I'm turning seventeen this Friday, September tenth.
Y'know, I've changed so much in the last year and I've made more mistakes than I ever had before.
I persisted and I gave up, I held on and I let go, I laughed uncontrollably and I broke down...
I've recently come to a conclusion that turning seventeen isn't 'a nothing' milestone after all.
I mean, it's after sixteen where you're still that immature little shit that did so much wrong, yet it's before eighteen when you're basically allowed to do everything you're doing when you're seventeen - only, legally.
I initially wrote this following list up on paper with intentions of scanning it, but one of my mates decided to be an idiot and steal it (hence, a lot of things will be missing from this list).
Without further adieu though, here's what so many people seem to be so curious about...
Tuyen's birthday wish list 2010

- Once/Then/Now by Morris Gleitzman

- New guitar
- Mahogany ukulele
- Paramore tickets
- An older sister
- Something-I-can't-post-on-my-blogger
- Much needed loss of fat

I'm sure there's plenty more from each category, but I'm feelin' blue so I'll stop there.
On an unrelated note,
I went to see Tomorrow, When the War Began with some of my girls and, goodness, I loved the film.
I'll leave it at that or else you'll be reading 'til dawn.
I hope you're all feeling a whole freakin' lot better than I am.
Enjoy tomorrow's weather Adelaidians.
I'm sick of the ever changing forecast...Is there anything in this hectic world that's set in stone?
I thought you had Paramore tickets?
ReplyDeleteThis list makes it a tad easier. :P
Ohhh my gosh that movie looks so darn good, I have to watch it soon!!
Hope all will be fine soon xx
well everytime my bday comes i feel a little bit sad thinking how time really flies by and how many things i want to do but can't.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your youth (not that i'm too old, but now i'm supposed to be an adult and behave as one) as long as u can
xxx
Flora,
ReplyDeleteAaaah, I didn't get them yet. But I will -
When Tien gets them :)
And, you have t'see Tomorrow! It was so so so amazing that I wanted to see it again after it finished!
Barbara,
I swear, you are the sweetest thing in the world.
Time is always flying by. You're right.
"Florence and The Machine" omg! I just bought the new album recently. Awesome album. You should've went to the CD sale Myer had. I got 3 John Mayer CD's PLUS the new Florence and the Machine album for just...$40! Heapppppps good. And originally it would've all been about $65?
ReplyDeleteAnd Tuyen, "Much needed loss of fat" pretty sure you don't need to lose any fat! Tell me need to lose fat if you're ever as big as the people on "The Biggest Loser". (No offense to them XD but you get my point). Honestly.
Anyway, enjoy being "illegal" for the next...year and more. :) I feel old being an adult. Haha.
I really didn't feel anything when I turned 18. D: Maybe it's because I don't drink alcohol. Haven't been clubbing either 8D
ReplyDeleteCan I also recommend The Morning Benders? Their sound is really Californian, and a bit Beatles-ish, but they are really good.
