30th birthday Beagleskin: Why should I be happy to be 30?

Posted about 1 year ago by Beagleskin

Happy Birthday for Sunday.

My two penn’orth, and it’s obviously a generalisation, but 20-somethings still seem hung up about other peoples’ opinions of them, but now I’m well into my 30s the idea of peer pressure having any pull on me is laughable. I’ll go out when I want to where I want, rather than tagging along to dull parties or shite films. The only downside to being my age is I’m still leching teenage girls (of a majority age, steady!), when I was hoping age would bring some sort of chronocastration to bear. I’ve got a bald spot, I should be fancying their mothers. I do fancy their mothers. And some of their grans, christ I’m gagg….I’ve gone off topic haven’t I? Sorry.

You’re certainly right about the peer pressure thing. I don’t think I could have gone out of the house with my headphones on in my early 20s. I couldn’t care less now.

As for the grannies and mum’s thing I think that is just you…

Though Sean Connery is still pretty hot. Is he a granddad! Surely he must be…

If you want to be slapped about by a balding unreconstructed sexist you should’ve said!

It’s the bingo wings, they light a fire I can’t put out.

I was just about to post a thread about your birthday, honest.

I’m not quite thirty yet, so I wouldn’t know what it’s like. But I am mighty pleased that we can celebrate your 30th birthday in the pirate style that we will be doing this weekend.

You have every right to be happy about being thirty. I am so proud to be related to you, Kudos Queen of the non-profit knitting empire.

30? Thirty? A golden age, if I remember correctly. Having said that, my bigger, funner party was the one I held on my 33 and a third birthday. Still reeling from the knowledge that some low-life Radio 1 DJ had the same idea but much, much later.

Have a great birthday, BS. Kudos to the cancer kicker.

33 and a third, eh? Sounds fabulous. And I thought I was going to have to wait until 40 for my next huge par-tay.

Thanks for the bday wishes. :)

Joelle, awwwwwwwww shucks. blushes

I agree with Mockernee, and also find the older I get, the less I feel any need to prove myself to people, I don’t feel the need to work as hard as I did in my twenties, and I’m old enough now to tell teenagers off in the street for swearing and dropping litter, something I find enormously enjoyable. And I am grateful for every day, too. As some clever French person said, it’s not how old you are, it’s how you are old.

can i have some cake now please

Happy birthday. I agree with the above opinions. Apart from the aching bones, dodgy liver and bulging bits, being older is superb.

Happy Birthday, for your big three decade.

I shall be experiencing your joy sometime in August…

Willster, Knid and DK. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

I am now one day into 30 and fully recovered from the piratey hangover. :)

30 seems lovely to me so far. Thought I do keep hearing the music to 30-something when I walk into a room… :)
