I'm officially 17 now. I don't know how I feel about that. I feel... different. Don't know how that's supposed to work since age is only really a number, but still. I know I'm not old but I feel old because 17 is, after all, getting there- although I'm not sure what or where 'there' is. Just... there, if that makes any sense.
It's not that I'm scared- more like... sad because I've been dreading this day for quite some time. I don't know why exactly, I just feel that way. It's inexplicable. The feeling's just there. But I did appreciate my friends' warm wishes today. I'm just glad I didn't receive a lot of attention, and that random classmates (who I don't usually talk to) didn't shout awkward 'happy birthdays' to me. I don't like being in the spotlight because I never know what to say. *Phew* I'm just glad that this day is over and that there's another 365 days before my next birthday... I'll be hitting 18 this time next year.
I'm sure I'll get used to being 17 in time. I have for the last 16 years.
p.s. Thanks to my lovely friends for their presents and warm wishes! I love you all very much, and- not trying to sound cliched here- you make my life a whole lot brighter than you give yourselves credit for :)

Holy shit. Sorry sorry sorry! Happy birthday!!!
I'm a horrible friend.
Many, many happy returns, Lu. I knew it was around now, but had forgotten the exact date. If it's of any interest, the year when I was 17 was probably the most eventful of my life. There were bigger events still to come, but that year probably had the greatest number of significant ones crammed into it. I have very fond meories of being 17.
luce, luce, luce!
happy birthday! :D
it's okay, i'll be catching up to this wow-what-an-unfamiliar-and-seemingly-old number in no time. which is honestly extremely freaky, since what i said in class bout the 28 year old thing is kinda true, right? i mean, just think about it...
:D
that wasn't meant to sound pessimistic or anything... anyhow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and congrats ;)
Happy Birthday to you from Canada!!!
Love Britt
