I demand a recount!

ladymirthI 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!
*pouts*

Happy Birthday! *hugs* from over on this side of the pacific.
And, you know, as far as I'm concerned, it's not how old you are, it's how old you feel. I myself am still 18. And with twenty years of practice, I can tell you I'm getting pretty darn good at it. *lol*
