I realized I was old when:

-All of my favorite shows are at least 5 years old.

-They made remakes of my favorites games growing up (Pokemon FireRed, SoulSilver, Final Fantasy III) and I still remember what the original was like.

-I just listened to Baha Men and realized they were cool when I was in elementary school (also 21)

When I quoted excerpts from the legendary "holo-virus" episode of Red Dwarf and only got confused looks. Bonus old-points for getting even more confused looks when I attempted to explain Red Dwarf.

Damn kids...

... ... ...I think I need to go cry, now...

Red Dwarf is awesome! The funny thing is I never watched it until my hubby rented all the episodes from Netflix. I originally turned my nose up at it, but then found myself giggling uncontrollably as I caught certain scenes. Then of course I ended up sitting next to him - watching the whole series.

And for a "I realized I was old when...." My younger sisters turned 40!

First started slavishly devoting myself to it when I was about eight. I'm pretty sure it didn't have any particularly negative consequences- GYOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!

...when I mention ANY of the computer games I love (all Win95 material).

...when I have to explain what a VHS is (I kid you not (for once) !).

....when I helped clean out my mom's garage. All of my sister's and my Beanie Babies, Furbies, Batman action figures etc were still there!

...When I realize how pissed off I am that "We like to party" by The Vengaboys is mostly concidered "The Six flags song".

...when I realized my cat is about 15 years old.

“On this home by horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore:"

When casually talking to a co-worker near my age about 8-track tapes and a 20-something co-worker tells me she thinks were making it up, there's no such thing. I brought one in to work to show her and she was astonished. (Yes, I still have 8-tracks and the player to go along with them)

When I remember pay phones used to be prolific, before affordable cellular.

When I see a cell phone I had in the '90s that was considered slim and compact (and required an antenna) and by today's standards it's huge & bulky. And it only made phone calls and had no memory for contacts.

When I remember that I used to carry a pager. Do they even make those anymore?

When I remember .50¢ packs of cigarettes.

When I remember gas station attendants checking my oil, tire pressure and radiator fluid.

When I remember that all cars had the same standard size round headlamps & seatbelts were optional.

I know I was getting old when Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift had more than one top charting hit, and that is all kids listen to now.

How old are they?????

I know I was getting old when I don't seem to need a cellphone but everyone around me can't live without their's.

I realized I was old when I found out there was such a thing as eJuice and thought it was the same as iJuice.
