So today I am celebrating the 1st Anniversary of my 19th birthday!!!

Hahaha, ok ok, so I'm 20... but who's counting anyways!

20 is pretty scary though! I mean, think about it, twenty... TWENTY!
Last I checked, that wasn't Nineteen... and, it didn't even end in TEEN at all!!!

Oh no! I'm not a teen anymore?

I am sure I could be fine with it if it were twenty-teen or something... but it isn't.

A good good friend of mine told me last night that 20 is the age where you choose to act 10 years closer to 10, or 10 years closer to 30... I choose 10!

I don't want to grow up!

On the same note, but darker tone, my parents told me last night "We know you want to go out with your friends and have a good time, but keep in mind your an adult now, your time for LIVING is OVER!"

Wow.

Is it? I sure hope not.

I asked my mom if she would want to still be 19. She said nothing could ever let her even think she was 19 because she feels a hell of a lot like 50.

I thought that wasn't supposed to happen! I thought you were supposed to get older, but always feel like this youthful little creature that you are inside! I know I don't feel a day over... well, 20, but I am assuming that 20 probably doesn't feel much different from 19... and in reality, I am not even a day over 20 anyways!

So, to say the least, acting your age, and feeling that you are the age you really are is a little depressing... I choose to not live by that... just as I choose not to clean my room today even though my mom yelled at me to do it!

Ok ok, so maybe in the end all I have really learned is that my mom really is just a buzz kill.... I mean, clean by room on my birthday?!?!? She must be nuts! I'd rather write a journal on dA while I sit here wearing my birthday suit!! (Yes, I am serious about that one... hahahhaa)

Have a good day everyone! I know I will... even if I have to work. (Hey, maybe people will tip me more at the restaurant because it is my birthday! I can only hope!)
