Officially Middle Age - Happy F***ing Birthday to me

Officially Middle Age - Happy F***ing Birthday to me
My birthday was this weekend and I officially hit middle age, as defined by demographers. Basically, I went from checking the 18 - 34 age range box on forms, to now having to check 35 - 54. I admit, I took it pretty hard at first - how could I possibly be no longer hip, young and cool (especially with such a hip, young and cool psuedonym as "sciencegirl", right - stop laughing, some geek out there finds it charming, I'm sure).

30 did not bother me at all - I still got carded pretty much all the time, and certainly did not act like I was 30. Still, 35 was tougher to swallow. However, now that I think about it, I am kind of enjoying the age thing - I still have all my favorite vices AND I have the money to indulge in them on occasion (something you never really have in your 20's). I will admit, I don't bounce back after a night of hard core<b> clubbing </font></b>like I did then, but a hangover from Dom Perignon is much better than a hangover from Southern Comfort. Regardless, middle age, look out - I intend to make you my bitch!

Back off, man! I'm a scientist - Bill Murray, Ghostbusters

 Now wait...I'm turning 45 in a couple weeks and THAT'S middle aged, right? We're living longer, healthier lives so 40 is the new 30...

I'm a former science teacher turned...well, something else...a secret you know. Love the blog and will now follow it.

I'm not a milestone guy so hang in there and remember, there's always a lot of us older than you.

 Middle age ain\'t nothing but a number. Hell, back in the Dark Ages, living to 30 meant you was an old geezer. With advances in health technology, we could live to 300 years old in the near future, whether as cyborgs or some other weird form.

 I've done pretty well so far, but age is creeping up on me. Kinda wonder how the 4-0 is going to be. dido on all the other comments. I must be quite the geek, cause the name and pic caught my eye the first day, happy late b-day.
