29 reasons I can't dispute the result

I just took another Facebook quiz, and the results have cut straight to the heart.

Just when I was getting used to the idea of turning 30 (start planning your over-the-hill themed presents now; you've still got about 6 months), I find out that I'm actually much older.

According to Facebook, I act like I'm 43. Wow. That's rough.

Of course, I mean no offense to any 40-somethings who may be reading this. It's just that ... well ... would you want to be accused of acting 14 years older than you really are? I didn't think so.

What's worse is that I think it might be right. In honor of my biological age, here's 29 reasons why I may, in fact, be confused with a middle-aged woman:
  1. I drive a mini-van

  2. And I think it's cool.

  3. I'm routinely plucking grey hairs from the top of my head

  4. And from my face.

  5. I have, on multiple occassions, scheduled my evening around the late night show.

  6. That is, on the few occasions where I was up past 10 p.m.

  7. I recently bought a hideous pair of shorts, with an elastic waistband, because they were $6.

  8. Then I wore them in public.

  9. I own a swimsuit with a built-in skirt.

  10. And the only reason I quit wearing it was because I'd had it so long it was becoming see-through.

  11. I buy underwear based on practicality.

  12. It's been at least six months since I've seen the end of a movie without falling asleep.

  13. I've used the term "blouse" in the last week.

  14. I refer to college students as kids.

  15. And I don't understand what the kids are in to.

  16. I can count the texts I've sent -- ever -- on my fingers.

  17. I eat Fiber One bars for breakfast (They're REALLY good).

  18. I gripe about commercials being too loud.

  19. I do not know, nor do I care, who Lady Gaga is.

  20. But I do crank up the radio when Phillips, Craig and Dean are singing.

  21. Or when a Mr. Big song comes on

  22. Or Lionel Ritchie

  23. Or Aerosmith

  24. Or D.C. Talk

  25. Or practically any hair band from the early 90s.

  26. The last time I saw Zach Effron, my first thought was, "Why doesn't that boy cut his hair?"

  27. My purse is large enough to house a small family of rodents.

  28. I have no desire to read or see Twilight. It's not a moral stance. It just seems absurd to me.

  29. My favorite attraction at Disney World was the Hall of Presidents.

Wow, when I put this all together, I realize I'm even lamer than I thought.

Perhaps I'm more like 73.
