger than my physical years.
