I challenge you to get kicked out of 21 pubs on the night...
*hic*
LOL! There isn't that many where I live!

I don't know if this is big on all college campuses or just ours, but my friend turned 21 this week, and when girls turn 21 they wear giant signs around their necks, usually in the shape of a drink or heart or something, depending on your theme. On the sign is a list of 21 things you have to do before the night is up. The list we came up with included everything from:
Proposing to the bouncer
Introducing yourself to 5 strangers using 5 different Disney princess names
Finding 2 Mikes and a Steve to take a picture with...just random stuff like that.
There are also alcohol related things, like chugging a bear and taking a shot without using your hands.
Oh, we also had her tell the bartender who gave her her first drink that she loved him. Later, she had to go back to the same bartender and demand to know why he hadn't returned her calls.
Just fun stuff like that. Have fun!
LMAO! I never thought of that. I'll have enough trouble to conjure up on the night as the party tour does a few party games and as the birthday girl, will probably be forced into doing one. I have been on the tour before just to see what it was like before I decided that the party tour was right for the birthday party and the first game they do on the night is not as bad as the later ones, so will probably go with that one.

Sounds like a good plan, Violet!
What intrigued me about your question was that it took me some time to actually remember what I did that night...five years (what?) ago (I'm 23). I had a party with a bunch of close and not so close friends and invited all of them to come a couple of hours earlier that night to watch The Big Lebowski at my place. Of course, not too many people came for the movie but the actual party was really swell. My brother took care of the music that night (it was really crucial to me that the music would be (what I consider) fantastic and that folks wouldn't pop their favorite cds in the player every two minutes...) and my friends and myself (...and my mom!!) prepared some delicious food. There was plenty of alcohol,... people were happy, a few folks danced...it was all good.
In the end, though, when you're 18 or 21 ...there are still many hopefully rampant and crazy parties ahead... it's not like this one night will be the ultimate celebration of your life.
Sounds like your 18th was fun. I did have a small 18th with again some family and friends, we had dinner at a German restaurant and played some silly German games. It was great fun.
But yeah, coz my place isn't that big (and we're renting) it wasn't suitable to hold the whole party and decided going out was for the best. I just don't know enough people to pull off a function room party so went with the party tour, this way everyone gets what they want (the kind of music they like, venue they like and we get to go bowling at a bowling bar as well, which is fun). I got a pretty sweet deal with the tour and they've giving all the guests and myself extra freebies and discounts for clubs and local attractions and I get to have the costume party I've always wanted.
I don't really get to go to as many parties as I'd like but I have my fingers crossed that there will be more fun parties ahead (especially coz a few of my friends are turning 21 as well).
