What was your 21st birthday like?

Sara Lynn

I missed you guys! I took a break from posting but I've been reading a lurking a bit, and now since it's almost 2 months away from my 21st birthday (!!!) I wanna know how some of you spent your own.

I haven't had a birthday since I was like.. 13, so I'm excited. You guys stories will make me more excited.

GO.

I was actually hoping to get some ideas from here for my girlfriend's birthday this coming week.

Bloods End

Mine's still coming up.

I'll think I'll go to a bar and not drink. Same like my 18th were I bought a pack of cigs when I don't smoke.

The-Pimp

My 21st is in July.

I was stone cold sober.

Living in england at the time we had been drinking the better part of 3 months before I turned 21. The english kids didn't think it was all that big a deal and the americans..well...we had been drinking for 3 months before hand.

Went out to a nice dinner with a group and then over to a house party. Had a great time and my first "legal" drink was purchased by my girlfriend at the time who was 20.

A few days later (halloween) I celebrated by being so blasted out of my mind that I ran from cops who weren't even chasing me. I'm told I yelled something about "Oh, no. It's the po-po." and took off like a shot.

It was two weeks after I had shoulder surgery and my first day back at work. I have no luck with birthdays.

Wren

like my last 6 birthdays, nothing special happened. just an other day

Pojaco

Drank at my house until the clock struck 12. Went to a bar at midnight, bartender gave me a bunch of free Jager, also a flaming Dr. Pepper, and then I ended up throwing up at my house shortly after. It was just ok.

I can't believe Americans have to be 21 to be able to drink....

And most drink before then anyway... in which case, it's dumb to make a big deal out of your 21st birthday if it doesn't signify anything.

Anyway, on my 19th birthday I worked all day and then watched a movie at a friend's house. I think I may have had a pina colada or something just because. It really wasn't any different than any other birthday.

I went to a zoo and fed lemurs.

I'll tell you on November 18th.

I have been drinking, but this time I'll get to do it IN PUBLIC.

And if the cops see me stumbling home they won't arrest me!

I'll also be able to order fancy mixed drinks! And not have to drink Natural Ice..!!

Pojaco

Also, I just recently started watching House, and I have a question. Do they ever get over the person collapses at beginning-House gets convinced to take the case-House is wrong 3 or 4 times until the end-House saves the day formula? Because the show is pretty good (10 episodes in) but I'm starting to tire of that formula.

Yay?

And when all my friends are like 'k we're going to the bar' I don't have to be the only one to get dropped off at home cause I can't go.

I was really expecting some awesome stories. I dunno why.

RabidDonkey

Drank some at my house for awhile, then went to the bars with some friends and drank a bunch. Think total was like 19 shots (just couldent make it to 21) then had some pizza went to bed and woke up drunk woot woot !!

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU DO.

If I could get drunk and feed lemurs I totally would.

Aw, fuck, I'd do it sober. I love their little faces.

My 21st birthday was spent with my family at my favorite Italian Restaraunt back home.

I had some tasty chocolate liqour drink that was good. I was still uneasy about drinking alcohol in general at that point.

It was funner than you might imagine, one of the last times I can remember my parents gathering together in one place. (They get along ok.)

This is probably not getting you very excited.

Meissnerd

I had some friends over, and we played Soul Caliber 2 and drank a bit in the basement.

This was my 18th birthday, though. You can drink legally in Canada when you're 18. Yeah.

lostwords

Went to Medieval Times with friends, got my name anounced by the sound guy. Ate a mini-chicken with my bare hands, got a souvenir photo, yelled things at the king like "I fucked the queen" and "You call that a sword". My first legal drink was a Strawberry Daquiri. Wooo crazy times.

Frosted Butts

I got arrested and put in a psych ward because I was on too many hallucinogenic drugs.

After I got out, it was like beer and pussy for days.

Mo1son

My 19th was half a bottle of rum and 40 shots of sake. Thank god I didn't end up in the hospital. Although apparently I made it all by myself to a mall about half a mile from the restaurant and passed out in the parking lot just puking my guts out. Luckily, my girlfriend called my cellphone and one of my sober friends directed her to come pick me up. After I got home, it was 3 more hours of puking and then blissful passing out. The best part was no hangover whatsoever. Also, I didn't remember any of it, which kinda sucked.

tl;dr: I got wasted and couldn't find my own way home.

Sara Lynn

Ohhh man I wish we had a Medieval Times!!!! :O

That actualy sounds really nice, Arsenic. It's not crazy-go-nuts fun but good memories = good birthday.

SA

I'm like one of the oldest out of my group of friends (2 of my buds are like a month or two older than me) so I don't think I'm going to a bar. I can't buy booze at a store though because my birthday is on a Sunday and Georgia is a dry state.

I guess I'll just go out to eat at a regular restaurant (that serves alcohol) with friends.

lostwords

That 21st was kinda low key. Though I always celebrate more when its a friend's 21st. When my best friend turned 21, she had an open bar party for three hours. I blacked out before hour 1 was up. According to friends, I was pushed down the stairs by the bouncer, puked in front of an empty cop car, my roommate driving us home got a DWI, I pass out in the bath tub, and somehow wake up between two gay dudes, with my best friend curled up at our feet. I wish I can remember what happened.

Do they serve big mugs of brew there? Because I'm so going there if they do.

Started in the vicinity of S. Padre Island and ended up somewhere in Matamoros roughly 2 days later.

Edit: and I never did find my shoes

I think so, yeah. The prices are ridiculously expensive though. Better to sneak a flask in if you want to watch it buzzed. Also, I got to sit on a knight's lap before the show. I recommend Medieval Times 21st for anyone looking for low key.

Also, I just recently started watching House, and I have a question. Do they ever get over the person collapses at beginning-House gets convinced to take the case-House is wrong 3 or 4 times until the end-House saves the day formula? Because the show is pretty good (10 episodes in) but I'm starting to tire of that formula.

yeah, eventually the episodes end up with House solving stuff immediately and then he and Wilson do some old fashioned ragtime song and dance routines, and then after that got old they started doing episodes where they didn't even have a sick person, they just have House do motorcylce stunts.

-renewed my drivers license
-purchased about $100 worth of booze
-drank late into the night with my roommate


21st birthdays are boring when none of your friends are 21

Butters

I cashed about half a bottle of Grey Goose that night. I was passed out by 1:30a

Wren

what, your friends were actually worried the police would come crashing through the windows, busting them for underaged drinking?

Did he jump over a shark?

Apparently on my 21st birthday, we went to Sioux Falls and hung out, I bought a Steve Martin CD, a Mitch Hedberg CD and a JLA trade.

I'm getting this from my livejournal.

Apparently the next day I had 5 partial seizures.

He jumped 5 sharks, 3 of which were on fire.

I imagine that my 21st birthday will be an epic waste

I guess it all depends

But there's alcoholism that runs in my family, and that's not something I want to toy with

FAQ

Had a party at my parents house, spent the whole night trying to get with some girl that i sure as hell didn't invite, there's a huge blank space here since i wasn't hanging with my friends and was drunk so i never found out what i was doing for about 30% of the night, the girl turned out to be incredibly weird and went to the bathroom in my garden, then at around 3 me and some friends tried to find my old tree house which is about quarter of a mile away in some field got lost and ran afoul of some horses,
then one of my female friends decided to she wanted to sleep in my bed that night,

which i thought sounded like a great thing until i realised it meant i was sleeping on the floor,

tl;dr: failed to have sex with one girl, met some horses, failed to have sex with another girl
