Being 21 is awesome! You can drink (which kills you), smoke (which kills you) and drive (which kills you).

The only thing you can do when your 21 that WON'T kill you is buy and watch porn legally.

Also, I'm re-reading harry potter.

THE ALL OF IT.

Things that have shocked me.

Sirius Black was mentioned in the first book.

Ptolemy is a wizard.

And some other minor clues about future events seeded throughout.

The TARDIS with David Tennant
*glomps like a zombie*

Do you feeeeel different?

Do you feeeeel old? I already feel old!

Um...I don't really feel different. Maybe a little bit. I only feel old when I look at my cousins and realize how old they are.

Zoom, I love it. :D Also Sirius Black is mentioned in the first book? *makes note to reread entire series again as soon as possible*

Rowling is a plotting genius. She put all kinds of stuff in the early books. The key to destroying the Horcruxes is in the second book, when the Horcruxes themselves aren't mentioned until the sixth.

Quick question. Do you all know (without google/wiki) who the Red Baron was? Just trying to figure out the audience's level of general knowledge on this topic so I know how much explanation to add.

Lol, same as HR. My first thought was "snoopy!" but I know he was a real pilot.

If I remember rightly, very good German fighter pilot in WW2.

Gah! Had to look up Snoopy - it's not really part of UK pop culture. Might need to rethink this reference. Thanks, team.

THE RED BARON!

He shot down almost 80 british, french and american pilots during WWI. His plane was a triplane called the Albatross and he was a part of the Flying Circus, a special regiment of the Imperial German Airforce.

His actual name was Baron Von Ricthtoven (misspelled) and he had silver cups made for every pilot he shot down, with their names on it, until metal shortages forced him to stop.

I hate Peanuts. I've read almost every comic and I don't get it.

I learned about The Red Baron from...well, mostly just because history is awesome.
