Twenty three

So my birthday's come and gone. Got the mobile phone I so didn't hint for.. no I did not!! It's strange how the addition of just one digit can make you feel so much older. I feel I can't get away with as much as I could before because I can't just smile and act naive to get away with stuff. If I did that now people would think I was retarded. I've also started thinking things through before taking action and i often speak to myself (please tell me everybody does that), self motivating and analysing how far I've come and wondering what's to come. I've reached that point in life where you're almost out of education (finally) and life is a bit daunting because everything is going to change. Will I get a job? Will I get married and when and who to? When will I move out and where to? Will I handle the responsibility and independence? That scares me a lot because I've never been away from home. I've started making some minor changes though, subconsciously. Like wearing matching socks all week and buying proper newspapers, not tabloids or magazines. I guess I'm well and truly an adult now, I'm all growed up now!

Short straw!

Why do I always end up sitting next to the beggar/ drunk/ smelly person on the bus? All the time! Or the person with a loud mp3 player or the person chewing like a cow! I could just s-c-r-eaammmm!! On the way to some training I went to this afternoon there was a man behind me smelling of a brewery! And on my way back there was some guy in front of me that had that smell of homeless people! Nothing against homeless people who sleep rough though... unless they are sat in front of me on the bus shaking off their dandruff onto my lap!! aaarrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I reckon these are signs that I should get my license now. It's so about time! My tolerance levels are wearing thin and next time someone annoys me on the bus I'm afraid I might just harm them due to diminished responsibility!

22 March

My birthday is coming up soon, on the 22nd of March. I won't tell people though because I'm not one of those people who goes on about it way in advance just to get loads of presents. My mobile is playing up anyway so I can't ring or text people to let them know. It sucks because everytime I text the screen freezes and it does that when I call too.

Anyway back to my birthday, yeah I'm not one to campaign for presents. I've got my own count down strategy this time round. I am doing sit ups and exercising to tone up and look good when i go out for my birthday. A lateral thigh trainer would probably speed up the process though coz I'm having to be creative to devise exercises of my own. But I digress.

So yeah my birthday is coming up soon. Something to be excited about. I'm starting to panic about my age though. I think birthdays are celebrated to make people feel better about getting old and presents are bribes to cheer people up. Fair enough I guess. But yeah, I'll be keeping my birthday very quiet.
