Heres to 2010 and the new decade a head of us. I’m looking forward to celebrating the tween years in my 30′s. I wonder what the next ten years will bring us…. in technology (what will be out of date), for human kind, and will I find that special someone?

Hi, the name is Kimm, I'm a 30 year old Canadian who has been online since 1999. For the last 16 years my main passion has been dragon boating where I've eaten, slept and breathed it and raced all over North America. 










I’m shocked that you can remember so much. I hardly remember anything I guess. I’m curious about the medical advances and technology advances as well.
What a decade indeed! I’m kind of scared as to what the future will bring. Like you, I’m also questioning as to whether or not I’ll find that “special someone.” It’s the “or not” part that scares me! lol.
