2. Legally buy cigarettes 
3. Legally gamble  
4. Legally be concidered an adult 
5. Be tried as an adult in a court of law 
6. Buy/drink alcohol in Quebec 

7. vote!

Billy: Wow! I turned 18! I'm going to buy cigarettes and gamble in a shoddy Indian casino! 
Joey: Wow! I turned 21! I'm going to buy vodka and gamble in a real casino! 
Billy: ... damn country."

Bad example. Alright:

For my 18th birthday I celebrated by pouring Bailey's into my coffee, into my mouth, into my coffee, into my mouth...

Made my way down to the dock and spent probably about 3 ish hours just hanging out with my mom. I discovered a new passion for triangular rocks. I've always dreamt of acquiring an odd hobby, and voila! This was so serendipitous! As of now I have 8 perfect triangular rocks which I found in Clear Lake. I think it's Clear Lake, I always get confused because the other cottage I go to, on the Sproule side of things is on Lake Clear, or Clear Lake...

As a result of triangular rock hunting and skipping stones in the mid day sun (with no sunscreen) I am now bacon. My thighs, back, ears and a little bit of my face are quite crispy. Good for me! I afterwards suffered from some sun stroke and I think I am still recovering from that. 

My mom dropped me off at Food Haven (regular chinese in Lakefield, we're friends with the owners...) and met my dad and grandma in there. We had soup, mushroom fried rice and chicken balls (who knew they had balls?). Got home, received a message from Danielle, which made me laugh, and called her back. Talked to her, then called Erica to firm up plans for the weekend, then Aly for a half hour, called my mom and then called Aly back for another 45mins. Next year I want to have a big party, unlike...well I've never had a good party, so let's hope this one's good. Considering I will be legal and such. I also thought about next summer at the cottage and how fun that's going to be! Danielle (Walker) and I will both be 19...YEAH! You know what that means...

I was also fantasizing about having friends up such as me, my imaginary boyfriend (who will exist next summer), Aly and Mason and DW's boyfriend, who is also imaginary at the moment, but I will find her a suitable boy if need be. And Danielle and her boyfriend too. (yes, we will all have boyfriends next summer, it's written)

Got some gift cards, Chapters and Winners. Bought a Douglas Coupland novel today: Microserfs. Should be funny, he's a genius. I've read Jpod, which was SO funny. It caused ruckus in class because I started to laugh really hard about this one part with Ronald McDonald, some horny mothers and baseball bats...

Tomorrow I am going to Ottawa...must go and figure out the bussing shit. I get really apprehensive when traveling, especially alone. Yay, BC alone...plane ride...alone...
