Happy Birthday to me.

Another birthday gone and I've felt older then ever. Okay, this is the oldest I've been but maybe you understand what I'm saying. I had a nice quiet birthday. It was not at all what I expected. I owe Jessie tons for spending time with me on my birthday because it turned out everyone else was busy. And I would be lieing if I said no one else wanted to hang out. For some weird reason this year (more than usuall) I expected more on my "special" day. I love that whole idea of everyone going out to the bar with you and celebrating like there is no tomorrow. Well not so much. But the Killers on Friday with Minette was pretty sweet. And a bottle of wine with Jessie on Saturday was a good time. And watching Kung Fu Hustle with my brothers was well worth it (I recommend it). As much as I wanted to go to the bar with everyone, I didn't. Why? Because there is no everyone anymore. And before you get your panties in a twist I'm not even referring to the recent happenings. When I say there is no everyone anymore, I mean that I am at a different point in my life, working and all. I don't have the luxuries of planning my evenings around the night hours. There is no everyone because friends change, better or for worse. But I just know that I couldn't have hung out with all the people I wanted to today. I could have tried but I would have miserably failed for one reason or another. People I thought I would be friends with again made me realize how much we have changed. People I have recently become close to made me realize how much we are different. And people I don't get to see anymore made me realize how time and distance effect life. I had a nice day. A good amount of people that called/texted happy birthday to me today were unexpected. And of course there was some people today I thought I would hear from but haven't. It's just a birthday. For some reason though, being 22 feels different then any other birthday and maybe that's why I expected more. Yes, that's a stupid statement in itself but I think you get what I mean.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday the last couple days. It meant a lot to me. Also spending time with my brothers and Red Lobster was awesome. Thank you to Alex and Jessie for the birthday cakes!
