✰ into what yesterday we called the future

It seemed like an appropriate line from my favourite poem, Deborah Digges' Trapeze, since today's my birthday. 17 is a highly anticlimactic age, since it's stuck between 16, where one (supposedly, I'm still learning) can drive, and 18, where one is magically imbued with all the knowledge in the world and is somehow ready to be an "adult" (haha, ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! ^_^ I hope you're having a good day today!
And there's really nothing wrong with being 17, it's a great age and you should enjoy it! :3

Good luck with the interview! Being nervous about these things is normal, I'm sure you can do it! :>

Thanks! It's actually been pretty boring thusfar, but that's okay with me. c:

I hope it does turn out alright. ;;

If you're anything like me, you won't be able to tell the difference between 17 and 18. I have to measure growth in spans of several years, because changes from one year to another aren't always significant.

...happy birthday, too! Where the hell is my brain lately?

Yeah, year-by-year changes don't tend to register as much for me as do phases I go through.

Thanks, bb~

Happy birthday!

I think it depends on what you do after you turn 18. If you go to university, then that's a major break from before and you might feel 'adult' as a result, but if you just carry on living with your parents (like I did) then it's not any different and you don't feel different either.

I hope your interview goes well, I know they can be nerve-wracking.

K-ON! is seriously cute.

Thanks!

If my interview goes well, I'll be taking the college route, so we'll see how that goes with me.

Aaah, it is~ =w=
