So yesterday was my birthday. I turned twenty, which kind of sucks. Not to sound like a downer, it's just that being twenty is like one of the lamest ages ever, because it means you're officially too old for teenage shenanigans like egging teachers' houses, pantsing dudes in the hallway, and beating the shit out of the girl that you accidentally got teen pregnant so her dad doesn't find out you had sex with her and hunt you down and blow your nuts off with a shotgun...i mean, what?

Anyway, i ditched class. I know it's early in the semester (like the first week of class, lol) but i figure i deserve break on my birthday. It was an okay day. I didn't really do too much, but i got to celebrate with my girlfriend. We had a nice dinner together (past alla vodka and jesus christ was it amazing!), and then like passed out on the couch cuz we both ate waaay too much, lol. It was a good day.

My mom got back home from texas at like 2 this morning and naturally, picked a fight as soon as i got up. She had to work today though, so she got hers, haha! And after she left i cried for like twenty minutes. Not because we had been fighting, but because i watched the end of Phenomenon. John Travolta plays George Malley, a small town guy who suddenly gets super smart and is practically plagued by his new intelligence in a town where people don't understand his new ideas. *Spoiler Alert!* In the end we find out that his genius is due to a malignant and inoperable brain tumor that is somehow stimulating, rather than destroying his brain cells, but at the same time is limiting blood flow and slowly killing him. He dies at the end in one of the most heart-wrenching endings I have ever seen in a movie (pretty on par with the end of My Girl and any movie where in the end a cherished pet dies). And i just lost it.

You know how sometimes, when you haven't cried in a long time, something just gets you started and then you just can't stop. And i'm talking full-on bawling, you know like, that day you came out of your mom kind of crying. Snot-dripping down your face, fast-shallow breathing and incoherent noise-making, kind of crying. The kind of crying where you can't physically cry hard enough. Yeah, it was like that, and i gotta say, its pretty refreshing, lol. I highly recommend it.
