boring birthday things that I want to write because I can
a post
- woke up in a cripplingly dull mood carried over from the night before
- ate cheerios (a highlight)
- opened my presents, which included two records I’d asked for, a hairdryer and straighteners that I didn’t ask for (but I suppose are useful things), fancy notepaper, a handbag and money
- meh
- decided I wanted to mark the occasion with a specially chosen song
- couldn’t think of anything with a reason or real significance
- settle on Where’s Captain Kirk for reasons unknown (just too lazy to continue thinking about it)
- open up laptop with the intention of alerting tumblr to my birthday and listening to song
- great aunt phones
- “hi great aunt”
- “thanks”
- “yeah”
- “yeah”
- “ye-…uh-huh”
- …
- …

- decide that even though my 16th did not live up to the hype that surrounded it, that I don’t have my Jake Ryan and nobody (including me) seems to care that I’m another year older, it’s been a nice day
- go to change age in tumblr bio
- it already says I’m 16
