sorry about last post

A picture of me and my friends on my 16th birthday (21st March 2006)
I was really annoyed because I did write a long post about my birthday and my wonderful presents from everyone, and then the computer was being weird, and the whole entry got lost.

Anyway, this post will be a bit about my birthday...I got really nice presents from my friends, and from family on Thursday- the inset day. I really liked the compilation CD one of my friends gave me, with some of my favourite songs, and the money I got from my friends contributed to my new James Blunt album!

There's me with my friends and my surprise birthday cake with 16 candles- and the middle one was a relighting one which confused me a bit!It was quite embarrassing because the whole class was singing happy birthday to me and I don't really like being in the spotlight, but I was really happy, and grateful to my friends. I'm the one on the far right of the photo, by the way.

We nicked the lotus seeds today! And right now (at 9:20) I think a seedling is growing already! Just hoping that the other two will come through.

I will start writing in my beautiful Siamese cat notebook that Polly got me soon. It is so nice I don't want to ruin it! But I'm going to write some of my stories in it, if they're good.

I really love Runaway Train by Soul Asylum.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
