sooooo another birthday been and gone eh? how very odd it is. it still hasn't quite sunk in. beforehand, i was making a big ol fuss that no one would be coming...which in fact turned out to be a ridiculous, irrational fear. sometimes i feel like i'm a bit of a background noise in people's lives...so i like my birthday to be quite special, and so i assert myself in certain ways so that people will pay me some attention, even if it's just for one day. thus, stupid ramblings about not being loved! lol, sorry.
last night was so weird, lol. many of my friends from several different circles all hanging out together. there were presents (yay!!), crazy drunk multilingual singing dutchmen (woah), crazy drunken hamer getting in a fight (which i did eventually realise was to protect our honour, so well done him!), dancing to billie jean and jail house rock with tiny little paul, downing three shots in a row (red white and blue for the queens bday, oh yeah), seeing emma agar (how freakin random), having deep and meaningfuls with skid. everyone kept saying 'at least it's a memorable one!!'. and at first i was like 'yeah but this is wrong, this is wrong, this is weird, this is gonna go wrong'. but everyone else was right. it was just...an amazing night of randomness, which is blatantly gonna be unforgetable, lol.
i was so so so hungover today. we got in at about 3a.m., i didn't get to sleep til about half past cuz i was drunkenly texting people. and then my stupid stupid body clock decided to wake me at 7 in the morning. went back to sleep at 8 for an hour or so, but still, woke up and was like 'uuuuuuu dsnakdnal dhufda???'. then stu came over, even tho he was so so ill, i'm so grateful that he came to see me today despite the fact that he felt quite shitty! and he gave me lots of lovely lovely presents. as did my parents, including some dvds, hair curlers, a sewing machine and belly button brush (??? don't ask!). and then, despite the rain, i journeyed to kearsney abbey for an afternoon of BBQ, a brief wet game of twister, chat, drink, at least an HOUR AND A HALF'S worth of hilarious frisbee, more BBQ, and back to linz's for family guy.
and then it was now. and i'm so so knackered that it feels like it all didn't actually happen! now i just have the memories, the new pressies, and the photos, which i am waaaay too excited to get developed as soon as possible, there's at least three specifically good ones that i want to see! and of course, that goddam number... i am twenteen. but in name only - in my head i'm still bloody 17. tomorrow, i'm goin out with my family for a meal which should be really nice, i'm gonna spend the day playin with my pressies and stuff til then tho, yay.
finally, just want to say thank u so much to everyone who contacted me over the last two days - even if you couldn't make it, which i completely understand - my text inbox has been completely full all day!! so thank you so much.
