Birthdays
My most disappointing experience in life was proudly going into the newsagency on my 18th birthday (in my school uniform and everything) and asking for a one of those scratch lottery tickets. To my absolute dismay, I was not asked to show ID!
But turning 18 was great. Where I live, you can do everything when you turn 18, including buy alcohol, and even drink it!
I agree that 21 is really cool. I remember my 21st birthday party as being one of the happiest times of my life.
I remember 23 as being the first time in my life I actually wished I was younger. Up until then I had always wanted to be older.
I think the main reason most people get married is that after 21, you don't really have any more fun birthdays to look forward to, so you have to have a wedding to make up for it.
I'm not telling you how old I am (I'm old enough that it's rude to ask), but when you get to my age you just go 'Oh no, not another @*$^&#$% birthday!'
