Your 18th

[CrimsonBlaze]

My 18th birthday was pretty awesome. My friends and I decided to go to the beach all day and get a bonfire going until they could kick us out.

We played football in the sand, went swimming on the beach, where the girl that I was in loved with at the time had a "wardrobe malfunction," but I swore I didn't see it (because I truly didn't), we had music playing while we got the BBQ going, we told jokes over the bonfire while roasting marshmallows for s'mores, and I got to spend sometime with the the girl I was in loved with (though we only went for a walk and nothing more).

When we were going to get picked up, rather than go the long way around, I ran and jumped up the side of a hill to the top instead, having of course come back down for my friends and our things. On the ride back, the girl was resting on my shoulder until we dropped her off at her house.

So yeah, it was a pretty epic 18th birthday.

It's less than a week away now, and I am unsure what to do for my birthday party. Maybe I should just put some chairs and a table with food in the garden and be done with it. Gives me a headache, I hate birthday parties, and I hate the stuff that goes with it. Including getting presents, I especially hate that.

Gah, I want to be 16 again.

studying for three APs. Woooo!

I really can't remember how I spent my 18th. I'm pretty sure I had a sweet LAN party.

 

[DANEgerous]

I went to an epic water park and had the worst sore thought of my life, I teas like some one force my to swallow 10,000 broken beer bottles. It was rather shit after all the fun wore off.

As for my 21st (our one that let you drink booze) I had and awesome diner and that is about it, did not have my first drink for the next 518 days on my cousin's 21 where in he purchased every liquor known to man and i sampled out of curiosity till I was hammered.

 

[Wadders]

Went to town with mates, drank far too much, went to clubs, spewed copiously inside and outside of said clubs, went home, passed out, got teabagged.

I love my friends...

I turned 18, I was now considered an adult, I was so happy.
My friends told me congrats I can now smoke cigarettes and be forced into a war. Still I didn't care because I could do what I wanted, because I was an adult.
I went to a comedy club with my parents, because I don't like strangers touching my provocatively (so no strippers). I was immediately shown the door because I was under 21.

And the "I'm an adult now." bubble burst.

The End

 

[Nooh]

Had family and friends over, had cake and generally just a good time, had some beer later during the evening, but nothing much.

The day after, though, I went out to eat at a sports bar, and then I had more beer and even more beer after that. Didn't get very drunk, though.

I turned 18 last month. I had a LAN the entire weekend and laughed at eurovision. That was lulzy.

 

[Random berk]

Hmm. My 18th was fairly unimpressive. Stayed at home, studied, had family over. Or was that my 17th? Who can remember? My 21st though, that was a good night. Brought a bunch of college friends out to my house, we had good food, loud music, one guy accidentally got faceplanted in the tiles outside, and two people had sex in my brother's bed without realising that he was passed out in it at the time. Ah, good times.

]Happy Birthday : )

I turned 18 last year (My birthday's next month). I just bought two games (Arkham Asylum and Blazeblue: Calamity Trigger)

Sort of snap. My brother got me Arkham Asylum for my 18th as well.

On-topic. Nothing in particular. I had beer at the end of the day and that was about it.

Edit: Oh and Happy Birthday Mighty Lighty.

I actually graduated from high school on my 18th birthday. Beyond that I don't think I did anything special. Big celebrations were never really my thing.

I can sympathize with your situation, as today is my 20th birthday and I still haven't finished my last paper of the school year yet.

 

[evenest]

On my own. My girlfriend's parents punished her for the whole month--I think it had something to do about grades, but they often did everything they could to keep us separated. While I saw her at school during the day, I went home and spent a quiet evening without her. We might have snuck a call at some point, though I don't remember it if we did.

As my birthday is on St. Patrick's day, I always get a day off and usually spend it consuming drugs and having fun, but on my 18th bday I remember feeling pretty lousy so I didn't do anything, just sat around my house until my parents took me out to dinner.

In the years since then I haven't really celebrated my birthday in any way, more so St. Patrick's day itself, like last year I went to 2 house parties and got wasted drunk and high off my ass. Year before same thing. Never even tell people its my birthday.

EDIT: I remember now that my brothers 21st was about a week before my 18th, I think my mum tried to incorporate celebrating my birthday into that somehow, but I was waaaaaay to smoked to be the center of any sort of attention that night, literally sat in the corner of the room with my eyes hanging out of my head listening to a guy who I thought was actually Neil Young perform on a stage no bigger than a coffee table.

 

[Suicidejim]

I did nothing, really. Went out for a meal with family and girlfriend, that's about it. Not much of a celebratory kind of guy.

 

[s0p0g]

i finished my first 3000 pieces puzzle (yeah, i know, not too big, but i had just started shortly before, and don't have/had many opportunities to puzzle) in my living room.
it was great ^^

 

[William Dickbringer]

nothing much had some friends over and spent it playing halo it got hot two xboxes in the middle of summer out in the garage sucked but worth it
also happy 18th

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

I did fuck all, sat and played video games because I'm a miserable, lonely, shut in.

What a great day :3

Be honest, everyone. Most of us did exactly this.

Next Tuesday on my 19th, however, I'm doing a 6 person LAN party with my friends. So it will be just like last year, only I won't be forever alone.

Had it all planned to go out with friends. Another set of twins we were friends with had a van so they always picked everyone up - they also weren't drinkers so they were our DDs. They were to gather everyone and then pick up my sister and I before we headed out to some pub or something. I forget.

However, these girls were always known for being incredibly late as well. As we knew this, we told them (and let everyone else know) an hour earlier than intended.

My sister and I got all fixed up, then sat down to wait for them as we knew they'd still be a bit late.

... They didn't show until two hours past the real (not one hour earlier) time we'd given them. Basically, they were three hours late. All our friends had to wait that long for them, too. When they finally did show up, my sister went and hopped in... I went up to the window, proceeded to tell them how inconsiderate they were and how upset and disappointed I was, and then went back inside.

My sister had a nice time, I think. I would have been too pissed off to enjoy it even if I had gone.

We stayed friends until University life pulled us apart due to different areas of study.


Edit: The day of, we'd been working with Japanese Exchange Students and it was a day spent having a BBQ at the park with their homestay families and such, so it was a nice day. I even got a clover-woven crown from the girls. Took them forever to make it.
