Before I tell you this, bear in mind that I know I'm 24 and was supposed to have grown out of these things years ago.... but I don't wanna
This afternoon I spent a couple of hours playing on a rope swing It was a rather shoddy looking affair made of that blue nylon rope, a sturdy branch and another bit of wood for a seat. Now there was no way I was sitting on it... I saw Jackass type things with broken wood sticking out of my leg happening, so I opted for the "grab on and hold tight" approach (keep the smut in the gutters please )
I came home with muddy jeans, my hair in a mess and a cute guy's phone number it was great fun.
Now my muscles have started to get really tight. My tum is aching everytime I move, cough or laugh and everyone thinks its hilarious to laugh at my obvious pain
Its not as if I have a (too) flabby belly - I work out (when I can be bothered) so is this a sign I'm getting old? or a sign that I don't play on rope swings often enough?

my mate made a rope swing before and asked if we wanted a shot on it, we all declined saying that we didn't trust his craftmanship. he ok then and went to swing on it. he got to the apex of the swing, then *snap* went the rope, he went falling to the ground, oh did i mention this swing was about 15 ft over a hill. so he fel;l we laughed then he didn't get up, went down to see what was wrong him swalling tongue and all unconcious, was well funny. we had to call an abulance and stuff, they thought we were all on drugs cos we were 18 at the time!!!!!

Yep, your getting old.
Wont be long now till dying your hair is a necessity rather than a fashion thing.

Those fluffy pink slippers will begin to look really comfy.

Coffee will not be drunk after 6pm 'cos it'll keep you awake at night.

You'll begin to tell people how things were in your day.

It's all down hill from here

Rope swings are great fun, just remember to use the right sort of rope (I speak from experience)
