I've just found it. The ultimate sign that shows me that I'm very, very close to be past my expiration date. Soon, I'll be in a wheelchair, dribbling, peeing myself, and stuck away in a nursing home somewhere, where the only sign of life in my eyes will appear when I shout inappropriate words to the nurses. My life as I know it is basically over. From now on, I have to get used to seeing my body's slow, but inevitable deterioration. Soon, I'll have to start using artificial teeth, due to the fact that my own just fell out of my mouth.
Oh, God! Why did this happen to me? I am still so young, so full of life and spirit...ehrm...yeah...anyway, my point being...I am getting old. You see...as I stood in front of the mirror the other day, my very first gray hair appeared, bold as hell...as if it just wanted to say hello, keep me on edge, make sure I didn't enjoy life too much. Of course, I pulled the sucker out, but I suspect it is similar to the old Greek (or was it Hindu? Actually the Hindu one might have been the story about Kali and her blood being spilled. I can never tell these two apart...anyway...) legend of the dragons teeth. Or was it blood drops? It sounds so daft with teeth..ah...I'll just settle for blood drops. Whenever a drop of dragon blood touched the ground, two new dragons appeared, making it really hard to kill the suckers...or something like that. My point is that this is exactly what I fear might happen on top of my scull. Whenever I pull one pigment lacking hair out, two new will appear...and all of you know I don't exactly have a lot of hair, so I expect that within the end of 2008, my head will be very Christmasy-white...
However, I did get asked for I.D. bying beer in the store the last three times I did it. And the age limit for buying beer is 18, so those people all had to think that I was 17. Although suspect that won't happen when my hair has turned completely white, all my teeth have fallen out, and my boobs are practically level with my knees. Oh dear God...and I didn't even have the time to have one decent job before I got old...just shows that students really stay in Uni too long, doesn't it?
