Tiffany's and other extravagances

First, it's my birthday today! I have to go to school (meh), but at least I'm a year older. Wait, that doesn't sound like a good thing... Oh well.

Possibly the more amazing thing than my increase in age would be the present I got from my younger sister. She'd been planning something big, I knew, and something expensive, because she mentioned owing mom and dad a lot of money. But I honestly had no idea until I opened up my present...

...and found a silver necklace from Tiffany's.

I mean, I don't even have that kind of money, and if I did, I wouldn't spend it. My sister definitely doesn't have that kind of money. But the necklace is gorgeous. I'll try to post a picture later, but it's a round silver disk about the size of a quarter hanging on a silver chain. The back's engraved with my initials.

Times like this remind me how much I love my sister. She's easily one of the most giving people in the world -- she gives things to everyone, because she loves to see people happy. And everyone loves her for it; I know I do.

Well, I have to go to school, but I just had to write that down.

I moose my friends...

...and my friends moose me!

I had a good birthday. It seems that everyone got me candy, though Shannon also made me a moose bracelet (moose!) and Tony got me a book (because he knows I always need more of those). I really do have amazing friends and an amazing family.

And, of course, I got lots of hugs. I think that was the best part.

And then tonight I'm going to a banquet because I scored well on this Chemistry test thingy, so I get to spend my birthday dinner with my chem teacher and Jared, who got the same score as me on the Chem test. This should be interesting...

All in all, this looks like one of my first really good birthdays that I can remember. I'd write more, but seeing as this banquet is somewhat formal, I have to go and find things to wear...

And I use elipses a lot...
