Gained A Level
Found 100 gold.

Pssh. I wish. Seriously, I'd love to see random chests of gold around the city so I can make enough gold to buy swords, armour, and items of power/healing.

But anyway, yes. To the point. Today I have leveled up. And this is more than just reaching my second decade here in this world. It is the day I eat meat again.

For those of you who were out of the loop, I decided to stop eating meat around the months of January to February for personal reasons. To my surprise and to the surprise of those who knew me, I had no problem dropping meat from my diet considering I used to down pho like it was a cup of soup or devour a 32 oz. prime rib of beef just so I could inhale the free dessert at the end.

Now I'm not giving up vegetarianism because I'm weakening. I could easily go on but it's becoming quite an inconvenience. Since I decided to eat meat again on my birthday, the desire to eat innocent dumb animals for my nutrition and satisfaction grew insanely fast. My day has come.

So for those of you thinking I'm having vampire-like urges, you're only partially correct. I'm only planning on eating "typical" meats like animals. Though, I do admit I am curious about how human blood tastes. I think sucking blood is kind of romantic so if anything, I'm gonna save it for someone I truly love.

*laughs* Okay, I'm kidding.



I'm quite happy today. And it's for this reason I want to quickly address those of you who think getting excited for your birthday is only for kids and that there's nothing to be happy about when you're getting older.

It's bullshit. So maybe the reason you're bitter when you get older is because the people around you couldn't care less about your birthday (which is also bullshit especially in such an awesome community like this). Maybe you're not getting neat gifts like you used to. Maybe you're too busy to celebrate such a day. Maybe you think it's just a number.

So what if all that is true? Yes, your birthday is adding to "some number" but y'know what? That's an important number. That number signifies how long you've survived on this insane planet of ours.

For another year, you've NOT been shot by a bullet, you've NOT starved to death because you're living in poverty, you've NOT overdosed on drugs, you've NOT died of an incurable disease.

For another year, you've been kept alive by the love of someone else, be it your family, close friends, a significant other or whatever. For another year, you've breathed the same air shared by billions around the world. For another year, you've enjoyed and made use of five very important senses given to you by nature. You've touched, tasted, smelled, heard and saw everything this life had to offer for another bloody year. For another year, you've felt emotions, good and bad. Emotions that can only be felt by you.

For another year, you've existed. And if you think nobody cares, you couldn't be any more wrong. I'm writing something like this on MY birthday to remind you that when YOURS comes up, that you be happy about it. I want you to be happy because I care about you. For those of you I haven't wished a happy birthday to this year, I’ll say it now. Happy Birthday. Here's to another year. Let's survive this hell together.


I've had quite a nineteenth year. There are three highlights that come to mind. I saw my first 19+ (meaning alcohol) concert, POLYSICS. I made it through yet ANOTHER miserable period in my life. Last but not least, I met TWO MyOers who were both Western Canadians, both shorter than me and both too awesome for words. Thanks, you two.


And thanks to all of you for being such a huge part of my one-nine here. Really. I love you guys.

When I'm eating my noodles (w/ meat) and drinking my tea today, I'll be thinking about all of you. You've definitely made a place in my mind and built mansions in my heart. Thank you, MyO.




Cheers.
