OMG.  I just got back from my 18th birthday celebration and it. was. awesome.  First, we mingled at the house for a couple hours, doing this and that (drinking beer XD) and eating dinner.  Then we went out to a gay bar.  I was groped by hott and not-so-hot chicks everywhere.  I danced so long I nearly passed out (and was subsequently forced to buy a bottle of water).  I talked to drunk gay dudes...  But lemme tell you...  It gets better.  After I started to get sleepy (due to having only like three hours sleep), we headed back to the house to pick up my sister's girlfriend's purse (she left it behind).  We loitered about a half hour before one of my sister's girlfriend's guy friends there urged us on and we went out to Denny's to eat.  There was this other table with a lot of people there.  They were being loud, rude, obnoxious...  They even threw food at us and harrassed us females!!!  I went to get the manager, and when I came back (having a weird premonition of oncoming trouble) two of the males with us had gotten up and were exchanging 'words' with a couple of the other guys (mostly drunk) from this table.  Well, a guy (my sister says it was prolly to get out of going back to Iraq...) threw a punch at one guy (The DD, ironically enough) from our table.  Our guy fought back.  Push came to shove (literally, heh) and the other guy got a big old gash above his eye, while our guy got a sore forehead (WTF!?  Were you trying to brain him, you moron?!) and sore knuckles.  Long story short, our guy kicked his ass.  XD  Of course, our guy's girlfriend raised a stink (irritating woman), but other than that (a free meal for our guy for the trouble and me for my birthday - yay!) things settled down.

It was so awesome.  XD
