And you smell like one too

"Did you have a good birthday?"
"Yeh it was alrite"
"Alrite?"
"Yeh, it wasn't spectacular or anything"

Birthdays pretty much get, not worse, but more familiar as you get older. It stops being like another Christmas, and becomes just a day when you get a bunch of free stuff and you have to write a new number next to 'Age:'.

If you want a rad birthday you have to work at it. The real 'celebration' is gonna be on Friday. Hanging out with Lily Mae during the day cos we haven't seen each other for ages, or what feels like ages anyway. Then big chinese meal at night with all my friends, and a club afterwards. It'll be cool to see everyone in the same place. Almost never happens nowadays. So I guess by traditional birthday standards, Friday is gonna be my real day.

I did get a cake though. Blew out two candles (the amount of cake coverage gets a bit stupid after you turn 16) and made a wish. No I won't tell you.

Also got a new camera, with video. So expect this page to get slightly more colourful and interesting in the near future.

I'm off to stuff myself with cake and jelly beans.

Peace out
