So today I am 18. An adult. No longer a child. Should've been a massive milestone worth celebrating but it was like any average day. It so happens that my birthday is right in the middle of HSC - the day before maths exams for most people. So a party was definitely a no go. So I listened to Foster the People and Cut Copy (Alexander Skarsgard went to their concert. Cut Copy is Australian. This somehow made me happy. Just marry me now, ok?) and had a party by myself.
And then I went to a wedding. Any wedding held at Cabramatta immediately raises alarms for me. This restaurant was especially dodgey as we were greeted by fishy, trash smells. Oh Cabra. The actual reception was quite lovely. The bride and groom were totally in love - you could just tell. There were heaps of old Russian-Chinese men, some which resembled Sean Penn. There was also a gay couple that danced on chairs which was quite amusing.
So yeah, my "special day" was spent celebrating the bride and groom's. The only thing that made my day were the copious amounts of facebook posts, msn messages, texts, tweets and emails wishing me a happy birthday and luck for the HSC. And yes, I am well connected in the social networking world :P
I didn't even get a cake. Which means that I haven't blown out candles or made a special birthday wish, which is quite sad. Maybe this marks the end of such "childish" birthday traditions? :( I guess my birthday present comes in the form of a Big Day Out ticket. No YSL Arty Ring yet :(
All I know is that after HSC I am going to to make up for it. Big time.
Excuse me while I make a 11.11 wish.
