051808 - If you were born everyday, everyday would be your birthday

I am officially not a teenager. I am twenty.
gross.

So I woke up and, like every year since the year I was born, the house was plastered in signs that gave away what special day it was: my birthday. Open the fridge, Happy Birthday! Turn on the computer, Happy Birthday! Watch Television, Happy Birthday! Take a shit, You're 20!

I spent the entire day with the family. It was highly entertaining. My sister asked me to drive her to the library, so I compliantly did as she asked. Then we decided just to go for some random driving, as always, it was an adventure. We didn't get lost this time. I cannot lie, almost. Almost. I surprisingly recognized a street. Never happens, but miracles happen I suppose on one's birthday.

We also did the traditional birthday dinner. The birthday song at the end with the free cake is arguably the best part, unless it's your birthday.

Parents and I are driving back to Cincinnati tomorrow .. er, later today. I'm excited. I'm not so sure they are.

And their birthday present to me: oh, surprise, you don't get your car for at least another week, or until we can get the car inspected, the oil changed and the breaks checked because they are making awkward squeaking noises. My car is a year old, I don't understand how such noises present themselves.

I think I'm more excited about moving into the house on the 31. Woo!

So when I turned 16 I made a list of all the things I wanted to do before I turned 20. Well, that didn't work out so well so I'm going to make a list of things to do before I turn 21. The following is a list of so said things to do before 21, in no particular order.
