What's My Age Again?

When I was in high school, 27 seemed like the age at which I'd actually be "grown up."  I have no idea why I chose 27 over 25 or 30.  Maybe I was splitting the difference, maybe it's just because it's my favorite number.  A week and a half into being 27, one thing's for sure: I don't really feel like a grown up.

I assumed, back then, that at 27 I'd be settled into the career of my dreams.  (When I was 16, I wanted to be a teacher, but I'm not sure what my dream was after I abandoned that one.)  I've been out of college for almost 5 years now and I still have no idea what kind of career I want to pursue.  I should probably figure that out.

At around 15, I decided that 27 was the "right" age to get married.  If you'd asked me at 19 or so, I'd have told you that I didn't really see myself getting married at any age.  I'm neither married, nor engaged, but I have found my person.  (We've been together for over 6 years.  I'm pretty fond of him, I guess.)


Do I feel my age?  I honestly don't know.

I have a mortgage.

I have acne.

This is my favorite hoodie.


I would rather stay at home with a book than go out to a club and party.

If I won the lottery, there are two things I'd spend a good chunk of the the money on: games

and home decor.

J threw me a Lego themed birthday, complete with Lego candles on my cake.


My chosen birthday activity was going on a hike.  (Which got rained out.  Boo.)


I had cake for breakfast.

My favorite places to shop are mostly grocery stores.

I'm 27.
I may get older but I'll never grow up.
