Today is my birthday!

and the 49th blog post. Stupid blog, why couldn't you be the 50th blog post? *kicks*

Anyway, today is my birthday and at the moment I am incredibly happy and therefore hyper and so this blog may not make much sense. I woke up around midday (this is why I should not stay up talking to you Livvi about crazy shit!) and stumbled out of bed. I had breakfast at around the time I should have had lunch, and opened a card from my family (my Mum and siblings are off on some Christian camp thing so they weren't here to celebrate. and Dad was at work). I then went to the door and collected the post. My presents hadn't arrived yet but I got some birthday cards from other members of my family, which made me smile and get really happy. I then did some French revision but got totally distracted by Facebook. Today I have recieved about 20 messages from various people which made me smile and get even happier. I don't think I've ever been so happy/appreciative on my birthday for some odd reason. My CDs didn't arrive though.

In the evening I went to the cinema and saw 'Let The Right One In', which was fairly good, and I actually enjoyed it considering I dislike romance movies. But it isn't all romance, since it involves a young girl vampire (Eli) (this movie is nothing like Twilight, it was wayyyy better) befriending a boy (Oskar) who gets beaten up by bullies. Eli has to kill people to stay alive (obvs) and it is basically about her life and the relationship with Oskar. and it's Swedish, so lots of lovely subtitles to read. The cinematography was good as well.

After the cinema I went to a Japanese restaurant that had a conveyor belt. It was made of win. I didn't really have a clue what Japanese food tasted like, as previously I had only tried some sushi and some gyozas. Off the conveyor belt I had some sushi-type stuff for starters. I then ordered teriyaki duck for a main course (it was delicious) and then stole some chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup off the conveyor belt. In all it was a very good meal. I then bought some Pockys (for men. That's the dark chocolate kind if you're wondering) which are nice.

In all it has been a very good and happy day and I am looking forward to Saturday and my party. Bowling and Labyrinth (hopefully)! *excited*

Yesterday it was my birthday party. We headed out of the house at around 3:15 and got to our destination a little later. We went to the cinema, but there wasn't much I waned to see, so we went and saw Three And Out, which was alright. Afterwards we headed to Nando's, only to discover it was packed. Instead we went to Miso Noodle Bar which is really quite cool. I had rice with beef, chicken, prawns, veg and a sauce. It was really nice. That night we stayed up watching Naruto, The X-Files (which scared Zoe :P), Doctor Who and Meet The Fockers. The next day we had breakfast and played a few games, one of which was called Clay To Win, which is where there are two teams and a sculptor in each team, and the sculptor has to sculpt something out of play-dough and the other person has to guess. It was a really fun party ^^ I got a Cult album and a HMV giftcard, which I will probably spend on Soundgarden.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today I listened to AC/DC's Back In Black, which I had already heard in full before, thanks to Planet Rock. I also listened to half of The Cult's Love (I only listened to half since by the time I had listened to that it was 10 and I needed to come on here, post my blog & go to bed) but it's a good album so far, great vocals, great guitar.

It's my birthday today too but I only got presents from my sister which were a white owl statuette and a money box, so now I have three money boxes :P. I'm getting a new watch since my current one I've had since year 2 :P. I love doing the :P face today for some reason :P.

I am actually quite proud of myself. I have (almost) learnt to play 'On Top Of Old Smokey' on the guitar. And I was reading tab, which I have never done before. I'm so happy. :)

We had a french test today which was bleurgh. In art, I managed to get nothing done because the fabric I was using just got stuck to the table and then our teacher told me it was not good to use that material as it was like a mesh. It really annoyed me, plus the fact we didn't get another lesson for batik.

On a happier note, it's my birthday in 16 days! Woo! A girl in my DT class who I sit on the same table as has the same birthday me, so she's always counting down. I don't know what I want for birthday, maybe a few DVDs? CDs? I want to see Twin Peaks as it's just one of those cult TV shows, but some idiot on the net had to go and post the bloody ending, so I know what happens. I still want to see it though. Speaking of TV, I need to go and watch some more X Files.
