My Age Is 30

We're mixing it up this week. Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving I'm postponing my usual Thursday meme - from the good folks a The Back Porch - until Friday.

Put a 'X' in every box that applies to you - elaborate if you wish - the best part of these meme things is the story behind the answer.
