Gosh, a new year >_<;;

In a way, I'm so excited, but I honestly don't think I'm ready for this year... I'll be turning 18 in April and I honestly, honestly feel NO WHERE NEAR adulthood. In fact, I still have the mental age of a 12 year old... I don't know how I'm going to cope with becoming a legal adult and having responsibility and actually having to look after myself...

My best friend and I went to watch the fireworks in London yesterday at Waterloo bridge after meeting up with a couple of friends of ours (who I'd met for the first time in RL, we'd only chatted online before then haha XD <-- Ani knew them from school and she introduced us XD)...

So many people were there... We were right on the bridge, where we'd thought the view would be best, right opposite the London Eye, but most of the firework display was obscured by smoke and we were barely able to see most of it unfortunately >_<;;

However it was the best countdown I've ever had; the atmosphere was amazing... Started counting down at 20 seconds... by 1 my throat was hoarse and we COMPLETELY screamed our voices raw XD

Some parts were good, then other parts were so damn crap I wish it'd never happened. Haha... well... it was an... interesting experience; one I'd most likely never forget XD

Anyways hope everyone will have an amazing 2008!!! <333

L8r,

Don't worry -- you're not the only one who doesn't feel their age. Really, I believe it's the way you should be. Because I think to become a true adult, you have to lose a bit of your soul. Keep the kid inside you!

'Sides, all being 18 means is you can now vote, buy porno and smoke legally (at least in the US, anyway... I'm not sure how they do it in the UK).

My sister was in London over the holidays. I wonder if she got the chance to see the countdown as well... I'll have to ask her when she gets back.

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm older than you, but your mental age is older than mine. Is that normal?

sounds awesome!
So you've got an April birthday, too? That's cool. I was born April 2 (I turned 18 last year, so I'm a year older than you).

18 is just the beginning. It's not so bad if you're still living with your parents or something, or go off to school. There's lots of people that are ready and willing to help you out with the first years of your "grown-up" life. At first you don't feel much older, but as the year progresses, it settles with you better. It's nice. =)

I left home 4 months after I turned 18. It was the scariest and most fun time of my life. I'm back with my mom, which is good financially, but I terribly miss being on my own.

happy new year!!!

I'm going on 19 and I still don't think that I'm ready to be an adult yet. I guess it'll come with time and experience. Don't worry about it, just have loads of fun while you're at it.

Happy New Year to you too and may your year be a better one than the previous year.
