the last 1/2 hour

is finally here. i am officially almost done with my teen years. not sure whether i should be happy or sad... i feel like i'm getting old. yet, i'm also excited that i am one step closer to a life of my own. (god knows i want to get out of this hell hole of a house). as i hit the big 20, i'm starting to feel as though it's not that great of a number after all.

日本でいう成人。こっちでいうと?あんまりない。日本だとタバコ・お酒・選挙参加権利が得られる。here, you get nothing. course, you do get to smoke and vote at 18 so that doesn't count. plus, i don't smoke. but i still can't gamble or drink. what fun is that?? i don't understand how this country can deem you responsible enough to vote for your president at age 18 but not responsible enough to gamble or drink. ま、ほとんどの人はもうお構いなしに飲んでるだろうけど...

anyways, i am getting old. it may sound a bit odd. haha. but still, being out of your teen years is not all that great. you don't get the luxury of 1 being the initial number for your age and that can be pretty big. but i'm also happy to finally be starting my 20s. (there we go with the 矛盾 again...) i hope it's a good one.

today, we had a bbq with all my family members. it was fun! :) and the food was goooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddd. (笑) i haven't had a bbq at the house in forever so it was awesome. thanks dad! he did all the cooking. lol. and a shout out to the bf, who was kind enough to take me shopping for everything in the a.m. but couldn't eat because of work. 皆さんに感謝ですね。でも、本当に楽しかった~:)

currently listening to: salamander - ellegarden
