HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (I TOTALLY DESERVE IT)

BAH! crazy crazy week.

Last week was anxiety week a.k.a. university applications are due and you haven't even started them week.
I am proud to say that I am procrastinator extraordinaire and I should even be given my own class to teach others my art.
I applied to my schools of choice the day they were due and then I hunted down a fedex man and forced him to deliver my applications for the cost of zero dollars. Not to mention that there happened to be a huge snowstorm that day... otherwise I probably would have dropped them off myself. I have to say that I am quite proud of my persuasion skills. The more annoying you are, the faster it takes to convince people to do your dirty work for free.

OH! And today is my birthday by the way! 20 years ago, my mother dropped dead of exaustion after pushing me out, only to find out that she had years and years of exaustion to follow.
My parents bought me a new tv and a three month membership to a gym for my birthday. I guess it's their way of saying "here's that tv you wanted, but here's a gym pass as well so you don't get fat(ter)watching it all day long".
Of course evcery single person I know had t o point out to me that today is also International Women's Day. That's fucking bullshit if you ask me. If Hallmark doesn't bother to make a corner in their store for it, the day doesn't exist, if you ask me! So today is my day and only mine!... and my uncle's too, I guess, since it's his birthday too.

This year we celebrated at my best friend's mother's house out in the country, seeing as she's a cripple right now and can't really move (if you wanna know why she's a cripple, read my last entry about my trip to the emergency room). The night turned out alright though because we played pin the tail on the donkey...for real. One of my better birthdays, considering my 18th birthday was spent trapped in a dingy bar because we got snowed in.

Anyhow, on the occasion of my 20th birthday, I have a compiled a list of why I like birthdays so much:

I LIKE (MY) BIRTHDAYS SO MUCH BECAUSE:
-Tooty Fruity gives you breakfast for free on your birthday.
-Work gives you a day off on your birthday.
-Friends give you anything you want on your birthday.
-Boys who said they hated you and never wanted to speak to you again call you on your birthday to wish you a good day.
-If you're me, a birthDAY can easily be dragged out to a birthWEEK (going out for drinks Thursday night, if you come, there better be a present).
-The people at the car wash give you free wax jobs on your car when you slip in that it's your birthday.
-People you didn't even know still exist send you cards because it's cool to jump on the birthday bandwagon.
-You get to pick whats on the menu for dinner when it's your birthday.

...and I'm sure there are other reasons to love my birthday, but its only a little after noon right now and this is all I've experienced so far today...

Well, I'm going to go wash my hair now because it's my birthday and I can do whatever I want!
