22

Despite my best efforts, I turned 22 three days ago. At that time, I happened to be in Las Vegas. How I got there and what I did there is a tale of intrigue and suspense, but who wants that? Instead, I offer you pictures with which you can quietly judge me.

Our plotted course had us driving from Berkeley to Los Angeles to Las Vegas and then back to Berkeley with some fun and mischief scheduled in along the way. Aside from one detour off the highway for a communal outdoor bathroom break, we did alright.?test?

Having seen and done completely everything there is to do in Los Angeles, we moved on to Las Vegas.

Alcohol may or may not have had something to do with the next two pictures. I was too drunk to remember.

I wish I could say I took up smoking and this was my cigarette, but... I can't.

How fascinating (the Zzyzx thing).

Nice job. I didn't notice any typos, but I'm also using bloodshot eyes and am really tired.

Looked fun! I'm glad to see you had a nice birthday. :)

I notice that I am not featured enough in this particular set. I also have perfect timing. Thanks for getting all of those stains on the ceiling of my basement, it took my parents several hours to scrub off that streak above the TV. That should thoroughly confuse anyone who bothers to read this comment. In conclusion, congratulations on being 22.
