No, this man is not 18. But I am.I have been on this planet for a little over 18 years, if you count womb time. Today, I turned 18, and will never, in my life, be a child again. I don't feel any different, so it is strange to think that I am regarded as such a different person by the legal world, now.
Today, so far, has been the best birthday ever. It is only 10.30am, but I can already say this. It started off at my year 12 Formal, which finished at 11.30, but I stayed until 12 so that I could turn 18 with my beautiful girlfriend, Lauren. Then, I went with my parents and Debbie and Warren Winkler and Lauren, to Crown Casino, and I learnt how best to get rid of money. Now I need to learn how best to get it. That was fun, and being asked for ID was also very exciting. Especially watching the guy's face when he had to double check my ID card, and then check his watch before letting me in. Awesome.
I went home, and had a good 6.5 hours sleep, and then woke up to my family, and got presents form the etc. Normally, I would be excited about getting presents, and look forward to them, but recently I have become less excited, and this year, I truly felt like I didn't need anything else to satisfy me at all. I have everything I could need, especially materially, so I didn't and don't feel like I need presents to make my day good at all. This simply means that when I did get stuff, I felt the love that was in them, and was so thankful for everything. But what have I got so far? Well, I got many shirts. Awesome. Some shorts. Very awesome. The last Harry Potter book. Yes, that is what I will spend the rest of my birthday doing. Maybe. I got my Certificate III in Christian Ministry from Vetamorphus given to me in a frame. I got P plates. And I got a life size replica of Narsil, but I knew about this one, and actually bought it myself.
Anyway, best presents ever. Also, I have got many messages from people wishing me a haopoy birthday, which is cool. Especially when they wake you up.
So, I am 18. I can now vote for Sir Ian McKellan as Prime Minister for Australia, if he ever runs for it. Awesome.

The security guard checking his watch to see if you were allowed into the casino. priceless.
Happy birthday Jono, I wish you all the best for your next 18 years, and hope that you continue to be the integral, creative and dedicated person (man?!) that you become so far.
Brendan's good wishes only extend for the next 18 years. Mine extend for a lifetime.
There is one present you need, and cannot wait to get. It is coming. We should make posters and stick them up, that say, "_ _ _ _ _ is coming!"
Fill in the blanks.
The word is CHONG.
I must say, the invitations to your party were pretty much the best that I know of.
You came up with the idea?
They are smanbastical. I will pretend to be 18 now, and male, and get in to Crown Casino... the casino part.
