Here we go....

Ok, so first off, tomorrow is my birthday, the big 21. As of now, nothing feels different, but I think that will change when I buy my first drink, and well, if it doesn't change then, I know it will change when I drink my first drink. I feel really great about myself in that I have never had a drink. Not only did I make it through high school having a great time without alcohol, but I have made it through nearly the first 2 years of college without having a single sip. Now, to my family this would probably not seem like a strange thing as no one in my family really drinks, but in this whole college arena, I seem to stand out pretty well. My close friends don't really drink, some might drink a little, but never around me. I think it is cool that my friends respect my request to keep the alcohol out of my apartment and away from me. I know that tomorrow I will be able to purchase alcohol and drink at any point, but I really don't see myself drinking much. Alli has already said she wanted to get me drunk as it is a right of passage for the big 21 but I told her I didn't think that would happen. I really don't think I will mind sipping on something but as for taking shots, or drinking anything that is intended to get me drunk, that won't happen. I will be looking for something that tastes good, not looking for that buzz or light-headed feeling. I think my choice beverage will still be Dr. Pepper or Mt. Dew. Alcohol will always take a back seat. Well, I will keep you updated on all the wonderful birthday stuff! Aaron

I think it's totally cool that you have friends who restpect you and don't drink around you because they know that it makes you uncomfortable. And no, you don't have to go get drunk when you turn 21...most people have been doing it since long before then, so I don't see what the big deal is...if you are a drinker, you are and if you're not, you're not. Happy Birthday! How are things going with you and Tracy? talk to you later
