I'm feeling x9876543 times better today than I did yesterday. I think it's because I'm leaving for school in 2 days again. I miss Miami dearly. Never thought I'd say that. :)
But anyway, I have to express my EXTREME pleasure in the fact that within DAYS....
I'm going to be LEGAL!
L-E-G-A-L
And although, being 18 doesn't really get me into many clubs on South Beach, or ANY of P.Diddy's yacht parties, it gives me FREEDOM.
This means, that I can officially fulfill my dreams of world dominationn!
Or......at least that's how I used to imagine my 18th birthday.
The reality of it is that turning 18 doesn't guarantee me anything, except that now they can send me to prison if I commit a crime. Oh, what an awful thing to say, but it's true.
18 means I can officially max out a credit card and have bad credit for the next 25 years.
18 means I can legally buy ciggarettes and smoke a pack a day.
18 means that my mommy's gonna have to stop claiming me on her taxes pretty soon....
18 means that I have the responsibility of voting for responsible people to run this country.
18 means that if I have sex with the 16 year old boyfriend that I DON'T have, I'm considered a child predator...
18 means I can spend thousands of dollars on lotto tickets that I'll probably never win...
18 means I can hit the strip clubs and slide measly one-dollar bills in half-naked women's (who probably have families to support off their tips) G-strings....
18 means I can drink in MEXICO....arrrriiiibbbaa!
18 means I can buy a pornographic magazine without the fear of the cashier asking for my ID
18 means I can cruise South Beach in my imaginary car, without worrying about the rules of a Permit.
18 means I can date all the sexy, slimeball older guys who would normally refer to me as "jailbait"
18 means I can get that "I HEART MOM" tattoo that I never wanted.
And last....but not least....18 means I should probably quit squeeling whenever somebody turns on my favorite Jonas Brothers song.........
And although I'm not going to do ANY of the above.....(except VOTE)
It's always nice to know that age gains you some kind of rights.
Unlike turning 16....which only made me mad because I DIDN'T get one of those infamous Super Sweet MTV bullshit parties....
Or turning 17....which got me into the same R rated movies I had been getting into since I was 12.
18 actually gets legal recognition.....and unlike so many other 18 year olds, I want to begin my own journey in life and most importantly.....GAIN MY INDEPENDANCE.
.....Or....maybe I should get a job before I start trying to wein myself off of my parents monetary support. Hehe. There's no sense in biting the hands that fed me my whole lifee.
Especially when doing so would only leave me broke and wishing I was 17 again :)
Haha......
Peace, Love && NO MORE FAKE ID'S (not that I ever had one....)
