Of course I’ll be celebrating! It is my birthday after all! There’s a group of us going out for Ethiopian food tonight, and we’ll probably end up at someone’s house playing board games, or maybe back here playing Mario Kart. What? True story: A few months ago I got carded at the grocery store for buying alcohol. The clerk was a stoner type in his early twenties. I handed him my ID, and when he saw my birthdate, he smiled. “Nice birthday.” I wish that I was a better liar, because I wanted to put a confused look on my face and say “Why?” Instead I just smiled and said thanks, as if I had picked it out myself. ---

Today’s is my friend’s birthday and she feel that the Hitler thing and the pot thing balance each other out. She’s the one I sent the giant microbe plushes to. Somehow they seemed appropriate, though I don’t know why. ---

I can buy the umm… party materials… but I lack a place to indulge. My parents dont mind me partying that way, but would rather not have the place smell that way. Drat! ---

I will be if the boyfriend decided to purchase some party materials. But it’s beautiful out and we’re going mini golfing anyway and probably drinking later. Either way I’ll be cool tonight. ---

Sorry to harsh the buzz, guys, but according to the Registration Agreement: > [@](#): > > You agree not to post material that in our opinion fosters or promotes activity that is illegal in the U.S. Unfortunately (depending on how you look at it), this particular drug use is currently illegal in the U.S. Discussing past uses is one thing; talking about how you will be breaking the law in celebration is quite another. I’m afraid I’ll be closing this one down. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-4-20/400920.md?page=1)
