Happy Birthday to Me :)

so today my family took me out early for my birthday cause my friend caroline is kidnapping me tomorrow and we're going to hang out at her house and then have my family and her family hang out for dinner. it will be really nice :) so tonight my family took me to see pirates of the caribean! EEEEP!!!! it was freakin AAAWWWWEEEESSSOOOMMMEE!!! i want to be a pirate :-D then they took me out to eat shrimp at Joe's Crab Shack. mmmm... i love shrimp. then the waitress proceeded to embarrass me by making me stand on the table while everyone sang happy birthday to me hahahaha... i'll post pictures as soon as i get them off my mom's camera. but in return i got a huge slice of chocolate cake...mmmmm...chocolate......... it was a good night. i had a lot of fun... we all sat and laughed and i took silly pictures of myself cause i find it to be highly amusing. it was a gorgious night... i wish everyday of the year was like today.
so i'm no longer a "child." it's really kind of sad! i didn't really think about all this. i'm technically an adult... i have to sign things and go to court if i get in trouble and go to real peoples jail and i can buy cigarettes and i can vote... and the weirdest part... i can do basically whatever i want and my parents can't stop me... not like there's anything i'd want to do that they won't let me, but it's like i can legally rebel against my parents and they couldn't stop me! hahaha... man... i remember writing so many journal entries thinking "if i was only 18..." but it's like, now that i am... it's not all that stupendous. it's just another year... i mean i do feel older, i just don't see what the big deal is and i can't remember what i wanted so badly then that i would need to be 18 for. i'm in a very contemplative mood at the moment... i think i'll go to bed now...
