Thank you for your kind words.

I'm kind of nervous, but at the same time excited. I think it's true that when you turn 30, you gain more credibility just by being in your 30s rather than your 20s. There will always be people in their 50s and beyond who view me as a 'kiddo'.

I hated hitting 30, I really didn't want to celebrate it or have any fuss made, but I went out for a meal with some friends & it was made worse as someone on the next table was celebrating their 18th

Well, I celebrated my 30th birthday with my ex GF who was 24 at the time, and she kept repeating "30, 30, f**king 30, 30, 30 LOL" all the time.

The next day I woke up being 30, got a blowjob and noticed it was the same as always. And as dunno said, there will always be people around who refer to you as a kid. Later I realised that I didn't even want to be 18 anymore. Oh man how naive and inexperenced I was at that time. No thanks.

True, you don't feel any different the older you get (I don't feel any different inside to when I was 12 lol) but I guess it was perhaps a vanity thing about getting older, to me 30 just seemed really old. It isn't of course, but I think I'm going to need therapy when I hit 40 lol

I turned 21 yesterday, suppose it's the last birthday that really means anything.

So I was walking to the corner store today and I encountered my almost neighbour. She looked stunning as always. Long slim legs, fit, around 168 cm, and beautiful as hell. Blonde, though. And maybe a bit out of my league, not that I've worried about that earlier anyway. We've exchanged a few words earlier with her now and then, and she's really nice, but... maybe a bit odd. She's an artist, painter, and she has a brother who comes around frequently. Sometimes when I'm going out I've heard furious fights between them. One weekend we came home at the same time, and she was drunk beyond belief. And a bit annoying. Not really. She was very annoying.

Usually those types sends up 1000 red flags, but today when she walked towards me she was so beautiful. Dressed all in black, short skirt (and those legs), black top and a light jacket. And sunglasses, though it was like 18C and partly cloudy. I noticed her walking towards me, and tried to act casual, though I wanted to stare at her. Then she said hello on a very un-Finnish distance (several metres), and I was acting like I didn't even noticed her before. Said very friendly "oh, hi! Hi!", unshaven and pretending that I was in my own thoughts.

So what should I do? Usually asking out an neighbour here is considered very odd and might get uncomfortable. She has never brought home anyone (that I know of), and somehow I should charm her where others have failed. I don't know, I've fought hard battles before, but this time I feel quite insecure. Should I ask her out, continue drooling, or forget the whole thing?

edit: Now when I'm looking at my post, I've been trying to talk myself out of the whole thing all the time. LOL.
AARGHH, hate this insecurity. Somebody please kick me. What happened to the "I want you and I'll get you or get drunk" -Ariete?

I avoid the area around here rated 5th worst traffic in the U.S for a reason... I'm stuck in it now. How do people do this everyday. I feel like my longvity is wearing out. Being Friday doesnt help.

Travelled 5 miles in 30 minutes...on an Interstate highway. Lovely. No accidents. Normal

Are you somewhere in NYC? Or I-95 in Westchester?

Why didn't you take metro north ?

Traffic is quite bad here as well. Thankfully, I don't drive.

while I've enjoyed this mild summer weather, I'm starting to miss summer heat. Not much left. 66°F and cloudy in August doesn't cut it. 70s not really, either.
