    I had a party at my parent's house with family and friends. It was a themed party, so I had a Hawaiian party so that I could wear my cute strapless hawaiian dress. Sob, I was a good 20kg less back then. I had a karaoke machine and we had a ball. I drank Riccadonna out of my 21st cup (and got completely sloshed). I was up until 4am til I crashed. Surprisingly, no hangover the next day.

    Don't really remember, but it doesn't matter as I am from Canada and 19 is the age to get into clubs.

    Happy birthday and have fun, be safe.
  • I was living in Georgia, didn't have friends other than work friends and I lived with my parents who are highly religious. My manager offered to take me out and get me a lap dance but my parents made me go to church :devil:

    The whole time I was there, I was thinking "I could have been getting a lap dance RIGHT NOW".

    :grumble: not that I'm still bitter after 11 years :grumble:

    I was a junior in college and I think it was close to spring break week. I had my wisdom teeth removed to get set up for braces.

    Ahhh that was 25 years ago today. I was taking summer classes at night and had a test in business law that I couldn't miss. So I went to school like a good little girl.

    I went to Disneyland!!

    My daughter's birthday is 4 days after mine, and was turning 2, so I basically used her as an excuse to go. Haha. I've done plenty of drinking since then, and don't regret not doing anything crazy for my 21st. :]

    I found out that I was pregnant with my oldest son 11 days before I turned 21.... so a whole lot of not drinking for me. :)

    Got drunk. Very very drunk. Then went to the pool, but passed out in a chair before I got in the water.

    Had a friend who owned a night club in Liverpool (uk) so took this over and drank a lot. Woke up in the toilets after an hour(they were clean - fell asleep under the sinks!), drank some water and partied some more. not giving anymore details on here!!!:wink::wink: :wink:
  • I stayed home, and read a book. I think that my ex brought me cake, maybe.

    This was only a few months ago but I went to dinner with my family and then later my boyfriend and myself bought a bottle of absinthe, drank a whole bottle of that together and then we went with some friends to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie at midnight.

    I can't remember what the movie was about at all.

    Ha ha! I am struggling to remember here, it was....um.......a few years ago. :wink:

    I'm sure you'll find something great to do, though! Have a great Birthday when it comes around.

    Well, my birthday is on Christmas day, so my actual 21st was v. tame. But when I went back to uni I had a post-21st party. I honestly don't remember most of it. I know it involved a house party, a pub crawl, a truly disgusting underground club, and downing an entirely juicy lucy cocktail in under a minute.

    Good times ... :)

    I sat at home alone with a bottle of wine I purchased reading a book and taking a bubble bath.

    I know it sounds lame, but it was what I wanted. Just after I turned 18 my older sister gave me her old ID. She turned 21 the month after I turned 18. So since i was 18 I had been living the life of a 21 year old and once my 21st birthday rolled around I was all partied out so I wanted to stay home.

    But if I were you, I would go to the store and buy a couple bottles of wine or a case of beer or even some liquor if that's what you prefer, have a couple of friends over and just hang out.

    I stayed at home. Nobody has ever cared enough for me to give me an actual birthday party. No one. Ever.

    Celebrating turning 40 has a better story. It's amazing how life changes. Both entailed drinking heavily.

    Worked for 8 hours, came home played with baby, opened presents and got an early night to prepare for work the next day. Maybe next year hey?

    I kind of had a week long celebration so I could celebrate with all my friends.
    The night of my 21st, I went out to a grill and bar with some friends and god drinks, food etc. Then I drove up to the city I went to college in (since I was home for summer). The first night I went to a drag bar with some friends, the next night I went out for dinner at an Irish pub with some other friends, and the last night my boyfriend and I went to a Ren Faire, where they were having a special celiedh that was 21+ to get in. It was super fun!I enjoyed being able to legally drink, but I never got wasted and of the nights either.

    Now, that sounds like some of the nights I have had out in Liverpool! Many moons ago, I hasten to add!

    Mine was pretty quiet. Just had a drink with a friend and hung out. I am sure I had a family "party" too but nothing wild and crazy :)
