Actually I was old last year; this year I'm just continuing the trend

That's right, ol' Brad is ninteen as of last Wednesday.
I've been doing my celebrating all week. Monday I hung out with my Williamstown homies (minus Kayla who had to work). For a while, it was just me, Kelsey, Jess, and Alli chillin' out in the park, eating cookies and drinking pop. Then Kelsey and Alli's friend Dave showed up, and he was kind of in and out the whole evening. Then, as if by stoner magic, Stephanie Vaughan and her posse of men show up from out of nowhere. This included her boyfried, Tim Hanson, and two Williamstown-based stoners who go by the names Peaches and TJ. Stephanie was there for a minute and we talked and stuff; it was good to see her again. Then she, and Tim, and her boyfriend left, and Peaches and TJ stuck around. This infuriated Jess, who apparently just gets off on being angry and unpleasant with people, because she'd picked a fight with us already because we were talking about sex and church camp: her two least-favorite subjects (because not only is she an atheist, she's an ignorant, concervative atheist: makes a mochery of the whole concept, if you ask me). So she stormed off and pouted over by the swings for about twenty minutes before she called her mom and went home to play World Of Warcraft by herself. We just let her go, which apparently pissed her off even more. And this was all over me and Kelsey and Alli talking to a couple of stoners. Big fuckin' deal!
But I didn't let that ruin my day. Casey showed up shortly there after and the five of us (Casey, Alli, Dave, Kelsey, and myself) went down to the 7-11 because me and Kelsey had to pee. We hung out there for a bit, until Kelsey's boyfriend (Stevie) called and wanted to meet up with us. So we headed back towards the park, and around the bank we ran into him. It was at that point that we kind of paired off into twos: Kelsey and Stevie, Casey and me, and Alli had the misfortune of being paired off with Dave, who apparently enjoys torturing her. Me and Alli attempted to try to skip together, a la Dorthy and the Scarecrow and the rest of them did in the Wizard Of Oz, but that proved problematic since I take longer strides than Alli: I ended up just dragging her.
In the park, we ran into Peaches and TJ again and they hung out with us for a while longer. Brittany showed up, smoking cherry flavored cigars... I have nothing to say about that. Then Casey got diarhea and had to hurry back to her house. I would learn later that week then she shat herself in the car. Tragically hilarious. :P
Tuesday afternoon, I hung out with Kayla and we walked around Williamstown, talking about all the emo bands were guilty of listening to. Her sister and mean, faggy Adam drove past us about eight times, because they don't have lives either.
Wednesday was my actual birthday and it was cold and rainy. That's a bitch, eh? It wasn't so bad. I had to go to school though, but it was no worse than any other day. After school, Cee and I went over to KT Videos for their going-out-of-business sale. Cee bought me episodes four and five of Evangelion for $4.00 as a sentimental gesture: two years ago on my birthday, those were the first two episodes of Eva we ever saw. When I got home, Casey was there and she had brought with her all of Brittany's Sailor Moon tapes. We watched a bunch of that and had a great time making fun of ourselves for being so obsessed with it as kids. I still think it's an amazing show though. :D
Thursday... I didn't do anything.
Yesterday evening I went out to Devola for Libby's pre-birthday dinner (since I had long before decided I was going to have a "sudden optomitrist's appointment" on the day of her actual party... 'cause I didn't want to hang out with all her lame friends who don't like me anyway). It was good. Emily and her family were there, as well as Libby's parents and grandparents (it was their house it was at) and her cousin Chris, and her sister, and her boyfriend Jeremy. We all ate Chinese and had a pretty good time. We try to do something like this every year since my birthday's on the fourth, Libby's is on the seventh, and her mom's is on the first.
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friends from school. Me, Cee, Emily, the Stephs, and Robert went to the Empire for lunch. They paid for mine, which was nice. Cee, Emily, and Steph Ward made me nice cards and Steph Ward even went as far as to buy me a manga (so that means I'm gonna have to get her something pretty bad ass here in a couple weeks when it's her birthday). Afterwards, we went back to Steph Merrill's and played Guitar Hero and Soul Calibre II. It was fun playing guitar hero sober. Me and Steph Ward did two player on "Fat Lip" by Sum 41, which took me back to my emo days and made me smile. After Robert and Emily left, me, Cee, and the Stephs watched Gundam Wing on VHS which was fantastic. I got to relive my frist two anime obsessions in one week. I really wanna get those two on DVD.
And that's about it.
Peace:
BRAD
