It’s my birthday!
Today I turned twenty.
Usually, I never feel as if I suddenly became a year older – I never really notice a difference. Today, though, I do feel old. I’m not sure if it’s just the stress from the coming move, but I feel as if I should have a full time job and my own place. Of course, other twenty-year-olds are off in college and/or working more hours than they honestly should. I feel that I lack responsibility.
I don’t have a job – let alone my own place. I don’t even have a car. I’ve never had to pay any bills because my parents have taken care of everything for me. I’m very lucky in that regard, but has it hurt me in some way?
Enough of that, though. It’s a joyous occasion, my birthday. I’ve always been very excited and happy about it, and today is no different. My dad woke me up extremely early this morning before he left for work just to give me a kiss on my cheek and tell me happy birthday. <3 He’s a great father. My mom woke me up at the exact time I was born and told me happy birthday. XD She’s very loving in her own quirky way. My brother waited for me to get up on my own, of course. He’s just that way. With his mouth full with something (I’m sure I couldn’t have identified it if I tried) he wished me a happy birthday, too.
I had a party last Saturday to celebrate this day and all of my closest friends attended. <3 Great people, the lot of them. Ha! One of my friends bought be this very cute pastel pink owl (it’s a piggy bank, but I’m not sure if I should call it an owl bank or what) and my friends stuffed it full of suckers (Jolly Rancher and Tootsie, actually) because they’re my favorite candy. After realizing I was wearing a Tootsie Pop t-shirt (with Mr. Owl on it even) we had a great big laugh. XD It’s just something we couldn’t have planed if we tried!
We spent the evening playing Apples to Apples, Monopoly, The Boogey Ball (an old child’s toy), more Apples to Apples and Clue. We also watched Monty Python’s Holy Grail. We meant to watch more Monty Python, but we never got around to it. XD Our silliness prevented such a thing.
Oh, Maria. You bought me a pair of lovely skinnies with that thur money you gave me. <3
P.S. I still haven’t fixed my About Me. =/ Well, no time like the present!
