I firmly believes, that society should actually work by an experience point system. Where one would need to harvest the necessary skills before reaching the glorified stage of an Adult. I'm far too immature for adulthood, and I've hardly done anything to prove my worth. Instead of using age, this experience point system has a lot of benefits. It would lower the road death toll, immature and intolerant young adult angst which blights our community. I believe that it's a good system! Although I guess the down side is that you would need some type of Orwellian Goverment to make the thing work.

People have been very nice to me. Although it's disconcerting when you get a SMS from someone wishing you a happy birthday and you have NO idea who it is. But yes, isn't it lovely how even the people who you don't think remembered or cared actually do? hmm, although I think I regret not throwing a large birthday party like I wanted to, oh well, there's far too much to organise especially with such a small time frame, and my general laziness.

today was fun. Tuesdays were made for pancakes and movies. joy
