Whoa, I'll be thirty-one in two weeks. Good thing it's not another multiple of five. Thirty and, for some reason, especially twenty-five messed with my head. Maybe I'll start skipping those ones.
You could always set up a wish list at Amazon. If that's not your thing, would you like to be on my birthday/Xmas list? It's a little something I do for my favorite LJ folks. Don't feel obligated to send a present in return if you're low on $ or whatever.
That means you'll be 33 in 2 years - will you be able to keep up with your man-slaving duties?? I don't want to have to pay for hernia surgery.
I had a mini-breakdown at 25. I didn't like go crazy and need to be institutionalized or anything, but I completely turned my life 100% upside down and around. Turning 25 was messed. What am I in for at 30??
I'm in training, so I'll be all kinds of ready to become a slave. I'm old, but I'm spry!
You're what, 28? It won't be so bad. At 30 you'll be about in the same position I was in terms of getting out of school and starting work and all that. (The work that you're going to school for, I mean.) All of that actually helped me--with all the other stuff going on, I was able to kind of forget about turning thirty. Now that I think about it, thirty really wasn't that bad, because I felt like my life was heading in a good direction, you know? I think those milestones are probably depressing only if and when you feel like you're not making progress.
Hell, I started writing songs again when I was 30. (It went back to last year when I was in bed for a week and couldn't leave the house for the first few days...)
Holy crap, I was just about to do all sorts of yelling and say "I'm only 27!!!", but then I realized, oh yeah, I'm 28. Whoops. It's cool though because nobody believes me when I tell them how old I am...I get pegged at about 24-25 and because I'm back in school, I feel the same age as the rest of the people. But yeah, turning 30 should be just in time with me finishing school and on my way to the Golden Road...so it should all be good.
