Turning 16 soon,

Maybe to you it was....

 

Fuck yeah it was.

 

it's gonna be a great year if you let it.

and Cate, 20s have been good and will only get better I think.

 

I wanna be 50. I think 50s will be good.

 

Why didn't you enjoy 16 and why aren't you looking forward to twenties?

 

I dont even remeber 16. If it was any good, I'd remeber.
I wanna be 50 cause I expect I'll achieve everything I want till then and then I get to rest, travel, etc.

 

Same here , But I better be done by the early 40s

 

yeah...thats even better.

 

:huh:

Better watch this lil vid: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4

 

Hahaha...that was great.
But it kinda made me sad.

 

Why did it make you sad?

 

Cause they made it sound like it was a wasted life.

 

the point is that you live now, and not in the future, because the future simply doesn't exist...now is all there is.

 

Yeah, yeah....I know all that.

 

I was pretty psyched when I turned 16-I could finally drive and have that freedom of having a car...but when it comes down to it...it's just another year. Even tho I have the best birthday EVER! haha

 

when i was turning 16 i got shipped to illinois for a month to stay at my grandparents farm. i got to take my 5 year old sister. that was fun. 15 year old girl dragging a 5 year old girl through LAX, Phoenix and O'Hare to be met by an uncle she's never seen or even heard of before to be driven through chicago, then to a farm in windsor, illinois. my only cousin within walking distance was a 10 year old girl named sarah who had MS and was sufficiently cranky to drive anyone nuts.

no one knew i had a birthday.

it was WAY worse than 16 candles. my boyfriend had just dumped me.

 

oh wow, why did they just ship you off on your birthday?? that's kinda crappy.

 

my grandpa had just had another stroke and was stuck in a wheelchair. they didn't know how much longer he had and they wanted me to spend time with him. he was such a crotchety, argumentative ol' bastard that we fought most of the time. my greatest joy was hiding the remote from him after putting it on The Joy of Painting then leaving. i'd sometimes give it to the dog, mindy, to go stuff in The Rat Log out in the orchard. i had to stick something in her mouth to keep her from biting our faces off.

 

that sounds fun. i can only hope my birthday isn't quite as wonderful as yours was. no offense.

 

I was on the road for my 16th birthday...I had run away from the Plantation House in St. Petersburg, FL and was on my way to California by way of my thumb.
