Birthday Wishes

Dear Jack,
Today has been not too bad of a day. This weekend wasn't too bad of a weekend either. I held a dinner party on Friday. Originally it was going to be Justin L., Caleb B., James S., Kevin C., Dani F., Daniel T., and maybe one or two other friends. Well by the time the night came, it was just Justin L., Caleb B., Kevin C., and I, the others having things pop up unexpectedly. Regardless I found some other people to share the night with, Lewis K., James (from Canada), the Emilys, Richard P., and Lisa H.. I cooked steaks and salad. In all honesty, I did it all out of selfish reasons. I don't expect many to remember my birthday, so if I throw my own party, then people will come and actually celebrate it, although I am unsure they knew what was going on when they were invited. In the past three years, only last year did people do anything, and that was Daniel W. and Caleb B. because it was my 21st birthday. This year's a lot nicer with Justin L. though. Well after dinner, we played games, and then Dani F. and Daniel T. came in. They stayed after the games and we talked, it was pretty nice.

Last night we had another dinner get together, this time adding Audra A. and the Hobbits, their friend Mike, and minus my Justin-friends. We went to Gooney Birds. I felt deengergized after leaving there. I am not sure why, but my energy and enthusiasm seemed to have left me. Justin L. and I came back and watched League of Extraordinary Gentlelment. It wasn't too bad. During the night, Justin L. left the bed for the futon, the room was sweltering.

I wen to church today and was chalice bearer and a lector. It would have been nice if we had a sermon, but Mtr. Joye had us go over our Baptismal Covenants instead. After Church I came back and ate lunch with Justin L., then we took turns playing Civilizations III. I unfortunately fell asleep, and feel really bad. Read an email from Joy R. with neat news about a boy named Zach. Congrats to her, and I hope it goes well.

We had Cantebury Club tonight, and it went well, cept I still haven't seen this leader, Bryant B., for he didn't come. We watched Bruce Almighty. It was surprisingly good. I recommend it. We then discussed it. Oh, and there was free pizza. William O., Paul C., Lana, and Polly S. (Willie's girlfriend), and Jenniefer R.were the students other than myself who attended. We had Domino's pizza... we're still not sure what the truth is on Papa John's and if or if not they are closing, but they were not open to take our order.

Now it comes to it, it's 11PM on the 11th of January. Will anyone other than Justin L. remember it's my birthday tomorrow? I think I've lost faith in anyone doing so. A birthday just becomes another day. My dad sent up some earphones for my piano for my birthday present. They're pretty nice, but huge, even though new.

I sometimes wish that my birthday would be something extraordinary, but in all honesty, it has lost its charm. No one tends to care about those sort of things. Ideally, people would come over and say "hi" or put up flyers... but I guess that's more of a girl thing. Oh well, there I go moping. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
