LOL! I know how important 18 is. I turned eighteen last year and now I'm nineteen, so kudos for the both of us! Wahoo! ~mmadlyinlove~

it's a fun b-day. you have to do something stupid though, just make sure it's not permanent. I took out the ring a few minutes ago because I didn't really like how it looked, but it was fun while it lasted

it actually hurt a lot less than I'd heard it would. I heard people talking about not beig able to bend over while wearing pants, and mine was mostly fine. It hurt when I hugged people to hard and such, but not that much. And the piercing itself wan't that bad, just a jab and then another one and then it was over. The only thing is that it can be kinda expensive. I live ina real college town, so everything has to be on the inexpensive side or no one would ever do any buisness, but other places it can be pretty expesive, so be sure you want it for at last a little while. If you think you might take it out in a few years its worth it, but a few days isn't if it's alot

That would be me, as long as you enjoy Pepsi and Pumpkin Juice! And, because I'm an overachiever when it comes to cooking, I brought the cake decorated with a picture of a young Albus! lol I hope that is enough for me to be forgiven for my tardiness! ;D

I'll bring Alcohol... ;D Oh, wait. What's the legal age for that in America? I have this sinking feeling that it's 21... If it is I'll bring... Erm. Hell I'll bring alcohol anyway. And chocolate

yeah, the drinking age (not that many of us follow it) is 21. We can buy porn and go off to die for our country at 18, but heaven help us should we try to buy alcohol!

I never understood that...When I was in the US I asked a guy about it in a bar once..He said that the lower drinking age in the UK made is all violent alcoholics..I was quite upset so I pointed out that we were far less likely too shoot each other, which didn't go down too well, (not sure thats true now anyway). I think the UK law is mad too. You can get married at 16 (and waste years of your life..not to mention thousands of pounds on the wedding, and thousands more on the subsequent divorce) but not have a glass of champagne to celebrate.

If they keep it up we're going to be able to drink before we can drive. Once again IL is trying to raise the driving age. God forbid they wait one more year no they have to have it affect the 92/93 class that includes me I want my freeking car. It's 16 at the moment but they're thinking of trying to raise it to 18 watch the next year will be 21. Which is what my idiot stepdad thinks it should be. He thinks we should be able to drink when we're 18 though. Our country is SCREWED UP. I blame it all on Shrub(aka Bush the idot president)

You are welcome for the cake. lol
Does anyone know the comedian Josh Blue? He has cerebal palsy (sp?) and he makes jokes about how people are always patronizing him saying "Hey there little buddy," in a sing song voice like he is a little kid because he is disabled. For the special olympics and para-olympics, the athletes get to meet the President. So when he met Bush he said "Hey there little buddy." lol My boyfriend went to see Blue and Jim Gaffighan perform tonight and he was telling me about it. Cracked me up!
So will you ladies be voting McCain?

Oh reading all of that only reminded me how much I love Englamd, and Labour coincidentally. Our legal drinking age is 18, not that many of us follow it. But we can't get married here at 16 or 17 without parental permission, which isn't quite the same.
Bush is an idiot, we have a poster of Bushisms in my sociology room at Sixth Form. 'I stand by all the misstatements I have made' Lmao!

Ha! Shrub...I've never heard that one before-my mom will love it! I was so happy when nearly everyone I voted for won... I will not be voting for McCain...I would vote for Hillary even though I'm not sure my dear party will be able to give her their undivided support. Whichever democrat that has the best chance of getting the Republicans out of the white house-I'm supporting them! And yes...Bush is an idiot, possibly the stupidest man alive. I would compare him to Fudge, except I sorta felt sorry for him 'cuz at least he admitted his mistakes!!!

Thats interesting misshoneychurch we are always being told we have the highest teen pregnancy rate too...maybe it's the governments way to get teens to keep ther pants on...lol. Most Brits think Bush (shrub..I love that) is an arse. I am embaressed that our esteamed 'leader' feels the need to follow him like a lapdog in every decision he makes. (not that I would vote conservative either)
