Last night, I tried to come to terms with the major transition and posted a question to Facebook: "Quick, what's something you can only do in your 20s? I only have a few hours left." The answers were pretty intriguing… to ME anyway:
- I don't think I have it in me to go to a lesbian karaoke bar every week. Or get harassed by cops when they catch us drinking 40s in a park after hours.
- I've never spray tanned, but I've tried a tanning bed with poor results.
- I now learned the word "koan", so that's something.
- Telling people I'm in my 20s was probably the most reasonable suggestion that had me going "duh." Good answer.
- I've done some variation on the pants pooping thing, sadly. But I was 20, not like late or even mid 20s, thankyouverymuch.
- Amber might not remember, but she did put a reddish tint in my hair once as a teen, and my mom freaked out. Maybe I can get away with that in my 40s.
- Does 30 really mean my horse fucking days are over?!
- I still always THINK I can hang with young 20-somethings… until I actually do and I'm like "oh no, this is not working."
- Considering that last post, I don't know that "writing with self pity and angst" is over.
- I have beer with Luie every week, so he's being a knucklehead.
- The injury thing is already true!
- I don't have it in me to party like I used to. Or not feel bad the next day. Mainly my body won't even let me drink too much anymore in the knowledge that I don't want to feel bad the next day.
Mostly, it served as a reminder that my 20s were already over. I mentally checked out of that shit a while ago. I might have been clinging to 29 as a number… but as a lifestyle. Nahhhh. Well, except for this weekend. I'm throwing an R. Kelly themed birthday party this Saturday. It's gonna be filthy. Come!
