On numbers ending in 9

usullusaToday I am 19. There is nothing all that special about the age 19. You only care because it's just one short year away from the twenty. It's kind of like Connecticut like that. CT's only claim to fame is that it is next to New York City.
I don't feel any different today. In fact I keep on forgetting it's my birthday. Maybe because I'm at college and I just tromp to class and am more or less anonymous, then come back to my room and spend the rest of the day in the joyful company of my roommates while we all pretend that the other doesn't exist. It's a sort of gloomy existence to lead.
On the bright side I was awoken by a call from my mother, had class interrupted by my grandparents, then my cousin, and finally my father called me while I was enjoying lunch. It's good to know others are thinking of you, even when they are far away and they're sort of obligated to love you.
I've had better birthdays, but I'm only having a 19th birthday once so I resolve to make the most of it. Maybe I won't do anything exciting, but I'm going to be happy to be alive today. And I'm going to treat myself to reading a good book.
Oh and a high school friend facebook messaged me last night to wish me happy birthday and ask what I was going to different now that I was 19. I thought about it... I'm going to be more adventurous. This year I'm going to go to a big party and cut loose, try a completely new experience, and with any luck fall in love, even if I'll just get my heart broken. It will have been worth it. I've been living my life in the ivory tower for too long. It's time to live.

Date: 2009-03-14 10:16 pm (UTC)Yeah, It's almost like after a certain point birthdays are sort of redundant. "I'm alive.... yay! ...What's for lunch?"
16 was a bust, 18 nothing happened (still stuck in high school), and I don't drink so that nixes 21. Nothing to look forward to on my end. XD Next up: Midlife Crisis??? D:
