My mom sure has an interesting birthday. The party, if that's what you want to call it, since all we did was go to my grandmas and eat (good) food and cake, was not that exciting. Her actual birthday is today, but it was celebrated today. As the second wave of attacks hit Afghanistan, my family ate cake. I made a card on the computer, but the color cartridge died out so I had to hand color it. I also sent her an e-mail card; I don't know if she checked her mail yet. One of the presents my mom got was an alarm clock that could wake up the whole city, since it only has one volume setting — deafening. I hope my mom enjoys her birthday, I'll have to see when I get home.
THOUGHTS:
- Proof that I was once a child and am now a man: I consider any time spent with family eating and talking to be one of the most exciting moments of my life. Thankfully we're all still pretty alive and I can continue to enjoy this gift.
- Hrm...as an 8th grader, I didn't know my mom's birthday. Reading this entry, created October 7, means we celebrated the party a day or two before the 7th. Mom's birthday is October 8th. MORE PROOF THAT I WAS ONCE A CHILD AND AM NOW A MAN: I know Mom's birthday.
- HOLY BALLS 8TH GRADER JUXTAPOSING FAMILY BIRTHDAY PARTIES WITH THE START OF THE WAR ON TERROR. I can't believe I did that...I certainly had some idea of what I was doing but I certainly didn't plan on giving myself shivers almost ten years later...wow...
- Remember when e-mail cards were cool? What was the big site...blue...something or other? UPDATE: bluemountain.com. Woooooo!
- Nice use of a semicolon, young Michael! This makes up for last post's mistakes!
- "deafening!" My twisted sense of humor is developing at this age and doesn't really take shape until...senior year of high school during my unexplainable depression? Good for me!
- I end on a run-on sentence...bummer.
- Comment at the end: "I hope that she did too!"
