Well i turned 21 yesterday and while most people booze up and party all day when they turn 21 this basicly describes my birthday and couple of days leading up to it.

Saturday 28th February 2004
Morning
- Got up at about 10:20am
- Got out the bathroom and Dad had arrived (he lives 220 km's away) and he threw my developed photos (his friend does them) and two presents at me
- Family starts catching up with him (don't see much of each other)
Afternoon
- Had lunch i think :confused:
- Catcheded up more
- Checked out the skylinesdownunder.com forums for someone's phone number
Evening
- Opened both presents Dad got me (he insisted). Battery charger and an awesome (to me) 2.1MP digital camera (woot! No more paying for film processing!)
- Went on Internet until about 12:30am

Sunday 29th February 2004
Morning
- Got up when i heard Dad arrive at about 9:30am (he is staying at his mothers while he's here)
- Had shower
- He txt'ed the guy from SDU we were due to meet
- http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31397
- Him and me took off from here about 10:30am and headed into town

- Went on 'Skyline Cruise' albiet in a Toyota Corolla? as Dad's Skyline blew a head gasket two days before the cruise. :( (as did another R32, a GTS-t)
- Had a bloody great time with some of the nicest people to be around with (and funny)
- Memorable moments include [the 'coleslaw race' at KFC],[the 'cheering the guy playing Golf on' and probably putting him right off his game],[the 'speed camera area' sign in the middle of the water in McAndrew Bay],[the looks we got from 'boy racers' as they drove past a whole lot of parked up Skylines], [the whole convoy stopping and taking pictures of a Subaru Impreza lying in the ditch at the end radius of a very sharp hairpin turn] etc etc...
- Made the decision to go on more SDU cruises
- Came home, both of us regretting the fact that we couldn't have bough the Skyline along... NEXT TIME!
- Played Broken Sword (PS2)
Evening
- Went around to Dad's mother's place for tea
- Came home and spent the rest of the night on the net

- Got up ( :eek: :eek: )

- Got phone taken off me by father and brother who wanted to play around with it. :D
- Took two photo's of youngest brothers' newly purchased RX7
Afternoon

- Watched a little bit of the Oscars
- Went on net
- Typed this
- Got highly annoyed when Internet Explorer started going slower than a square block of concrete would sliding downhill in deep sand
- Got even more annoyed so turned the computer off before it knew what the grass out the window tasted like...
- Thought i'd try again the next day (today)

End

So as you can see my day was a bit different from most newcomers to their 21st year of life, but i'm happy with the way the day went so thats all that matters. :)
