i don't, wanna party party

I don't really give that much of a shit about turning the big one-eight. It might be because I'm too immature or ignorant to realise what it really means, but it seems like the hype about turning eighteen is

1. WZTD.
This doesn't really apply to me coz I don't drink and I don't really plan to either. I'd get why everyone else would be sweating it over being able to legally, but yeah.

2. Cigaret cetera
This one doesn't apply to me either, although I spose I could get wicked street cred with the kids at the skeet park by buying for them. I could take it up just to look really cool and arty, but on the other hand, I could just get back into rolling up 5-Tempest gum wrappers into cigarette shapes and inhaling their fruity sweetness.

3. Independence / 'Coming of age' / more rites of passage type stuff
Not really feeling this one either. Maybe I'll be saying different when it actually rolls around, but I doubt that I'm gonna wake up on the nineteenth and feel too different, besides that I'll feel like I've got a lot more responsibility to do lots of shit that I'm not really keen for.

4. GIGS AND TONIC.
I don't know if this is actually something people avidly look forward to, but for me, it's the only thing that I'm really keen about - there have been so many shows this year that I wouldn't have minded being a part of, but wasn't because they were 18+. This will be compounded by the fact that when I do turn eighteen, the HSC will be up and I won't have to be worried about gearing all my spare time towards getting work done.

5. Marriage
I had to actually Google the benefits of turning eighteen; all I could think of when I started this post was drinking and gigs.

6. Enter contracts / Own property
I don't know what entering a contract even entails, and I thought it sounded similar to owning property, so I thought I'd lump them together. Again, this doesn't quite apply to me, since I'm probs gonna be Hinchinbrook reppin' for a while yet. Alternatively, Hurlstone Towers. Alternatively, I could move out, and live the life in a wicked terraced house in the hip regions of Sydney and spend my days lounging around on the sofa on my metre-long front yard, drinking tea and talking shit and getting hit and writing hardcore-garage punk songs. OI!

7. Voting
This one's also something I'm pretty keen for, I'm probably the most political person out of all my friends - ask any of them. That's a joke. I don't really care much, at all.

8. Serve in the military
I'd probably be the world's shittiest chickenshit soldier ever.

9. Drive automobiles
I'm still Christmas Club reppin', and so unless I get that sorted out soon, you probably won't be seeing me blazing down streets pumping choons anytime in the near future. I don't even know if there are rules stating that you can't get a full license til you're eighteen. I know things about the world in general.

10. Getting products of roots
I'm not even joking when I say that in the rough hour I've spent writing this post up, getting sum of roots didn't cross my mind once, but yeah. It ain't called Kelibacy Krew for nothin'.

11. Clubbing
I didn't think of this one til just then either, because that's how little it applies to me. I can't see myself hitting up clubs of any sort, not even really mad indie clubs, firstly because I don't really know how to dance, and secondly because it's actually just not my scene at all. Same goes for bars and that type of place. I'm under the assumption that bars and clubs and etc are all more or less the exact same things. I'm probably (almost certainly) wrong. If any, I'd probably be spending my Friday and Saturday nights checking out mad hipster bands around Sydney, if not playing my own gigs and spreading the MRfKR magic, but this kinda also starts to tie in with Point 4. We're working on it, just wait.

... The end.
