Going out in style

[stacer]

So I was talking to my roommate last night and I realized that there are now less than 2 months till my 30th birthday.   So help me out here, guys. What should I do for my 30th? I want to do something out of the ordinary, yet cheap. (Unless my friends are going to secretly pool to do something really big, which I doubt.) Any ideas?

You're turning 30??

I knew you were older than me, stacer, but I thought it was just by 4 or 5 years.

I've been thirty for exactly 6 months now. It's ... disappointing.

Anyway. Yeah. You should drive down to DC  and have Jeffe and I teach you how to role play. *nod*

that'd work out well if someone would quit cancelling

I don't get the name of this thread.  Do you plan on dying for your 30th or what?  And if so, you should skydive.

[fuzzyoctopus]

She's going out of her twenties.

Come on, it's a big deal.

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

I don't really see it that way, but I am just an ignorant kid.  Go on, go on.

Maybe I should have named it "Going in in style"--going into my thirties. Puts a positive spin on it.

Did I tell you what my friend Melyn did for her roommate last year? She held a funeral. JaNeece turned 29, and Melyn figured it would be funnier for her 29th than for her 30th. There were mourners, black clothes, a eulogy--the works. It sounded hilarious (I didn't go to it at the time, but she's turning 30 a few weeks before me, so maybe I'll get some ideas).

Oh, and SE, I think I will be down in the D.C. area in mid-August, though I'm not sure. I'm road-tripping home at the end of July, and it will all depend on money.

Reminds me of an AIM conversation I once had with JP--he told me that if I wrote a page a day, I'd have a book in a year. I misread it and thought he said I should write a page a year and then I'd have a book, so I answered with, "Yeah, then I'd have a book by the time I died," which understandably freaked him out--what, was I going to kill myself next year?

Careful reading makes all the difference...

[JP Dogberry]

Yes. It's generally not a good idea to tell people you have gotten to know you over the net that you'll die in a year.  It generally does scare us.

Your Friend Mod loves you. Friend Mod says it is only because he loves you that he must see all communications going into and out of your home, and remove the ones he doesn't agree with. </Weird amalgamation of 1984 and Paranoia.>

Speaking of reading things wrong, I had to read that paragraph three times before I realized you meant 'moderator' rather than 'mistress of darkness'.  I couldn't understand why you were telling stacer that MoD loved her...

[JP Dogberry]

Sorry. If I were referring to MoD, it would be MoD, not Mod. Note the subtle difference.

[House of Mustard]

Oh, I noted it.  On this board, however, I've learned not to trust either spelling or capitalization.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Wise words.

Which gives me an idea stacer.  You should have a wild night for your 30th birthday.  Go nuts! Listen to bad rap music and wear ridiculous clothes!  Spell everything incorrectly, and use terrible grammar!  Follow teenagers around and hit on them while mimicking their behavior.

Then when you're done you'll be happy to be an adult.

The title of the thread is very Logans Run.
