My birthday as it was my 18th. This meant I was legally allowed to drink within the UK. Didn’t plan on doing anything for my birthday as I never really liked the idea of using an excuse to influence others to do things they don’t want to do. I don’t mind when it’s other people’s birthdays, but when it’s mine... I’m not the greatest fan of being the centre of attention. I do like it, but I get a bit uncomfortable. Love/Hate etc... Well, because it was my 18th, people though it was silly that I wasn’t doing anything and my friends and family threw me a surprise party. Really put things into perspective for me. It also meant I was an adult sooo yea. Big day I’ll never forget I guess.

Nope, fortunately I’ve been quite healthy this year, hopefully this will continue in 2012.

Similar to the question above. But I wouldn’t go and blame that on others, so I’ll say my self.
