Happy birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[bliumchik]

As of about half an hour ago, I am now eighteen years of age.

I am now officially an Adult.

Legal alcohol! The ability to join comms with an age limit (if only I can remember the name of that one I put aside last year...)! The right to confidentially stare with blanket puzzlement at a small square of paper with ticky-boxes on it which is theoretically responsible for the fate of our democracy!

No longer am I in the category of people LJ has to protect from pornography! No longer can I be accurately referred to as jailbait!

Now I can get into clubs, cheerfully waving my ID at bouncers. I can watch adult movies. I can purchase knives and cigarettes.

Oh, right, and then there's the completely and utterly theoretical sex. Woo.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have two major works, many practice essays and a nervous breakdown to finish up. I'll celebrate my new legal status at a later, less stressful date.

Ah, I see, so it's just sleeping with teachers that's in question. :P

See, the federal law is what confused me - the first bit says "under sixteen" and second bit says "over eighteen" so for the past two years I've been in a sort of semantic vacuum.
