Turning 18

I will soon be 18, on September 15 to be exact. I am excited about a number of things that will happen when I am legally an adult. The first I am going to do is get my septum pierced. Zachary and I are going to go to the Scorpion’s Den in Davenport to do it. It's also a tattoo parlor and might be tempted to get the Wu-Tang tat I've been wanting but I might wait on that.  

After that, my mother and the rest of my family will be going to eat at my restaurant of choice (which is always Arthur’s). I will most likely get a small number four with LMO and a cup of cream of potato soup, and then grab a chocolate cake cone on my way out the door. I’m going to assume that I won’t be receiving any presents for two reasons; one, I already got my “birthday present” a month ago (my weave and hair straightener) from my parents, and two, I don’t want to think I’m going to get something and then be disappointed when I don’t.

The following day, Friday, my sister and I are going to go play bingo! I am so stinkin' excited for bingo. I have heard so many wonderful about playing from my mother and sister and am glad that I can finally join in on the fun. The Friday night pots are usually pretty big so hopefully I win and can buy myself the Teavana set I want as a special birthday gift from myself.

Some of the less exciting things about turning 18, that I will soon be a part of are being able to go get my mother cigarettes when she needs them. I'm not particularly pumped about this but my boyfriend will be glad that he won't have to go in and ask for a pack of Misty Silvers anymore. Techincally, I could go to strip clubs if I ever I wanted too but I don't see that I would ever would. It's just nice to know that I could. This upcoming election, I can cast my vote. I am already registered and then i can talk politics with adults because I am finally part of the process.

I am finally going to be as old as I feel and my age will no longer hold me back.
