I was a late bloomer, I have been learning my generation backwards, if that makes any sense. I spent a lot of time in my youth trying to figure out which end was up, forget knowing what everyone else was doing. I was clueless, and no not the like fucking movie. However, what I can say is that our generation was smart, had good taste and while very needy, emotional and prone to whining, overall we’re a pretty smart and awesome bunch.
The following information is not given out so that you can make fun, so stfu! I used to really enjoy country music, so much so that I listened to virtually nothing else with a few exceptions… those exceptions I made I now see as my brain’s way of telling me there was more to music than a steel guitar and nasal voice. 
There’s speed metal and Rage Against The Machine and Sublime and Mos Def and John Legend and Blues Traveler and Live and Incubus and oh hell I could go on and on. I have always had a deep love of music, no talent, but much appreciation. I just had it on the wrong channel, country music never fulfilled my need for expression and oddly music now does that in a profound way for me. The other cool thing is that our generation produces today some of the most awesome entertainment ever created.
For example, Robot Chicken:
You cannot tell me you don’t love it! If you don’t um…do you like country music too? Just kidding, I still like George Strait
One thing I’ve never had an appreciation for was drama. Never once did I enjoy a bit of it unless it was in a movie. Some people have a huge flair for drama and those are the kind of people I try to avoid like the plague…THE PLAGUE!
In about a month I turn 31…several years ago I heard a song by Tim McGraw…STFU!.. called My Next Thirty Years…good stuff. Have a seat and enjoy:
Hug a 30 year old today! Have a good Friday everybody, do something fun this weekend and tell me about it!
I finally got around to reading this, and even put on the headphones and listened to Tim McGraw (yum…for looks AND that voice!). Awesome song. You know, I didn’t worry about turning 30 at all, in fact I always say I can’t wait for 60! Every year I get older, and some things get more complicated, but most things get a little easier to understand. Also, I’ve discovered there’s no need to be constantly searching for understanding on some things…I am never going to understand men. However, I understand when he’s got that angry look that it’s a bad idea to criticize him, and I understand that starting a talk about money is a bad idea the moment he finally sits down and takes his boots off after 10 hours of work.
It’s become far less common for me to be mumbling the serenity prayer constantly just to make it through the day. I feel like I’ve finally found my niche in life. My 20s sucked a LOT. Man, I am so excited to be in my 30s!
Must be another strong sign…you know in mythology anyways, lol…

Nope. A gemini.
I never was either, but like you, I didn’t expect to feel so good! I share the same feelings with you, I’ve shed the bullshit – now it’s game time. Are you an Aries too?

I was never one of those girls terrified of turning 30 but I never realized I’d love it so much. I feel like I got rid of all the hard stuff back in my 20′s..marriage, divorce, betrayal, etc. In fact, I think at this point in my life, I’m more “ME” than I ever have been before. I’ve come into my own. I’m confident. I’m capable. I know what I want and what I deserve in life. I’ll turn 31 in 3 months and I can’t wait to see what it holds in store.
