It's official, I'm old. Well I'm 27, but clearly the downhill process has begun...
Today I found a grey hair.
In fact it was a white eyelash but I am convinced it's the same thing.
I was staring blearily in the mirror this morning (well okay, lunchtime, but it was a heavy night) and I saw it.
At first I thought it was a stray piece of pillow fluff but nooooo
It's attached!!! To my lower eyelid!!!
I rush into my flatmate's bedroom yelping. (This does not do much to improve his hangover)
Look at me I insist, do I look older?? - Me
Yes, you have aged hideously overnight, sod off - Him
No seriously look at me can you see anything different?? - Me
No seriously you look just as s**t as you normally do on a Saturday morning - Him
smothers flatmate with pillow - Me
Everytime I look in the mirror it leaps out at me. No one else has noticed yet. My flatmate (I resuscitated him) hasn't mentioned it yet, but maybe he's not talking to me due to his near-death-experience this morning.
Is it the precursor to an epidemic? Or a one-off genetic mutation???
There is no way of knowing sadly, I bleach my hair, and I'm cuff-free if you get my gist.
However I fear the worst.

Hell, I'm twenty-three and I've been graying since I was a teenager.
