It's been kind of weird around here lately. My birthday passed with no fuss, which was kinda the way I wanted it. Everyone was all worried and everything, what with McKenna doing the whole running away thing and then Anne losing her soul.
God, things really are weird.
I'm 17 years old and I guess I realise that I really am getting older. I know that's a kind of weird thought but it's like... Last year, I mentioned my birthday at the drop of a hat. Three weeks before, even, just so I could say that I'd mentioned it if they happened to forget.
Now? I just... It doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I remember Mom and Buffy and I used to do the whole 'spending the day together' thing on our birthday. We'd get up, have breakfast together and then go shop. It was fun. But since Mom... Well, we don't really do that any more. I guess it'd be too werid without Mom here.
School's been kicking my butt. Of course Buffy and Giles have been on their super-efficient kick of getting me to work harder and concentrate on my Watcher-Training which, I guess is okay. If they didn't push me I'd probably turn into, like, slacker extraordinaire or something.
*shakes head*
Speaking of, I guess I'd better go hit the books again. No rest for the wicked, or... Y'know, the once-wicked but sorta-nice now.
