21 innit!

Hello you

Ahh yes, it had to happen sometime, and now it has come. I, my friends have reached that permanant age. From now one, whenever you ask me my age I shall snigger and say (for the moment truthfully) "I'm 21".

So let's get the cliches out of the way - no, I don't feel older, more responsible or particularly compelled to enter the dodgy London nightclubs my age permits me to. Yes, looking back I have had a good life with few regrets and all the rest of it and i probably wouldn't change anything. an finally yes, I do still plan on acting like a child for many years to come!!

The festivities were threepart, firstly the youth group which I'm gradually becoming a leader of held an end of term/birthday celebration with games, pizza and an awesome toffe fudge cake. We had a great time, though most of it was spend trying to hook up a PS2 to a digital projector!

Saturday was an indulgance in nerdiness as we went to a Star Wars weekend at a science museum near Liverpool. I briefly met the guy who played Darth Vader, as well as Boba Fett and the legend that is Warwick Davis (star of Willow and numerous other films and also played an Ewok in Episode 6) there was a previously unseen "behind the scenes" documentary/spoof as well as props from the set and loads of guys in costume. I also met Karen Traviss and got her to sign her latest book and chated to her about her work and the Legacy of the Force series as a whole. Then we got back just in time to catch the new Doctor Who series!!

Sunday was a day with the family as cousins from far and wide came over for the afternoon which we enjoyed, chatting away and eating a buffet that included the most delicious cake that I have ever eaten - it was at least 50% icing!!!

So yeah, I'm a grownup - sort of and I had a good birthday, catch ya later sista!
