Welp. I am officially old now. · 10:58am Dec 14th, 2013
Yep, it's finally come to this. A person in their twenties can still pretend to be somewhat "in their youth" and all that, but I guess after you pass that, there's really no use pretending. I just officially passed the "you most likely lived one third of your life" threshold. Sigh 
On an unrelated note, my niece is exactly 3.5 years old today! Yay! 
(She's so considerate. Born on a day that made sure her godfather will never forget her birthday 
)
Oh right. And, I guess all that means it is, indeed, my 30th birthday today. Eeyup. Alas.
Yes, but it means you grew up in the late eighties/early nineties, which means you can say "Things were better when I was young, consarn it!" and actually be speaking the truth.
Happy birthday.
Physical youth will in most cases last 'til forty-six and longer if you are healthier.
Whether you will live to ninety years or a century, psychological youth lasts for as long as you cling to it.

Well... I grew up wit the Epic Classics of Video Gaming, I guess. Mortal Kombat 1, Duke Nukem, Dune II, Command & Conquer... all of those games that Started It All. The games people make remakes of today because they were so damn cool.
Yeah, I guess things were pretty awesome when I grew up

In that case, I don't think I'll ever even be able to grow up
*looks at his mom*
Hm. And if genetics go my mom's way, I might hold out well into my fifties before I start looking old

Indeed.
Soooooooo... happy birthday, I guess? At least, I hope it's gonna be happy.
having any kind of celebration?

Not really any kind of celebration, but my sister's visiting, and she's bringing the aforementioned niece/godchild with her, so, yay~!
And my grandmother called, and a phone call from her always cheers me up
She was all, "yeah, well, you gotta move on in life, you know." Heh.
Fun fact: my other grandmother is the one who first introduced me to the song I put in the blog post
(I have awesome grandmothers)
...30 isn't old.
You're not in the pinocle prime of your youth, but you're most certainly not old. You're far too young to be old.
You young kids. I hit 50 *last* year and I'm not dead yet.

Well yeah, but my point stands... you have to admit you left your youth behind quite a while ago
1605991 Can't respond right now. I'm in the middle of a World of Warcraft raid, and I'm supposed to be coming up with an idea for our Dungeons and Dragons game tonight that I'm GM'ing.

Excellent comeback, sir
Happy Birthday man!

Ah, the pain of progression.

Thanks
Happy 31!
Everypony forgets the first one...
You don't have to go past thirty if you don't want to. I have an aunt who started counting backwards after that. She's in her teens now.

Psh. You can wish me a "happy 31st birthday", but not a "happy 31", because that implies my age is 31, which it is not
The Flemish/Dutch word for "birthday" also leaves no confusion about that; it's a word meaning quite literally "the day after a year passed". It's not even related to birth.
1613944 Well, the Dutch are more sensible, then.
