with over 6 months to prepare, what should I do for my 30th birthday?

A 20 year old.

Ho ho ho, but seriously.... Go skydiving, or bungee jumping, or skinny dipping. Or all three. Do something memorable for it's youthful abandon. You could do what I did, which was absolutely nothing, but I wouldn't recommend it. To be honest, 30 wasn't a great milestone for me, my older sister says 35 was worse. But if I had it to do over again, I would have it be a shining beacon to how old I'm not. Perhaps I'll make this my 32nd....

1) Ha ha, that's what i did for my 26th birthday.
2) I'm terrified of heights so um I dunno about that. Besides I kind of want to do something I can share with people.

35 is really the biggie. That's when you're another demographic box and no longer "18-34." I remember when I was in my early 20's thinking "why don't they just make it 18 to ONE HUNDRED?" And then turning 36 and going, oh.

On my 30th birthday I had a new baby and one starting kindegarten and a really stressful job that had just gotten more stressful. I don't think I did much but sleep.

I did go skydiving for my 36th.

For my 42nd I'm going to DJ Assault and hopefully getting drunk.

I'm moving backwards in time.

HELP WITH MY BREAST EXAM

[kirinqueen.livejournal.com]

I have 14 months, so I should check back on this and see if anyone has any good ideas. I'll probably throw a dinner party or something.

Sex, drugs, rock and roll, and then maybe some more drugs and sex!

Oh my God, I feel so old now. It's a good thing you're an Older Woman, and I have much longer to go!

(Actually, I don't really care -- with cancer, I've started to say, "dude, I'm still young!!"

three friends of mine have turned 30 in the last three months

Convince me to stop thinking of thirty-year-olds as "old" and start thinking of them as "my peers."

if that's not a "peer"...

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

Isn't your girlfriend older than me?

and you are older than my boyfriend.

Re: if that's not a "peer"...

[perich.livejournal.com]

My girlfriend is older than me, but she'll be turning 28 this November.

Set up a retirement plan, and get life insurance while you're at it.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

quit being boring man

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

i was under the impression that life insurance is a ripoff for unmarried unparents.

[dieszy.livejournal.com]

I thought this was a boring subject?

Yes it's a ripoff for the 'un' types, unless you have friends with high risk lifestyles and you want to both go in on it and name each other beneficiaries. It's like Vegas, except slow, weird, and not at all like Vegas.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

or russian roulette but not as sexy.

[skipbreakfast.livejournal.com]

Like Vegas, only not?

[dieszy.livejournal.com]

Like tired, but on crack.

[skipbreakfast.livejournal.com]

Don't knock the crack tire.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

[leighdb.livejournal.com]

All the more reason.
