Travails of turning eighteen too soon....

There comes a point in everyones life (well...except the Toilet Monster's...his is an extraordinary life and not to be confused with that of us worthless mortals...) when you realise that old man time hasnt been idle....while uve been happy in your water balloon fights and puddle-splashing-without-mom-knowing and putting farting bags under teachers chairs, he has been walkin on and on...and it seems he walks faster and faster every year. Soon he'll be competing in senior citizens' olympics.

Im finally going to hit the big bad eighteen...when u have the licence to do a lot of stuff uve been doing without perm anyway....shuts your conscience up a bit in any case! But its not all partying hard and driving past the annoying policeman with a self-satisfied smirk....its got its major downside too! You have to be legally responsible for your actions! You could go to jail!!!!!!

You have to finally face up to the fact that you have grown up....and you cant get away with catfights with your brother(isnt it time you acted more mature?), wandering around doing nothing(u have to look purposeful), tantrums in shops for stuff you really want (pple give you weird looks), walkin around with big blue balloons(damn....i love balloons), falling for huge stuffed pooh bears and insisting ure mother buy it for you so that the happy pooh family u have on top of ur cupboard will be complete (its a sad fact of life....pooh discriminates based on age), skipping around instead of walking(the whole act your age thing again)......it only gets worse. Until of course u get old enough to have kids (scary thought) and u can play all the silly games with them......there has to be an upside to havin kids!!!!

But that still doesnt change the fact that turning eighteen is a really scary thing to do....and though its still two months away...and im getting an ipod(finally) for my bday.....im actually more than a little anxious about the whole thing!
