2004-05-16 - 5:38 p.m.� In less than 2 weeks I will be 28 years old. That's just 2 years away from 30. What the fuck? How can I be this close to 30? I still feel like I'm 12. When I was in my early twenties I think I went through this phase of trying to convince myself that I was an adult. I think this is pretty normal. You know, it's the phase right after you've graduated from school (or perhaps are still pursuing some form of higher education) and you have this burning desire to prove to everyone that you are an adult now. Part of it is for basic survival. You need to convince other adults that you are one of them--responsible, mature, etc, etc-- if you want to get a decent job, a lease/mortgage, a loan, a car, whatever. When I hit that phase I threw away my blue nailpolish. I got a sensible haircut and a couple of power suits. I started thinking about things like how I would decorate an apartment. I've noticed though, since I hit about 25, I've given up on all facades of being a grown up. I've embraced body glitter again. Flip flops, plastic hair clips, a collection of muppet action figures, and now the coveted button maker... I've decided that's okay. There's no reason why I can't wear things or do things that are fun. I am an adult. And I will continue to be an adult whether I wear glitter and temporary tattoos and Buffy the Vampire Slayer buttons or not.
