I need to get through this month.
I’ll be okay if I can get through this month.
I promise.
I hope.
Go ahead & invite yourself. Thanks.

Dear future guy-thing,
On my birthday you are obligated to provide this, including a very obnoxious tiara. Mother’s Day and all that other bullshit, it’s optional, but on my birthday I don’t care if I’m 75, I expect nothing less.
Love,
You future woman-thing.
I will celebrate your birthday with you for as long as you’d like to call it your birthday, as long as you do the same for me.
The Starting Line - “21”
Hearing this song reminded me that I never made a playlist for myself to celebrate my birthday. Oh well.
My friends like me.
I have to say this and be reassured of this constantly, but my birthday made me realize I picked the right people to consider my closest friends.

SO THIS ONE TIME, I TURNED 21…
And celebrated for 11 days. Made a quick trip to Delaware, went to Disney World, came home threw a party in Baltimore, went to a free show then threw a huge party in Philly, and then went to Brooklyn to see The Hold Steady, followed by Hooters wings, and a dance party to Girl Talk.
During all of this I kissed a boy I barely knew, took a free limo ride in Time Square, got Alladin’s number, bought $100 worth of alcohol that I didn’t drink, played Apples to Apples and Guess Who, and overall had THE most amazing birthday ever. I didn’t think this could beat Who’s Driving, but it did.
I’ve said it over and over, I want to thank every single person who came and hung out with me, wished me happy birthday, or that I even saw over the passed 11 days. You’re all amazing. I have the best friends ever.
Oh and Philadelphia, I fucking love you! I don’t care at all about my lack of friends in Baltimore when I know that I can throw a party and 75 people will come in Philly! <3
