Just get it over with

I'm getting old. My mother and boyfriend and teasing me relentlessly and I'd really like to get their birthday over and done with. I think this is a bigger deal for them then it is for me.

I guess in my mother's eyes I'm finally technically all grown up. I had to grow up pretty damn fast but I guess it's official now (or almost now). She says I'm always going to be her baby. I think this is going to be hard on her.

My boyfriend James is 28 so he's just happy I'm getting older and closer to his age. Its really crazy how well we actually get along. Reguardless of the age difference we have a very solid relationship. We're just comfortable around each other.

What's the big deal about turning 21? I don't smoke so turning 18 wasn't a big deal. I got to legally date older guys but that's about it. As for 21, drinking isn't a big deal I'm not a big fan of it most of the time. I'm not planning on going off to war or getting married any time soon so the whole turning a certain age is kind of ehh. People are always rushing to get to this birthday but I don't see the appeal. It's not like I'm going to have my first drink, I enjoy the occasional glass of wine or prosecco and have for a while now. I'd just like to turn 21 already and get it over with. Munchkins turning 7 and I'm excited. James is turning 29 in April and I'm excited for him.

I plan on staying 21 for at least 5 years anyway... then I'll turn 22.
