As no one knows, my birthday was Thursday, and I sang happy birthday to myself all day because my few friends can't even keep a calandar or keep out of court. Amazing.

I'm just here to update what my family was so kind to give. The last prize I opened almost made me cry, litterally.

1) My grandmother sent me a beautiful card with fifty dollars in it as well. I know signing the card had to be hard. She lost her husband July 4th, and I started crying just knowing I'll never see that again, or his smile.

2) My dad made me a sandwhich before school so I could have it it in lunch. Unfortunatly, I puked after lunch because whatever I ate in my Food Science class really disturbed me.

3) Half my family DIDN'T tell the waiter to sing Happy Birthday at the restaurant that I chose, and I didn't have to put up with my niece that day. It was a blessing as well. (Oh, and when we walked out of the restaurant, there was an amazing car parked next to where my dad parked, and it had my name on it. Wasn't mine, but it was hularious!)

4) It made me laugh. The first gift I opened was from my sister. A 2009 farm animal calendar, basically. I love cows, and there was a huge cow right on the box!

5) Monochrome Factor, 3. That was the first thing that I pulled out of my parent's bag. (I just finished reading it last night, too.) I had been sucked into the Monochrome series since the first book came out, and ironically, I was just looking in the manga section of a local book store for a book with different drawing style, hoping I'd pick up something.

6) I pulled out this hugantic box covered with tissue paper for the most part and set it aside. The next thing I found was a small book that my mom had found in a section that said "Required Reading" for school at the book store. She said it was about a dog or something, and the first picture I saw was an inuit dude with a doggy.

7)I went on to my last prize. I spazzed out, almost. A tablet. A Wacom Bamboo 5.8" tablet. I hadn't asked for it, since I figured it'd be too much. It came with PHOTOSHOP, so I get to experiment with that whenever my dad fixes the other computer. (Oh, my dad also bought a new Windows VISTA computer; not for me, but I'm using it right now and it's amazing.... on the surface.)

8) My other grandpa sent me a card. As usual, no thought to it, no insperational words. Just a name, and his new wife's name.

9) One of my dad's brother's families sent me a card, for once. I guess being sixteen is special.

10) Finally, apparently, my grandmother sent me a quarter book. I've been collecting quarters for quite sometime, but never found a map or book to put them in. They're insanely hard to get in, but they deffinatly don't come out so easy, which can be good or bad.
