hilsNext year I will be 30 years old *gulp*
Early days I know, but I'm thinking about what I want to do for my 30th birthday. It's kind of hard because I have no idea what my financial situation will be next year given that my job contract will likely end in December. On the other hand I am underpaid compared to most people in my line of work so when I find a new job chances are I'll be on more money. Just depends whether I wind up having to commute to another town, which is looking likely.
Anyway, I digress. What did you do on your 30th? I'm thinking it might be nice to go away somewhere but I'm not sure where I want to go or what I want to do.
Looking for suggestions.

Date: 2008-01-29 04:15 pm (UTC)It was a weekend long Murder Mystery filled event! The Friday of my birthday I went with 4 friends up to Spicer Castle in Northern Minnesota for an official Murder Mystery dinner and overnight in a whirlpool/fireplace room.
Saturday we drove back to Minneapolis where we headed over to my friend's house for dinner and a Murder Mystery game called "Mystery in the Library". 30 (yes I said 30) of my closest friends became library characters such as: Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella (that was me!), Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, Aladdin, Dracula, Peter Pan, etc. etc. And with my friends things got strange - as in Peter Pan 40 years later (a drunken, bitter old man/boy), or Alice in Wonderland - covered in blood wielding a knife, or Gay Robin Hood.
So yeah - I'm a murder mystery geek and that was the absolute perfect weekend/party for me! (Oh and I had a Lord of the Rings Birthday Cake too - could it get any more geeky?)

Date: 2008-01-29 05:42 pm (UTC)My 40th was the BIG party and we had a line dancing part which was a hoot (everyone was a novice so we all made mistakes and crashed into each other).
If you want to travel how about somewhere like Amsterdam? That's a nice place to visit. You can hop on the ferry... :)

It's a good place to go for a long weekend and not too expensive.

Date: 2008-01-29 07:15 pm (UTC)Haven't really thought much about my 30th- so many life plans have screwed up- the list of "things to do by the age of 30" is lying in pieces lookng largely like none of it will get done!
But i think a party is in order- with lots of drinking and maybe some costumes! If you liked the murder mysetery idea, we can do something similar- scaled down a bit of course.
We'll always be 17 in my mind!

Date: 2008-01-31 08:17 am (UTC)anyway, I celebrated for a week...I had something different planned for each day, leading up to my big "party" on Saturday (although I had three people show up for the "party" party...my mom, my brother, and one friend...sigh...that sucked) -- but the rest of the week was great....a night of bowling, a day at the ren fair, a drive-in movie, a night club night, -- dang I can't remember the others. It was a while ago...but big fun!!!
