i need to start eating healthier and be a lot more active. i am not in drum corps anymore!!

happy valentine's day!

ah, the holiday that almost every single person in this country resents. i always try to be there for my friends, but i hate to admit the level of irritation i experience when they rant on and on for a week about how horrible their lives are because they are single. i have friends telling me what they'd do on this "special" day if they had a significant other. but my main frustration comes from these people choosing this particular day to pity themselves. valentine's day does not have to be a couple's holiday. go out and do something fun with friends or family. this day is about love. not about who does and doesn't have a girlfriend or boyfriend. but if you still don't get the point, suck it up and stop bitching. at least you have friends and family who care about you, which not everyone in this world has.

and relating to this topic, i went and watched 'he's just not that into you' with rachel last night. adorable movie! it had even me wishing that i find love in the way that the main character did. the situations the characters are placed in are realistic, so it was way easy to relate. the movie made me look back at myself and wonder if i did any of the ridiculous things those girls did. and i just laughed at myself.

legal!

i am finally 18!! holy shit, i have been waiting for this day for a longgggg time. the feeling is a bit weird though. i'm an adult. that thought is going to take some getting used to. anyways, i am glad that i have friends who remember what today is. i don't really care much for gifts, but they are always a pleasant surprise :]. rachel baked me this cake/cookie thing. tons of chocolate. and tic tacs hahaha. mom and dad got me a white gold and diamond heart shaped necklace. i'd put up a picture, but the camera doesn't do it justice. went out to a huge dinner with mom and dad, and got to eat some of my beautiful (and utterly delicious) birthday cake. this weekend should be loads of fun though. i'm hanging out with rachel and jan in sf tomorrow. it's about time i get some decent shopping done. and take purikura pictures! on sunday rachel, aaron, and i are visiting the cadet corps camp at king's academy. can't wait to see them again :]. then niko is taking me, ::gasp::, webcam shopping after that!! i am so stoked for! i've been wanting one for ages now.

lastly...i decided to treat myself to a little something of my own :]
