How has everyones break been? Mine, well, I'll share some of it with you. Not a whole lot happened between school letting out and the 24th. Jess and I went to the wrestling match that first Friday, but it turned into an upset cuz Big Butt didn't wrestle. Tear. Can't remember what I did that first week, just a lot of work was thrown in there. Christmas shoppers...err... So the 24th rolls around....I'm 18! woo hoo..hoo...yea...right. I had to work that day, but it turned out to be a good thing. At least I wasn't at home waiting for phone calls from people to wish me a happy birthday...and none ever came. Oh well...back at work it was so much fun. So Dan pulls me in the back and he is like...ur 18 now and says he has something for me. He gives me a cigarette. Ha, I guess you had to be there. But yea, Frank let us out at 5. It was so great, we weren't offically closed and we were all leaving. So then I was off to my cousin's house in Indiana. So there we were, listening to my aunt talk about how good she has it...ugh...every little thing she said, I wanted to slap her. So we do our Christmas gifts and everyone is happy. I got the Josh Gracin CD (so happy) and also a gift card to Noodles (yum!) Then we sing Happy Birthday to me, eat pie and then watch Marching Band tapes my cousin brought. He goes to Wheaton Warrenville South and is in their marching band. We all had to leave somewhat early cuz my cousins and fam. had to go to Church. It annoyed me cuz at the last minute they threw my birthday gifts at me. Everyone is lucky to have a seperate day for your birthday, trust me. I got a phone call at 11:17 from Jess stating that I am offically 18. Thanks for that! So that was my exciting 18th birthday.

Oh yes...I almost forgot, you know how my job was only until the 24th...well they kept me on! I hope it isn't until the New Year however... >:O

As for Christmas, same old same old...presents. I got a new TV and also a DVD/VCR for my room, and then all those little things. My dad cooked this great meal that I am still stuffed from!

On Tuesday Lola calls me up and we decide to go bowling. I hang out with Jess for awhile, we go to Baker Square and then watched Elf. Then we HAD to leave at four...hmm... So we get to Downers Grove and go to the bowling alley, turn to corner and WOO....there is Lola, Susan, Lauren and Katie. I was happy...and thank you for the bear, Lola! And to Susan for the pretty smelling shower gels. Both the Ernst's for the cupcakes....they were soooo good! And to Lauren for the necklace. We ended up not going bowling but rather walking around DG. It was freezing, but it was fun. We ate and got some ice cream and those cherries....got to love them! Then we went to see The Incredibles. I liked that movie. And the movie theater...I want to go there more often, its so cozy.

Worked Wednesday...and for today....nothing exciting...again...GOOD NIGHT.

Where is the best place to spend your 18th Birthday?

Hmm... I don't know, try Michael's Arts and Crafts Store.

For me, that is just the place I will be. Sucks, huh? I think so.

I ask for the day off, cuz well, hmm it's my birthday, but noo....he has to schedule me.

Ugh. They will probably let me go Friday too, so I shouldn't be too mad. But I am, cuz I have grown close to the people I work with, and don't want to leave them. I can do without assisant managers, but other then that, I will miss it so much.

If anyone wants to wish me a happy birthday, please come in. I work 1 'til close (5).

or else I'll be lonely on my 18th B-day. Which will end up being the case. Hmp.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna runaway?

Do you lock yourself in your room?

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?

Are you sick of feeling so left out?

Are you desperate to find something more?

Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?

Are you sick of everyone around?

With their big fake smiles and stupid lies

While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face

No one ever stabbed you in the back

You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

Never had to work it was always there

You don't know what it's like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Welcome To My Life
