If I didn't already
mention it to you, let me say now that in about a week's time I will reach the
tender age of twenty-one. I've mentioned this to quite a few people, and they
all seem more excited about it than I do. Every single person - that's: Every.
Single. Person. I mentioned that to immediately asked if I was going out
drinking. Even people who were younger than me asked that. Heck, I had somebody
younger than me recommend a drink I should try (a Grateful Dead?). While I will
not resort to using emoticons, that recommendation did result in a serious case
of raised eyebrow. Anyway, I would like to set the record clear here and now
that I have no intention of imbuing any alcohol before, on, or after my
twenty-first birthday. It's not for health reasons or anything (you should see
how much fatty food I eat), but because I have seen what it does to people too
many times. The sauce makes people either stupid or aggressive (frequently
both), which are the two personality traits I hate most in humanity. I don't
want to be relegated to that kind of a person. A few people have tried to push
the drinking thing, so I told them that the only way I would drink on my
birthday is if they bought for me a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, which,
I understand, is one of the more expensive beverages (and it also comes in a
pretty box). If you all drink, I don't care (that's your decision), but it just
isn't for me. That's all I have to say about that.

Finally someone who shares my sentamate! (sp?) I think drinking is just down right lame, and that seems to confound everyone i know. I give you a high five for not drinking! When is your birthday.
That's how it was when my boyfriend turned 21. That's why I made sure to be with him on his birthday to make sure noone got any weird ideas about getting him drunk. Sure he drinks every once in a while, but NEVER to get drunk; only like one drink a DAY usually. I've tried some he got me, but never even got a buzz. XD We only have wimpy stuff like Mike's Hard, though. ^_~ If you have ONE drink, you won't get stupid or aggressive, lol. And maybe that will please the people who just won't shut up about it.
