my 18th birthday went as follows:
it's been a while, eh?
not much has happened, but today, on this 18th anniversary of my birth, my life was like a movie:
-woke up in laurel, MD, a small boring town outside of d.c. with stephanie.
-spent about two hours trying to get into d.c. by means of public transit to no avail. finally decided to drive to the nearest metro station.
-we got into d.c. and jaywalked our way to the holocost memorial museum where we spent an hour and a half in one exhibition.
-the biggest reason i wanted to be in d.c. on my birthday was so that i could get some vegan baked goods at sticky fingers, one the few vegan bakeries i know of.
-to get to sticky fingers before it closed, stephanie and i started walking, without really knowing how far away it was or how to get there.
-20 blocks later, and about 9 blocks away from the bakery, the skies start pouring down rain. we do not have an umbrella and just run for it.
i have to say that although we got soaked, running in the rain with stephanie on my birthday was definately one of those moments i will always remember with a smile.
-we finally make it to sticky fingers and stephanie, being the sweet, wonderful girl she is, bought me a birthday cake and other confections.
-we ride the metro dripping wet and when we make it back to the car, one of the rear tires is flat.
-now, back at home, her mother, being the sweet wonderful lady that she is, surprised me with a birthday cake (that i can't eat, but that's not the point), baloons, and a card.
i can't help but feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
