Blurb My Brain:

As the title suggests, I am turning 21.  I have been turning 21 for the last three weeks, in my mind, and I don't think I have come to grips with the fact in all its entirety.  See, I guess when I picture 21 year olds, I picture the same type of 21 year olds you see in the movies, making out and getting drunk, and causing havoc on the world.  The thing is, I've got a full time job and full time school.  Full time partying just doesn't fit in there.  I think it has to do with the Triangle of College life theory.... which is shown here.

I currently have all three, but I have a cut off top.  I'm just not at the top of my grade-game.  Anyway, (that is why this is Blurb my Brain, since I do tend to get off topic) the point is that I have been living in Germany, where the drinking age for liquor is 18, so I've had access to it my whole adult life.  Turning 21 was piddly.  Insignificant even.  I thought maybe I'd at least have a change of scenery and therefore trick my drunk mind that I'd be doing something new and fantastic.  But alas, plans change (life likes to give me the middle finger at times) so I went to the same old bar(s) with my same best friend.  We had the same routine, and the only different was that I was wearing a tiara.  My birthday was fun, and I didnt make it to 21 shots, (11 was the final count, but only because I didn't want to cross that line between feeling really loopy and about to puke...[that's what I mean about 21 being insignificant. I mean, if I know my limit, how am I supposed to surpass it and make a fool out of myself--I mean celebrate?]) but it just was overall very disappointing.

Fear not though, fellow mortals, for my birthday has not come and gone! Yes, my birthday is actually tomorrow. lol.  (Yet another reason I think 21 didn't matter, because I can get away with being at the bar two days prior to my actual fricken birthday. AHH!).  So, I'm going to create another facebook event, and going to invite everyone, and hope that more than just my one best friend shows up.  I celebrated my birthday three weekends in a row last year, I don't see why an additional day this year would be any less acceptable.

To reward you for listening/reading this much blurbing, I will show you one of my favorite drunk faces.
 

I'm just that sexy.
