Trey: thanks for the pedantic period that I forgot about. @kanna-chii: don't worry, I'm still alive! I was hiding in Aberdeenshire. By the way, Aberdeen isn't actually in Aberdeenshire, which I find strange. I think it has something to do with the counties morphing into regions of the seventies-ish, but I don't understand what happened well enough to explain it.

And what I meant was in the seventies, they got rid of the former counties, some of which had existed with the same boundaries for centuries, and created regions in the similar areas. Ergo, Aberdeen is in the region Aberdeen City, and the surrounding towns are in Aberdeenshire. I really didn't make sense at all xD

Nope. that was 7:11 in the evening ... on Sunday. So I wasn't drunk. But yes, i have been drunk a fair bit lately, which is not good. I will endeavour to stay sober tomorrow night. And every night until Friday night! To be fair Thursday was my friend's 18th birthday (which is the legal drinking age in britain) so we celebrated even though she went to bed early. And then yesterday my friend's friend who likes to get me drunk came down to visit. And i have no excuse for tonight, except we decided to watch hot fuzz and drink whenever anyone swears. By the end this had grown to encompass any innuendo or major violence.
I should really stop going online when i've been drinking. twould be a very sensible idea.

you haven't? I saw it in theaters even though it is technically illegal. I'm only 17. have to be 18.
Will some one explain the ice cream cones? My sister and I have a joke about Klondike bars being poison (we got them out of the wrong freezer apparently and ended up with food poisoning. I remember they tasted great going down though, not so much in reverse)

That sucks. Most of our pubs don't care about ID, but now that I'm 18 I can get into the ones that do, so have now finally seen the inside of the infamous Vic (The Victoria Cafe, where they have Boozeday Tuesday where drinks are all a pound twenty-five, so it's a bit famous just for that).
It was funny last night, though, because there was a bouncer standing at the top of the steps down towards the patio (why is there a patio in Scotland? It's cold, wet and windy!) in front of the door of the pub and he didn't ID me but ID'ed my 20-year-old friend because she looks younger than me.

you must look older. And actually I didn't realize they were checking for ID until the girl in front of me was asked. They must have figured I was in college, because they didn't check for ID. but it was just a movie! Not like they were selling cigarettes in the theater. I thought it was a little heavy on the security.

Nah, she just looks really young, I think.

because she looks younger than me. I think yeah, that was the point Kanna. She kind of already said that her friend looked younger than her, don't you think that means she looks older?

Troo fact: at nineteen the wench at the local theatre wouldn't let me buy a ticket, cause I'm a tard and left my id at my house. So I had the guy behind me buy me a ticket. She was less than pleased. I later worked at the same theatre with her. Turns out I was older and she really was just a bitch.

It is all really stupid, they think they are protecting young persons from violent movies with sexual scenes and gore when the kids can get real porn and violence off the internet. Let them subject themselves with fantastical movies than with the real hardcore shit.

I dunno. I think 16 is old enough to view that sort of thing. At 16, clearly, you are not of an adult mind-set - but it is soon in coming. I've never understood they way we approach the teen years. It's an ostrich with its head in the sand kind of deal. Everyone knows kids are having sex and smoking- but most places still teach abstinance over an actual sex-ed and you're allowed to carry tobacco at 16...but not purchase it.
