Happy Birthday to me! Today is my eighteenth birthday, which means that I'm officially a legal adult! My birthday present is that I get to go to Chicago with my choir to compete! We'll also be seeing Green Day's American Idiot, going to Medieval Times, and doing plenty of shopping. We leave on Thursday night, and I'm super excited.
Today at school was a bit disappointing. I hate to be such a birthday snob, but only two of my friends at school remembered it was my birthday, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have remembered if I hadn't reminded them yesterday. So that was a bummer. It wouldn't have bothered me so much, except that whenever it's one of my friend's birthdays, I make it a big deal and I'm usually pretty good at making them feel special, and I guess I just expected that in return. Oh, well.
This evening was better, though. My brother paid for a drink at the local coffee shop after school, which was super sweet of him since he normally pretends he doesn't have an older sister. I came home, watched Friends, then we went out to dinner at Red Lobster, where I got the butterflied shrimp and the coconut shrimp! It was so delicious, especially since I'd been craving it for so long. There's also enough left-overs for me to have the same dinner tomorrow night!
Now we're waiting for my ice cream cake from Dairy Queen to thaw. I get it every year; it has vanilla ice cream, crumbled chocolate stuff that I've never been able to identify, and chocolate fudge. I am beyond excited for it.
Here's to hoping that my eighteenth year will be my best year yet!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
