Back Again, with a Birthday

What?

What's that??

I'm still HERE!??

Gosh.

Wasn't expecting that.

So where was I for the past, oh, month?

Living in res. Doing mad amounts of sudoku? Reading a book a day? Studying for a bio test?

Yes, all of that, but it's not really that important. The only real interesting thing to note, other than the subject of those post is that recently I've been leaving my laptop home during the week which has led to me doing much more reading, drawing, and other nerdy activities which I have, frankly, been appreciating.

But back to the point. October 9th was my birthday. 16. Gosh. In my mind I'm around 14 and a quarter. But apart from that, I had two birthday parties. Yes, two. One for my friends I've had for forever and one for my school friends.

The first one was a bowling and cake low key event with my old friends (gosh that sounds bad--a good old, not a I'm over you old) which was fun, and then a bigger party (12 people) with my school friends. And while the first was more expected, comfortable, and familiar, the second was slightly nerve-wracking and definitely not comfortable at least while I was anticipating it, it was way more fun than I expected. There was no hiding, no escaping, no incredibly awkward moments and dare I say it, I had a ton of fun.

I lay in bed yesterday going through the events and trying to think of something I did wrong to obsess over. But I couldn't even find anything. So I'm going to call it a success. And move on to stressing out about how to deal with how to keep my old friends while not shutting down making new ones. More on that later, perhaps. But I just thought I might let those of you who are still reading know where I'm at.
