I should probably give an update on the parental situation. Thank you to everyone who commented on the last entry, even if I don't really have the emotional energy to reply to all of them.

I made it pretty clear to my parents that I was upset that they wouldn't be here for my 21st next year, so they've agreed to change the dates of their trip so they can be back in time for my 21st, though still not for Christmas/New Years, but whatever, I'll take what I can get. And hey, on the plus side, I'm not above using it as a guilt tripping tool to get really expensive shit that I want for my birthday. Like a birthday dinner with my parents at Aria which I've only wanted to go to for years and doubly so since the Master Chef finale (holy crap did you see that dessert???) so. You know. It's not all bad! Christmas alone is shitty but I figure I can stay positive if I manage to wrangle something good out of it.

Mum's also been bugging me lately about what I want to do for my 21st, but I keep telling her that I don't know, and that it's 6 months away still so what does it matter? And she keeps saying that she needs to book the venue, but I'm like... I'm not gonna have a big party with heaps of people because end of the line is that I just don't HAVE that many friends, and besides I don't really drink, so whatever, you know? I wouldn't be having it at a bar.

So! Anyone got any good ideas for 21st parties you can do that are fun that don't involve drinking? I already did karaoke this year, so that's out :(.
