Getting old…


Aye... Just had a stray thought... I'm turning 26 in a few days, I'm married (yay for that), I have a uni degree under my belt, and I'm working full time! I'm even sporting a few gray hairs on my right-hand temple!!!

Update (2006.02.15): I spotted the first few grey hairs on my left-hand temple yesterday!

I'm getting OLD! :s
