Well here we are then. 20. Two decades. Halfway to 40 and twice the age of a ten year old.
People always talk about how time flies but to be fair 20 years seems to have been bloody ages. Think of all the things Ive accomplished in my time. Actually dont, I'll look like such a loser.
Its about as much of an anti-climax as turning 19 was. Theres not really anything new you can do when you turn 19 or 20 that you cant do when you turned 18 and were already doing for years beforehand anyway; sex, parties, clubs, pubs, bars, drinking so much that you start seeing that Windows paperclip appear infront of you when you're in the toilets. "Hello, it looks like you're writing a letter.". Apparently car insurance is cheaper 20 years and over, which is nice. Or it would be if I actually had a car. I do have a driver's license, I just have nothing to drive.
Its made worse by people making a fuss of it as well and insisting on singing happy birthday. Less and less people do it as you get older but it makes it all the more annoying when someone suddenly bursts into it out of nowhere. Also you get shit in the way of presents, unless you consider tax forms and various confusing letters about how to apply to every university at the same time whilst simultaneously accidentally rejecting all the offers as well as mortgaging the house you dont own somehow as presents. Any money you get you put in the bank and then it mysteriously disappears too.
I did get one great one though; a friend sent me a painting that she did for me. A proper one on canvas. A very bold, black and white and sort of stencil-looking one of Tokyo train station. Not only that but she sent a shoelace necklace thing that she made with a marble-looking stone she found on the beach. Unfortunatly it doesnt have a fastening thing, so I'll have to get one attatched as I wont be able to tie it without doing it far to tight and strangling myself to death and inexplicably taking three other people with me.
Well, Im out of things to say.
