Turnin' 21: What Did You Do?

[Ash Wednesday]

When I turned 21, I was on internship out of town, so away from my family and friends. They say one shouldn't drink on their lunch hour, but I went to some pseudo-Irish pub/eatery across the street from the agency I was working and ordered an Irish Cream coffee with my lunch. I was alone.

That night my brother and his wife took me on one of those boat cruises outside of Couer d'Alene, I danced with a handsome fellow who was also turning 21 and it was his birthday too. Or else he was lying, who knows. But he asked me to dance and afterwards I wished him luck. I had a lot of sugary alcohol but I didn't feel all that drunk. The whole time I was like, "Well, hmmm." I think it would have been more fun if my friends were around.

Pretty anticlimactic day, I would say.

Oh- I also forgot- I had a final exam, like I did for 5 straight years on my birthday! Boy am i glad that's over with!

Way to party!

My 21st Birthday was during final exam week at school, so I studied...

The only thing that I can remember is the splitting headache I had the next day.

What can I say? I hold my liquor much better now. Now I can have one beer in an evening.

I took my camera everywhere and shot pictures of my day. Then I went and got my driver's licence changed. I made the people there take a picture with me. They thought I was weird.

Then I ate. Then I went to the store and bought some fruity wine...I have matured since then because I know what I am doing....sorta. And my family took a pic of my buying the wine. The lady didn't card me. I said, "Wait, don't you need to card me???" I was sorta sad. She gave me a dirty look and then said, "Can I see your card?" She barely looked at the prettiness of my new card. She handed it back. I went home and threw back a couple of glasses and went to sleep.

TA DA!

[Groo the Wanderer]

Hmm...hard to remember that far back.

I *think* I woke up, threw aside the furs, got my club, kicked dirt on the cave fire and went hunting mammoth for breakfast.

That's the day I got the scar in my eyebrow...sneaky sabertooth jumped me...

[HolyPhoenix]

You already know what I did.

It was my golden birthday and I got some sweet ashes.

I also had a small veggie pizza and a little beer.

God bless-

I went out to dinner with Matt and my parents. I ordered a Tom Collins. Then we went to a local brewery and ordered beers... mine was a cherry stout, as I recall, and it was too heavy so I gave it to my dad. I think the best thing about that birthday was that Matt was able to come visit me for it. lol

Watch out...Katie's a wild one!

[franciscanheart]

i had a phatmasser at my "box" (my apt) on my birthday. things got a little hairy (not literally... she's clean-shaven - to the best of my knowledge). it was sad when she left.

and yes, i got drunk. and again, i don't recommend it.

the end.

Not really. I was wearing a skirt. Everyone would have seen my underwear. And THAT would have been embarrassing.

You should have worn pantyhose...then no one would see anything....

I was 5 months pregnant with my first son. I don't drink anyway. I went out to dinner and had heartburn. That's my story.
