Two thumbs down!

We just got home from our date to dinner and a movie and I have a bad review to give. We went with some friends to see "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". Booo! It was not good. I really wasn't all that interested in seeing it to begin with but we went with friends and they wanted to see it so we gave it a chance. Besides a few sporadic funny moments and a surprise guest appearance by Lance Bass, it was all bad. The overall moral of the movie, be nice to all people regardless of their sexual orientation, was great but they really went about making that point in the wrong way. I also discovered that Jessica Biel is way too perfect to be human. I'm now convinced that she is a fembot. That body and that face are not possible in real life.

After the movie we went for Mexican food and Margaritas which made up for the stinker movie. I only made it through one Margarita before getting a little tipsy. It was delicious... the tacos were pretty great too. So be warned that I'm BUI tonight (Blogging Under the Influence).

Our dinner conversation tonight turned to an interesting topic. My girlfriend brought up how she's being referred to as "ma'am" a lot more often. I've noticed it too. It's weird because we forget that we're going to be 30 in two years. It doesn't seem possible that we're as old as we are. I remember growing up and thinking people who were 30 were really old and mature. They had jobs and owned homes.... but wait.... I have a job and own a home! Our friends even have a child and even had to hire a babysitter to watch their child while they went out! After dinner they had to go home and pay the babysitter. I remember being the babysitter and the parents coming home to pay me. It's just very weird. I wonder if kids/teenagers look at us and think we're old? There is no way that we can look like the 30 year olds that I remember seeing as a teenager!

I look in the mirror at myself and think that I still look relatively young. Tonight, for instance, I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt and flip flops. My hair is in a pony tail and I have on little makeup. That, to me, doesn't seem like something an almost 30 year old person would wear. I think people in their 30's wear mom jeans and sensible shoes. Maybe that's why I'm afraid to reach my 30's. Maybe I think when I get there I'll have to start wearing mom jeans and sensible shoes and cutting my hair into an "easy maintenance" style. But, if I don't do that and continue dressing like I do now will I be one of those women who thinks she's still 25 even when she's way past her prime? Because that's a whole other can of worms.

This whole aging thing is really something I don't think I'll ever get used to. My mom says she doesn't feel as old as she is, that she still feels like a young person. I guess it's all in how you feel on the inside. But I wonder at what point do you feel like an adult? I mean, I know I'm an adult but I don't feel like I look like an adult or act like one. I still enjoy a good dick or fart joke. I laugh at stupid movies and tv shows. I still watch MTV, keep up with all the celeb gossip, and watch the latest fashion trends. I guess I just never understood what adults were like. In my perception adults just didn't get it. They just didn't understand. I hope that I'll still get it. I hope I'll at least know what "it" is.

I would just like to say, only being 6 weeks your elder, that I still feel like a 12 year old playing "house". I'm still waiting for my mom to come in and tell me "it's wake-up time" and I put my uniform on and skip off to St. Mary's in 7th grade. Just like that movie "13 going on 30". I do have to admit my moment of shame when I entertained the thought that I needed the "easy maintainence" hairstyle, something other than my standard issue ponytail. I luckily snapped back into reality. And I pledge in front of everyone who reads this...I WILL NEVER ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT OF SENSIBLE SHOES!! Bring on the walker and Manolos!!
