Pardon me while I burst into flames.

I find it hard to believe that I will turn 18 this month.

I don't feel like I'm 18 (then again, what does 18 feel like, anyway?) but at the same time, I never did feel like a child either. I spent a Hell of a lot of my time in the company of adults as I grew up, around musicians and at shows, and I was treated as if I was an adult. I feel no different now to how I did then. Perhaps my liver will suffer from my ability to purchase alcohol, and maybe I'll be forced to learn something about politics in order to make an informed choice with my vote, but overall, legal adulthood is likely to feel just like legal childhood did.

I said I might talk about why I'm vegan today, but I'm going to have to save it for another night if I want to get this thing posted up before 10pm.

I've been avoiding that job thing everyone seems to do for my entire life. However, I am currently not so well-off. Am I going to have to bite the bullet? I have about 2 more weeks of EMA to get me by, and that's it. £60 for the rest of my Summer (and that's if I manage to turn up every day). Meep.

Speaking of Summer; every year, people seem to say "Summer 200_ is going to be the best Summer yet!" or something in a similar vain. It usually makes me quietly laugh to myself because, let's face it, it's usually no better than last year or the year before. I think that this year will be different. I hope that this year will be different. People are spreading out across the country in pursuit of higher education and we're not going to be able to see each other so much anymore. I find that saddening. Money or no, I intend on trying to make this Summer one worth remembering. Who's with me? :)


Sexy: Guys who can play an instrument. It's cliché but it is most certainly true.
Unsexy: Middle-aged guys in flashy sports cars who think that this earns them the label of 'cool'. Gumball 3000 started this weekend, and with that comes an influx of the above.


Days 'til my birthday: 24.
