(no subject)
It was a whole 'nother year, and he was a year older. It probably shoulda meant more to him than it did, especially considerin' he probably would never have one again back home, but he never celebrated it much back home an' the tendency sorta bled over onto the island. In fact, it was a pretty regular day in general in the beginnin'. He got up, got dressed, went up to the Compound to do a couple of things. He jus' shoulda known not to go into the rec room, 'cause if he hadn't realized it was that day before, he knew it then.
The music jus' started blarin' the second he entered, his board under one arm and the sandwich he made in the other. He'd only come in to eat - it was too hot to sit outside - but now he was really rethinkin' the whole idea. It couldn't play forever, though, an' he was stubborn enough to decide to jus' ignore it until it got tired. He ignored the couple of curious stares from people in the room too, as he found an empty couch and flopped down onto it, puttin' his hoverboard down under his feet so no one tripped on it.
He started reconsiderin' the idea of stickin' around after the third loop of the 'Happy Birthday' song started. He was pretty sure the place was gonna drive him crazy one day.
[OOC: Slightly slowtimeish as I'm getting some homework done, but I wanted to make sure this was up on the right day. :) Yes, it's his 19th birthday today.]
