Shit that reminds you that you’re getting old - Re: Fwd: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Damn young’uns

In a similar vein, seeing Megan Fox on some brainrot celebrity video that was on one of those gas station screens and realizing she's now a plastic bimbo instead of a very attractive woman close to my age. I haven't aged nearly as poorly, though I guess I started out lower on the scale.
I mean, she was never attractive lol. Her face was always kinda busted. Also... toe thumbs. I can never forget that.
 
I never expected that aging would involve having to wax my forehead.
Welcome to getting old. I'm amazed at the absolutely bizarre places hair appears on me where nobody would ever ever actually want it, while disappearing from where it should be, like on the top of my head.

Started to get irritating when the hair started to sprout from my ears.

MY FRIGGIN' EARS!!!

I mean, COME ON!!! Yeah, was not thrilled that THAT crap started happening... LOL
 
Had two of my great aunts round today, both 80 or so, give or take a few years. At one point one of them pulled out a picture or my grandfather (they're his younger sisters) wearing his school uniform sometme in the early 1950s - blazer, shined shoes, all that.

I have an almost identical photograph of me, also in my blazer, some 50 years later. I had never seen this picture before, yet our expressions were virtually identical, to say nothing of the genetic similarities.

Definitely a 'Jesus Christ' moment.

Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

I was talking with my mother a ways back, and she mentioned that her parents/my grandparents were born over a hundred years ago now. *sigh*

A lot of my friends my age or just slightly older have become grandparents lately.

Out of my ears, my nose, my eyebrows went fucking wild, and a few hairs started growing at the lid-cheek junction below my orbital rims on both sides. Dafuq?!
 
I have to shave regularly. If I overdo it, my face looks naked without any facial hair.
