Distracted by shiny things

Hello, thank you all for the birthday wishes, my day was sort of quiet but nice nonetheless. No crazy drunken antics this time, I suppose I should act mature now, no longer do I have the excuse of being 18! :D I am only kidding of course, not thinking about being 20 next year, because it is a scary age, my mum married when she was 20, not that I will but still.

There was cake and presents and I might be going out today again but I am not sure yet.

I feel odd recounting about my birthday and being cheerful about it when most of the posts on my flist have been full with hurricane Katrina's effects and links to news articles and ways to help. I can't not mention it when so many people have died and continue to do so, and I am thankful for my flist for the information because not living in America makes it much more difficult for me to feel much when hearing the news, it is simply too far away. What all of you have done is bring it much closer and I guess the anger and horror are infectious, you all are in my thoughts.

Going back to happy news, Happy Birthday lazy_daze! Hope you have a wonderful day! :D
