Incipient Birthdayness

I am almost 30.

Honestly, I'm not freaking out about the number, so much as the bizarre mental and emotional changes I've watched other friends encounter as they strike, then pass, that mark.

I do not want to become awful-unfunny-comic-strip Cathy.

I keep telling folks, it's not the age I'm worried about, it's the sudden loss of identity that some of those wrenching changes bring. I remember with acute clarity the last one and I can only hope not to repeat the whiplash portion.

On the other hand, it seems like (oh god please don't let this be jinxing it) a bunch of people are coming to my partyhike this year. I hope it doesn't rain.
