geekchickI had absolutely no problem with turning thirty, I kind of enjoyed it even. Thirty-six, however, is mildly freaking me out for some reason; I don't know if it's because I'm now officially closer to forty than to thirty (not that I'm particularly stressed out about forty) or if it's just because saying it illustrates the disconnect between the age I am physically and the age I am in my head, where I seem to still to think I'm around twenty-four. Maybe it's because neither of my parents made it to sixty and so I'm going to start freaking out about each passing year starting, oh, right about now. Eh. Thirty was a good year, hopefully thirty-six will be too.
Right then. Coffee and Wegmans to pick out a birthday cake, then home again to spend way too much time cleaning the house. Yay. Maybe if I get enough done early enough, I can manage a quick nap in the hammock.

*nods* I've been thinking about this for while - what age people are in their heads versus what age they are chronologically. I'm pushing forty a little harder than you are - in some ways I'm rather looking forward to it - but in my head I'm still...I dunno. Either a more functional 18 than I managed at the time or about 29, I think.

I had actually, until a couple of weeks ago, entirely forgotten the birthday was creeping up on me and I had to stop and think for a second when D. asked me how old I was going to be. *think* "Thirty-s...whoah." I was kind of looking forward to 30, am not particularly stressed about 40; leave it to me to freak out about completely random numbers. ;)

Date: 2007-04-22 12:46 am (UTC)I can relate as I will be 36 very soon. It's an odd age, but I was kind of angsty the same way about turning 26, which sounds really stupid in retrospect.

XOXOXOX's.
