Sleepy Birthday Memories

30DBC - 2nd Jan - Prompt: Saturday Emily 's 21st birthday, and the 30DBC wouldn't be what it is now without her leadership. In lieu of the traditional Creation Saturday prompt, what is your best birthday memory?
And wish Emily a happy birthday too...she checks in on us every once in awhile *Wink*.


Yo! Emily! Happy Birthday for two days ago

Well, that's half of the prompt accounted for. This post is obviously two days late. However, I'm not entirely sure it should be classed as late since it is very rare that I wish anyone a happy birthday on the actual day. Just saying.

Yesterday, my plan was to write my entries for all the prompts so far, then today I'd be up to date. But, I wrote one (poorly) and this happened --> - so that plan went out the window.
Today, I've got to this point aaaaand ... I slept reasonably well last night, so I thought i'd be okay... clearly not. it is 11:30 and I need a nap. BALLS>

I shall return

Right, it's 1:53pm and I'm kinda back. I'm still not feeling all that well, but I'll give this a go.

Since it was Emily's 21st, I figure I'll talk about my own 21st birthday - even though it depresses me that it was nearly ten years ago! eeesh... I feel old.

The day I turned 21 was the first day I was asked for ID so I could buy cigarettes and alcohol. I laughed because I'd been buying both since I was 14 years old. It took the world seven years to catch up with me. Man! I had to leave the shop to hunt for my driving licence.

Anyway, I decided to go out and be ridiculous that night. My friends and I got dressed up in posh dresses... We searched everywhere, but I think I ended up wearing one of my bridesmaid dresses, that looked a little like this:

But, honestly? That was a little normal for where we were going. So we topped our dresses off with extremely over the top costume jewelry, like so:

To be fair, we looked pretty random. Well, that's me being polite... we looked hideous. But after a few drinks, it didn't really matter

All dressed up, we went to a pub, watched some live music and got kinda drunk. From there we went to a local gay club night (so much more fun than regular club nights) named after long-term Eastenders (UK soap) character Dot Cotton...


It was lots of fun! Although, my friend did manage to tip curry sauce ALL over my dress! Niiiiice!

Woooop I did it! I stayed awake!
