Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I had 2. A civilised one with just close family, and some older friends of the family who were important to me.
But there was also a remarkably more uncivilised one (joint with my best friend) where everyone had to come dressed as super heroes. We held it at the house/commune where he was staying, and it lasted from the friday night to the last people leaving on Sunday morning. Was an incredible weekend. Also, I was Batman.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
My brother organised mine, so it was a surprise. He rented out the old state theatre in PTA, the one that is now a parking lot. It was a pretty amazing venue, as it still had the stage, and these old gothic staircases that kinda fell into disrepair. Anyway, it was a Matrix themed party, he got bands to play, dj's from Tuks.
All in all a pretty amazing party. There were a -very- ;arge amount of people, all having a lot of fun.
Granted, this was almost 9 years ago now...
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I'm surprised at how blas? people here are about their 21st. I was under the impression that it was a big deal for everyone.
To each their own I guess.

Re: What did you do for your 21st?
For my older bro's 21st we rented a jumping castle. It sounds pretty stupid until you ingest massive annount of vodka-jelly and invite all your ****-faced friends to jump around a soft, bouncey and unstable surface with you. By god it was fun....
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I did'ent have one
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I had the formal dinner with speeches followed by dancing. Then my friends and I went out and got to some drinking.
The good: Spending time with friends and family.
The bad: Getting turned down by the same girl twice, I swear she looked different.
The ugly: Watching the sun come up, while eating a McDonalds breakfast.
The OMG what have I done: Trying to stay awake through the 3 hour drive to take my sister back to school the next morning.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I got drunk off my rockers on my 21st, interestingly I remember one of my mates had tried to offer me one of those alcohol free girly party drinks and I remember saying to HIM 'No thanks I have got a "Y" chromosome, thank you very much' (was making fun of the fact that he had some liver problems).

Re: What did you do for your 21st?
Never had mine, never had a Birthday Party in the last 5 years, due to me always working or being called out just as we want to kick it off. I'll try next year LOL...
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I told my family that I didn't want any parties, and used the money for a holiday in China. Needless to say, On my 21st I ended up having two parties (one with fam and other only with friends) and still got to go to China. My suggestion? Do something memorable. I can't remember **** form the two parties, but I remember everything that happened in China :)
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I had a house party with a bunch of my besties. I had too much to drink, much too soon, so I don't remember most of it except for somebody fellating a banana. You don't forget something like that.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
My parents bought me a car for my birthday graduation christmas combined so they gave me a couple grand to do what i wanted for a party. So I had a house party at my digs at the time. Theme was 80's aerobics was pretty cool. I wanted the theme to be come as your favorite hate crime but my girlfriend wouldn't let me do it. Anyways made punch with everclear and cane had lotsa beer etc was awesome. Threw up Delgado through my nose played spoons with kitchen knives went to a nightclub and passed out on the dance floor over all a relatively standard 21st but I had a blast and that's what's important.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
To be completely honest, I actually feel sorry for people that don't have a good time or don't do something special for their birthdays, or 21sts specifically. Usually (and I know this is going to be denied vehemently) the only reason people don't want a fuss is because nobody ever fussed about them, and that sucks for them. It's part of human nature to want to be high-5'd for just being you that day, to want to be celebrated and loved. Yes, you can try to be all deep and philosophical and ask "What's the point?", but deep down everyone wants to be loved and cherished, no matter how grizzly you try to be.
For my 21st I just had a fun night with my family and my better-half at home, had my favourite food (pizza, burgers and beer), some good tunes and just had a good ol' kuier. I got a guitar that I'd always wanted too, so I got the chance to demo it for everyone there, which was awesome too. Didn't get drunk, didn't go crazy, just had a good time.
...
Well... I did get a little drunk... Enough to make me fail the Control Systems and Science of Materials final exams I wrote the Monday following the party the Saturday night.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I was working on a shutdown on my 21st, which happened to fall on a Friday. However, the following weekend a bunch of my closest friends all banged money together and had the most awesome 21st weekend away. We went to The Old Pont Holiday Resort in Port Edward, drank copious amounts of alcohol, took nature walks, booze cruises on jetskis, the works. Most bitchin' weekend I've had in a long time, and even though I don't remember half of it, I have fond memories of what I do recall and photos to fill in the blanks.
Edit: Come to think of it, that's the last time I actually did anything on my birthday. Since then, it's mostly just braais and hanging out with buds.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
Me and 9 of my closest friends went to Sun City for my 21st. We ended up in some **** on our way there, a car in front of our convoy threw a empty beer can out the window and ended on my friends hood. Yeah anyway.......
So I pretty much remember arriving there, remember going to Trader Horns at about 10 and remember some British okes buying me a "special" drink. Its was a draught glass filled with everything they had. It had this evil glow to it. Yeah pretty much dont remember much after downing it. Felt like a piece of **** the following morning but its luckely nothing a buffet breakfast cannot fix. Rinse and repeat for the next two days. Despite me blanking out every evening, it was the best weekend of my life. Also happens to be the weekend me and my wife officially started dating..........what was she thinking. :)
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I feel genuinely uncomfortable when people try and make a big fuss over me. I can feel loved and cherished without everyone having to make a big fuss over it.
Anyway, I still haven't had my 21st. And I'm turning 22 in May. Just never got around to actually organising something, so I just had a small braai and invited a few friends and yeah. Was planning on coinciding my actual 21st with that of one of my friends, seeing as we have mutual friends, but he didn't get around to hosting anything either.
This year? Doubt I'll be doing anything.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
You and I, we're the same you know. The last "party" I had was when I turned 18. And that was a night of bar-hopping with two of the best friends I've ever known. I remember most of the night - I was sick at the time and on antibiotics, but that didn't stop the shots and drinks from flowing.
Anyway, I turned 23 last month and the day passed with my family, closest friends and girlfriend all coming together, about 15 people, and having a small dinner around a glass of wine. Was really, really good.
To me it's more important to have a small, intimate get-together than throwing one hell of a bash and only have people pitch up thanks to the open bar. Leeches.
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
I went to NOFX, by myself. Best Bday ever... :P
Re: What did you do for your 21st?
Now days for my birthday I play a game cuz i dont have facebook I see how few phone calls and messages I can get! This year was a record 11. It's always so much fun when your at a friends birthday a couple weeks later and some one asks when was your birthday and you say last month and everyone gets quiet and awkward cuz they forgot it, I just sit there smiling and laughing consoling them.
And I aways remember there's and give them presents.
