Guess how I am spending my 21st birthday?! Blogging, of course! Were you expecting an eventful night of drunken debauchery with my best friends as we romp through bar after bar, flaunting my newfangled ability to legally purchase alcoholic beverages? Well, I am genuinely sorry to disappoint you.
After 21 years of societal and media temptation, I can finally, and legally, consume the demon drink in public; but, to be honest, "celebrating" my 21st birthday does not live up to the hype. I am in no rush to travel to bars and buy over-priced drinks, essentially because I will have the rest of my mortal life to visit the over-glorified bar scene.
You know what I am really looking forward to today? Facebook wall posts. Your birthday is the only day where you are thankful for Facebook because everyone you know or don't know will show you some appreciation. Last year, I felt the love with 80 posts; however, I was a little dissappointed. I am hoping for at least 300 "Happy Birthday" posts this year. I hope that people who do not even know me add me as friends today just to write "Happy Birthday" on my wall.
For clarifcation, a simple "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Birthday Bubba" will not cut it. The least you can do is add an exclamation mark! Do you realize how much happier I feel when I receive a "Happy Birthday!" instead of the bland, boring, and, basically, heartless "Happy Birthday"? You want my birthday to be happy, right? I mean, you are wishing me a happy birthday, aren't you?
You know, on second thought, I should have gone out tonight.
