Only 1 more day until I turn 18! YAY!!!!!! Where's the streamers and balloons and stuff?

Lolz, the "Happy Birthday" balloon is way in the back, but oh well:P. Now here's an unusual question some of you may not have thought about: As far as celebrities go, who shares their birthday with me on the 20th? Well, let's check and find out!

Al Roker (the guy on the Today show:D)

Joan Allen

KRS-One8)

Fred Durst:|

And those are basically the only people I recognized from this list off of imdb.com. Check it yourself if you want. Hell, change the date to your birthday and see who has the same birthday you do. It's pretty cool to look up.

So, as you may have guessed, if it's my 18th birthday, my past weekend HAD to have been worthwhile, right? Well, pretty much. It was long, due to me waking up at 7 in the morning for a change during the past three days. Here's how it all went down..........

FRIDAY

Friday was the day that the town fair started to begin. The day before, I already made arrangements to meet a couple of my friends down there (lets refer to them as AM and KA from here on out because it is easier for me, who are both in band BTW), so I was anticipated to be there. So, after cutting grass for the first time in weeks due to minimal rainfall, I gave AM a call to see where she was at, since she said she performed in her school band for the opening ceremony. Finally, finding a parking spot 15 minutes later, due to the crowds of people, I met her and her friend at the arts and crafts tent. We hung out for a little while, and I even got the courage to try some TNT salsa dip for a free sample (it's funny how I'll try to do that just to be cool:P ). Then that girl that was with AM had to leave with her aunt, and then I called up KA. After AM and I tried really hard to convince her to come down, she finally agreed to meet us at the library. It was a long walk, but it was worthwhile. We bumped into some familiar faces on our way there, too, and they joined our party. Finally, when KA joined us, we headed back to the general area where the fair was being held, and we all hung out for about 3 hours. That's probably the longest time I've hung out with friends outside of school since..................2 years ago:shock:. But it was worthwhile, even though they saw a bunch of band people here and there that I didn't know, and you know how awkward it is when you are hanging with a group of people, and you bump into someone that THEY know, but you don't. But I ran into some people I knew here and there, so it was all good. So, at around 5, KA had to leave, and by that time, it was just me and AM, hanging out with each other for about an hour. I bought both of us some gyros, which were delicious. At around 6, my feet were too sore to keep on walking around town, so I bid farewell to AM, and I headed for home. Saturday would be another delightful day on my birthday weekend.

SATURDAY

Saturday rolled around, and this was the day that I got my usual $100+ shopping money from my dad, so we headed out and I spent a LOT more than I thought. First, at Best Buy, I made these sweet purchases:

Once Upon A Time In The West DVD--$6.99 (Never seen this movie before, but since I'm getting into Westerns, it's on the top 250 on imdb.com, and it was $7, why not? )

Clerks 3-disk Special Edition DVD--$19.99 (the cheapest I've ever seen it, excluding online stores)

And finally, a purchase I wasn't planning on making on a music CD, but couldn't help it, because I've been becoming addicted to their songs by watching music videos on YouTube:

Daft Punk "Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005" CD--$12.99 (One More Time is my ish8). Too bad some songs were edited in length, though:evil:. )

Then, of course, I had to hit a couple of Gamestops to get some sweet ass games. Fortunately, I didn't buy crap like last year (*cough* Siren *cough*). In fact, 3 out of these 4 games are uncommon to find IMO, but at the price I found them, I couldn't resist. Here's all the games:

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey on Xbox used--$17.99

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth on Xbox used--$17.99

Painkiller: Hell Wars on Xbox used--$12.99

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne for Xbox new--$1.99:D (And I already beat it:P.)

Finally, I payed a visit to an F.Y.E. inside a mall. This is the kind of store in which you could either find awesome deals or find outrageous prices. Well, I stayed away from becoming ripped off, and I bought a couple movies for good prices. They are:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 2-disk Special Edition used--$14.99

Go new--$4.99

*whew* I'm surprised I still have money left to buy Metroid Prime 3: Corruption when it comes out. Heh, like I really need it:roll:. There's too many damned games I still have yet to beat! Luckily, I just beat Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Talk about one short game! It must've taken me about 6 hours! It was worth the $2, though, since the action was awesome, and so was the story-telling, even if I couldn't make sense out of it at times. Plus, unlike the first game, I actually made it to the end of this one. Wish I still had the first one, though, instead of trading it in:cry:. I also tried out Painkiller: Hell Wars last night, expecting something similar to Doom. I just wasn't impressed by the time I beat 2 of the levels, though. Something is just.........missing. Oh well, what did today AKA Sunday have in store for me?

SUNDAY

Today wasn't really that exciting to tell you the truth. It was nasty outside, raining all day, as I basically played my way to the end of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. My mom made me a special lunch, as well as taking me out to this restaurant I haven't been to in awhile along this lake. She also got me two gifts, which were a seat belt shoulder pad and a nice picture frame with one of my new senior pictures inside of it. Nothing special, but it's the thought that counts. I also watched a couple of movies that I was planning on avoiding, but I watched them anyways, since my dad insisted it:roll:. I'll get to that in a future blog post, since I don't feel like reviews.

*sigh* So, tomorrow is the big day. The day when I officially turn into a man, an 18 year old man. An 18 year old who can buy cigarettes legally. An 18 year old who can enter adult stores legally. An 18 year old who has to steer clear of girls under that age until they become my age. An 18 year old who..............is not ready to turn 18:cry:. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!????? WHY DOES MY CHILDHOOD HAVE TO END SO FAST!!!!!?????

*Jeff Goldblum appears*

"Snap out of it! I was 18 once before, too. But hey, look how I turned out? Perfectly fine! And I have a way with the ladies, too."

Go to hell. Anyways, I WAS looking forward to going to see Superbad tomorrow with AM and KA, but I got a phone call today saying they were busy and had to wait until Wednesday to see it with me, so oh well. I just don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. Maybe there might be a surprise or something waiting for me tomorrow. I have no clue. Anyways, To Be Continued onto another blog post coming later in the week, featuring movie reviews and cool stuff like that. Yippie.
