Three Decades Down

So, it appears that I'm officially old now. At least, that's what people keep telling me. I don't feel that old, and certainly don't feel any more mature. More mature or not, I no longer get to claim to be in my twenties, since today is my thirtieth birthday. I don't typically talk about my birthday, in fact I've deliberately avoided talking about it here in the past. This year has to be a little different though.

Melissa, who can never keep any sort of gift or surprise a secret, planned a surprise party for me. She planned out a nostalgic roller skating party complete with a soundtrack she put came up with and compiled herself. It had all the music you need for skating, from It Takes Two to Bust a Move to Youth Gone Wild. (I didn't ask how much she had to download to make the soundtrack. One of the joys of having a birthday is that you don't get to know how much was spent of things.) As if having the party (and recently buying me a Media Center PC and new monitor) was not enough, she also got me the I Love The 80's game and a 80's version of Trivial Pursuit.

So, while I don't know if worth anywhere near that much trouble, I certainly won't complain about it. Like I said, I didn't intend to talk about my birthday on here, but after all that, I had to. Of course, now that I know she can manage to keep a secret, I might be suspicious a bit more often.
