Well then.
Just like that my birthday has come and gone. While I don't really celebrate or even put much focus on it at all, it still feels a little sad for the day to have gone, hah. Doesn't make sense, does it?
Truth be told, and I don't know why this is the case, I have never felt the need (or even want) to celebrate my birthday. I tend to find it embarrassing, people fussing over me. All I really ask for every 28th March is for friends to acknowledge the fact and wish me a happy birthday. Doesn't have to be in any elaborate manner either; a simple sms would more than suffice.
I see no need for presents or cake. Honestly, the best present (if you INSIST on giving me one) would either be money or a free meal or something like that. Basically, something money-related. Not that I'm money-minded or anything, but it just seems the most practical to me. Helps me save, you know? Besides, most of the material things I want, I can get them myself. I don't spend much on a day-to-day basis, so occasionally splurging on some more expensive stuff (video games, a few books, etc) is well within my means. Therefore, it's just about impossible to get me something I really want if you were to buy me a gift.
Well, I'm 18 now. Qualifies me for M18 movies and videogames, as if I haven't already had my fair share of those, haha.
It's a nice number, 18. As I've said before, 18's one of those landmark ages. That alone makes this birthday that little bit more special, I guess (even if my birthdays are incredibly ordinary affairs). Pretty much opens me to anything now. 21's the next landmark, but that seems ages away, what with two more years of poly plus NS between now and then.
18. Hope I have another good 12 months ahead of me. The last 12 were quite satisfactory, even if there were some huge hurdles, obstacles and irritants along the way.
