not drinking.

i made a promise to myself not to drink or smoke or do drugs or anything like that in my life, and my brothers (who do drink) said the real test was when i turned 21. It wasn't easy with everyone just putting alcohol in my face, but i lived up to that promise and i've gotten over that hump.

it feels good to be 21, now i hope my birthday wish of a girlfriend comes true (no, that wasn't the one i wished for blowing out my candles, i can't tell you that one! hehe!).

why do people find it so hard that others don't drink or smoke or do anything, though? It's like it's a crime O.o

the thrill of not getting caught

yeah but i hear once you turn 21 the thrills gone and its not fun anymore so people stop drinking

unless you're stupid like my brothers =P

There is no thrill in it.. I don't smoke and rarely drink and when I do drink I never drink more than a couple drinks. I say congrats to you and happy belated b'day!

maybe they're jelous, like me

i know i'm jealous, and i don't even know you!

and thankies for the b-day

on my 21first birthday i was home taking care of my daughter, i did buy one beer and that was it.

it was a generalization, people who like doing illegal things like the the thrills in most cases...

I dont find it hard that people dont drink or smoke. I have plenty of straight edge friends who dont.

Only thing i do is drink. Ive never taken any drug. So its easy for me to see.

i promised this girl when i lived in buffalo to buy her my first and last purchase of alcohol

thats bc i liked her...but she lives in NYC now and im back in my hometown...still talk to her on occasion and told her i'd live up to that promise =D

happy b-day and i think it's great that you're a straight shooter! don't let anyone pressure you into anything...stay healthy

i live by living my days like its the last, and don't really care about what others things i should be doing to make myself look cool =].

and thanks!

Happy 21st birthday.

thank you =]

You're welcome.

Does it feel good to be 21?

sounds like you was very tempted if it wasnt easy with drinks in your face, so your not "over that hump" yet. your only 21 and you got MANY more years of temptation to go through

Happy Birthday

I wish I remember when I was 21

only 4 years ago, your memory cant be that bad...lol

Oh, it can...I can remember one thing that happened that year ...

ok so i guess i wasn't "tempted", but just having them shoved in my face was like "ok just do one so they leave you alone", then i knew i had to be strong, esp. for the people who supported me in my decision not to.



no....means i got responsibilities now....haha just playin'. yeah, and it's the one time i actually felt i turned the age. unlike when i turned 13, 16, 18, and 20. i actually FEEL 21, and its a good feeling :)
