of age
my 18th birthday was a lot better than i generally expected. i got a phonecall just after midnight and then went and had my obligatory post-midnight cigarette with my mum. woke at 6.45 to "open presents" or lack there of as now i am 18 people have gone down the money route. i've got £300 so far and i've yet to recieve a gift from my dad.
i went for lunch with Stefan in Wetherspoons which was too nice a place for my liking so when Stefan left, myself, Joey and Patrick went to The Fleet and spent about £10 on the games machine and won £1 back. then put it back in and lost it. I dislike LCD touchscreens with a passion now.
after a while we went back to my house and then proceeded down to The Registry to meet up with some friends and get "smashed".
i did very well i think. between 8 and midnight i drank 6 pints (pints for a pound night on tuesday so my luck was in), 5 shots of sambucca (my new love in life), a tequila slammer (thanks to stefan) and a cherry VK which was given to me during a very sloppy game of pool.
it was a good night though, i don't usually like my birthday, i think it's a lot of fuss over nothing-wow you've survived another year...congratulations.
also, about being 18, i despise the inevitable "now you're an adult" crap like being able to vote and being more responsible than you were the day before. it's truly boring me and has made me dislike the age in a way. It's really not a big deal to me, i'm just happy i can go to the pub.
otherwise, life is peachy. i haven't written anything in a long time as my computer's harddrive finally peaked under the pressure and is currently undergoing technical surgery.
college is getting quite strenuous again, it was this time last year (to the day) that i gave up and i can feel the same nag for freedom that i did last time, but still i work on.
since i last wrote, a lot has gone on. i won't bore you now as i haven't the energy, but generally i am living for the weekends (a phrase that hasn't left my lips in a very long time), new years was good-it was held at my house and consisted of myself, joshua, stefan, anton, tim and will getting intoxicated and jumping on the back of a pick up lorry along with the rest of my street, i have a boyfriend (joshua, my best friend of 1 and a half years) and it's going well apart from the fist fights.
generally 2007 has been good to me so far. all i need to do to make it better is stick it out at college, perhaps get some kind of qualifications and get a job (i need to earn 10 grand by 2009).
laaavly.
