My birthday (slightly belated)

It was my 21st birthday on Friday (which everyone else made a much bigger deal about than I did, but which I was informed that I should have made a big deal out of), and I had an excellent time (which is weird for me for birthdays).

Anyway, I made out like an absolute bandit - three soccer jerseys (Newcastle United, which I've wanted for a long, long time, Inter Milan, and Juventus), the extended edition of The Bourne Identity, a Made shirt (boo-yeah, can't believe you found that, either!), Poolhall Junkies, a Chapters gift certificate, a Spongebob doll, a wallet, umm....I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of other stuff...

The Newcastle jersey I've wanted ever since I went to England for the first time, about 10 years ago.  The Magpies had just bought Alan Shearer for what was one of the biggest transfers in Premiership history, so he was everywhere, and, not knowing anything about soccer, I decided I liked him (why do you think so many Americans like Beckham?). 

And I've wanted a Made shirt since I started listening to Good Charlotte.

I'm sure everyone will tell you I needed a new wallet, and I definitely have a Spongebob Squarepants problem.  Ha!

So, yeah, I got completely spoiled, so thank you to everyone who got me everything they did and made the day as good as it was!  My parents, and Jen, and Carley, and Ben, and Nancy and all the family who sent me things that it would take way too long to mention.

As I write this, I'm also trying to figure out what to spend my Chapters gift certificate on.  So far, I'm buying a Sunday's Best album, but I've still got about $25 to go, and, unfortunately, I went out and bought two books today, so that kinda defeats the purpose.  I've got an idea, though...

Thank you everybody very much, you all got me far too much and I don't deserve it!  Happy birthday to Mike!
