So today was my birthday. Happy Birthday, me. I guess this was kind of a big one, since now I'm a legal adult, but it doesn't really seem like such a big deal to me, I guess. I've already been through my first year of college and living away from home, taking care of myself, and all that. Now I just don't have to feel awkward around my friends for still being a minor. I don't feel any different from yesterday, when I was still 17. But it does feel pretty weird to think that I'm officially an adult now. I guess I don't feel like an adult, either, since my experience living away from home has been pretty sheltered actually, living in a dorm and having a steady supply of dining hall food. And now I'm at home for the summer, and being back at home always makes me feel younger than being at school.
Well, at least I had a pretty chill day. No one was home much since it was a weekday, but I finished the first Mercy Thompson book (probably sparking the first in another summer spree of books that I go through quickly- a fair number of them urban fantasy books) and the most recent season of the UK Being Human. Watched two episodes last night and four today haha. And I remembered how much I really like that show. And... I'll probably be dreaming about werewolves tonight, possibly vampires. Anyway, I got some cool presents and we went out to dinner (Olive Garden). It was all cool.
