Update: Wordpress.com “Golden Ticket” invite

[...] The first age that completely sucks is 17. Your last year as a juvenile. You now get to wait a year to become 18, finally legal, meaning you can be tried as an adult for crimes. Not good. Get your illegal stuff out of the way now. Once you hit 18, you’re free to buy all the cigarettes and porn that you like. Nothing too major. Now, 19. 19 sucks a big one because I have gained ZERO new rights. Not only that, it is the last of the teen years. A full year of waiting to hit 20 so I can start feeling old. Once you’ve reached 20, you now have the privilege of waiting another year to turn 21, to finally earn the last of your rights. At 21, you then go nuts and get drunk legally. Fun. [...]
Not to spoil the fun, but turning 21 might not crack up to what you thought it would be. Maybe I was just burnt out on my 21. Enjoy the new Wordpress.com account!
You can find the original Wordpress.com contest thread here. Thanks to everyone else who participated. Check back as more invites are made available.
that’s how it is in the USA! We are more lucky here in good old Europe. In my opinion it’s also socially better to be able to do some things before. Doing it is everywhere possible, but in a legal way and therefore in a normal way not!
Hmm are you talking about alcohol?
haha 21 is equally as fun as being 18/19/20 was in my book… you just adjust your views a bit and getting shit faced and talking to that new girl isn’t as big of an accomplishment as it was 3 years prior ;)
Haha! Awesome! I sure am still interested!
Sent Carlos… :) Enjoy
