I have been informed that people cannot find my pictures. So here is the link: http://pics.livejournal.com/deepgreen18/gallery/00001k8x
Hopefully this works.

In other news, my 21st birthday was yesterday. There is much gasping and "Oh, really?"'s on your side of the screen, I'm sure. It was pleasant and fairly uneventful. We went to church, Olive Garden for lunch, and had ice cream cake in the evening. If you are wondering, and I'm sure you are (everyone and their brother has asked): No, I did not have alcohol on this most auspicious and traditional of days. I had a virgin pina coloda. This is my twisted sense of humor at work, and it makes me original in my own way. It was very good.

Warning, a small rant against drinking is ahead.
Can someone tell me what the point of alcohol is? If it's to relieve stress, I feel that I have better, less poisonous ways to destress. If it is for social occasions, why should I have it with my family around?
I don't like how it tastes or smells. It makes me feel woozy, and I hate being out of control. They say being tired is worse for your motor control and judgement than drinking, and I despise how slow I get when I'm tired.

And that, my friends, is why I will likely only drink to excess once, and maybe not even that.

I think I'm in a slightly less happy mood than I thought. I shall go now and think about random things, like Victoria's top. I've been swatching for it, and am hoping for a better result than the last top I made. Also, I can't start it until the 8th (darn Ravelympics), so I have to find something else to occupy me for the next three days. There is also Robin Hood. My lovely younger brother was kind enough to keep the episodes taped for me while I was away, and I watched most of them last night. "Most of them" because he accidentally deleted the next to last one. Frustrating, that. I am currently waiting for paypal to receive a few dollars so itunes will be paid when I get the episode because itunes doesn't like my billing address! It is a bit frustrating, as I said. Makes me wonder about the relaxing properties of alcohol, actually.

There we go, I just smiled at my own wit. I'm off to the dermatologist, now. Here's hoping for clearer skin once again.
