TWO DAYS TILL MY BDAY!
It’s Cynthia’s bday still here in Canada. I doubt it still is in the eastern side of the world, however.. Haha. BTW, Happy Bday Panda! Have a good one (or should I say, I’m sure you already had a good time?)

Ack, sixteenth bday in two days. Wow. I didn’t think I’d make it this far. LOL. Just kidding. It’s just that I remember being 9, and getting excited for my TENTH bday. I remember, I used to blurt out as a little 9 year old, “EEEEE! Double digits!” LOL. Six years later, I’m dreading my sixteenth bday, and it’s just sixteen. Not twenty, or thirty, or forty. But it’s insane! In four years, I’m gonna be in my twenties. It’s the numbers that bother me. With age comes responsibility. I don’t like that. I’m not necessarily the most responsible person out there (at least, not yet). I like the fact that I can mess up and use “I’m still young, so yeah - don’t blame me,” excuse. In a few days, it’ll be the end of that excuse. Crap. That reminds me, I have to find a new, reasonable excuse. Darn.

Anyways, there are 3 other people that I know (and two of them, I’m actually good friends with) that has the same bday as moi. They’re all excited. I am not. I’m not even sure I’m gonna be doing anything fun.. I’m not sure if fries guy and I are going downtown. We’re hanging out, it’s just that he’s not sure if he can go downtown. I really wanna, since I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do.

Hrmm, I really can’t believe I’m gonna be 16. God, I know not a lot would change yet in one day. But then again, it will. Responsibility.. gah! This is the thing: my parents shall be expecting more from me. LOL. I know I am whining, but I am a teenager, and I do not like being told what to do. Especially when I don’t wanna do something. Not that I’m a rebel (okay, maybe kinda, but not sooo much); it’s just that I’d much rather do it my own way and learn that way.

Oh, and one thing I hate about bdays here, they ANNOUNCE your bday over the intercom every morning. It would be alright if it was a class where my friends were. Unfortunately, there is nobody that I talk to in math. Like NOONE. Holy crap. I hate that. And oh, I have TWO tests that day. Math trig and english poetry. Yeah, I already hate my bday hahaha!

Well I’m done. Rant overrr!
