Coming home from my piano lesson, ipod headphones in ear, crossword book in left hand and pencil in right. I’m seated in the passenger seat, and my dad is seated in the driver’s.
“Yay, I finished a crossword all by myself!”
“Woohoo!”
“My slef-esteem has gained one point…”
“You know… That’s kinda sad how your self-esteem hangs in the completion of a crossword…”
“Shut up.”
So I was given roughly 75$ for my birthday, and I just spent 44$ of it yesterday on a pair of pants and a Hawk Nelson shirt. 
The pants were on clearance at Hot Topic, 15$ instead of 45%. And the shirt was a usual band merch price of 15$.
As you can see… They’re well worth the 40-something dolalrs I spent on them. :love:
I’ve got the whole “blueprints” for my party, and it’s only 2 days away! Ha, I’d like to think it’s worthy enough to be a “My Super Sweet 16,” but it would have to be a “downscale, poor people version.” 
I also know how I’m going to do my cake: a nice chocolate circle cake with pink icing saying “Happy Birthday, Rachel.” It’ll then be surrounded by chocolate dipped strawberries, and then surrounded again with cupcakes alternating in pink and white icing. :reallyblushing: I’m really excited about all of this, but not everyone has RSVP’ed, so I’m just a tad anxious about who’s actually going to come or not. :sweat:
This is the third time I’ve tried to write this post. Thanks to mishappenings with the keyboard and my over all drowsiness an fourty-six IM’versations…
What’s important, though, is that I can finally get this post written and this somewhat half vent off my mind.
It seems as if everytime I really get along with a guy, and we become we really good friends, people seem to take it out of context and contort it into something totally different. It’s happening with Jon, and it’s happening with Josiah. I really can’t stand how people just don’t understand that you can have guy friends without having the notion of a love relationship present. We hang out, we laugh, we get along, and they’re the best friends I have. I go around and say “I don’t care,” but obviously, I do since I’m writing this all out.
Oh yeah…
Happy birthday to me… Happy birthday to me…
Yesterday was my birthday, and it was hectic and stressful to say the least, but overall, it was an amazing day. 
I scored 3 DVDs yesterday: The Producers (the 2006 one), Corpse Bride and The Princess Bride 2 disc special ed. And some cash… Which will most likely go towards my wish list on hot topic and the Hawk Nelson shirt I finally found that I absolutely love.
Next well, I’ll have a sweet 16 party, and I’m excited to see how it’ll come out. There’s actually a dress requirement of having to wear these 3 colors: black, pink and white. I’m so excited to see how everyone will be creative, and I’m really happy of how I get to design all of it. I love how the invitations came out (step one), and I’ve got a small design of how the room will look (step two). Step three is food, and step four would be actually pulling it off altogether. I might have Josiah act as Deejay, and Jack as photographer if they all agree and it works out well.
Even though it’s an invasion of privacy, I’m glad to hear that the guy who plays superman in superman returns isn’t gay… Gives me hope that not all the hot ones like each other.
