These Girls Born In The 90's Are Dangerous

19, you're only 19 for God's sake,

Oh, you don't need a boyfriend.

"Once And Never Again", The Long Blondes

Oy! I've turned nineteen! Actually I don't know how to feel about this age, because you know, 18 - you're fully adult in Russia, 20 is such a beautiful jubilee, 21 - you're fully adult everywhere (legal drinks!!). But 19, what the hell is 19? Well, to say the least, it's the last year of being a "teen", and I definitely don't feel like a teen. Of course, lots of my problems, my diffidence, my 'beloved' seasonal depressions are so typically teenage things. But I don't want to act like a teenager! I study at university, I have a job, I'm a part of a big student organisation, I travel the world by myself! I freak out every time Cherry Lady says: "What do they want from us? We're basically still children!" What the hell are you talking about? Woman, you're nearly 20, get your shit together! Thankfully, my parents haven't treated me as a kid since I was like 14, and somehow I managed to be independent enough (or at least I think so). I'm not talking about money, I still rely on my parents financially very much (though I try to help myself as you know), but talking about life as it is, I think I'm doing pretty well. 

All in all, I don't have much of an opinion about the age of 19. Being a pretty receptive person, I'm used to think of different ages by the way they are shown in culture. For example, I know many popular songs about 17 ("Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean...", "Only seventeen, but she walks the street so mean..."). 21 is the point you're not underage anymore. I really like the movie "21 And Over", so hilarious! But what about 18? 19? I'm sure there are many songs about that, but I can't recall anything from my music knowledge. I did a little research to find something lovely about being 19. Indeed I found some good songs, but the most famous person was Billy Ray Cyrus. Well, Mr. Cyrus' song isn't about being nineteen though, but I like it. Ah yeah, there was also a song by The Rolling Stones. But the fine thing is that I found some really nice new stuff. So here's "Seventeen" by Billy Ray and another one I really liked - "Not Nineteen Forever" by The Courteeners straight away.

And now it's time to describe my super party! This year I decide to arrange a house party, 'cause it's def cheaper, but it's more dangerous because don't forget we live in the dormitories where alcohol is forbidden. But we're usually lucky to but some liquor and carry it through in our backpacks without being checked. This time we were kissed by God himself, because when we bought the last batch of beverages on my BDay's eve, right after we carried everything through, the security started checking everybody's bags. HOW LUCKY WE WERE! Because I carried tequila, vodka and bourbon in my backpack, and it would be incredibly disappointing to lose it all. To put it mildly. All in all we had two bottles of wine, two bottles of vodka, a bottle of Olmeca Blanco and also a bottle of Jim Beam. Yeah, there ain't no my birthday party if there ain't no tequila! You might think "If you had so much alcohol, you must have had many friends there". Hah. 5. There were only 5 of us. Must have been 7, but my groupmate came down with a sickness, so she and her boyfriend couldn't join us. To my surprise we skipped wine (though we opened one bottle) and started right with Jim Beam, everyone! Only Anton, our group leader, drank the whisky purely, the rest of us mixed it with Coke, it was kinda our long drink. Then it was the turn of vodka, we mixed it with Schweppes, but took it as shots. And so when tequila came, Anton forbade us to mix it with anything, so we all drank tequila purely, but with salt and lemon (I forgot to but lime in town, and there weren't limes in our campus' shop). It was the first time Tatyana tried tequila, and she liked it. Actually, everybody liked everything. We played forfeits, danced, had so much fun! Cherry Lady, who had been responsible for food, worried if the guests would like what she cooked, but everything was delicious. All guests and I enjoyed the party so much! We all were pleased by the company of ours. A little trouble appeared when we went out, but I hope everything'll end up well. And if you want to jump in the atmosphere of that night, turn on "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake, the second album by "Run the Jewels" and Rachmaninoff. 

One of the forfeit was to become an extravagant photographer and create a cool photo. Cherry Lady picked out this one, and the photos came out pretty dramatic indeed.

I also couldn't miss taking some selfies. I learn not to be a fool :D

The whole squad: Cherry Lady at the bottom (only her eyes mostly),
Tatyana on the right, Anton on the left, me in the pose of queen
and Cherry Lady's boyfriend Andrew in the background .

Being selfish, I really like my face here. Cat eyeliner's so on point!
And look at Anton! If I'm a tequila lady, he's absolutely a whisky man.

In the end we found ourselves sitting at the beach, discussing things, making the conclusion that my party came off so well.

There're gonna be two songs of the day. The first one is "Acquainted" by The Weeknd. I used a line from it as the title. Originally there was a song called "Girls Born In The 90's", but it was leaked, so the Weeknd decided to rerecord the song with different lyrics, but he left a part from that original track in quite new "Acquainted". The girls born in the 90's are dangerous because many power girls who are highly famous nowadays were born in the 90's indeed: Ariana Grande, many models like Kendal Jenner, Gigi Hadid and others... Me, in the end of it all! It's our time now, girls! We're in our prime, time to work shit up and rule the world! 'Cause "you're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch!"

Baby you're no good

Cause they warned me bout your type girl

I've been ducking left and right

Baby you're no good

Think I fell for you, I fell for you, I fell for you

You got me puttin' time in, time in

Nobody got me feeling this way

You probably think I'm lying, lying

I'm used to bitches comin' right 'way

You got me touchin' on your body

You got me touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I get you touchin' on your body

I get you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

Baby you're no good

All my niggas think I'm crazy cause I'm thinkin' 'bout us lately

But really if I could

I'd forget about you, 'get about you, 'get about you

You got me puttin' time in, time in

Nobody got me feeling this way

You probably think I'm lying, lying

I'm used to bitches comin' right 'way

You got me touchin' on your body

You got me touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I get you touchin' on your body

I get you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted, we're acquainted

Momma caught me cryin', cryin', cryin', cryin'

I won't find somebody that's real (she wants somebody that's real)

Cause every time I try to, try to, try to run

The fast life keeps gaining on me, shit

But ever since I met you

I couldn't believe what you did

So comfort me babe, ain't no rush from me babe

I keep on touchin' on your body

I keep on touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I got you touchin' on your body

I got you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted, we're acquainted

I'm not trying to talk at all

Cause I'm trying to love you crazy

Put some more inside your cup

And drink till you numb the pain

I got you touchin' on your body

These girls keep touchin' on their body

They got accustomed to the life we live

These girls born in the 90's are dangerous

I got 'em thinkin' that they want me

Although they know they not the only

I got 'em wanting to embrace their sins

These girls born in the 90's are dangerous

Another song is "Girls Your Age" by Transviolet. The song has interesting story, check it out here. The song's so my style, and the lyrics is on point. 

17 runnin from innocence, like it's a lion

Nipping at my heels, but I'm young so I out run 'em

Jailbait baby hunting men in their 20's

Cupid's shooting arrows, but I'm cold so I outgun 'em

Bad boy talking fast, talking dirty

He tells me that I'm hot, so I tell him that I love him

And he says girls your age,

Never mean what they say

I've got a renegade heart,

And it's screaming his name

But then it beats like

You've got time to kill baby

Don't go jump the gun

Live fast while you're young honey

Don't go chasing love, chasing love

21 thrown back revelry, like it's morphine

Thought I knew what I wanted, I never saw you coming

Black suit, looking sharp with your dark eyes

He loves my imperfections, so I tell him that I love him

Bad boy talking fast, talking dirty

He tells me that I'm hot, so I tell him that I love him

And he says girls your age,

Never mean what they say

I've got a renegade heart,

And it's screaming his name

But then it beats like

You've got time to kill baby

Don't go jump the gun

Live fast while you're young honey

Don't go chasing love, chasing love

Be brave!
