Hangin' On to the Edge of Forever

[themostepotente]

Today is my 39th birthday, and man do I feel like I'm hangin' on to the edge of forever. Sometimes, I wonder how I've made it this far with all the crazy whacked-out shit I've done.

I still get carded for entrance into the casino, for liquor and for the occasional pack of cloves. I don't think I quite look my age, but still, I don't want to get older, dammit!

I really, really don't want to turn, much less think about, the big 4-0.

I have a whole year to think about this, but ladies, any advice? Thoughts. Wishes. Stories to share. Virtual cake and alkeehol. Hot nakey boys.

39 is a great number -- they're both "lucky" numbers in Chinese :)

Happy Birthday!!!

With lots of booze and denial. At least that's the plan. *G*

Dude, I need to quit smoking, too. For like the third time this year. Reason I don't make resolutions. Now watch, I'll be bumming smokes from you and Lisa at Azkatraz :P

And thanks for the birthday wishes, Deej :-) *hugs*

Happy Birthday!!!

Age really is just a number, you know. I'm 41 and don't feel that "old". I feel more like 12 most of the time, what with my obsession with all things Scooby Doo and my tearing around the house scaring the livers out of my cats and dosing my niece with sugar before sending her home. *grins* For my 40th birthday, my sister, brother, his fiancee and I "celebrated" by going to KY and staying the weekend at a reputedly haunted bed and breakfast. Do something fun and spontaneous when the "big 4-0" rolls around. Get a tattoo! Take up belly dancing! Stay at a haunted hotel!

Happy Birthday, hon!! ^.^ Hope you had a really great day!

39! Just a kid! Well, compared to me, that is. *grin*

I don't have any advice. I can only say that, so far, I love being in my forties.

I basically think of the alternative to *not* being in my forties, and enjoy myself.

Get married!

Well, that doesn't work for everyone. But that's what I did. : D

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

Most importantly, happy birthday!

Thank you for friending, and welcome to my flist. :-)

I wish I was worried about the big 4-0, after my next birthday I have 2 years to the big 6-0, now that is something to freak out about.

Check your user info, I sent something to cheer you up. :)

I didn't realise you were the same age as my husband *giggle* - you're not old at all!!!!

Happy birthdayness!

Hmmm. Advice? ifyou haven't read Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book" I highly recommend it! Thoughts/wishes: I miss you and hope your birthday is fabulous! Stories: #3 has started climbing, and got up the stairs on sunday! She is currently eating her brother's duck-boot tho *laughs* Uhm... nothing interesting.

Happy belated birthday my dear Penny.

Forty is what you make of it, just like age in general. My sister has been bitching about her age for years and contemplating plastic surgery for at least eight years now. She is only going to be twenty-six years old, so I think that is ridiculous. Me? I could personally care less. Age comes whether you like it or not, so it is up to you how you deal with it in the end. Yeah, it helps that I know I'll always look way younger than I actually am (the only positive thing out of a genetic pool that is otherwise horrible), but I still think it is all in how you look at it.

Plus I wouldn't consider forty old at all. Wait thirty or forty years- then you'll actually be fairly old. I'm sure you'll wish you were thirty-nine or forty at any rate. You haven't even lived half of your life yet, and you still have quite a bit of ways to go. Me? I wouldn't worry about it. I'd throw a party, just for the hell of it, because I don't really celebrate my own birthday. I'd think of forty as a beginning versus the end.

Time is relative; it all depends on how you view it.

Aww, 30's a piece o' cake, dear. You'll do just fine :-) *snuzzes*

Thanks, Meggy! Moms are always right, too. That's why they're moms! Give mom a hug for me, eh? *G*

You're in your 40's? *blinky blink* Girl, I thought you were in your 20's. Srsly.

Ooh, how did the stay at the haunted bed and breakfast go? Any spooky encounters? I would love to go ghost hunting myself as I am pretty fearless. I think that's fabulous, sweetie :-)
