I'm an adult now.

As I've pointed out in the title, I'm now an adult. One would wonder who let me get such a title. I suppose God did. Well, I'm 18 now and I'm all growed up, so I am. (I'm aware I put "growed" in the last sentence, I did it on purpose. Just in case you didn't get that already. I'm trying to be funny.) Speaking of that, I'm of the belief that as one gets older, one's sense of humour simply disappears. I'm not saying that I'm not funny anymore. Then again, I'm not saying that I'm funny now either. But, as a person goes through the stages of life, the ability to be funny, or to think of a funny comment on the spot dimishes, and one relies on stupid, un-funny puns more and more. But that has nothing to with the original intent of this post. I'm losing my focus and going off the point on a nice tangent. What's the perpendicular distance formula again? Sorry, that's another tangent. Gotta stop having tangents. Chords are ok, but not tangents...

Anyway, they've made me an adult. But they also made Bono a Knight, so I wouldn't trust them. I'm not trying to imply that the Brits are the ones responsible for making me an adult. But, it happened anyway. So now, according to law, I've fallen into some responsibilities and privileges. I'm allowed to vote and drink, legally. Which is wonderful, isn't it? Well, if I'm on the bleedin' register. As for the gargle, this Leaving Cert is still to do done. Maybe it's not wise just yet. Yes, I'm very boring, but that's me I suppose. Sure we'll see how it goes.

Another handy thing I can do now is get a nice 10-year passport for all the travelling and gargling needs. I had a temporary one. I think it's out of date at this stage. It's deadly because it's green. Only thing is that it gets dodgey looks from passport control officers abroad. It's Dermot Ahern's fault, it's not mine! It's also his property apparently. He's not getting it back the prick. Who does he think he is? Knob. Anyway, I'll get a purple one even though it's a crapper colour. Sure I suppose it doesn't really matter what bleedin' colour it is, once it does its job.

Well, I'm pretty much finished now. The world surely hasn't benefited from my turn of age. But at least it's no worse either. Phew. It seems that I'll make a career for myself in politics according ot my classmates. So, I've lots to look forward to. I think I'll go and throw myself in the canal and save myself the bother. Nah, not my style. So, in conclusion...I don't have one. Bye.

That's lovely, Gráinne!

You can get a green passport cover in Eason's like mine to cover up the shite purple one. Though new passports now are shite, because they're all black and white and quare.

And I notice you've taken EOB's advice not to drink the "skull and crossbones" stuff until après le Leaving Cert.
