Mark Goes Down Under: I thought the day would never come. TWENTYONE

What can I say? I made it to the BIG 2-1 and survived to tell tales of the shenanigans.

For those of you who were a bit worried (I received several bday posts on facebook of "happy birthday! please don't die tonight), I came out of the 2 night celebration with only a few minors scrapes and bruises.

Favorite birthday messages include:

From Rose - based on me telling the worker at Hungry Jack's not to put tomato on my burger:

Me: I am allergic to tomatoes.

Rose: are you really?

Me: yes. I will die if I have a tomato.

Rose: so you can't have ketchup?

Me: no. but i can have mustard and mayo, so it's ok.

Let's just point out now that I am not allergic to tomatoes and how I apparently spent 5 minutes telling the worker he will kill me if he puts them on.

Another great post comes from my big bro in Trojan Knights, Drew:
"Well, at least now when you get fucked up, you won't be getting arrested because you're underage, you'll be getting arrested for being as fucked as as you get."
He is so right.

So what did I actually do for my bday? Thursday night we went to Toff/Cookie/Love Story - a club we visit quite frequently. On Friday, we had dinner at Taco Bill's (<3 margaritas) and then went to Eurotrash - a club I hadn't been to yet. I pretty much got really drunk and danced my ass off. The pictures are evidence (Thanks Mike for being in charge of my camera bc we all know I would break it or lose it)!

We also made a 21 bucket list for the night, which I failed at for the most part. Some of the things I did accomplish include:

play drinking games
take my pants off on the dancefloor
obtain cougar
spill drink
get mackers
harrass mackers employees (we went to 2 mackers and 1 hungry jacks - I yelled at them because none of them had soft serve and caused a huge scene when I started yelling how Amuurrica is better)

To summarize, I am SO SO SO happy that I no longer need to use a fake ID, rely on people of age to buy for me at their convenience, or participate in the illegal activity of underage drinking/fear of getting in trouble. While it doesn't really make a difference in Australia, it's going to be sick once I get back to the state!

Thanks to everyone who came out and my 21st awesome! Everyone in the states get ready because we are celebrating when I get back! WOOO VEGAS!
