All my friends called me on Saturday to wish me a happy 18th birthday. It made me so happy to know that all you CA kids haven't forgotten about me =D. I especially enjoyed the four midnight calls that came one after the other. You guys are all too sweet. I actually wasn't at Haverford this weekend for my birthday because I attended the Growth in Christ conference at the University of Delaware. Somehow, it leaked out that it was my birthday and a whole bunch of random people I had known for only a couple hours sang me happy birthday exactly at midnight on the 19th. It was slightly awkward, but I have to admit it was cute and I enjoyed it. And it's always nice to get random happy birthday wishes and to get treated to dinner. I also got calls from some Haverford-folk...a happy birthday song on my voicemail left by roommate and lots of loud yelling from Joe and Josh.

So, nothing really big happened on my birthday, but I really really really (I mean, HELLA...I'm losing some of my NorCal talk. It's saddening) appreciated all the phone calls. I felt so special =D.

I feel tempted to say that I feel old, since I'm 18 and an adult now...but I feel just as young and spry as ever. It could be because last night I was watching a movie with a bunch of 21-22 yr. old seniors, and apparently to them I'm as young as 15. Or it could be that I'm still the youngest out of all my friends. Well, no matter...now I can partake in legal activities! i.e. buy a cigar, buy porn, go to a strip club, enter a sweepstake, buy a lotto ticket, and go clubbing.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was AMAZING. Of course I went to the midnight showing, and of course I went fully dressed up as Harry Potter. Pictures to come later.

I realized that since I've been at Haverford, I haven't really blogged about my thoughts or anything that matters a lot to me. My entries have been mindless, brainless, and full of pictures. I think the reason is that instead of putting my thoughts into my blog, I talk them out with friends...and I've had such good conversations with my friends (both at Haverford and back home...but especially at Haverford) that I don't have a need to dispense much into my blog. But lately I've been doing a lot of thinking (a little too much at that), and it tends to overcrowd my brain. I also don't always have time to have long, drawn-out conversations with friends about them, and sometimes I don't know how to approach a topic so I don't bring it up at all...so maybe I'll revert back to throwing down incoherent thoughts into this blog just to clear my mind, yeah? We'll see.

Dinner time.
