Goths, bad hair, worse clothes and 'back to the future'
It's nearly my birthday.
I decided to put this in not because I am excited or wanting people to gush over how big I've got, it's just a fact.
Back, back way back 21 years ago I was born, 'I wanna know what love is' was the UK number one and Transformers was the must have toy. It's quite sad really I'm no longer thrilled by the countdown to my birthday I've even got to the point where my parents are giving me an 'I owe you' for my Birthday present as the prospect of hunting out something chills me to the bone.
I've hit the realisation that age is catching up with me, I've even started a list of things I will now have to do including exercise regularly, cleanse, tone and moisturise daily and other such boring things. I was also sad enough to weigh up how much I would pay for a good pair of trousers. Sad I know but let's face it, what wouldn't you give for a good pair of pants? I decided to go on the hunt, I went to cheap and cheerful and all the way up and lo and behold I found them! I won't fool you, they didn't make me into something I'm not but man, they were good.....until I saw the price tag! £67 (that's a staggering $120!) it was shocking these weren't sewn by purple unicorns, they weren't made of spider's webs or designed by Jesus they were just a pair of kecks! I umm and ahh over buying a pack of Jelly belly as they are expensive over here so how could I buy these trousers? so I didn't and now I'm sitting here thinking that maybe, just maybe I could get them as a birthday present......

well happy b'day in advance...
age 20 to 30 is the time to live it up, i don't want to think about what happens after that.
Happy almost-birthday! :D
21! Does that come with any special privileges? It’s still a bit of a milestone over here (depending on where you live, of course).
Aww, you’re growing up so fast!
Not really. everything's 18 or 16 here.
Ooh! If I had been driving since I was 18 I could teach someone to drive. I could go to some pretentious wine bars (legally!) i could finally go to the US and not be asked if I want a straw in my soda. Dude, 21 is way too old to start drinking...no wonder you're light-weights
Yes I am growing (shame it's horizontally not vertically!)
Dude! Now that's gender-indifferent! (speaking of names - elsewhere)
Gosh, I guess I won't send you a curly straw for your birthday, then. :P
I remembered when I had hit 20...I was so sad, I was no longer a teen, and 19 was the best cos in Canada we can drink at 19.
Mikechau - Teenagerdom is in the mind I plan to be petulant, surly and withdrawn well into my thirties!
FG- Curly straw and a cocktail and then you're talking! Man, I have an evening of cocktails waiting me tonight! Oh Yeah!
