The drinking age was 18 in Wisconsin when I turned 18. I didn't drink at all when I was in high school because I was alway the one driving. Didn't get drunk until I started college.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My 21st we were doing tech for a show so at midnight we ran to the nearby campus bar and I did a stoplight shot trio with two friends, then went back to the theater. The evening of my birthday we went to...TGIFridays maybe?? Someplace with kahlua mudslides but that my under 21 friends could also come with

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, my 21st birthday was a bar crawl in Harvard Square with two friends, one a bartender, one with a hollow leg. It did not end well for me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Emmett!
Just got back from the Renaissance Faire. It was fun, we got to see the performers we wanted to see and ran into some friends. It was quite hot, though.

Skipped like 1000 posts - cannot believe I haven't been here since before the eclipse.
I've just finished watching anot episode of Handmade in America which featured a millinery from Charleston SC who ,pages the kind of harps that get displayed in the Kentucky Derby Museum Last week they featured the Dehner Boot Company and they have featured amazing hand-tooled saddles it's on anew odd channel Inspiration (or something) and also features repeats of Walker? Texas Ranger which makes me think I probably shouldn't be supporting it - but Kentucky Derby Hats!!! Handmade riding boots!! Amazing hand tooled saddkes!!

Our wings are not tired.
Happy birthday Emmett!
18 was the drinking age for me in NY. By the time I was 21 I was living outside Philly with DH#1 in an apartment sleeping on the floor and eating with a cardboard box for a table. I remember clearly thinking that adulthood was not at all impressive. Of course we did have several hundred albums and lots of high end stereo equipment from working in radio. But no furniture.

Ugh, I was at uni for my 19th. Where people kept buying me random drinks all night. I was, at one point, literally sitting under the table at our school bar.

I think the drinking age was 18 when I came of age but I've never been much of a drinker or a socialiser

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry Epic
And -t, gah! Sounds like too much work stress, although I'm glad that there's a will-work-for-now option. Commute is not a small thing, but nicer location may work out.
Oh and I said it on FB but happy birthday, Emmett!

My memory of my 21st is of going to A bar and getting A nice cocktail, and feeling very grow up, then deciding I maybe didn't want to get drunk and it was starting to get late anyway. I dunno, maybe there were 2 nice cocktails? That sounds more likely, doesn't it? Anyway I was really crap at sowing my wild oats.
