Yes folks, I'm 21 today. I've had two different people tell me that it's all downhill from here - they were obviously joking, but it doesn't do me much good. I need reassurance, please

Statistically, you are likely to have for more sex in the remainder of your life than you had in the begining of it.
And you can have a drink in America! *chuckles*

Ohh, so Mother Nature needs a favor? Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts, and plagues and poison monkeys. Nature started the fight for survival and now she wants to quit because she's losing...well I say "Hard Cheese"!

The rest is what happens after you open the door and go outside. There's a potential for more excitement than you can stand, terror, love, anger, betrayal, loyalty, realizing you can have an effect on the world (just not the way you fantasized about in school), and more.
If you think turning 21 is anticlimactic, you haven't experienced life yet. 21 is just the starting gun.

Naah, I feel alright now. It was just this feeling that I was getting old. There's just so much that I want to do with my life, but I realised yesterday that it was just the beginning. I can do so much now, and I will. I have opportunities that my parents or their parents never had and I am going to avail myself of them.
Frank: I'd never trust a man who didn't feel better at the prospect of getting more sex. It's all pre-programmed. We're meant to get out there and sow our seed..... *ducks to avoid the barrage of objects thrown by the women*

I turn 22 on Saturday.
So many women.
So little time.
It's criminal.
Yeah! Male chauvinist thread! Woo!

You will find that things don't get much worse till you reach the mid thirtys. At that point, your body starts to betray you. Like when you sneeze and pull a mussle.

Tim: How can one feel old at 21?
Well, why do people think that Britney Spears has any talent? They just do! It was a completely irrational feeling, but that's the thing about irrational things - they don't conform to anything. It only lasted a day anyway. On the 1st February, I was raring to go again.

People do tend to feel old at 21 more in the UK than the US. At 21, you can drink. That's the final law to be broken. there is no nothing that you are "too young" to do. Well, except maybe some daft old law like going to the shops in your PJ's, I dunno.
In the UK, you can do pretty much everything at 18. that's the age everyone looks towards as a sign of being an adult, of being free. You turn 18, you leave school. you either then get a job, and have money for the first time in your life, or you go to uni, and spend 3 years doing bugger all. And getting a loan for doing bugger all too.
'Bout the only thing a 21 year-old can do that an 18 year-old can't is give driving lessons. Woop-bloody-pee.
Still, I don't turn 21 for another half a year! Woo!
Still, I've got some pictures of OS and Monty when they were still in their prime (that's 20 and 21 in case your not keeping up). Oh, and one of Frank. Now all I need to do is get them developed. Gnash.
