My actual party is not until December, but still celebrated it with some style yesterday. I got spontaneously taken out to Fremantle to get drunk in the afternoon, before heading back to enjoy a nice big roast beef dinner with various friends. The rest of the night was spent out at a friend&#8217;s farm house in Serpentine before heading back home in the early hours of the morning. This is despite the fact that I had a morning class the day after, which was summarily skipped. Little Creatures Pale Ale rocks. Little Creatures Pale Ale on tap rocks even more.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">But yeah. It&#8217;s taken a while, but I&#8217;m finally 21. If I felt old before, I feel even older now. This is the time in one&#8217;s life where one have to carve one&#8217;s place in the world. I&#8217;m told it goes downhill from here.
