Last 1/2 Hour of Being 19...

So my 20th birthday is in 20 minutes. Hurray. I can finally leave the 'teenager' stage! And for the only time (for the next 10 years) I will have caught up with my siblings. This year, we will all be in our 20's! It will last until next May when my brother turns 30 and I have to wait again.

I love my friends. The girls at work serenaded me and presented me with a really cute flower-decorated birthday hat. Amanda is taking me out tomorrow for breakfast and kayaking...and Laura is (hopefully) going out for Martinis with me tomorrow night!! And I just chatted with my Renee for a couple hours. It's amazing. We can laugh, cry, argue, joke, make sexual innuendos, and all-in-all strengthen our friendship every time we talk. It all occurs in one conversation! There is no one like her. Except maybe me. I'm a lot like her.

I am in love with Idina Menzel's music. She played Maureen in Rent, who just so happened to be my favourite character in the movie. She has two albums out that no one really knows about. I did some research, found her songs, and now I am in love. I got Renee listening to her as well. I'm trying to find her CDs somewhere because I want to support the artist rather than download her stuff for free. I recommend the songs "Here" (a more pop-ier song) or "If I Told You" (a slow but really pretty song) Download it. Learn to love it. And the major bonus: I can sing along!! It's hard to find songs that are high enough for me to really sing with.

I really need to get up the courage to take some singing lessons or something. Most people have heard me sing....but no one has ever heard me really SING. Singing is my air supply, my cigarette, my addiction. I need it. I dread going back to rez where I can't SING whenever I feel like it. Damn those thin walls.

Well...Happy Birthday to me in 10 minutes...
