My Birthday

So, today was my birthday. I must say, nothing too exciting happened at all. But, last saturday night I had a shindig of sorts at my brother's house, and that was a lot of fun. The theme of the party was "2nd grade", so there was pin the tail on the donkey, a pinata, party favor bags, etc. it was a lot of fun, and great seeing everyone together. I have friends from so many differnet random places, none of them knew each other, but I think it still went relatively well!

there are some funny ones.

My parents framed my diploma for me, which is what I asked for, and my sister chipped in with them and bought me a straightening iron for my hair that I wanted, but didn't want to actually buy. Not much more to update right now, but thanks to everyone who sent/called/emailed/IMd birthday wishes =)

here is what my big sister left me on my voicemail:
"just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and I hope you're having a lovely time, and doing something that Mom would just not understand"
