Title: Yay Just Turned 18
Post by: Godless on January 02, 2009, 08:43:02 AM
Posting this a little late, but I just turned eighteen yesterday on January 1st!   :D  January 1st is really my birthday and I shit you not. Had a small party where my relatives came and chatted. Talked with my cousins about college and all the fun things to do there and they joked about taking me to Paper Moon, which is a local strip club. Also got berated by hundreds of dollars in cash. Looking forward to getting my ass out of my house and going to college to receive some well needed freedom and independence. Also, I've been putting this off, but I intend on reading The God Delusion this year when I'm not so lazy from school and picking up Religulous on Blu-ray when it comes out.

Too bad you stil can't drink, hold an HGV license or rent a car. You also can't run for president, vice president, or be a representative.

You haven't lived until you have been barreling down the motorway in a rented truck, drunk off your face, while running for political office.

Pfft... who actually obeys the legal drinking age? There's something called college parties  :P

Am I the only one who saw "Just Turned 18" and immediately expected a porn pop-up ad?  ;) Just remember that now you can always be charged as an adult! Hope you screwed up and got it out of your system before yesterday!  :D

Happy Belated Birthday! It just so happens today is my Un-Birth Day.

Don't do it. Usually I don't vote simply because I don't want to be the slightest bit responsible for putting either of the two idiots running in office. In the words of Douglas Adams:

"Any man who is capable of having himself made president, should on no account be allowed to do the job."

(or something along those lines....)

Have you registered for the draft yet?

Happy birthday, belated of course! I wish I had some good advice for you, but I don't. Don't listen to Sophus, he's being so pessimistic about voting. Sorry Sophus, but I strongly disagree about voting. Godless, do your best not to miss elections. If we didn't vote, the only people who would vote would be the ultra-conservatives and our fucking rights be even more in jeopardy. Umm, what else...college is fun, yes, but keep focused. It's easy to lose it...

Well if you really want to vote you'll have to register for the draft:   :D

I think I was automatically signed up for the draft when I registered to vote, because I received some mail from the selective service.
