Not as wrongly and sad as I did.
Also, with my birthday being the day after Christmas, there wasn't much opportunity to celebrate my 18th in any adult fashion whatsoever.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

So Pumpkin started nuzzling the speaker, after staring intently, every time Stacia L. Brown spoke. [link] I mean, I love her voice too, and the content, but Pumpkin *really* liked her voice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
More than ever, I feel like I seriously did my teens and twenties wrong.
I had perfect attendance in high school. Who *does* that?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fun to hear how everybody celebrated their legal majority!
Talked to Emmett finally. He'd been asleep all day because the debauch began LAST night when he turned 21 at Midnight. So he'd been sleeping all day recovering from his hangover.
We both agreed that binge drinking is an overrated form of celebration.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Friends took me to a dive punk rock bar on my 21st, then to a "rising star" concert sponsored by a local radio station, with bands they thought might become something: Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, and Jane's Addiction.

I did the "hit a real bar" at midnight, went to work still kinda sloshed, and then I don't recall if we went out that night or not. I say real bar because we used to hang out at the E club on base - the over 18 club for enlisted sailors (and marines). Sure, we drank there too - but that didn't count.
But the drinks of choice after midnight were flaming orgasms (my husband was out at sea, so obviously I needed those) and butterscotch schnapps (cause it is hilarious to try to say butterscotch schnapps after you have had a few).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I think my then-boyfriend took me out and bought me a drink on my 21st birthday. I wasn't in much of a celebratory mood, as my best friend was in the hospital, in the ICU back in her hometown.

We actually set a fire in the fireplace last night because it got down into the low 50s. And my son is a pyromaniac.
