I never thought I’d be ___ at 30.
I never thought I’d be ___ at 30.
Make 2 lists: Young kids: List what you think you’ll be at 30. ~30+: List what you are that you never thought you’d be and what you are _not_ that you expected to be. I’ll be thirty years old in a few months and it’s looking like I’ll be a lot of things that I never thought I’d be. So to continue with the new Pills, Spills, and Bellyachin’ theme of OOT… At 30, I never thought I’d be: Divorced Still Smoking Cigarettes Not Writing Drinking heavily Still playing Rock and Roll Living in the Suburbs Not living in Washington DC Working in an Office Gambling Childless HOWEVER: the jury is still out about whether I’m disappointed or not. The 14 year old me would be bummed, but f—k him, he’s an idiot. Here’s a list of things I thought I be at 30 that I am not: Fat Dead Still playing D&D in my mother’s basement Still living in my mother’s basement Singing passionately in a Hard Rock band The possessor of long flowing metal locks Broke The father of several spoiled children Driving a 1974 Dodge Camper van Writing for Rolling Stone magazine (yuck!) All in all, a mixed bag. A push: I never thought I’d be boring… ? Don’t answer that, --GA

I thought I'd be at 30:
Financially well off Married Childless Worldly At 30 I actually was: Broke Father of a middle schooler Single Just getting around to finishing college Worldly On the plus side, I was dating a smokin' hot Asian chick with a doctorate. Pretty sure I didn't see that coming.

Re: I never thought I’d be ___ at 30.
@ 30 I think I'll be:
working and sick of it a home owner (or bank servant, however you prefer to frame it) married good at poker done playing poker even more disagreeable than I already am relaxed 5 years closer to death I hope this thread alleviates my quarter life crisis instead of accentuating it. Things could go either way at this point.

Re: I never thought I’d be ___ at 30.
Sat Night I was shooting pool with this women and she mentioned several times how that she was really old to be in school.
Me: "You should really stop calling yourself old." "I bet you don't know how old I am" "I'd rather not guess" "I really want you to" "You sure?" "Yes!" "Okay, you're 34." "Yup, almost 35. Were you guessing high?" "No"
