Happy Birthday to me!!
Yep, I'm eighteen. Go me. I'm not exactly thrilled, but at least I'm not legally considered a minor anymore. Other than that, it's been just a normal day.

Well, almost. Yesterday, my mom insisted on taking me to Chile's for lunch. Turns out, it was a horrible trap, and she'd actually called Ernesto, Carolyn and Julia (<3!) to lunch as well.

Dear God, I'm eighteen, and I've just had my first surprise party. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

And on that note, here's something that's been bugging me: is it wrong that I keep mental tallies of gifts my friends have given me, and compare that to things Iv'e given them? As in, "Okay, she gave me a card with $20 in it, but I've paid for her at the movies twice and picked up dinner, so we're even." I know stuff like that shouldn't really matter, but I can't help myself; it's automatic.

I got another free razor in the mail today. Free is good.

I heard the new Green Day song, American Idiot, this morning. The song is a decrying of pop culture and mass media. That's great and all, but Green Day is a top-40 band, and their videos are played on MTV. You guys aren't in the position to play this song anymore....

Tomorrow I'm going to buy manga with birthday money...

My little sister has a myOtaku account now. --; She's "pyroprincess"...so if she bothers you, I'm sorry.

And, finally, in the best (bar none) news of the day, Bandit Joeykuba is back. I was deathly afraid that something bad had happened with her mother, but it turns out everything's okay. Welcome back, BK. ^__^

I have tons of things to do tonight, so I'm gonna' split. As Harry Osborn said, "See ya' in Sweden!"

Thought of the moment: Life is good.

Song of the moment:

"Bouncin' off the Walls", SugarCult

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
Waking up on the bathroom floor
Pull myself back together just to fall once more

And my heart's still beating out of my chest
And this town is still making me sick
And every penny from my last paycheck
I've blown on you

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
So go ahead and take a picture
And hang it up so you can tear me down

I don't care
Cause I'm still here
And I've got nothing left to lose
With all the years I wasted on you

Mommy and Daddy got the best cocaine
Ritalin's never gonna feel the same
Twenty-four hours on an empty brain
I got my finger on the trigger and you're in my way

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again
