Well it finally happened. I turned 21. Although not how I had pictured (or hoped, for the most part) that it would be, it's none-the-less cool.
Not much more than a year and a half or so ago, I had a steady paycheck and lots of extra money out of each one, no serious relationship, a best friend I never thought I would lose, and a nice car I was really happy with. Fast forward to now, and I am a pizza delivery boy that doesn't have a vehicle that I can drive although I own two. And even though I now have an amazing girlfriend that I have been with for over a year, I have a "best friend" who won't go on my 21st birthday weekend getaway because he doesn't like my girlfriend (although he is the one who pretty much hooked us up).
But still, I went out and at about 12:15am(ish), made my first liquor purchase. It wasn't thrilling like my best friend and I had imagined, I didn't feel like any more of a man, and I wasn't suddenly a stud. But it was still cool in my own little world
But I do get one thing I wanted: a celebration. This weekend, my brother, a good friend of mine, and my girlfriend are all going bar hopping at my brothers in Iowa (I live in Illinois). As one of his presents to me, my brother is footing the bill, housing everyone, and giving us all a fresh, home made breakfast the next morning.
But anyway, that's my spiel. Good night all!!
Cliffs:
1) 1 1/2 yrs ago I had money and a best friend.
2) Fast forward to now: Amazing girlfriend but no best friend because he doesn't like g/f although he hooked us up.
3) I bought liquor.
4) Free drinking for me and my closest this weekend with brother.
5) Yay!
