my birthday's on wednesday, but i really don't want to be so obnoxous about it this year. that's one more thing i look back on a cringe about. being so self-centered on my birthday. i know it's the day you can be like "it's all about me" but i cringe that i every wanted a day that was "all about me." anyway, this year my birthday snuck up on me. i didn't realize i'm turning 16. like i think i've said before, i feel like i've been 16 all summer. like i felt with 14 going on 15... 14 is just so young and i feel like 15 is also so young. 16 is okay, 17 still looks really really old. i'm gonna be in college when i'm 17. for a couple months. senoir year. anyway, once i'm happy being 16, i turn it. so then i'm happy for a couple months and, oh look, i'm young again.
i feel like i've had so many firsts this year (this 2006 in particular to recently i think) i never need another first for the rest of highschool, but i s'pose a year ago i wouldn't have thought i would do/want a lot of things i have don now. not that they're not good things, or are big things... you get it...?
anyway, thanksgiving was good. like, the week was good, the actual holiday was a bit unexciting. basically because we went to my grandma's house instead of my mom's cousin's house and at my mom's cousin's house, her daughter makes really really really good cranberry pie. that's like the staple of my thanksgiving. not turkey - i don't even really like turkey - but cranberry pie. pecan and pumpkin are good, but sorta like, okay, this is sweet, but unexciting.
i have to read 192 pages of the unbearable lightness of being today and make a thesis. it's not that i don't want to read it, it's very good, just i had other things i had to read on the subway and 192 pages is kinda a lot.
