BIRTHDAY FUN

CRIED BY: COURTNEY

you know how there are those people that don’t like birthdays; they never tell people it’s their birthday, they don’t think its a big deal… well i am not one of those people. i LOVE birthdays, especially mine. i think we should celebrate the fact that we are alive and have survived one more year. that’s why every year, i throw myself a big party.

This year however, i did not throw myself a party. This is slightly ironic because i’ve celebrated every other insignificant birthday, except for the “big milestones.” i had a party on my 15th birthday. but i didn’t do anything on my 16th. i guess getting my license was enough. then every year following i had a party: my 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th. then again my 21st rolls around, which is a HUGE one and again no party.

this year i had many small celebrations…

first i celebrated with my family in portland.

my first drink! toasting with the woman who made me happen: HANS!

out in seattle!

kareoke.

then when i came home my best friend came from SF to celebrate in LA with me!

loves it..

POST-TRAVEL

CRIED BY: COURTNEY

i think im experiencing post-travel depression, or something along those lines.

i have no motivation to do anything… at all.

i dont want to work. i dont want to go to school..

which is bizarre.

i normally love school, i love working, i love working hard, i love the challenge.

now im feeling lazy.

this isnt like me.

on the flip side. next week i will be celebrating my sweet six… twenty-first birthday.

maybe that will pull me out of my funk.
