I am now looked upon as a 'legal adult' and that is a great status to obtain. I have been 21 for a little over a week and you know, the opportunities are overwhelmingly phenomenal!
My birthday was good, the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, it was WARM! And to top it off, I didn't get to the point of praising the porcelain god, which I am thankful for. But I did keep a constant buzz. The first initiation into 21dum was to visit the beautiful liquor store, just to announce to the world, "Yes! This is Leiha, and yes! She is 21! She is officially legal to be in here!"
The liquor store.... I entered with excited eyes, to be stopped instantaneously by a cop. After looking at my ID, then at me, then at his watch. He gives me a grin, a "right on!" and hands back the ID. I smile, but it quickly fades with the image of a bajillion rows of wines. It was going to be physically impossible to find the precise bottle of wine I had in mind. Eventually I did, grabbed some coolers and out the door I went.
The Restaurant... Later Erin, a few friends of mine and I went out to a place called the Dancing Ganesha. Now word to the wise, do not randomly enter a restaurant on a Saturday night, make reservations :). But if you all know me, I don't think ahead like that hehe. So now this is where the night got a little annoying. I started out with a good 'ol sex on the beach made especially for me by a nice tattoo sleeved bartender! It was delicious! :), and then I go to get my second drink, but apparently 21 year old's cannot drink until the day after their bday, (says a different more annoying bartender). He double checks with his boss, and then comes back free shot in hand to apologize for his stupidity. I down the sex with an alligator, and bring my mango mojito back to the table. The mint definitely helped with the spicy Indian food.
The Anoka Excursion... The night ended out in Anoka, listening to Erin's friend's band, Sunrose play. As well as creating a wicked sweet drum circle. Including some bongos, cow bells, an empty wine bottle and what are usually annoying birthday party toys. We's got rhythm.. Well all of us but Tracy ;), but we love her anyways.
I had a great night, with great people.. :) <3 ya's...
