Birthday post! I'm 23 now. That just sounds old. But then I totally don't feel old at all. Like at heart I still feel like a young person, but I know 23 is that point where I should be more of an adult than not. My birthday went well. The night before I saw Adrian Brody. Man his nose is big in real life too. Maybe even bigger than I could imagine. Then the next day, my birthday, I went to eat the best pastrami ever, at Langers deli, with my family. If you love pastrami, you should come with me sometime! My treat :) I would go there more often on my own, but its in LA so its not worth it unless someone comes with me. And I say this as a real invite because I've realized its important to spend time with people who want to spend time with me. I only got a few gifts for my birthday, which is fine with me and I'm thankful for the ones I got. But I really liked getting texts throughout the day, starting with the ones I got in the middle of the night. Then checking myspace during the day and getting phone messages from people I haven't talked to in a while. I know it doesn't take but 30 seconds to send something like that but I really did enjoy it. It makes me feel loved. So in return, you guys should come with me to eat pastrami sometime. I want other people to know I'm happy to be your friend. So thanks, even if you don't take me up on my pastrami offer. Seriously though, best pastrami, ever.

I think one of my favorite things to do is sing songs in the car. Honestly, I really think I need to do this more often. I like doing it when I drive by myself, but I love it even more when its with somebody else. For me, because I am a little bit shy about belting it out and doing things that might be embarassing, I think its important for me to do this as much as possible, to simply get over my inhibitions. I know not everyone knows the lyrics to every song, but who cares!? Its about having fun. So another invite or maybe just a suggestion. Lets go somewhere! Anywhere! I'll drive, or you can drive if you want to! As long as we get to sing! But you gotta sing too! I promise, if I laugh at you, its because I'm having fun, not because you suck at singing. Rock songs are fun, N*Sync is always exciting and Disney music is the best. But I get to be Gaston if we sing Beauty and the Beast.

One more thing, SNAKES ON A PLANE! Go see it! It's a completely awful movie and I loved every second of it! Everything I hoped for and more!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop Now if I could sing this song, then I'd really be awesome.

There will be no deep emotional feelings in this blog post. I would just like to say that there is a hissing sound in my ears right now, even though my house is completely silent because MxPx freaking rocked my ear drums apart. Reel Big Fish were pretty fun to watch too. I love concerts. I love mosh pits. I don't know what it is about watching rock bands in the pit. Almost everybody tries to get as close as they can to the band on stage and even if you don't know the lyrics, everybody rocks out, jumps up and down and doesn't mind a little body contact. I love the feeling of being a part of the crowd, not being able to control which way you're going to sway because everybody is packed so close together. I don't even mind sharing other peoples' sweat. It would normally be very gross, but it doesn't bother me when everybody is just bumping back and forth. Maybe its because nobody cares and everyone is just out to have a good time. Now if only my hearing would return.

The last few days have been quite fun for me. I love singing NSync, Blink's Dammit and my favorite, Aladdin! I haven't sung Aladdin in a duet, with a female since 6th grade and that was only in a choir. I also love playing with nerf footballs in parking lots. Late night, unplanned fun is always more fun than planned fun I think. I think thats because that sort of spontaneous fun is more fulfilling because there are no expectations. And the fun you're having is only replacing time alone at home (more often than not). Anyways, I've been quite happy the past few days. I really do have to learn to not let things bother me.
