Birthday Woes

[Sark]

Hey everyone.
It's a week until my eighteenth birthday and I have no clue what to get/do/see/ect.
Any suggestions for a seemingly normal gamer guy?

As an alternative focus maybe discuss horrible presents or birthday experiences.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Go out with friends and get comepletely rat-arsed.

Or go out for a meal with friends or see a play / film or something fun like that.

Sleep in, that's my idea of a great day.

 

[coldwarkid]

For some reason, the first thing that pops into my head is that you should hang upside-down from a tree and drink some absinthe, but that would not be particularly sensible.

Also, the worst birthday present I ever got?

A Wii.

My parents bought me it as they thought it would cure my above average BMI.

 

[Dooly95]

I had bread to mark my 18th occasion.

Just bread.

And I think I got some socks.

I'm sure there's better things than that, but that gives you a starting point.-ish.

Go and get absolutely smashed off you're face (Cos yay you're finally legal). There is no other way to celebrate an 18th. Oh and make sure you find a girl to give you a birthday root

 

[Sark]

Unfortunatly, getting completely smashed or hitting the town is almost off the cards, as my birthday is on a sunday, and I am a student.
As for a birthday root, its probably not gunna happen. Ladies? XD

So go out on the Saturday instead! And spend your birthday in an alcohol induced coma >8D

 

[Cuniculus]

Do what I did for my 17th and 18th birthday... stay up all night before, and then sleep for 24 hours until your birthday is over. At least then you'll feel like you accomplished something.

Seriously though, buy a cake, invite some friends over and play Rock Band or something. Assuming you have good friends, they should take care of the presents and you shouldn't have to worry about it.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Go see a movie or something. Then go home and have lots of cake.

 

[Birras]

Hit someone in the kneecaps with a baseball bat and enjoy being tried as an adult!

Try this:

At midnight, when it is officially your b-day, go outside and look at the stars.

Meditate on your life thus far: your victories, your failures, your dreams.

Then rear back your head, and roar into the night air. Nothing need be verbalized, just a manly battle cry to let the world know that you are still alive and stronger than you've ever been!

............or you can just just hang out with friends, eat brownies, and enjoy your day.

He's turning 18 on Sunday though, so technically it wouldn't be legal....although, guy, you could go out at like late Saturday night, I'm sure the bouncers would give you some slack.

I'm a girl, but my 19th is in a few weeks and I am seriously considering this, just so I can tell people that that's what I did for my birthday, and sounds odd, but awesome.

Ok then: a WOMANLY battle cry! Throw in a few Xena screams for effect too.

 

[Mockingjay]

It's only a birthday, go get drunk with your mates.

 

[Rascarin]

I have no suggestions for you. I came here to comlain about my last birthday.

I spent it entirely on my own. Dad went away to work, and both my mum and sister decided that seeing friends was more important. I even baked my own cake. Sad, I know.

Oh right he's not English? Sorry I just assumed

 

[ElephantGuts]

Nothing. Atleast, if you don't want to.

I don't see why there's pressure to do something big for your 18th birthday. If anything, I would think it should mean you get to do whatever you want, including nothing.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

the one thing I don't want when I turn 21 is a pile of booze...
If I stay sober, it'd be easier to manipulate others.
