    Does that mean one of them was only 1/2 of a man?

    Part man part pig perhaps??

    Congratulations on living through all of that!! :D

    Hope you have a good birthday tomorrow. :)

    I always take pause when I'm inside the last hour before it turns midnight on my birthday. It's a good chance to reflect on what I did over the year. Sounds like you're doing the same...but for a whole decade! I consider that a bigger deal than New Year's Eve, in a way.

    Whatever you decide to do! That's the beauty of life... keep doing things you enjoy, and you will probably have a better list when you say goodbye to your 30's.

    I did a lot of things in my 20's, but so far into my 30's, in just 3 years I maybe on pace to do less "things", but what I've done so far makes all of those 20's experience, pale in comparison.

    i've been dreading turing 30 since i was 25, but now that im less than a year away, it doesnt bother me too much. i'm ready to grow up. i get more money, more respect, etc... i dont think it will be so bad.

    The one and only birthdate that literally freaked me out. I was depressed for the next 6 months, it seemed I really had to grow up and I did.

    After that it's been all good since.

    for some reason, turning 31 meant more to me than turning 30. 30 is just 30, but 31 is "in your thirties"

    Well it looks like you certainly got the most out of those years. I see you have 15 men and 70 lbs in your list, so you must either be a woman or a gay body builder.

    I think the 20's have a different meaning for women as compared to men. For men, the mid-20's signify when the brain has finally finished developing, and so there's a significant period of personality changes that happens during that time. At least that was the case for me.

    I'm not sure when the female brain stops developing, but it's common knowledge that they certainly start maturing at an earlier age, and so I guess it's to be expected that the "wisdom" that sets in during the mid-20's for men happens at an earlier age for women.

    But, not everybody is the same. I think we all have that point in our lives when we are hit with a series of epiphanies that have a lasting impact on our outlook.

    Perhaps it was at guy #10 or #12 that you realized what you really wanted from men, and from that point on you made sure every guy you dated was a dedicated pearl jam fan and an accomplished manual transmission user.

    yeah I just was about to go to bed and I was like "Oh no, when I wake up I'll be in my 30s!" and I was trying to remember what the 20s have been like, and I was hoping that I had actually done stuff during them!

    I have to say, the 15 pearl jam shows (out of 17 total) were really the best part.
