Smile, it's your birthday!

"A very merry unbirthday to me!" "To who?" "To me!" "Oh you!"
"Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea!"


I had a pretty good birthday, just spent it with my folks. I took a sickie at work, I'm sure they'll work it out but I don't care. I knew I was gonna be on the one ride I hate the absolute most and was gonna be working with the most miserable bastard who works at the park so I though "no thank you!" Not how I wanna spend my birthday! So I just chilled all day at home, and then went out with my parents for a meal this evening.

This is what I got for my birthday. I was really suprised I got anything at all to be honest as I thought I'd had all my presents already:



A fancy mascara (one that vibrates, not sure I like it yet!), coconut body stuff from The Body Shop (I love coconut), mango lip balm from The Body Shop, a Radley leather bound notebook and a big bottle of Tia Maria (the only alcohol I really drink). I also got a gold necklace with a key pendant on (because its my 21st and apparently its tradition to get a key) but that isn't in the picture.



My cake. We started digging into it and then I suddenly thought "crap, I wanted a picture of it!" ><



And this is what I wore to the restaurant. We went to a really nice local Chinese restaurant. The lady who owns it is absolutely lovely, she kinda knows my parents as they go there alot so she came over to chat. My mum told her it was my birthday and she asked how old and when I told her 21 her eyes nearly dropped out. She said she thought I was only 14/15. She was really apologetic and seemed to think she'd offended me but actually she totally made my day! Haha I love people thinking I'm younger! I have an age complex already XD

I felt really lucky today so I entered the lottery. I thought I might aswell especially as the actual draw is tonight, imagine if I won 7.5 million on my 21st birthday! I won £7 on a scratchcard today, my first ever one!

ETA: I forgot to say that tonight was also the first time I managed to use chopsticks! ^^ Major achievement!

Happy Birthday Glitter Graphics



Sounds like you had an amazing birthday and you got some really lovely gifts.

Also, I have to say how pretty your dress is and of course how pretty you are and I agree with the waitress you don't look 21 at all..funny, thing is people tell me I look 14/15 and I get soooo upset because I don't think I look that young (16 maybe but, not 14) so, I kind of have to bite my tongue when people think I'm sooo young..I am sure when I'm about like 40 or 50 and only look 20 I won't mind at all but, right now I honestly wish I could feel good when people say stuff like that like you do. What's the secret behind that?

Good luck with the lottery...I hope you win big! That would be awesome!!!!!! What a way that would be to finish off your birthday!!!! =)

As incredibly lame as this sounds, I think the only reason I'm pleased when people think I'm younger is because its my dream to play Alice and because shes so young I kinda like it being confirmed that I look like I could be her. I know that probably makes little sense and sounds incredibly pathetic haha, but thats me. Otherwise I probably would be offended that I look so young!

And I didn't win the lottery :( haha

I don't think that's a lame reason to want to look young at all. Honestly, I would love to be "friends" with Wendy or Alice and I know besides like being a good singer, dancer, actor being young looking does help if you want a career in the entertainment field. I mean look at how many stars that play in teen-aged movies and shows are like in their late 20s or early 30s and here they are playing high school students. I guess it bothers me the most because I'm always afraid I won't be able to get a boyfriend close to my age due to all guys thinking I'm sooo young. I know that's a lame reason especially since I get basically flirted with by guys all the time but, it's part of my reasoning. I'm weird...yes, I know this. Like I need a boyfriend now anyhow..being single rocks too! ;)

Awwww, I'm sorry..that totally sucks!

Yay Chopsticks! They can be tricky little fellers.. lol. HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY! <33 Your little pressies are scrumptious to look at, likewise the cake.

The pendant sounds really cute. I've heard abit about the key tradition, my mum had a birthday card the shape of a key for hers.. wonder what I'll be getting next year ^__^.

So glad you got off work at the theme park too, so you could relax and enjoy your day!

Your dress is absolutely gorgeous! I fail at using chopsticks... seriously I don't know why I can't do it. I succeeded once, a long time ago. So of course I've forgotten how I did it by now.
