a very big deal

[sephiaowl]

Today, something very important happened to me.  Really.  It was a milestone.  One of those huge events that stand out in our lives, marking us as having achieved a new plateau of existence.  It was huge.  Monumental, even.

I got my first gray hair.

At age 24.

OMG!

I was about 26 when I got mine. I pull it out whenever it grows back in because it's right on top. It took years and years and years for it to get any friends, though.

Similar for me. Except mine have lots of friends in my temples now, and are starting to expand.

I have friends who've been going bald and/or gray since 17. My hair remains pristinely brown, though somebody keeps sucking the color out...

[rosinavs]

Pristinely brown. Yeah right. If you would stop denying it every time I find a gray hair on you...

My hair has been going white since I was eighteen. You should ask Jon about his white hair story sometime.
