I demand a recount!

[ladymirth]

I have decided.

Since I have no interest whatsoever in either drinking or voting or driving or whatever you are supposed to be able to do in any hemisphere once you are of age, I have come to the following conclusion.

I am not turning twenty-one.

See, its all for the greater good, all right? I mean, I've always thought that the practice of becoming a legal adult just 'cause you've hit on so many birthdays was extremely dodgy. I mean, there should be a standardized test for this sort of thing. Becoming a legal adult is srz biznaz! Where are the qualifications, I ask you?

Anyway, I'm not ready. I can't even drive yet, and I've never worked a single job. It's entirely possible I can't cross the street by myself. I can't bring myself to interest myself in current affairs or politics or any of that shit. Declaring me a legal adult is just a waste of government money.

So I won't. Turn twenty-one, I mean. If that's okay with you. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to remain not-twenty-one forever. I know I gotta bite the dust and become old and tired and responsible sometime. But that day is not today. I'm just not ready to take that step, World. It's not you, it's me. 

Really.

So...I'll just let you know when I'm ready, all right? It won't be long, just gimme about another two..three...years?

I ain't turning twenty-one. 

You can't make me, damnit!

Shan't! Shan't, shan't shan't! Don't wanna! Won't! I won't turn twenty-one! You'll see!

So...so there!

Be happy you're considered a legal adult in your country at the age of 21. I became an adult according to the law when I turned 18. And only now do I start to feel like one. ;) And I'm 26 now. (Gonna stay 26 for the next few years, anyway :D).

So yeah, stay a happy 20 year old woman for a while. Fine with me. But a driver's licence is fun!
