Yay Birthday

Saturday was my birthday, but I decided it would be much more fun to celebrate the whole weekend instead of limiting myself to one day. I know that people are supposed to grow out of being obsessed with their birthday, but I think I missed that memo. I spend the whole week thinking and talking about how excited I am that my birthday is coming and then spend the day telling everyone that they have to be nice and let me have my way because it's my birthday. My friends called me the birthday princess. I think there might have been a mocking tone behind that name, but I choose to ignore it. My birthday madness payed off, and it turned out to be the best weekend. Saturday, for the main event, my friends and I had a cocktail party at our apartment and even made everyone dress up. I spent the day doing my sister's hair and make-up for prom and getting myself ready. My amazing friends spent the day decorating our apartment, setting out the food, and assembling our bar. Everything turned out better than we had hoped, and we had an amazing time. On Sunday my parents, sister, and grandparents took me to dinner. The only downfall was sitting in the restaurant while they made fun of me for having a rough morning. Grandpa wants a tally of how many cocktails I actually consumed. Now I can look wistfully back on the pictures, with only minor embarassment, and think about how much I loved my birthday.

Completely Disturbing

I'm sure other people have heard about Aliza Shvarts, but I find her "art" to be extremely disturbing and wrong. I don't care how liberal you are, repeatedly artificially insemenating yourself so you can induce miscarriages and film it is messed up. She even kept the blood for part of her display. What do you guys think? I'm all for a woman's right to choose how to use her body and what happens to it, but this seems excessive.

I Like Turtles

My roommate showed me this video, and I find this child extremely frightening. I don't know if it's the face paint or if he's just a really creepy kid.

And the Countdown Begins

I just realized that there are only 5 more weeks of classes!!!! I'm sure everyone agrees when I say that I can't wait for the semester to be over. Pretty soon I'm going to progress to the daily countdown instead of weekly. Unfortunately the semester ending means that I have to find a job for this summer. I have a horrible feeling that I'll be back at the Walgreen's Distribution Center packing totes. I start at 5:30 in the morning, and it's painfully boring. The only good thing is that it pays well. At least it's better than working in the corn field. Believe me, I know. Does everybody else have summer jobs?
