Wednesday 22 October 2008 4:20pm Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday dear Kiyah, Happy Birthday to ME!!!!! Sweet 16. October 21, 2008 I made it! For some reason I've always thought that I would die before reaching my sixteenth birthday. I'm here though, and It was a special day for me. I was sang happy birthday to in 1st period and I had to wear the birthday crown--I didn't though. (My teacher apparently keeps track of our birthdays) I felt like a little kindergardner:) All day yesterday, I was wished 'Happy Birthday' to...and I felt loved, as though people actually cared about me. I mean, people who don't even talk to me like that...knew it was my birthday. I was texted all day. I didn't do anything for the birthday. I don't really celebrate them...but I guess it was special because I'm 16. If I were like everyone else, I probably would have gotten 'fucked up'. I should have. I live in the rich suburbs and it's surprisingly very easy to get drugs. Oh well, that's how it is here. It's normal I suppose- *** I went to the mall to get some job applications...I'm definately not working at a fast food restaurant. I signed up for Claires' Icing and Pretzal Twister or whatever it's called. Hopefully I'll get accepted. I need Money.

Me, too. I thought that about my fourteenth, my fifteen, my sixteenth, and my upcoming seventeenth. Thank God our expectations fall far below reality.

Happy sweet sixteen, hon.
