What A Beautiful Birth Day!

Today was probably the best birthday I've ever had in my entire life! I have to record this somewhere! First off, from midnight to two, I was reading a story that some person posted online, and it was so amazing! Then I went to bed and I had the best dream ever. The contents are private, hehe.

THEN, when I woke up, my younger sister had created a scavenger hunt for me, and she gave me pretty much a billion presents. It was so fun! Then I went and got my hair cut and styled, and it looks not bad, I must say (though I have to maintain the style now), and after that I went with my mom and my sisters to the park to have a picnic lunch. It was so amazing.

Then I went to Borders at four and found the book I wanted to read (cheap!) and at the last minute, a BEATLES POSTER 75% OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I got that for two dollars and I had a coupon, so, all together it was like 7 bucks. AMAZING!

Then I went to Buca di Beppo for dinner with my youth group, and it was really fun. I loved all my presents, though I'm pretty sentimental so I have to say I loved the cards a little more. Hehe. All together, it's been a really good day. One AMAZING day. I mean, at Buca, the waiters freaking sang to me in ITALIAN and made me blow out candles on a candelabra!!!!!!!!!! I loved every moment of it, and I'm a little sad that it's over, but who cares? I loved it, loved it, loved it! :D

I just had to record it. It was my special day, and I hope everybody had a great day on my birthday. :]

I Wish

You know that feeling when you want something so badly it actually, physically hurts? I think I've experienced that a lot recently.

I'm sure everyone wants something that badly at least once or twice in their life. If not, then seriously, you must get everything on a silver platter. Or you just don't want anything... The thing I want most right now is to get out of here. I'm tired of living like this, in comfort and so sheltered all the time. It's boring here, I'm tired of the sun (please rain, come back!) and I want to go away so badly it's hurting me. Ugh. I want adventure! People say that I'm going to get homesick really fast and that the other places aren't as good or are all just the same, but I want to see for myself! I want to travel, to study in England (which is one of my dreams!), explore new cultures, see new things, experience new places, etc. And it's not even good enough to go visit. I want to LIVE there. Hence, the studying in England. For a YEAR! That would be so amazing!

Anyway, if life keeps going at such a slow pace for me, I think I may bust. Internally, of course, so no worries to anyone about cleaning up a mess. That just gave me a pretty nasty mental picture.

So anyway, yeah, going out with friends and applying for colleges made that want rise up again in my chest and now I want it so bad I'm stressing myself out. Need to relieve stress!! I stand corrected from yesterday. I may get a heart attack and die any minute now.


Song of the Day: Sailing - Christopher Cross

Poem of the Day:
Travel - Edna St. Vincent Millay

The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.

All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.

My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train I'd rather take,
No matter where it's going.

Finally Finals!

Well, I'm pretty new to all this, so I don't have much to write about. I guess I'll start with my day. Finals! People are stressing out about it, but ... I'm not, so that's good. Unless stress equals good grades in the equation of life. But if you add heart palpatations in the mix and anxiety and medication for stress, you'll probably end up with a heart attack. So it's good I'm not stressed, right?

ANYWAY, I have decided I'm pretty addicted. To, well, Paul McCartney. He's one talented guy! Oh! Something awesome happened today too! First is rain. Second; my friend who's stationed in Afghanistan (he's part of the marines) went online to facebook and we got to talk! I haven't talked to him since he left! Which was a few months ago. Long time. Who says facebook isn't helpful? Pfft.

Anyhow, I'm through talking about myself for now. Maybe I'll find something more interesting to talk about. Later.

Poem of my Day:
This Is Just To Say - William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.
