And yes, that really was what one of the girls decided to nickname me back in our very first semester. Why? Because I was still 17 and had to get parental permission to be initiated into the sorority. So one of the girls in our pledge class decided that Barely Legal should be my nickname since I was the youngest. And ha! It doesn't work anymore!
Anyway, last night was fun. I got the phone calls from the family (and I got to talk to my brother over the phone for the first time since summer so yay!) and friends. *waves at Heidi* Kristina and Jenn took me out to Chili's, where Kristina and I had a drink and the waitress was nice enough not to do tell the other people it was my birthday. And since she didn't force me to sit through people singing some random version of "Happy Birthday" while they smiled like clowns and clapped, I now declare her the best waitress ever. (And mmmmm at the Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie! I love that thing.)
After that, I may have earned myself the title of "Nerdiest/Dorkiest 21 Year Old Ever" because that's when I came home and started to do research for a fic. *nods* You totally read that right. LOL. But I couldn't help it! It's for a birthday fic and this particular birthday is in less than two weeks and I'm determined to be on time with this one, if at all possible. Added to that, I'm not a big drinker so going out and getting that first official drink was enough for me. ^_^
Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys! They made me smile.
So yes, all in all, I had a fun 21st. *g*
