Tig.

This isn't exactly the Sweet Sixteen I expected. Not that it was bad (except that my Happy Meals weren't Neopet Happy Meals like they were supposed to be [today is the last day for those Neopet Happy Meals]. The bastards gave us Legos -laughs-), but...it just wasn't like I pictured. I'm not the person I thought I would be when I was sixteen. Not that that's a bad thing, but just...it's strange. I wish I had a lot of really good friends, you know? It feels like only three people in this whole world know it's my birthday and that bothers me. I don't know why. I'm not complaining, just stating the way I feel.

The guilt money wasn't much. Mom suspects it's because Grandma's sick and he's saving up money for a visit down there. I hope Grandma's gonna be okay. Linda says she's acting strangely. I hope she doesn't die. Not only do I not wanna have to face a funeral with father dearest, I don't...I just don't want her to die. She's my grandma, you know? Both of my grandpa's died...and...I don't wanna lose another grandparent. I just don't. I mean...it's not like we're really close or anything...but I love her...a lot...and it would...break so many people around me...my mom...my aunt...my cousin...my uncle...my dad...I hope she's gonna be all right.

On a brighter note, my birthday did go very well. My cake is beautiful. I love it. I can't bare to cut the picture. It's pathetic. I'm listening to the Queen CD I got...it completely rocks. I like "Killer Queen", "Bicycle Race", and just...any song on the first album. The second one scares me quite a bit, but -shrugs- It's still good. "Killer Queen" was this one song I had been looking for for quite a while, so I'm happy. I got the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" soundtrack. It's coming out in September. Hidalgo and Ella Enchanted are coming out in August. I wish it was sooner. Especially Ella Enchanted. I associate Queen and Ella Enchanted. It's just a habit. I also got a LotR magazine (not an official one, but a LotR themed one) which has pictures o' Merry (picture) and a bitty picture of Faramir. I pouted. My mom actually gave me a present I'd already had -giggles- It was funny. Sarah and I watched first Cry Baby then Charlie's Angels:Full Throttle. Ooh...and I was woken up just to see Usher's "Confessions". -giggles- I was tempted to lick it. I did lick the cover of "Secret Window" -giggle-. I like Joh...Morton -dies giggling- We had corn on the 21st to celebrate the release of "Secret Window". -giggle- So funny.

I liked Jess' present a lot...if not the most. She gave me this one ring that looks like the One Ring and the inscription is...er...around here somewhere...Ahh. Here.

"One ring to show our love
One ring to bind us
One ring to seal our love
And forever to entwine us."

-giggles- Entwine. -giggles- Ent wine. That's so terrible. But it's so sweet. She has one. It fits my ring finger perfectly. Hardy har har. I had to take off my Catechism ring, though. I hope momma's okay...she seemed hurt, but then she played it off. I really don't wanna hurt her feelings. I love mah momma.

I'll list a more...specific list of my birthday presents tomorrow!

Goodbye, dear Sweet Sixteen. I'm glad I turned sixteen (-giggles- and got my driver's license! YAY! It was easy...Veronica was there too) and...I had a good...quiet birthday. Not exactly what I wanted, but it'll do. I can't wait until our Red Lobster dinner. I wish Jess could come...well...I'll just...go now...savour this moment. It still is my birthday, you know. -sighs- I hate the end of this day. -sighs again- Oh well...it does come. And it is here. Only 14 minutes and it's gone. Another 365 days must pass again before I'm another year older. It's like an eternity, but like a second. I must savour it whilst I can.

Well...leaving you on that depressing note...have a good Jamie's birthday. 'Night.
