Turned 21 this past Friday, February 8th. Doesn’t feel too different from being 20. I guess the shock hasn’t kicked in yet.

What shock, you ask? You know, the whole “WOOO I’m 21!! YEAAAHHH!” shock. It’s prolly an alcohol related feeling, finally being able to purchase your own booze. It’s not like I’ve never tasted the stuff before (omg I’m a criminal), so I wasn’t too elated over the whole deal. “But you’re 21 now! It’s different,” says some of my friends. Meh, I guess. Am I opposed to drinking copious amounts of beer and liquor? No, not at all. It was just that the person I would have liked to get bubbly with was far away. I told everyone that I wanted lots and lots of sweet, deadly cake. “Eh, cake? But you’re 21!” was the general reaction. A birthday is a great time to get cake, no?

If you have a 7-Eleven nearby, you may want to stop by sometime today. For today is July 11th, 7-Eleven day!

All 7-Eleven’s will be giving away free 7.11 ounce Slurpees to each customer all day long, or until the cups run out. While I doubt they will each carry 711 of these 7.11 ounce cups, they should probably have a good number that they don’t run out, as long as you don’t go too late. At 7.11 ounces, it won’t seem like much at first, but will quickly become a force to be reckoned with as you undoubtedly visit your 5th, 6th, 7th and so on 7-Eleven stores.

Unfortunately, while I enjoy getting tasty brain freeze as anyone else, there are no 7-Elevens in the Champaign-Urbana area. So while I sulk, drink on my friends!
