Happy Birthday!

 

Thank you for all the details and facts with which you constantly support me in IRC Pen chat. In the way my mind thinks it works, facts are useless, so I greatly appreciate a precision and memory like yours.

 

Turning eighteen can also open up freedoms as well as responsibilities. although I suppose freedom can be scarier than no choices at all for some.

18, 'eh?

 

Enjoy the next two years. Your last two as a kid

 

I dunno what you're meant to do with your 20th year. Aside from drink a lot. It's such a pointless year. A one year void seperating adulthood and... that... umm... mental blank, damnit. Teenage years word thing.... stupid gray matter going in my old age...

I don't know how it works in Australia Aard, but here at 18 I'm not really considered a kid.

 

I can vote, drink, go to strip clubs etc...

 

I had the best day too, I helped my uncle (and neighbor) re-shingle his roof.

I had the big belt with the hammer, measuring tape, cutter, nails and all. Pretty funny sight for my mother and sister. I might just drop out of uni to work on rooves. ;)

(Good thing I turned 18 today too, because the pitch gun said it was unsuitable for children.)

 

Also I believe the word you are looking for is 'adolescence.'

*Hugs* Happy birthday, then. You're about a year and a half closer to being a nonadolescent than I. (Considering some of the 21-30 year olds I know, I'm not sure "adult" is the proper term)

 

Enjoy what there is left of the day.

I have the age thing covered. You know how time passes more slowly when you're bored? Well having been bored for the last 5 years I'm actually around 30 by now.
