The Day Before September 11th

So, yesterday was my 21st birthday. Since all of my friends are either under-age or out-of-state, I ended up flying solo.

We have that same policy but as long as you don't cause a ruckus then you should get away with a couple bottles.

Heh, but the time I got there, I forgot the name of the brand Ryan suggested, so I just went with Jack Daniel's.

Oh, and one more thing: Remember these two words: HAPPY HOUR!!!
Find out when and where the bar specials are happening on Union Street or where ever, and keep an eye out for "$2 U-Call-It" nights. Then you get to say, "Jack and ginger" or "Captain and coke" or "Grey Goose and lemonade" or "Magellan and tonic" or "Crown on the rocks" and pay a mere $2. Well, it ends up being $3 since you tip every time (at the bar.) But still, it's a really inexpensive way to experiment. I mean, god forbid you buy a $30 bottle of liquor and find out you don't like it! That would be tragic with a capital T!
Oh my goodness we are going to have so much fun come Christmas time!
YES!!!
