18 and life

2009 October 24

80s rock references aside, I turned 18 fairly recently. The main question I’ve been asked is “HOW DOES IT FEEL?”

… “How does it feel?”? I don’t know, no different?

I bought some alkeehols to celebrate the novelty, but they are left undrunk. Find me an alcohol that I like and I’ll drink it.

Meanwhile, thanks for the lovely cards and presents, folks. :)

Particularly to Cedes who made me this wondrous little Howl’s Moving Castle box with hand-drawn art of Sophie, Howl and others PLUS A LITTLE PLUSHIE CALCIFER :D

    the problem with particular thanks is that it makes all the other gifts offered seem less valued. which is likely unfortunate for anyone who may have gone out of their way to gift you.

    the plushie is pretty nifty.

    Fair point.

    I won’t be changing it.

    (Belated) Happy Birthday, and that is an *awesome* gift. I admit I made a little squeaking noise of excitement when I saw Calcifer plushie.
