Where'd it go?

Birthdays used to be exciting. In my younger years, birthdays almost always meant I would get money to buy Sanrio pens and other junk I already had too much of. Coincidentally, have you seen how slutty Hello Kitty looks lately? I know it's random, but what the heck? Dress a little more age appropriate, Hello Kitty.



Anyway...Years later, birthdays meant being able to drive, getting to watch rated R movies without parental supervision, getting to go to a club, or lawfully drinking alcohol. After 21, it became harder to look forward to birthdays. I thought, "OK, when I turn 25, I'll get to rent a car by myself, and my car insurance rate will drop," but when that time came I was sadly mistaken. I guess insurance rates only go down for men, and I haven't needed to rent a car since I already have one.

I've been probing my brain for something awesome to associate with 27, cause let's face it, it's only 3 years away from 3o, and I gotta look forward to something exciting to replace my anxiety. After some thought, I have decided to go skydiving. I've always wanted to go, and it's exciting! Yes people, 27 is the year you go skydiving. It's official.

  • 16: Get to drive
  • 17: Get to watch rated R movies
  • 18: Get to go clubbing
  • 21: Get to drink
  • 25: Get to rent a car
  • 27: Get to go skydiving

I'll say that 28 will be the year I get to swim with the sharks, 29 is the year I get a scuba diving license and actually use it, and 30...well, I'll have to put more thought into that. 30 is a big deal.
