woooooo! Happy 21st!  I didn't get any for my birthday either =( I'm running out of pieces I need! I guess that's a good thing for my wallet. haha Have a great 21st! Go try to get carded somewhere, haha. After I turned 21, I ordered drinks with all my dinners and went to clubs and no one carded me. Weird. At least I can get rid of the stupid vertical "under 21" driver's license and the bright red "under 21" motorcycle license plate now. heh. |

oh i still get carded when i buy cigarettes for people! runs in my family-- my mom got carded once when she was 40! (ha!)... but--- i look like i'm about 16... and dress like i'm about 5 (i've made or modeled most of my wardrobe from the floofy dresses my mother used to make me) so--- even buying 1 drink at 1 restaurant, i've already been carded.
oh well-- at least the new I.D. comes in handy ... ehhh...

^ well, i seem to have the old frump-frump GRANNY look down pretty well, so if you need any ideas on how to look older just let me know!  at about 17 i started drinking socially and was done with it in about a year after realizing i was a featherweight. i just turned 21 too last january but really don't order drinks much. i used to live downtown so i could drink "financial light" at home and go out to the bar/venue later.  dude, about the toy collecting... i just called my friend in his 30's and told him i'd found my BARBIES...LOL. he was actually happy for me, and was like "those things is worth $$! get rid of those bad boys!!" i have a couple listed on amazon but i think about those barbies totally different than i do the LPS stuff. the barbies were so off-limits and some i never even took out of the box. LPS is the right size, it's colorful, simple enough, everything has a "place." it's a really good line of toys. the new one is, too. happy bday, everyone! it's so cool that we're all the same age. i guess it figures!! |

haha actually I think we are the youngest people in the g1 section. I'm not big on drinking, I metabolize alcohol reaaaallly slowly so I always go over my threshold (I have free bartab everywhere) and end up really, really sick. My boyfriend dj's at the clubs, and he will be like, "do you want to go out tonight, or paint your littlest pet shops?" And I'll be like, "actually... I kinda wanna work on my customs" XD hahaha. I'm a weirdo I never collected barbies... I think I had like one doll ever, a Breyer or Grand Champion rider, and pretty much her only purpose in life was to be a customer to my littlest pet shop, lol. I don't really like the new line of lps. I can't get into it. No "mommy and babies," and the stuff is too cutesy and girlish and has nothing to do with a pet shop. the pet shop aspect was most of the appeal to me, I wanted to open one my whole life because of the toys And I'm finally getting to open a 5,000 square foot pet store of super awesomeness in South Florida next year, after I finish my animal biology/business administration degree. I'm so excited. It's really funny how much influence these toys had on my life. At least, that's my rationalization for spending $1,000+ I don't have on toys. hahaha. |

i, as well, don't drink too much/too often. i think i metabolize alcohol slowly, as well as being a super-duper lightweight... so i'll find that i'll be halfway through a second glass of wine before i feel the effects of the first one... but then i finish the second one... but then the effects begin to multiply... & before i know it.... i'm drunk on two glasses of wine! (luckily, i've learned i only need 1 glass... i used to drink a bottle before it'd start to effect me... and then i was usually 'too drunk to remember' or puking rather violently but not feeling it... hahaha)
i really hate the new lps... i have 2 sets. i use them as substitute mothers/fathers for some of other sets because i don't have the right matching parents... hahaha... oh god, i'm such a dork.
congrats on the petshop!! that sounds exciting!! i'd like to have a coffeeshop someday :/... guess petshops didn't really influence that, though! haha.... i'm sure i could come up with some reason for spending so much money on the collection of pets i always wanted... hmmm...

Happy Belated Digits! yeah, i used to drink a lot when i was 19. not going out to the 18 and over clubs or anything. but every weekend with friends at a house just playing cards or pool. i was a little bit out of control and pissed people off. i'd like to think that by the time i turned 21, i'd calmed my drinking down a lot. i pissed my friends off on my birthday because i didn't get loaded and they kept pressuring me. then one of them said i was the worst 21 year old ever. hahahaha. but they still love me. haha. ;]
Weaselmouse:> you might want to post a link in the sale section if you still have those barbie auctions up. i think some people on here like to collect barbies. =]
Mouse:> i don't know why, but for some reason i thought you were around my age or mid 20's. =]
and i have to admit, i do get embarassed that i collect littlest pet shop. in fact, the only people that really know about it are my youngest brother and my boyfriend. my sister inlaw [who is my age] and my bestfriend knew about it, but i don't think they know how much i am into it. and of course my boyfriend's daughter know about it and i find it hard to say "no" when she wants to play with my LPS. i just let her play with the ones from inventory. so yes, i do feel a little immature. i was so crazy about them when i was younger, never knew that i would still be so crazy about them now. maybe it's the fact that i wanted one every single time i saw a new one come out and didn't get the chance to do that... hmmm
Misty: congrats on the pet store! i used to want to be a vet or had dreamed of having a house where different pets would run freely in rooms in the house. or my backyard would be set up so that animals can live and run freely throughout the yard. sort of like a mini wildlife park. i dunno what happened. guess i grew out of it. =[ i guess as i grew up, i found out how messy some pets were, plus i hate dog and cat hairs and i'm allergic to their dander. i used to housekeep people who had pets and now i don't do it because of those reasons. i LOVE exotic pets though. i love frogs and other amphibians. haven't had those as pets for awhile, though. and other exotic pets, i don't have the money for, of course.
anyway, novel over. =]
