The 18th Birthday

So when you turn eighteen in Britain, you're then allowed to legally drink. My birthday wasn't really like that at all.
First off, i had to go to school like any other normal day (boo, hiss) but then i got to come home to one of the best parts of birthdays. The presents. That does make me sound slightly selfish but i swear im more of a giver than receiver. But i can't exactly go about giving gifts on my birthday (people would think i'm weird).
My mum got me a new digital camera because my old one is a bit slow and glitchy, with a burnt lense... heh heh. Also with the digital camera i got prescription sunglasses which are a necessity and three different journals which i love because they're all unique and amazing.

All the journals in size order

I got other awesome presents including a lovely back from my sister and lots of moneys from my dad because i hadn't really asked him for anything and he didn't want to risk it.

The pretty bag! Along with other girfts

There was no way i was going to have any type of house party whatsoever. People getting drunk and being annoying and spilling things and vomiting and generally being careless around a clean house that i have to clean up afterwards when it gets filthy, isn't my idea of fun. So i just had a few friends for pizza and chat. Which went rather well i thought, and even had some cute decorations!

Party Poppers & balloons

All the sweets! mmmm

Savoury as well as sweet

 Despite ordering pizza we did all eat a fair amount of the sweets (nobody can just eat one pringle can they) and as the bowls disappeared and our pizza came, we realised we may have bitten off more than we could chew. Better that than some sickly drunks i think anyway!

they light up!!!

Not the best light to see their wonderful glow

 The light up balloons were definitely a highlight. After pizza i turned out all the lights so everyone could see them glowing. The blue and green balloons worked best. Maybe the yellow was a little disappointing.

Bang!

Pop!

 We were meant to use the party poppers during the moment of cake since there weren't many of us. But of course you put them round a table and boys just seem to radiate to them. I did pop one myself but they pretty much used them all while we were eating the pizza.

More hidden party poppers

 I thought it was a good birthday. Who says you need a system full of alcohol to have fun? We did have mini-cocktails (i didn't even like mine) but i'm not such a fan of alcohol. Think it tastes weird. Oh well. Think the weirdest thing is that i'm now classified as an adult haha who thought that one up?
