Well... you guessed it. Today is my birthday today. :o

Yesterday, I went roller skating. And I hadn't done so in YEARS. But damn, was it fun. I remembered everything I loved about the roller rink--the DJ, the wonderful songs (and hell, with the sound quality being friggin' PERFECT, I was able to stand even the songs I hated. XDD) The sucky thing was that Mom fell down and broke a bone, but other than that, she's fine now. :) And we ate doughnuts from Krispy Kreme~! Mmmness~

And shortly after everyone recovered from aching toes and feet, (thank god I didn't get blisters!) Dad drove me so I could watch "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by myself. :3 The Amazing Chocolatier~! Still as magical as it was the first time.

My Dad appeared in the news today. :o If you saw something about the Anti-Smoking-in-Restaurants theme and there's a guy in glasses talking about birth defects and "when you see another smoker, it... makes you want to start again", that was Dad. XD



Gifts and birthday cake came today. ^_^ And god... what a wonderful party. My family bought me black and blue streamers and red balloons. XDD (Me: Shadow colors! :DD) And my sister bought black and blue "to remind us of the trials of the roller skating rink". XDD AND my sister also said:

"And because she likes Shadow."

Me: ...:3333 *eeee!*

My family secretly bought Sonadow colors for me, OMG

And we ate pizza~! And it was delicious. ^-^ And I got to squee about baby penguins (and me reminding Dad it was a good thing I nudged him to keep him awake for "March of the Penguins") and Dad got to fumble with the camera and take our pictures~ And! The cake is beautiful. And! I got to blow out all the candles of my birthday cake this year. :o That hasn't happened in so long! I was tired and out of breath last time, I think... but today, I had so much energy! What did I wish for? Hey, I can't tell you that. ;D

My grandparents called. ^_^ They sent me a card with 25 dollar check, and the Dolans did the same. :3 I want to call my cousin Brianna before bed, it's her birthday too. ^_^ And I hadn't talked to her in so long... the Dolans and I should meet up again.

And my sister gave me a pretty angel card in Spanish. XDD "Happy Birthday! Go translate this!" --Chloe. LMAO! Ooooh, I'm gonna learn soooooo much Spanish this year, she won't be laughing any longer. XDDDD

The decorations consisted of "Incredibles" cups and plates, and my gifts came in a Darth Vader bag with lots of white tissue paper. ^___^ Eeeeee! My parents know how to read my mind. ^-^

And here's what I got so far, other then the checks:

-- "Wario Ware Twisted" (Yay, I can play both THAT and "Touched!" now! ^____^ The "Wario Ware" fangirl is happy)
-- Nintendo DS (PLATINUUUUM~!)
-- "Sonic Gems Collection" (I told you I'd get it for my birthday. :33 Eeee, "Sonic CD"!)

And my parents are leaving CDs to me. XDDD ^-^



And while we're at it, I think I'll share some of my mega favorite songs ever... as in, music I've heard for YEARS and STILL adore. They mean that much to me--no if's, ands, or buts about it. And yes, you've seen a few of them before. XDD
