I'm eighteen?! Whoas.

Sooo Xmas eve is my birthday... so being born at 11:23 p.m., Christmas was my first whole day as an adult. x3 It feels so surreal! I mean, I can still pull off being like, fourteen or something. -sigh- Odd, odd.

So what did I do on my birthday? My family came over and we ate a TON of good food. =] And Grandma made a TON of cookies to add to the ones we already made, so we're LOADED. I'm thinking of bringing them out for my party on New Years Eve to try and cut 'em down. x3 Hehe. Anyways, I already knew one of my presents cause, well, I already have it! My cell phone was given to me a month ahead because Mom had to start paying for it right when she bought it. It's so pretty~! Hehe, but I did get other things! Liiike pjs, a Disney Cheshire hat, and a birthday teddy. Theen I got money from my Grandma, money from my cousin, money from a family friend, annnd a homemade froggy blanket from my aunt and family.

We also celebrate some Christmas stuff in the evening part of my birthday. So I got more money from my Grandma, a mixed birthday/Christmas gift of money from my aunt and family, and some random stuff from my uncle. xD Yeah, my uncle Scott came over... who, if ya don't know about him and our feelings toward him, we haven't seen in like a year. I didn't expect any grand present from him, though. He always gives weird presents. He told me some of this stuff was 'vintage' or whatever, so if I didn't end up liking them, I could sell 'em. -shrug- We'll see. x3

Christmas itself was great! Basically we ate more good food, opened presents, and watched a ton of movies! Best present I got was my own Flip Ultra! <33 I've been borrowing NYAH's Mori's camera up until now. Mom even personalized it and put one of my Hani pictures on the front. But I got other things too, like more pjs [I love pjs x3 hehehe], a cool pillow that looks like an iPod [and you can actually plug your iPod into it and play that or even radio!], candy, and another hat. Movie wise, lets see... we watched A Christmas Story the other night, so just on Christmas was a version of A Christmas Carol, our tradition of It's A Wonderful Life, The Muppets Christmas [or something], How The Grinch Stole Christmas [Jim Carey], Rudolph, annnd The Santa Claus. <33 It was nice! Lots of relaxing.

At the end of the night, I was in tears... x3 Dad and I were hugging and stuff, and he was talking to me about how he couldn't believe I was eighteen now... And that he's so proud of me and such. One of the things I always tried striving for in my life was keeping Dad proud. To know I accomplished it was a wonderful feeling. There were other things brought up, but yeah, in the end, I burst into tears. Honestly, I don't know if I'm ready to hit the adult world. It seems so alien... but I have no choice. I need to accept it eventually. I guess it'll just take some getting used to.

But like Dad said, I AM still a 'teen'. xD EighTEEN! Then next year is nineTEEN! xD So I guess I'm not too bad off yet. <33

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! ^-^
