How did you celebrate your 18th?

brummytom

Wonderful contributors of AH, well... the question's in the title really.

It's my 18th in 9 months - aaaaaages away; but already I've had a good few people ask what I'm doing for it. Given that I don't normally plan things more than 5 minutes before I do them (at the most), it's not something I've thought about at all. Also, I'm the oldest in my year at school, which means all of my schoolfriends will still be 17; but most of the people I know from outside school will be 18


So I'm asking a question on what to do for my 18th, but pretending to care what you did. And Mickey, please don't move this to that 'events' forum will you? I want a normal people answer, not a 'professional' one.



So... anyone?

House party, dropping idle hints to your best mate about how funny it would be if he collected money and got a stripper for it for weeks beforehand.

Don't go to a club/pub as some of your mates are probably underage and won't get in/served.

Just went on a bender - If i was 18 again I'd do something different like play scrabble with the mother!

At home, on my own, with the little queen cake I made. I managed to find a small candle too, yay for me!

About 2 drinks.

You should just organise a night out that starts in your local pub and ends in your nearest night club. Then back to yours for more drink.

Also, there's the option of going away somewhere in Europe but you'll have less less of a crowd if you do it like that.

Actually I don't really remember. I think I had a small party with a bunch of mates, went to TGI Fridays and stuff. Pretty much the last time I had a proper B'day party. Don't really care about birthday anymore.

I voted for "Other," because my nan wasn't there.

It came to me! I was really really sick or something, and I had said I didn't want to do anything. But my Mam had already invited people to the pub, without asking me. So I sat there with a miserable face while everyone stared at me waiting for entertainment and kept asking "How does it feel to be drinking legally?" It was horrible, I blocked the memory!

5 years ago this week Soooo old.

I didn't think I was THAT old, but in my day it was your 21st that was the milestone birthday.

So my 18th passed without much furore at all!

I went to the pub with some friends. When the barman asked us what we were celebrating he wasn't impressed as I'd been a regular there for the past 6 months

AnneElizabeth

Mine's a couple of days before St. Patrick's Day so will probably just go out on that night, parade first though! Can't wait, I've missed so many nights out this year already. 17 is the most annoying age!

Had a pint or two at the local with a few of my mates, it was grand. Don't particularly like birthdays so didn't bother doing anything especially interesting, don't really understand why some people make a fuss.

The night of my 18th... Ahhhh. I went out for a meal with my boyfriend at the time, insisted on driving, even though I wasn't very confident. Turning into his driveway upon return, I sort of embedded one of his gates in the back door of my car. Cried. A lot. He watched some match... Liverpool or something, I dunno and I had a few Bacardi Breezers with his mam.

She was quite fond of a good ole drink, so it wasn't long 'til she had me knocking back the vodka. Later that night, I puked in his back garden, his dog ate my vomit and I passed out on the couch and would not (could not) move to go to bed.

I had a chemistry lab in college the night of my 18th. They rescheduled it so we wouldn't have to do it the last Friday of term before Christmas and made us do it a few nights earlier instead. By the time I was finished, I was too tired to bother going out.

Went for a meal with my family a few nights later.

Sounds like a hell of a party.

I...don't know. Actually I don't think I did anything. I never really do anything for my birthday. Probably went for a meal or something with my family. You'd think I'd remember seeing as it was only 3 years ago!

starbelgrade

I was fairly broke ass at the time, but also reasonably inventive, so I blagged a night of freebies...

It started with the Carlton Cinema in Dublin... they were showing a Reservoir Dogs retrospective, so I rang the manager & told him that as the editor of the new college magazine, I would like to give away 10 free tickets to coincide with an interview I was doing with Steve Buschemi, which would also promote his cinema.

He agreed & sent me 10 tickets. So myself & 9 friends went to see the film armed with naggins of spirits to add to the cokes.

Of course, I was never an editor of a student magazine & never interviewed Steve Buschemi. As far as I remember, the college didn't even have a magazine.

After that we headed to Club USI - the student bar & got a load of free booze & a birthday cake courtesy of the fact that I had told them that I - as the Entertainments Officer for my college - was running a birthday competiton for 10 students for a freebie birthday bash for the student with the most nominations for the month.

They never checked to see if it was true or even if I was involved with the students union, which of course, I wasn't.

Well, I kinda was at one time, but only for a brief spell when I ordered an extra 200 tickets for the Freshers Ball from the printers, hawked them around the college at half price & pocketed the cash.

Ah, to be 18 again... such a youthful, bright eyed & naive time.

entropi

I just ended up hanging around the local area with my mates, acting the bollix as usual...nothing special

I think I wrote three english essays with my stereo up to the last, to try and ignore the world and its existence (and the leaving cert).
