I'm officially 30.
I guess it's ok, since I was really lucky to survive 20 (drunken near-death experiences) and 25 (divorce).
When I was very young, I was convinced that I wouldn't make it to 16, so in that respect, being 30 is fucking awesome.
And now my family officially has permission to bug me for babies.
Dear gods help me.
