18 today!
I am now an adult in the eyes of the law! I can legally vote and buy myself a drink, but that's no good because I'm a neutral teetotaller. Unusually I got a birthday card from the Conservative Party congratulating me on turning 28 and letting me know that I am legal to vote. I did some work experience for them when I was 16 and they've never forgotten! I don't feel any older, I don't really feel my age. I've never felt the age I actually am in years though, I shuffle between 9 and 45. It's been a nice day so far. Me and my mum went to visit my grandad in hospital again, he's doing great. He remembered what day it was and gave me a big hug. The swelling in his head has gone right down so now the massive groove in his head is more obvious. It's got me really paranoid about giving him a kiss on the forehead in case something caves in. He's joking about being a Doctor Who villain with it, hopefully he'll get the steel plate fitted soon. He's moving to the special rehab place next week.
I've got a good haul of presents so far. I'm gettingt the rest from my grandparents, aunties, etc, tonight when we go up for a drink. So far I've got:
* New pants and bra from my sister (She is obsessed with buying underwear, sort of the way I can't stop buying books.)
* A new mobile phone.
* The complete first series of QI (excellent!)
* Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
* Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry.
* The Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake (my parents apparently couldn't find the DVD series. I'm good with the book though!)
Thank you so much to everybody that wished me a happy birthday, I totally didn't expect it although I love that I kept getting reminders from LJ that my birthday was approaching! Hugs to you all!
And look what
moomintroll_xmade me!
