So, yes, today is my birthday and has been since it was midnight this...er...morning. Apologies for not replying to the messages some of you have left, I've been a bit lazy as of late. I haven't deleted them yet, and won't until I at least look at them. I'll see what I can do about that later. =3

Anyways, today was fairly uneventful. I haven't gotten many presents at all, but I have money, so all's fine. I had school, my little sister and a friend of her's "attacked" my locker with papers saying 'happy birthday' and 'happy sweet 16!' and such. I got cake and a giant cookie. I ♥ giant cookies. I've also got another Nightwish CD thanks to one of my best friends. ^^ I've also got flowers, thanks to one of my aunts and uncles on my mom's side. I had school today (le grrr...), and I went over to my dojang (Taekwondo school) today to work on nunchakus with Courtney, not that we did anything, mind you... But, it turns out that not only do Milo-sensei and I share a birthday today, but an almost black belt at my school, Mike, also shares my birthday. I already knew it, but this fully confirmed it.

Sam, a guy who I *ahem* have a big crush on who also goes to my dojang, wished me a happy birthday. ^^ Well, twice, really. The first time he waved like usual and said, 'happy birthday!' the second time, not half a minute later, as he was walking away, he turned around and gave me a look over his shoulder that has made me melt for the rest of the night and said, 'happy birthday again!' ♥_♥ Bwaaaa...I mean, this guy is not the average shallow, cocky, jock, etc. that you find everywhere else. He's a Christian, a Republican (yes, politics do matter to me in a relationship...), very respectful, loyal, has an awesome sense of humor, yet knows when it's a good time to be serious, he's quiet-ish (like yours truly is irl), and on top of all of that he's really pretty cute. It looks like he's starting to grow his hair back out again, at least a little bit. Now, mind you, all of the Buescher boys are flipping hot. Even Luke, the youngest, who can't be more than 13. But, there's something different about Sam that I like. I mean, they all have similar characteristics, but when you look into the eyes of each of them, you can tell that although they are brothers, they aren't each other. Now, chances of him liking me back are slim to none, and I've been burned enough times by boys knowing that I like them, either by me telling them or by a 'friend' flipping spilling everything, so I'm not planning on telling him my feelings face-to-face unless either he or I go to college out of state. I'm planning on going to PPCC for about a year or two (maybe) then going to Hillsdale in Michigan, then hopefully going on down to USYD in Australia, even if but for a semester. But, yeah... I could put my rant up here about what I like about him, but I don't think I'll do that. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that's all for now, and I've gotta work on my Lit before I get skinned alive tomorrow. -.-;;
