So today is my 17th birthday. I'm really excited to be 17...but I'm gonna be doing a lot of stuff today [hopefully] so I just thought I'd post a bit now and then finish it later, just wanted to let everyone know I didn't forget it just might be around like 7ish central US time.


Just for fun:
Things you can do in Missouri once you turn 17...
1. See R rated movies [eh...haha..uhm...err]
2. Have sex. [yay?]
3. Be out whenever you want [except that you can't drive whenever you want until you're 18]
4. Quit school [without parental consent]
5. Move out of your parents' house.
6. Be tried as an adult in court. [yay again?]
7. Work at pet stores. [whhaa?]


Basically I'm an "adult" in Missouri, but there are still a bunch of age restrictions. So basically since I work at a movie theater and already see R rated movies and I don't really have a set curfew as long as my parents know where I am and when I'll be home and I don't really wanna do anything else on that list....this birthday is kind of lame. But 17 sounds so much better than 16 right?
And next year is 18! That's a big one! :DDD yay.



Ps... if you come up with anything else I'm legal to do, lemme know!

This week was insanely hectic, with two three page papers, lots of work, other lengthy homework, and three tests in one day. But thankfully it is over and overall it appears that I had much sucess. My lit teacher loved my wedding paper, and I managed A's on at least two of my tests.

We also had a half day on Friday so people could attend the state volleyball games...but I had to work and they were like...four hours away so I opted not to go.

Soo basically my birthday was pretty good. My friend Kelly and I are now owners of a fake pack of cigarettes so we can go on fake cigarette breaks at work. :DDD I am really excited that Obama won the presidency, and I'm glad people [at least people at my school/work] have stopped being so angry about it. I was actually a little surprised that he won by such a landslide...I think in my state it was almost 50/50.

Nonetheless I cannnot wait to see what he's going to do in office...it feels like something huge should be happening but I realize it's probably going to be a slow change...ugh.

Oh! I met and hugged and got books signed by John and Hank Green.
It was seriously one of the best days of my life.
I drove there with my hilarious/awkward friends Kelly and Myles. It was one of those drives where you're laughing so much you don't need music...
Then we got a decent seat in the middle and I almost had a fangirl moment when they walked in. I got a box of peeps thrown right to me from Hank. It was just kind of great because even though Myles and Kelly aren't exactly "nerdfighters" they still seemed to enjoy it and they were nice enough to wait for me in the huuuuge line to get my books signed. I have yet to upload the pictures but I'll put them up to my facebook later.


Alright well I need to get ready for school [technically I'm cheating and posting this Monday morning...] but I hope everyone's week is swell. <3

Today is awesome because Monday and this weekend were awesome.

I feel...great. :DDD


and sooo mature.
yay 17
