Eighteen

[farla]

I'm eighteen now.

I like being seventeen better, actually. Seventeen is the aloof older teen, eighteen is the boring young adult. I can vote now, which would be great if I wasn't so cynical, and I can join various government organizations that want to get me killed. I can also legally call in and order something advertised on TV, as my brother reminded me several times.

On the brighter side, I got a nice birdfeeder for my window.

Happy birthday.

Don't forget the porn and cigarettes.

I completely forgot about that. Now I can corrupt my little brother!

Happy Spawnday. =D *gives you imaginary cake, which you can't eat but can take the square root of its negative*

Don't forget the beer--or is it 21 for alcohol and gambling in your state? Feel free to come to Canada for both. Aw yeah.

Birdfeeders FTW. Ours gets owned by the squirrels now. ^^

My family can't remember if the laws were changed here or not, but they're pretty sure I can't drink hard liquor. Since we already have non-hard liquor at home, being able to buy that isn't a big deal.

Squirrels are so cute when they're being destructive seed-hogs. They've taken control of our feeders as well.

Oh brother,

Birthdays only come once a year, and you only get to have each birthday once. I don't care how low your opinion on humanity and the state of the world is: if you can't enjoy a Birthday, and don't even make the EFFORT to enjoy the one day that's supposed to be yours, then you're just sad.

Wow, now you're against people that don't enjoy birthdays. What should we call that? pro-stupid? Maybe we should start bombing the places where people don't enjoy being older. Yay! It's happy-fun-firebombing-retirement-homes time! Huzzah! I'm a rational person! Whee!!

I <3 your logic.

I did enjoy my birthday. I just posted a thoughtful entry on being a year older rather than something composed purely of SQUEE BIRTHDAY YAY. I got presents and money and a very nice window birdfeeder. I just don't much care for the milestone.

(And your insinuations I should be forced to enjoy something are rather creepy.)

Well, congratulations. :)

Remember, birthdays are healthy, the more you have the older you become!

Well, having a birthday is certainly better than the alternative, I have to say.

I'd sing, but then I'd probably make your ears bleed.

Congradulations, you've cheated Death of another soul for another year. Uhm... couldn't you just run for Pres. of the US sometime? It would make a lot more sense then Bush, anyway... he can't even answer real questions without having to ask it to be repeated, double that if the questionair has a slight accent.

Birdfeeders are nice.

No, I can't be president legally, and besides, I tend to get incredibly sarcastic when I try to stay 'on message'.

Happy birthday...

I think that when I hit eighteen, I'm going to order the most random thing that I can find on an infomercial. Just to prove that I can.

I've already claimed to be eighteen on the phone by sort-of accident so the allure has somewhat worn off.
