Whoa...

In exactly one week, I am going to be 18. Wow. It kinda blows my mind, in a way. I'm going to be looking forward to it immensely, even though it really doesn't mean anything in terms of things I'm legally able to do now. All I get is legal "consent," smoking, the ability to drive at any hour of the night (which won't happen anyways with my parents), aaaaaaand tattoos and additional which I won't be able to get anyways. I can legally vote, but the next election isn't for some time. It doesn't really mean much, which kinda sucks, yet there's so so much attached to turning 18. Funny how that works.
