I wish that I had a different way to blog- I always have ideas and stuff I want to talk about..but actually sitting down at the computer and blogging in this house is an absolute nightmare. My entire house shares a computer-my computer. I did have it in my room, but the “family” one broke and I was nice enough to bring it downstairs so everyone has a computer to use. Worst. Mistake. Ever. My mom is on it from the time she wakes up until she goes to pick my brother up from school, and he is on it from the time he comes home until 11-12 o’clock at night. God forbid I come down here and ask to get on my own computer. Which is why most of the time I try to use my phone. I get eyes rolled at me, and have even been yelled at…because there’s no reason I should want to use my computer I paid for with my hard earned money, after months and months of saving..right? Even if I wanted to bring it upstairs again, they stopped paying for wireless so the computer has to be where it’s at to get internet access. Convenient..and also another reason I need out of this house. Things on the job hunt front haven’t been much better.. I’ve gotten two callbacks, but both were only for phone interviews before they sent my application off to the actual people I applied with. So, we’ll see.. I have fingers and toes crossed that something pulls through for me. I’m desperate..

ANYWAYS! I have been 21 for a week and a day…and it is nauseating. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this moment for yeeears, and I don’t want to see alcohol again for at least a good month. My actual birthday was Sunday (the 8th), and since the liquor stores are closed on Sundays, I figured I wouldn’t be getting too crazy…and I’m not going to go to a bar on a Sunday with all the drunks. So, I settled on dinner with my close girlfriends at my favorite restaurant-Chili’s. I did go to Toot’s (awesome restaurant…fried pickles, amazingness..look it up) with my sister earlier in the day and had 2 drinks but nothing too fancy.

We went to Chili’s around 7:00 and it was me and 7 of my good girlfriends. I ordered my margaritas and was good to go. We got our food and it was just a chill nice time, eating and enjoying our drinks. Then…my best friend shows up after her shift at a restaurant nearby…and that’s when the trouble starts. She started ordering me shot after shot after shot of Tequila and then I did some random shots that I couldn’t even tell you what they were…but I drank them like a champ. After Chili’s happy hour was over at around 10, we did hit up a little dive that was down the street and I had a Long Island Iced Tea. I thought I was at that “good” drunk point. I felt drunk as fuck-but I was good.

After that they took me home because I was complaining I was getting tired- I go home and I’m still fine…I sit on my porch and smoke a cigarette, then I go inside to put on pajamas and lay down in my bed. This is where it got bad- I think once I finally laid down my body realized how drunk it was..and I just started spinning. I was up until 8AM puking my brains out. Great 21st birthday! Here’s a few pictures:

And the best ever…super drunk ass face:

I’ve gone out pretty much every night this week for drinks one way or another. Whether it’s a dinner, actually going to a bar, or my sister had a party on Saturday…I’ve gotten wasted each and every time. My best friend made sure I got to do it all- buy my first bottle, rack up my first $100.00 bar tab, and get free drinks from cute boys (who were not cute…ick). Oh! I sang drunken karaoke too, but I’ve done that before. I hardly have any pictures because let’s face it- I was too trashed to remember to take them. Whatever! Here’s one-

I do need to add one thing- Saturday after my sister’s party.. my friend and I went to a couple bars..local, country types. The bathroom at one of these places…oh my god. There were no doors! The doors were shower curtains! I wanted to shoot myself because when I drink, I pee like crazy. I made her go with me every single time and stand in front of the curtain. It was ridiculous. Haha. They weren’t even colored ones, they were CLEAR ASS SHOWER CURTAINS. Uggh.. Haha.

All in all it’s been an amazing drunken week!! I’ve had a lot of fun and I’m so thankful to all my friends who sponsored this birthday week for my broke ass. It’s been such a blast. Give me about a week, and I’ll be a drunken mess again. I have yet to be 21 in downtown Nashville…that’s definitely happening soon!
