Happy birthday to me
I turned 15 today. Damn, I'll have to get used to this new age quick, so it doesn't come a shock to me when I turn 16...holy tish! That seems so old! (Well, to me anyway.) I gonna have problems with this. I don't wanna be older, I don't have much time left as a kid... and then I'll have to work or die slowly and horribly and be mugged 'n' stuff... I hate birthdays like I hate Christmas.
Well, a change in the invites! 4 came out of the 12. Joy. How fun that was. We went to see 'Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Were-Rabbit'. I'm very late in seeing these 'ere movies. But I guess it was OK coz I love Aardman and want to work there as an animator etc etc. Cool film, but it took about 10 years to do I hear... Bet that was fun.
Then we came home. I ignored the still wrapped presents my parents gave me; I didn't want them as I was not in the mood. What we did...tortured Penfold, my hamster, then ate. We all ate the pizza, but the hotdogs and evil processed chicken sandwiches were virtually left untouched. My cake was a rather small Wallace and Gromit cake. It was...very small. Then, we watched Angry Kid, yet another Aardman production. My Mom walked in on us a few times, which was very awkward as AK has swear words in it. Then we did nothing. Then they went home. It was all very interesting.
I then was persuaded yet again to open some presents. I did. There were only a few, but there was one I really had fun with. It was a W&G modelling kit (from the good folks at Aardman themselves). I spent about an hour or two modelling Gromit. And, although he looks like he's been wasted, and rolling in dirt (he's very grubby), I'm kinda pleased with the result. I'd show you a pic, but I need to take a photo, so maybe another day. He's standing proudly on the coffee table right now, but I've been told to move it.
One last thing, I found out I came runner-up in Sabertooth Kitty's vacation competition at clubdm.com. She went to Egypt, and I guessed Africa, but since continents weren't allowed, she made me runner-up instead. Well, I'm happy with that ;) Apparently I get a prize too! Coolio.
Maybe being 15's gonna be good?
